I think Lars is a big reason why at least half of the songs they've written since Kill 'Em All have ended up the way they did on the albums. He may not be the best drummer but he seems to definitely be good at the musical arrangements and taking what has been written and putting a great song together out of it all.
have to admire Lars direction and foresight towards song structuring and his work ethic towards making something small into a Metallica song. I admit i was one of those guys who shat on him for his ego and mannerisms but now i feel i am respecting his work in metallica
He just knows what it takes man. That's all there is to it. It's pure work ethic. People can shit on Lars all they want. It doesn't change the fact that he's the drummer for Metallica and they're some nobody talking shit.
Lars may not be a crazy songwriter, but he seriously has epic arrangement visions, throughout all of Metallica's history he helped shape the complex songs. I read an interview in a Magazine I own, James confirmed this.
I love the first 2 verses of this song. How could he know. This new dawn's light. Would change his life forever. Set sail to sea. But pulled off course. By the light of golden treasure. REALLY GREAT !!!!
I love how these guys work. They just sit in a room together and feed off each others energy while constantly brainstorming ideas. Lars especially, when he's in the zone he looks like a mad scientist trying to discover some new law of physics. Lol. James adds some balance by making sense of all the madness, Kirk just watches then goes home and comes back with something, and Rob I think just pretty much shows up and does what he is told. So awesome to watch, could watch them for hours.
Of all the unforgiven trilogy, Unforgiven III is the best I think. James: You are a great songwriter. You put a hell of emotion to every song you touch. We are so lucky to be witnessing history by living in the same era with you. Please never give up writing songs. Thank you for being part of our lives. Respect!
u know James was a drummer. Also i think he was better drummer than Lars xd he can beat Lars on this drum battle: th-cam.com/video/_fq0DncxKiw/w-d-xo.html
he is the sole founder James said he just wanted to be in a band and saw the opportunity with Lars so Lars owns the brand/band name James Hetfield has said that here and there
I was at both shows of S&M 2. Being there to witness James sing this solo with just the symphony was unreal! I also went to the S&M2 movie in October. It sounded amazing! I can't wait until it's released on blu-ray and the album dropping in February.
Great song this is. So was Unforgiven II. But 'Unforgiven' is the closest to my heart. The first and the very best. The strongest Metallica song in my opinion. What a legacy it has created. No wonder even to this day Metallica have carried it on and have made 3 parts. They respect it as much v all Metallica fans do. \m/
Doesn't surprise me that Rick Rubin tried knocking the song off of the album and I can completely understand why James got defensive. It's so important. Especially to Hetfield.
Well many may think that they suck now but I've always idolized them, guitar playing and music writing, since I became a metalhead I'll always have there songs played before anything else
I love how you can speak on behalf of so many individuals, whose motive, for whatever opinions they may have, you know absolutely nothing about. Must be an amazing gift!
The diddley James plays @1:29 - dies that exist anywhere? This has been in my head since the first time I heard it, which was 14 years ago and I love it so much. Never really see James solo, but when ya do, Lord have mercy.
Going to see Metallica live in Dublin on August 1st,cant wait its been my dream to see these guys for many year's and it's good to see with the new album that they can still create kick ass music.
Just goes to show that even the most amazing songs start from scratch. They're so amazing, still got it after so many years and they're fantastic live, they're so entertaining, they ALL still have plenty of soul, if they didn't they would'nt still be doing this and playing for millions of people every year!
I totally aggree with you! I can't wait to hear this live and hopefully they'll make it a single; they could do one hell of a great video with this song! :D
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song! I can't imagine it not being on the album! I love ALL of the Unforgiven songs, in my book they all are very meaningful & enjoyable to listen to repeatedly. (and I do too!) I dunno WHY they haven't released this as a single yet, but I sure hope they DO VERY SOON! It would be a mistake not to make it a single, especially since the other 2 already are.... ;0)
@@Br00tz966 it’s easily one of the most iconic solos in rock history. The fact the whole process was caught in film makes it even better. Easily one of my favorite solos of all time
He is the producer for Death Magnetic - look for his Wiki - it lists the LP and another as Metallica's "10th untitiled album" - which is VERY encouraging.
idk if i can pick a favorite metallica song, i love bleeding me, but this one ranks near the top. i fucking love how strongly james defends it. you can tell, like all his lyrics, he really poured himself into this one.
one of my fav tallica dvd is the LIVE SHIT BINGE&PURGE-try this- or with the symphonics-will take you in other dimension(if you could understand,or get the vibe with symphonics)
He was actually producing records for 4 other bands at the same time, so he was only there during the "chopping block" portion of the setlist for release.
This explains why you can hear the instrumental track in the background of the vocal track, ripped from Guitar Hero: Jayms doesn't use headphones while recording his vocals but uses the studio monitors instead. So the mike picks up the sound of the monitors too. Maybe Jaymz does this to immerse himself in the music?
I think Lars is a big reason why at least half of the songs they've written since Kill 'Em All have ended up the way they did on the albums. He may not be the best drummer but he seems to definitely be good at the musical arrangements and taking what has been written and putting a great song together out of it all.
He is the greatest drummer
Your face isn’t the best drummer.
I'm not a fan of his production choices in the past but his musical arrangement gives me the chills man. He's so talented, yet underrated.
He is the best Drummer at what he does. Comparing musicians by "good" or "bad" is idiotic.
@@deathintheair8453Not the greatest but not the most awful one either!
have to admire Lars direction and foresight towards song structuring and his work ethic towards making something small into a Metallica song. I admit i was one of those guys who shat on him for his ego and mannerisms but now i feel i am respecting his work in metallica
then you have to see the" making of" the harwired songs, since lars and james worked a lot(more) on that album
Lars IS Metallica. He founded it and got / stole the name :p He was always and still is the drive and force.
Well articulated, man.
Yeah, I wish he could come, pick in my "riffs" folder and make me build songs around those bastards.
He just knows what it takes man. That's all there is to it. It's pure work ethic. People can shit on Lars all they want. It doesn't change the fact that he's the drummer for Metallica and they're some nobody talking shit.
Im with James, it had to be on the album
Lars may not be a crazy songwriter, but he seriously has epic arrangement visions, throughout all of Metallica's history he helped shape the complex songs. I read an interview in a Magazine I own, James confirmed this.
I love the first 2 verses of this song.
How could he know.
This new dawn's light.
Would change his life forever.
Set sail to sea.
But pulled off course.
By the light of golden treasure.
REALLY GREAT !!!!
Indeed
"How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go"
and
"How can I blame you, when it's me I can't forgive"
It is. Love the whole song. And when James sang it bare on S&M2… ugh what emotions.
Hetfield is the master at that. He truly has a way with words
I love how these guys work. They just sit in a room together and feed off each others energy while constantly brainstorming ideas. Lars especially, when he's in the zone he looks like a mad scientist trying to discover some new law of physics. Lol. James adds some balance by making sense of all the madness, Kirk just watches then goes home and comes back with something, and Rob I think just pretty much shows up and does what he is told. So awesome to watch, could watch them for hours.
Rob goes, chills, plays a little with the guitars or bass and boom musical explosion.
I like how James always comes up with a wha-na-na melody before sticking in lyrics. That's the bestest way to write.
MrParkerman6 People usually come up with the melody before the lyrics
just realized that part sounds like 'creep' by STP
Is no one going to mention how awesome that intro part is? There is something really cool about that clean riff.
True, valid
This is such an underrated song. Easily the best of the trilogy IMO.
No way you’re nuts!
Yeah I think it's the best of the three.
@@thedadyouneverhadchannel3544 no your nuts
Best solo out is the thee.
Unforgiven first forever. But i also love the other two
That intro is so emotional, it deserves it's place somewhere !
are you kidding me? the unforgiven 3 solo is so ...EXPLOSIVE!!! its unbelievable
Of all the unforgiven trilogy, Unforgiven III is the best I think. James: You are a great songwriter. You put a hell of emotion to every song you touch. We are so lucky to be witnessing history by living in the same era with you. Please never give up writing songs. Thank you for being part of our lives. Respect!
thumbs up if METALLICA has changed your life
My life was changed thanks to my two doughters wife and work , sadly
4:54 metallica's new drummer
u know James was a drummer. Also i think he was better drummer than Lars xd he can beat Lars on this drum battle: th-cam.com/video/_fq0DncxKiw/w-d-xo.html
he's the co founder and he has had a part in writting almost ever song.
he's more than the drummer, he's the backbone of metallica
he is the sole founder James said he just wanted to be in a band and saw the opportunity with Lars so Lars owns the brand/band name James Hetfield has said that here and there
Lars and James are the best duo in music ever... No question. Work ethic and pure talent...
I was at both shows of S&M 2. Being there to witness James sing this solo with just the symphony was unreal! I also went to the S&M2 movie in October. It sounded amazing! I can't wait until it's released on blu-ray and the album dropping in February.
How can i Blame you?!
When it's me i Can't Forgive
I don't why some people don't see how deep this song is
Their best song since the "use your illusion" Album. Now I only wish that Max Cavalera returns to this band.
umm how is this suppose to be doing anything with MetallicA xD
sarcasm 100
HELL NO. max needs to stay in sepultura
I absolutely loved Kirk Hammett's singing and Lars' bass in November Rain
@@VacantSpirit r/whoosh
Death magnetic is a top 3 metallica album. imagine if they produced all the rest of their albums with rick.
Great song this is. So was Unforgiven II. But 'Unforgiven' is the closest to my heart. The first and the very best. The strongest Metallica song in my opinion. What a legacy it has created.

