This song hits hard as you get older. Deep track. One of my all time favorite🔥
Very real so true. When the black album came out it was no where near at the time as earlier more as who I was at the time. Now it's genius. And experience of life so a bit more knowledge. Experience is knowledge and that's ours individually for all. Before it's more someone said this and that's how we see it. 👍😁All the best to all is my go. Life's short the saying goes. True and undeniable.
Exactly, for 30 year olds to write this is amazing, this is not something you really grasp til your 50s
I was 15 when this album came out. You do not lie.
Nothing Else Matters and this song are on the same album. Idc what anyone says, it's a masterpiece. It's their fifth studio album released in 1991
I'd agree.
Id agree also, this album was classic.
Couldn't agree more, their last amazing album in my opinion.
Every Metallica album that came after The Black Album sucked!! And that's the truth.
@@bonsai67 yep 100% agree
My mother in law had this played in church at her funeral. May she rest in peace 🕊️
Absolutely, may she rest in peace. Cool ass Mom in law.✌️
🤘
That must have been so powerful.
Nice,what a cool church/vicar/priest!
James Hetfield of Metallica wrote 'The Unforgiven' about his parents... He had endured a difficult childhood under Christian science beliefs, his father left the family, and then his mom died from cancer after refusing treatments for her beliefs... It was hard becoming an introverted adult and discovering that the world in their view was a lie, and lead him to a path of alcohol abuse and reckless behavior... especially in Metallica's early days...
Having been raised a JW, I can empathize
@@shanebrown4146 Different context... Maynard Keenan's mom Judith Marie was a devout Christian. She suffered a stroke in 1976, when Maynard was just 11 yrs old... and she was partially paralyzed for 27 years until her death. Maynard was perplexed by her devotion to religion, despite her difficult circumstances that likely affected Maynard as well...
People do not understand that their problems (addictions, disease, handicaps) eventually become others' problems when they have to take care of them.
Maynard wrote 'Judith' (A Perfect Circle) and 'Wings for Marie' (Tool) about his mom.
To Hetfield's mom's credit, she did buy him his first amp.
Thanks
Thank you for the background info. It definitely hits harder now.
As a teenager, this song to me was about a child being forced into a life that they did not want. Being controlled to live a specific life that one's parents deemed "correct" for a child. In the process stifling the freedom and independence and eventually crushing the spirit and soul of the child. Eventually, the child wakes up and realizes that they have been fighting against this all their life, but are powerless to prevent the eventual loss of their will, "this old man here is me". With their life now wasted and all potential to ever "see what might have been" they dub whoever destroyed them as "Unforgiven".
And that's exactly what it's about. His parents pushing religion @ him and in the end neither parent "practiced what they preached".
Teaching religion to anyone under 18 should be considered child abuse.
@@eleven2170 they scare little kids with stories of hellfire and damnation , eternal suffering etc. giving them ptsd and nightmares sometimes.
And if it turns out hell is very real all these comments are going to hit much differently. Religion is not "forced" on hardly anyone in American, that is just a flat out lie. There are always rare exceptions, but simple having to go to church as a kid is not forcing religion on anyone. Everyone grows and and does what they want to do as an adult. Most kids today do what they want to do as kids, they don't even have to wait to adulthood. The comments smell more of religious bigotry than anything, you all grew up and did whatever you wanted with your lives as adults.
@@Orange6921 you're seriously going to tell me that there are no children in the US made to go to church and at least go along with the charade to keep from being abused? Of course there are. And quite frankly I don't think a god who would create a damned soul by default is worthy of worship.
Lex, you are a true music lover. You have such an open mind you realize if musicians are good, they're good. You allow for them to have different sounds and still acknowledge their greatness. You don't get mad if they experiment and try to develop and grow in their creativity. You don't compare apples to oranges, or think music is a competition. Metallica is lucky to have a fan like you. Thumbs up, sister.
The entire Black Album is a masterpiece......every single song is awesome....its one of those CDs you could pop in, and just let it play.........."Dont Tread on Me" and "of Wolf and Man" are both exceptional as well as the many singles this album produced.....Sad but true, Wherever I may Roam, Unforgiven................the album is just a masterpiece
Wolf and Man is just an awesome concept the execution was perfect. And then James wolf themed guitar neck.
