If you are in Metallica , you gotta do face to black!

[@14moab]

Mama Said, pliss!!!

[@Zeppelin180]

I don’t care what people say, I still love Reload.

[@sycofya1677]

Me too

[@hughjoelcock7145]

Great riffs, Devils Dance is heavy AF. Cliff was the one who even said they weren’t out there to play 1000mph the whole time. They’ve followed that to this day and a lot of people hate them for it. And also being a voice for up and coming artists trying to make a name who would’ve had their music grifted around everywhere for free, they hate them for that too.

[@cynthiastanley35]

I do as well💖💖💖💖

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I still miss Cliff so much. He was my favorite member even before they were famous. Another friend who's a great jazz fusion guitarist was in a band with Cliff way back in the day. He used to have these barn jams on the ranch his family owned that we would all go play at. Basically keg parties with mostly musicians. I saw Jimmy Martin (Faith No More) do the best guitar covers of _Heart Breaker_ and _War Pigs_ there too. He didn't just play them note for note though, he was perfectly copying the same "mistakes" Page and Iommi made on the original studio versions. I'll never forget how blown away I was by that. Most of us knew how to play those songs, even all the solos, but not like that. lols

[@tomroberts5805]

Fuck yes!

[@doofinator4285]

To me, this is the trilogy: 1- I’m struggling to forgive them. Most angry. 2- I’m struggling to forgive you. Angry but reflective. 3- I’m struggling to forgive myself. Perhaps the most somber and reflective. Loneliness. Self-loathing.

[@ZombieJesus1987]

I feel like Unforgiven 3 is about James' struggle with addiction. It's definitely one of his most vunerable songs

[@deadnd444]

I read a theory long time ago that said Unforgiven 1 - The Unforgiven of Society Unforgiven 2 - The Unforgiven of Love Unforgiven 3 - The Unforgiven of Self

[@Chester0855]

​@deadnd444 this is the evolution of the songs, i read it from metallica article

[@edwardkline1927]

I first heard this song in a pizza spot at camp pendleton when i was in infantry school in the marine corps it made me cry and made me miss home. I love this song to this day and its one of my all time favorites ever.

[@blacklexus3965]

the meaning of life person to person, "if you can understand the me then i can understand the you"

[@ben1ben]

Unforgiven 2 has some Unforgiven 1 references first the refrain in this song at 3:32 has the same lyrics with the ''What I've felt, What I've known'' then the ''So I dub thee Unforgiven'' at 7:21 and then also ''never free, never me'' at 7:38. Also Metallica did a little word play with ''are you unforgiven too?'' because this is Unforgiven 2 and they did the ''too'' yea you get it. Great Reaction.

[@brandoncampbell7274]

Metallica: Sad but True

[@editmel]

Nice!

[@theblackkittie13]

The ringtone for my phone, such an epic song!

[@bjthompson5259]

Definitely

[@ryanhiatt9001]

PLEASE PLEASE Check out “No Leaf Clover” that they performed with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. It’s absolute masterpiece and the reason Metallica is the greatest of All Time.

[@jmhaces]

Agreed. I didn't really like it when it came out but it grew on me for sure. It's a great record and an awesome song.

[@chosanwan1510]

Waiting for Jamel to react to “No Leaf Clover” and "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)"

[@CarrotHawk]

Yes! Those live performances are absolutely perfect, and truly showcase James’s vocals!

[@mjmcomputers]

Yes! I said the same thing on the last one.

[@jonesi24]

But you’ve gotta do the original release from S&M not S&M2... when the song was FIRST played for anyone... his singing in the at song and the reaction from the crowd that was the first to ever hear it makes that the better version in my eyes, ears and heart!

[@ork_oz]

React to Metallica - Bleeding me or Outlaw torn. His voice is insane

[@webcrawler2007]

Outlaw Torn is an underrated master

[@bryansproles2879]

Outlaw Torn is my favorite track on that disc.

[@CarrotHawk]

Especially the S&M Live San Francisco Orchestra version of Outlaw Torn!

[@kristianbarrenechea]

@@CarrotHawk the best one

[@Fixxer315]

Outlaw Torn is a must-listen. Easily the best song on Load, and arguably in the top 10 of Metallica songs. I would actually put it in my top 5, and I consider myself lucky to have seen it live in Chicago during their 1999-2000 MetaliniumTtour. It's never been part of a regular set, and they've only played it a handful of times.