I agree with James, it's my favorite song on the album.
great solo from kirk, he really broke through sum new ground for him on this lp
Well many may think that they suck now but I've always idolized them, guitar playing and music writing, since I became a metalhead I'll always have there songs played before anything else
lol Lars is trying to explain his thought and express his deep feelings on the matter, and James just starts playing over him
I love how you can speak on behalf of so many individuals, whose motive, for whatever opinions they may have, you know absolutely nothing about. Must be an amazing gift!
This is a great song glad James fought it for this song to be on the album.
I can’t believe this album was a comeback to Metallica’s thrash 80s sound
The diddley James plays @1:29 - dies that exist anywhere? This has been in my head since the first time I heard it, which was 14 years ago and I love it so much. Never really see James solo, but when ya do, Lord have mercy.
I definitely think this is one of their best songs ever. And it's DEFINITELY one of Kirk's best solos.
Awesome to see how my favorite song in the album came about and how they had discussions whether to even put ii in the album. METALLICA FOREVER!!!
What a great song, you can't not like this song, subtle and powerful, great stuff
PLEASE METALLICA! UNFORGIVEN 4! THE STORY MUST GO ON!
I am with you bro ... Unforgiven III is my favorite song of them even though I am an old fan ... how I wished they included it in the new album
Actually, if they were to do an Unforgiven IV, it would be on the next album, since they've been doing, them every other album since the first one.
@@maxotto9877 IV Maybe I can't forgive God or forgiving everyone
@@maxotto9877 Here comes revenge!!!
Max Otto what if, rather than the Unforgiven, what if it’s about Forgiving?
Nice vid, one of my favorites from the album