I love the Black album, but Don’t Tread on Me is awful. Just my opinion, don’t freak out on me.
Everything on the Black Album, Ride The Lightning and, "And Justice For All" was excellent. Every Single Song on each of those albums was something any band should be proud to their own.
Hell yeah
@@StuartGray you don’t like master of puppets or kill ‘em all?
This is just a masterpiece. From the Morricone western guitars to the lyrics. The melodies and guitars.
"....do I like young you or old you..." perfect analogy for the progression we all enjoy in really great bands.
One of Kirk Hammett's best solos imo
Sharp as tbf.
Metallica is one of the Great Bands of our Time! I remember when this Album came out in the Early 90's, we played the Album over & over and Never got Tired of it.
Played this song in my school talent show Lolol has the most meaning to me out of all of their songs even played the acoustic guitar at the soft parts like James🥲
Following Metallica is like the phases of marriage. Started like the best thing ever, changed over time and slowed down, got to a phase where we didn't even know each other and wanted a divorce, and then got back to our roots and realized we still love each other and are going to be ok. 😂
Metal ballads have such an epic cinematic quality to them
Its hard to pick one Metallica song as a favorite, but I really love this one. The vocal arrangements are awesome.
Love this song. It's completely badass.
I forgot how epic the solo is! This was the first cassette I ever purchased. Where does the time go…
This album spent over 550 weeks on the Billboard charts, 3rd longest ever. It also sold over 16,000,000 in America and 31,000,000 around the world.
It's actually over 35 million
And older metallica fans at the time called us sellouts for loving that album at that time
They are in the pantheon of great musical groups.
As an original Metallica fan (Cliff Burton era) I was one of those people that wasn't sure what to think about some of the black album. The first time I heard Enter Sandman I friggin LOVED it, but then Nothing Else Matters totally threw me for a loop. Once I accepted that as the "new" Metallica I thought that this song was something REALLY special!
“Somewhere between ‘Blackened’ & ‘Nothing Else Matters’” … don’t let her outta your sight Brad!!! 🤘
I'm really enjoying Lexi can pinpoint where a song is on the Metallica timeline. This was right as they started to use a more hard rock sound and an actual producer who produced sonically good records.
Lex, you were born to be a metal, hard rock, and hair band aficionado. I’ve never seen someone who just takes to these genres of music like a duck to water like you do. Brad, you always make me smile. Just the serious look like you’re trying to figure out the motive of the songs but, I’m sorry, you don’t have a poker face. We can tell when you actually enjoy the music far more than you let on. Please keep broadening the horizons.
Well, now you have to listen The Unforgiven parts II and III. You'll love it.
I second that motion!!
+1
Yep. I think they only get better
Yes Brad and Lex
I was thinking the same thing, you have to listen to the trilogy now.
Fade to black and unforgiven🔥🔥🔥
This song touched me so much when I was a kid I actually got unforgiven tattooed on my arm my friend who was 16 too did it. lol
There are 3 Unforgiven"s, My favourites in order are 1 or 3 (I can't decide) then 2. This is from the "Black" Album, it's actually called Metallica but everyone refers to it as The Black Album. This this the album that made Metallica the biggest metal band of all time.....who doesn't know Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters?
This was my first Metallica album and I went back and bought all of their older albums. So if it wasn't for this album I probably wouldn't be a Metallica or Metal fan
Did you see Metallica on Howard Stern show? Miley Cyrus covered Nothing Else Matters for her album and her producer asked Elton John to do the intro and outro on piano for the song instead of guitar and while they were on Howard Stern Elton zoom called in and told them that Nothing Else Matters was one of the best songs ever written and James was visibly shaken when he said that. It was pretty awesome.
I love sad but true.
I enjoy all 3 as well. However I quite like part 2. Not sure why. Probably my age the time it came out had some sort of significance.