[@ravenlockhart0925]

"Like I'm reading the book, before watching the movie" I absolutely love that, well said. I'd love to see you're reaction to "Low Man's Lyrics", "Hero of the Day" and "Momma Said"

[@fitzeefreshvids1888]

One of the few reactors who responds to his subscribers well done and happy for the success of your channel great stuff!!♥️ from Minnesota

[@jamelakajamal]

Stay Tuned👍🏾

[@kimnora53]

Stay warm

[@thormarquez16]

The outlaw torn or bleeding me are great songs from this era of Metallica

[@DvdLr7943]

This is poetry accompanied by music.

[@martos60]

The lyrics to this song are one of the absolute best Hetfield has ever written. I don't know why it's so underappreciated.

[@billywestom]

I’d love hear your reaction to “Mama Said” by Metallica.

[@elgatofelix8917]

Great underrated song. All the songs from Load are great. The entire album is underrated.

[@Celatra]

@@elgatofelix8917 cure is kind of eh though.

[@scambulance]

That song gets me

[@billywestom]

@@scambulance me too! Lost mine at 16.

[@Kendelise1]

Yes!!! great song!

[@volbeatrules6528]

“Bleeding me”really shows James’ chops and versatility as well, same time frame-ish as first 2 Unforgivens

[@southweststrangla420]

reading a book before watching the movie. perfectly put. the videos and the live stuff could ad stuff or remove stuff. listen to the original album version first. couldnt agree more

[@hoopsmccann639]

i agree. knowing what the studio version sounds like makes live addendums even better.

[@johnson1010YT]

True. Some of these videos go pretty far afield of the human experiences that the song speaks to.

[@kimnora53]

'Bleeding me' is so good Jamel

[@josemclovin]

The unforgiven songs are one one of my favorites they tell a story in my life too every Metallica song does

[@smasheduppumpkinette]

I’ve not heard this song in years and forgot how great it is. I might have to go pull out my Metallica cd’s and give them re-listen. I was really into them when I was 15/16 but it’s been a while.

[@cfinley81]

This made me bring out my collection, too. This one takes me straight back to high school!

[@MrKevlarkent]

one of the most underrated metallica songs imo: i disappear

[@BoostedCajun]

James blew his voice out while they were making the black album. He had to go through for rehab, to get his voice back to record the rest of the black album. He sought help to get his voice back, he uses something monks use to train their vocal cords. He still until this day carries the same cassette tape to sings along to, to warm up before shows. Watch the “Cunning Stunts” movie they released. He sings along to it in that movie. This album he put to use what he learned to sing to his full ability, without blowing his voice out and straining etc.

[@skbkaz]

Man, it feels like ages since I last listened to this song. Such an awesome trilogy of songs

[@rmyukon]

HERO OF THE DAY from the Load album is amzing!

[@jmhaces]

It always felt to me like this song was kind of a hybrid between the original "The Unforgiven" and their earlier song "Fade To Black" both musically and as far as their vibes go. Hell, the subject matter in the lyrics kind of also is a similar to both of those songs now that I think about it.

[@iansolostern7301]

It's not "paralyze" (bad lyric transcriber) it's"pair of lives." That changes the meaning a great deal. Love your reactions!

[@UselessHumansMusic]

Wait until you hear 'The Outlaw Torn'... it's breathtaking.

[@adamyahya4638]

"I read the book before I watch the movie". Perfectly put my man.

[@F13thvoorhees]

This is my favorite of the "Unforgiven" songs. In my opinion, one of the best things Metallica ever did after The Black Album.

[@hughjoelcock7145]

James really came into his own as a singer (and still is) and I respect him a lot for that. Some people don’t understand the level of musician he really is for the little amount of formal training he’s had. He can play the drums (better than Lars, probably), and piano as well.

[@MajahDancer]

I really love his voice on this song.

[@josephsharp5678]

And to add to that he is a fantastic rhythm guitarist.

[@revjim123]

I can’t wait for Unforgiven 19

[@scarletjohnston741]

😂

[@N7Merk]

Wow I’m actually not seeing this video 2 months later...

[@bitchwithanitch]

Metallica, "Trapped under ice" rocks like a freight train!

[@tonysandwiches7298]

Hear the call back to "Unforgiven 1" in the ending lines: "Never free, never me"

[@erfi2007]

James's voice in this song is so beautiful

[@tomroberts5805]

The unforgiven trilogy have amongst the most significance of any music in my life for all the right AND wrong reasons. Very powerful stuff for me.