the way the solo comes in this song just rocks
i'd like to hear Un4given on the next album
anyone agree?
Arise no
UnforgIVen
UnforgivEND
They just understand music at a level no other band these days could even imagine. That is why they are the best metal band and always be the best!
Qué flipante verles haciendo su magia en el estudio, para producir esta gran canción,The Unforgiven III, que nos a hecho felices a millones de fans.
i wish it showed james doing
the 'FORGIIIVE MEEE!!!' bit for the frst time. because that is stunning vocals. awesome
THANK YOU JAMES FOR THE BEST SONG EVER
These guys were all off their face, good job making such a great song half cut haha
Pure and simple beauty. My favorite on Death Magnetic.
I totally aggree with you! I can't wait to hear this live and hopefully they'll make it a single; they could do one hell of a great video with this song! :D
JAMES HETFIELD THANK U so much, i love all Unforgiven. TY for the determination to keep making version of it. I hope u make 4..
i love all the unforgivens i think all them are great =D
this song is so addicted.
2:36 great lyrics =)
thumbs up if metallica are you life !
Lmao lars with a beard and messy hair makes look even more of a maniac
Andrew looks like he's the brain child of un3 why he's telling what to do
Or probably he he didn’t shower
i would look like that too if i was trying to record perfect drum tracks
The manic genius.
Thanks for this. Really. Thanks a lot.
idk why sum people hate on lars the guy is a master at directing the band and knows exactly what needs to be done.
holy crap...im only 2 min into da vid n all i hear is true beauty in the form of majestic music...
METALLICA FOREVER! \m/

MetallicA!!! You are the best!!!!!!!
Amazing..
AMAZING song
Who else sang along when James was singing "lad dah had dah duh"
i love listening to kirk's could-have-been solos
Killa Klan 😂
I wonder if Bob Rock over heard the solo, called Kirk, and pushed him to make a better solo
10 years later and the unforgiven 1 solo STILL fucking rocks. Definitely my favorite for the solo alone.

Favorite metallica song of the century, best kirk solo since the black album
UNFORGIVEN !!!!
Bellissima come
Jamezzzzzzzz ♡
they're so nice to each other now!
they're too old to be angry :D
but age doesn't take away from how godly they are :D
Awesome
The Unforgiven 4 that's what REAL METALLICA FAN NEEDS
Imagine what that would sound like. 🤘🎸🥁🎙🎹🎛🎚
great song man. .!!!!!

I am in pain when I see you grow old guys ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️😭😭😭
well they take it easy it shows that in these videos ... and then there are the concerts that are absolutely amazing :D for them and for the fans
9:06 I agree James!
COOOOL
Considering the last 12 months, I'd say a 4th and maybe final Unforgiven song is almost certain to be on the next album.
very nice
Defo the first one on the Black album. I like 3 as well, great lyrics.
maaaaan..... that's a really huge studio!!!!
Man i wish more of that crazy kirk stuff made it onto the album!
and they always will be godly :D
the best of the unforgivens and the best thing of all METALLICA
Haha @ 8:14 "self-conscious...don't know how to end words."
The chorus is on of the best singing parts ever sung!
And he sings immediately one of the best chorus ever

Best Unforgiven !!!!