I think 2 is my favourite one, but I like them all
I didn't care for this "new" Metallica when I first heard it as a young 20 year-old in 1991. I loved their raw energy that I fed on since Kill 'Em All. But now, I really appreciate what this song is about, and I can feel it in my bones. This song has so much more meaning in my 50s.
What a song, what a band, grew up listening to these and other amazing bands
Yeah this is my youth. This and Nirvana and Pearl Jam and Pantera and so many more...
That snare hits so hard and pure. The drums are my favorite part of this song.
It's true you do fall in love with the music of Metallica
This entire album may be the greatest album I have ever heard top to bottom.
No question about it for me. A true masterpiece. Not a single miss.
I love how lex gets into metallicas sound and can just feel it! Awesome.
Now you have to react to The Unforgiven 2 and 3!
This continues to be in my top 3 Metallica songs ever. It's genius, heartbreaking and means something to everyone who loves it. So glad you enjoyed it.
Lexie nails another analogy...
The different phases of Metallica are
Like the different phases of life of the one you love...
Lexie never ceases to surprise me with her insight...
This song resonates for me as I see it describes a life that begins with being repressed by horid people and transitions through a life typified by unfulfilled potential and ends with the resultant bitterness. Very sad.
This was released just a few months before Clint Eastwood's movie "Unforgiven" and I remember at the time that it would have been something that would have been awesome if they had been linked somehow...
The Black Album was the first album I ever found that I loved every single song
Same, Nirvana's "Nevermind" was another one I loved every song on from that era...
First album from Metallica was Master of Puppets, then Ride the lightning and 'and justice for all', 'Black' album is good, but too much pop.
@@MrRoosterx I think their 'Black' album was the best album they made... Just my opinion.
@@LSD123. most people agree with you which is why it was seen as a sellout by Metallica's earlier fans. The black album went pop and disappointed the real metalheads.
Ride the lightning, master of puppets and black albums are the 3 albums that all songs are good. And I agree nevermind is one as well. But I do like ride the lightning best over all even though I was introduced with black album.
I found Metallica during this Album as an 8th grader. So I will always love this album. Plus it sold like 20 million copies so how could everyone be wrong.
e.g. = AT LEAST 20 million people in this world like to sexually abuse children.
"so how could everyone be wrong" ???
It still sells about a million copies
Best album for sure.
Yep almost 30million to date
35 and going.
I think the lyrics are pretty straight forward. A bitter old man reflecting on his life, all the things he didn't do, all the things that didn't become. Also sounds like he never got to really be himself, to be free. His whole life was a battle, but the last battle, death, he cannot win. "The old man then prepares to die regretfully. That old man here is me."
Good and sad song.
The song is actually about James' life growing up.
@@jasonpatrick5660 Yeah I guess that makes sense. In the beginning there's something about "the young boy learns their rules", referring to his christian science parents and their strict regime. The overall song still fits my reading of it I think, as it's about what was lost and could have been, never to come back etc.
aww Lex was so cute talking about loving Brad
I CAN ALWAYS LISTEN TO METALLICA AND ANYTIME!!!!⚡🤘🔥🔥🤘⚡HELL YEAH BABY!!!!
That's from the "sell out" period. Their hard-core fans accused them of selling out. Hetfield said damn right, we sell out everywhere we play.
Lex, your comparisons and observations are so spot on. For someone so new to the great world of Metal, you've absorbed so much already and truly submerged yourself into it. It's a pleasure to watch. 🤘😎
"YOU WERE YOU AT EVERY POINT...SO I LOVE IT ALL." Lex - your "Brad" analogy to the different phases of Metallica is the greatest analogy I've ever seen. Anywhere. Brilliantly constructed and beautifully composed. Separate strands of logic and love intertwined into a double-helix. Possibly the sweetest thing a wife could say to her husband. I loved it!! Thank you - to both of you - for posting this.
In the US Army in 93 and heard a dude cranking this from his room. I busted in and said this is Metallica?!?!? He just grinned...I bought the cd that night where it became a fixture on my 5 disc carousel cd changer (remember those?) for the next several years.. along side AIC, STP, PJ and SG
You two make me happy. That declaration of love fueled my heart. Respect.