[@jacekjackson6903]

If I remember. James lost his voice. He was learning how to sing again. Some say it is in country style I don't carre I love them from Kill em all and load is part of Metallica hisory. Greatings from Poland keep on rocking 🤘

[@ericpoirier5654]

Since i know you listened to all three songs, here’s the different perspectives. The Unforgiven: They didn’t forgave him Unforgiven II: He can’t forgive them Unforgiven III: He can’t forgive himself

[@MrEric622]

F*cknig brilliant.

[@tyef572]

James singing has gotten better year after year...... listen to the day that never comes... his singing is amazing on it.

[@tiges1972]

No matter what genre you connect with. We all have the same struggles, pain, we are human... music can unite! ✌✌

[@77Aaronw77]

Diggin into the Metallica library...youre gonna be there a while...one of the greatest bands ever put together....period

[@vannacee26]

👊

[@paveltolz6601]

Many meanings to be drawn from personal impressions to that of what it is really about. It almost feels like one is emerging from depression knowing there's another cycle and while he has a lifeline, she too suffers from her own depression/issues and the doubts and fears are multiplied in the unknowing darkness that is Depression.

[@johnjr757]

Social Distortion is a great rock band with a lot of emotional lyrics. A couple of good ones: When The Angels Sing Don't Take Me For Granted

[@GeekFurious]

There are some people who think III is not as good II which is not as good as I. And those people are my enemies! I kid. But III is amazing. They all are pretty great. But III feels the most present to me... it was written by a 40+ year-old James.

[@markmaloney3140]

Look at you go big man. Love it so much. Thanks bro.

[@davinaburden7529]

I think Metallica are so misunderstood they are not just another Metal band there song lyrics as so poetic and deep and they are masters of there instruments ♥️♥️♥️

[@pamelabaldwin2923]

Jamel thank you so much for keeping kickass music alive..l love it..🤟🎤🎸

[@morg106]

As MetallicA are my favourite band people are often surprised when I tell them THIS is my favourite song of all time, it incredible, I love the them with these of inverting the usual, so a soft verse and heavy chorus which wasn’t the done thing back then.

[@jahrolo]

Reload was my first Metallica Album (that I´ve bought myself) when I was 13... And this song has a special place in my heart - got my first kiss from a girl while listening to it :D

[@MegaEaglelover]

I never knew there was 2 other parts to this epic Song 🎧

[@BrettDel]

So many good Metallica songs still for you to discover from Load and Reload. Until it sleeps, King Nothing, Hero of the day. Fuel, the memory remains.

[@victormurphy7956]

Listen to no man's lyrics that another under appreciated metallica song.

[@TastyLasagna_]

the word play in this song is what made this whole album in my opinion

[@nicoconcepcion1027]

If you've ever trusted yet had your heart broken in the end, you'll relate so much to the Unforgiven 2! But they're all masterpieces, IMO.

[@seasickviking]

I love thesubtle humor James has in his songs... "Are You Unforgiven Too?" (Unforgiven Too/Unforgiven 2)

[@cfinley81]

I've noticed that since the beginning and love it!

[@elgatofelix8917]

I don't think of was supposed to be funny but ok

[@uninn]

Thanks for completing the trilogy! Part three is next in my queue.

[@super_retro8465]

Remember when I was like 10 years old watching the music video on tv, being freaked out but loving the song. Best Unforgiven out of the 3 songs for me 🤘

[@Cid_1]

We be here for part 3 when you drop it,keep up the good work.

[@johnjackson9767]

"I'm reading the book before I go watch the movie." YES!

[@Damien_Paxton]

You’re welcome! Thank you so much for reacting to the trilogy.

[@mikelee8937]

lol, actually paid a local MV "order by phone" station to see the music video in the mid 90s since I couldn't afford cable for either VH1 or MTV. Miss it, even if I can now see all I want off youtube at the moment.

[@scottgeorgeff2896]

Thank you, dude!! 💚 You know we're all going to be sitting here waiting for you to do part 3. Like now. Like Now now. We're waiting.....😎

[@scarletjohnston741]

And he delivered 🤘🤩

[@deminybs]

this is my favorite of the 3 unforgiven tracks 🤟

[@ReeceyBoy_4]

Best band of all time brothers. They've done all the genres and mastered them all

[@alhainmccallister3383]

It kinda feels to me like he is saying "The sins of the father are visited upon the sins of the son" kind of message. I think of it as he was talking to his parents in part 1, to himself in part 2 repeating the same mistakes his parents made by abusing his kids. (That is how I interpret the song and not what I think James is admitting to in real life as I know very little about his life.)