"It's somewhere between Blackened and Nothing Else Matters". She knows Metallica better than I do.
Yeah, The Unforgiven is Track 4, Nothing else Matters Track 8 on Metallica. And Blackend of course on the previous album.
It sounds nothing like Blackened
I absolutely love this song and whole album. This is one of the best guitar solos ever.
Man it's amazing to hear Metallica again after all these years... listen at how big that rock sound is! Such a big stage sound!!
theres just something so magical about this song. the guitar harmonies at the end just hit the spot
Love that you guys finally are hearing this song. It has one of my favorite solos ever. Also, if you didn't notice.. the song is sort of inverse from the usual. Usually verses are calmer and the choruses are heavier. But in this, the verses are heavy and the choruses are lighter. Pretty sweet
It took some time for me to adjust to the songs on this album. I was used to their 'Master Of Puppets' sound since it was the first album I had owned. Still, the 'Black' album grew on me over time.
I've had that same experience with a lot of different artists too, when their following album sounds completely different to their usual sound. SOAD, Slipknot, The Prodigy etc. I've disliked albums upon release but grown to love and appreciate them over time once my own musical tastes have changed.
I prefer Pasta Of Muppets
@@NoTH-camName1 - LOL!
@@peterwale6821 - It was after the 'Black' album that I struggled with being "tolerant" of Metallica's follow up efforts. While there might be songs I was able to enjoy, overall, I lost complete interest and just continued listening and purchasing albums from other bands that I liked. The very last album I purchased from Metallica was 'Hardwired'. At least the title track from the album is decent. I have yet to sit through the rest of it. With Slipknot, it wasn't that I didn't dig what they released, they just weren't releasing "Slipknot" albums. They started having that "Stone Sour" sound to them, and I also dig that band. I just don't feel the two should mix.
One of my favorite Metallica songs.
The video to this song is disturbingly amazing. Deep. One of my all-time favs.
What I like about this song is that is sounds so mellow and yet it is hard. Such a good balance
Love these reviews, love your chemistry, subscribed!
From Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa, I am always in awe whenever I hear this masterpiece. Really awesome
I love y’all’s reactions .. and Lex is my vibe all summer lol
I will never forget seeing this song live. I will always defend Metallica as one of the biggest bands in history, they put me on the metal road and I haven't looked back
Nice to see MetaLex back in action, riding the couch lightning during the solo. ✌️
Seeing them in concert is such an awesome experience. In my 20s I saw them about a dozen times. It's also different, saw them in an NFL stadium (Foxborough), and in MSG, both are awesome, and different -- 75k people or 20k people and you get the lights going off during Enter Sandman, and the lighters going up during Unforgiven. Definitely try to see them before they stop touring. Remember seeing them twice in 3 days -- driving 600 miles between concerts -- just because my friends scored tickets -- and I wasn't gonna say no. Early 2000s -- was such fun.
Backend was on the And Justice For All... album 1989. The Unforgiven was on The Black album 1991 with the song Enter Sandman.
Well said, "The you, at every point in time", Yes. The evolution of taste, and personality. We all go though it. Such an epic observation, specially considering of the video's to come.
You 2 never give up, you are amazing
Yes! I hope you guys take my song suggestions. I have suggested this one and a few other reactions ive seen by you guys.
This song is fire
Hey guys what's up! Greetings from South Florida! This song and this album brings back so many memories. You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
I love this song his voice is like the focus and I think his voice is amazing
Great song. I love y'alls dynamic, you two for real remind me of me and my wife.
I love how this song is loud and heavy in the verse, and then quiet in the chorus! It's like the opposite of a lot of songs. ... Like, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is quiet in the verse, but loud in the chorus. This is the opposite! ... Plus, the solo is one of the best!