[@bkoeven1]

James sounds awesome no matter what he does

[@tommyarnold890]

If I'm not mistaken, Unforgiven II was written after James went to rehab. I always liked the lyric at the end where he said, "I take this key and I bury it in you". It sounded like he was talking to his wife. The key being their kids, leaving them with her and they being the keys to his own soul. He was protecting them from his own demons.

[@editmel]

This album was my Jr high/high school. Reload was on repeat. History wise, this was their metal adaptation to grunge music and James desire to feature his voice. Lyricly this album is a masterpiece. Check out Bad Seed 😍

[@mst1740]

I much prefer Unforgiven 2. So thrilled you covered it. I adore Metallica. Play as much as you want. The lyrics are always deep. The God Who Failed is amazing because James' family were Christian Scientists and his mother didn't seek treatment for the cancer that killed her because the family left it in God's hands.

[@gaborkovacs8765]

You are suuper symphatic! and professional! thank You !

[@gregwilliams9737]

😎😎😎 that breakdown & transition 😎😎😎

[@jasonmelendy9367]

Jamel I cannot tell you how many times I have heard all three of these songs. I absolutely love them When I head the three of them together it gave me a whole new love affair for these songs So I highly recommend u do it if u so choose my brother

[@SKEC212]

This song gets me every time. Two thumbs up.

[@claudettesmith8328]

Well, his voice sounds different because part 1 was earlier Metallica & starting with "The Black" album+ Reload alot of people hated it & said they "sold out", lost their edge or just "went" commercial. The more their vocal ablities showed through the I loved them.

[@srt8rocketship241]

The tone on Load and Re-load is so thick. The way you are doing these is better as no distractions.

[@tedcook9621]

Awesome! Now lets hear part 3!

[@afewminuteswithchrispycubi8945]

I love this guy not only cuz he listens to his fans and finishes the trilogy but he shows respect. "Im gonna pause it there cuz i dont know when a solo is coming" 😂😂😂😂

[@manguy2000]

Unforgiven 12 drops next week. Who I've felt... Who I've blown

[@1221tesla]

Pretty sure that was titled “So What” 😂🤘🏻🎸

[@The_Horse-leafs_Cabbage]

This song got me into Metallica

[@axemanracing6222]

Now there we go

[@razvanboghi7502]

Like reading a book before the movie... Nice one bro!!! I also focus on the lyrics first... I didn't know how to explain myself until now

[@phballer99]

Would love to see you react to their song "Hero of the Day". One of their most underrated songs in my opinion.

[@UltraBob619]

Glad you got to this. Always loved 2 the best. No leaf clover is a great song to check out.

[@psychomantis9442]

I love the way you're taking this journey, keep it up! I also suggest: Whiskey in a Jar, and Until it Sleeps

[@Celtsfan1988]

Great song on the Reload album

[@feignamnesia]

If you haven't already listened to it, Nothing Else Matters by Metallica is great too.

[@mst1740]

I hope he reviews this. I got married to this song.

[@ben1ben]

he already reacted to it

[@terryschleicher8511]

My favorite of the unforgiven songs

[@redditor2112]

Love the book and movie analogy. Keep it real.

[@fitzeefreshvids1888]

Thanks, I needed that!

[@bjthompson5259]

My favorite out of the three , thanks Jamal

[@denisebohar4338]

Metallica are one of my favorites

[@jennyd1111]

I also love Carpe Diem. That's one of my favorites.

[@HazelEyedAndWild]

Thank you!!! 🙏💗

[@nicolasanastasiou4666]

Great reactions man! I am going to suggest Bleeding me from Metallica, you ll def love that! Keep enjoying great art, great music..!

[@BLOEDVLEK]

The first one is definitely the best. This is still really great and on my list of top Metallica songs. Never knew they made a third. It must be new.

[@vannacee26]

2008

[@leehale5828]

Jamel, love your work. Here's one to check out " Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench - Kiss Guy - multi-cameras" The best version 9:50 long.

[@jamesboyd5305]

Whiskey in the jaro! Good one too!

[@MrEric622]

That intro always gets me...

[@roguetuber4377]

It's litteraly like a drug

[@dvd4802]

This is my favorite one

[@michaelboyce9028]

Like Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond which also has several Parts too.

[@furniture478]

Best reaction time on youtube