Yeah I saw this group is Faith No More took my cousins to a show can't remember exactly where it was but it was an outdoor Arena it's so amazing that they played in front of millions of people in Russia back in the day there's another version of this song I like Unforgiven 2 is so awesome he got to hear it the guitarist uses what's called a b Bender Telecaster you have pulled down the neck of the guitar and it causes the strap to activate the spring which just loosens are tight ends to b string on the guitar it was normally used on country songs but it's really amazing the way they rearrange that song it's absolutely unreal okay you goofballs
They didn't just band out songs. Their music was well thought out and brilliantly performed. Great melodies that sink into the depths of the soul.
In 1991 This album, Nirvana Nevermind, Peral Jam Ten, Guns N Roses Use Your Illusion 1&2, Red Hot Chili Peppers Blood Sugar Sex Magic, and Soundgarden Badmotherfinger All Came out within 44 Days of each other. It was an awesome time for music. Also Pearl Jam Ten is essentially a perfect album... not a single bad song.
So this song is part one of three that was done over years, this being the first is about that anger and rebellion of feeling oppressed in your youth from your family or society so he can’t forgive them, the second one is about middle life where his relationships are not satisfactory and he sees his anger and betrayal from his lover and she is unforgivable also, in the third song from the viewpoint of an older man that is reflecting on his life realizing he has blamed everyone for his failures and holding him back but in fact it was him that is to blame for his decisions and failures and finally realizes he is actually the person he can never forgive.
One of my favorite songs from them this is off the Black album,Omg they were so versatile.👍
My favorite all time song of theirs. The lyrics are so true back then as they are today.
Life is brutal.
The official video of this song really illustrated the meaning of this song. The greatest gift you can give your child is the freedom to find themselves...it's also the toughest thing a parent has to do. Protection vs freedom...so tough.
I like the intro straight to the video, and that’s why you got a new suscriptor 😊
Love your videos. You guys are a cool and insightful couple
The Black Album was the first album I bought. It resonated with my spirit within during my teens (still does) and would set me up for an amazing journey into rock, metal and prog rock.
When i first heard the unforgiven and the unforgiven 2 on CD i literally just put them on repeat over and over like 20 times. Metallica was so fkn good back then and Kirk was a lead guitar god
Heck yes Brad & Lex 👏💯 this song is sooooo good.
"Adult. Definitely adult. I was crazy." Hahaha you and me both, brother.
Great reaction! James proved he was a legit singer for The Unforgiven. In fact, his vocals would begin to change drastically after the Black album (e.g., vocal damage, singing lessons, wider vocal range). Check out Unforgiven 2&3; The Outlaw Torn; Bleeding Me; Hero of the Day 🤘⚡
Idk man, his voice in Fade to Black was something else
love the contrast in personalities here. I was rockn out to it
This albums lost a lot of fans, but also gained a lot of fans.
This was an excellent craddle-to-the-grave story. A cautionary tale, illustrating how easily bullying can destroy a life.
It begins with a baby boy, which the song says was more or less "f---ed at birth."
Then follows that individual through his life, enduring constant bullying, becoming more and more bitter, until he is finally an elderly man on his death bed. And we see him looking back, seeing his entire life wasted.
Then we reach the end and hear "That old man here is me." Surprisingly changing from third person, to first person.
The brooding poetry found in these lyrics, have cemented this song as a shining, permanent piece of Americana.
I remember back at this stage in Metallica's career there was always news about them all going to a counselor together so they could stay together and to help them work through their band issues.
I love it all is exactly how i feel.. old or new Metallica its all great...
I've always thought this song was the band saying goodbye to their old sound. "The old man here is me"
I have always absolutely loved the guitar tone on this solo. If you have not been around live music let me be the first to inform you that this is exactly what it sounds like to stand next to a very large guitar amp at a very high volume. Glorious.
"adult... Definately adult, I was crazy!"🤣🤣🤣
I loved both as well. Metallica was amazing!
Oh awesome. Another Metallica reaction video. Just what the world needed.
You guys are awesome LOVE 💘 your reactions 😄
Brad reading the lyrics and lex vibing I just fucking died on my floor laughing
I saw Metallica in the mid 90's.... 3 to 5 thousand people. Felt almost personal...love it😂
That's pretty cool that the two true loves in Lex's life are Brad and Metallica
This is their commercial sound, all polished, packaged and sold.
