metallica reaction
the unforgiven 3
metal
hip hop head - เพลง
1- I can't forgive them
2- I can't forgive you
3- I can't forgive myself
Wow. I never really thought about it, but this perfectly encapsulates the trilogy. I think it’s James coming to terms with his parents, the outside world and himself.
It’s reminiscent of Tool and Maynard’s journey as he dealt with the grief, anger and acceptance of his mom’s condition from Jimmy on Aenima to Judith on Mer de Noms to Wings for Marie on 10,000 days.
Unforgiven.
Unforgiven 2: Unforgiven You
Unforgiven 3: Unforgiven Me
I looked at it the same but in the last it was the realization that it was him all along and nobody else.
@@DarkHorror45 So I take this key and bury it in me cuz im unforgiven three
Unforgiven II is more like “you can forgive them”.
The day that never comes please!!
YES!
Must be!
Thats a must!
Dark Lord Bowza yeessssss!!!!
I agree its their best song since one which is a long time ago.
Alex, you need to do "Blackened" by Metallica. Your soul needs it. I can sense it is time.
Color the world
Up
but from seattle 89 will be better I think
Ivan Ereiz Seattle ‘89 is fucking amazing, but to truly understand it, he needs to hear the album version at least 10-20 times first.
Alex Hefner, you should do another mini series. Blacked album version, Blackend Seattle ‘89 concert version. Peace.
I agree with you,but I was thinking about how he would react to all crazy shit on stage haha,peace my friend!
To me i see the trilogy as this, these are basically autobiographies of James life:
Part 1: James childhood being raised christian scientist, and the isolation he felt from that, and the rules of the religion forced him to watch his mother whither away, but not before his father leaving them. He quickly learned the rules of this fucked up world, fucked up people, fucked up religion and dubbed them all unforgiven, and learns to shut out the world, close off his feelings from everyone so he doesnt get hurt more
Part 2: later in life, succes has come to him, his pocket book has grown, their band has grown, his ego has grown, their on tour all the time, reaping the benefits of being rockstars, partying, booze, women, strip clubs. Yet in the back of his mind he wonders if his woman back home will still be there for him when he comes back. Is she “unforgivable” like the rest of the world? Deep down he knows he’s fucking up but to mask it he points the finger in the other direction, are you unforgiven too? Are you so perfect? Are you going to leave me like everyone else? Still he has trouble opening up, feeling his feelings and showing them even to those closest to him. But he wants too
Part3: now in his middle age life, new sobriety has allowed him to see clearly and reflect on his life. He set out with good intentions but success and fame drew him off course, so instead of chasing his dream he was chasing money, fame, feeding his false ego. Like a “moth into the flame” with the realization of all this its hard to forgive yourself let alone blame someone else for their mistakes when you’ve made worse ones. Finally hes able to more freely express his emotions to those closest to him, though its not easy.
Just my 2cents!
Definitely an underrated masterpiece... Such a crisp and clean melody.
James' vocal performance on this album was one of his greatest indeed.
Roberto Nome Why the hell do they say it's a bad performance?
Branislav Celic because the mixing on the album was poor. If it had good mixing it would be the bands fourth best album. Behind numero dos tres cuatro. You have to admit people like older albums because of nostalgia
I enjoyed every song on this album and have been defending it to Metallica fans for years
What album is this
@@davidutz_2253 Death Magnetic
Metallica - No leaf clover S&M pleaseee !! 😭
I'm cranking that right now
I love when he yells I'm Constipated!!!!! And I'm Constipated!! lol I know what he's really saying but I've always laughed.
@@Freedum_Fries hahaha me too
Minus human😍
MetaRose Yes do It Alex
Boi, it's time for you to react to Blackened- Metallica
Definitely No Leaf Clover - Metallica !
1000%
I wish there was a studio version 😵
Everybody like this comment so Alex can see it!!!!!!!!
I was literally just about to request this!
I'm torn, because I want him to react to No Leaf Clover, but there are *far better* songs from the S&M concert.
This song deserves way more respect then it gets
100% agree!!So many others of theirs too >:(
This entire album deserves more respect. Why so many dump on it now is a mystery to me. Fantastic album, particularly after the debacle that was St. Anger.
@@iestyndavies7287 the production is not great
Agreed
So by that argument do you think Among the Living by Anthrax is a bad album just because of the poor production? I agree the production on DM is ropey but the songs are solid!
The first listen:Okayy
Second listen: One of the best songs with such a soft chorus.
Kirk just nailed it on his solo part.
Exactly what is in my mind 😂
me the first time : cool piano
me the second time : HOW CAN I BE LOOOOST
This is easily Metallica's most underrated song. Kirk's solo is so fucking amazing, the lyrics are great, the whole song is fantastic. One of my top 3 favorite Metallica songs, hands down
mine will always be the original unforgiven, but this one really reinvigorated them after the disaster that is st anger.
Metallica - Blackened DO IT NOOOOW ALEX
*Blackened
Unforgiven III is so underrated
Even by the band itself ... the only member that wanted it for DM was James
Have you noticed the theme?
Unforgiven I - I can't forgive the world
Unforgiven II - I can't forgive you
Unforgiven III- I can't forgive myself
unforgiven IV (hopefully called unforgIVen) - cant be forgiven?
Daniel Cook - the un4gIVen
Maybe 4 is ForgIVen?
@@1m3agle or just 4given
Unforgiven lll is definitely my favorite of the trilogy. It’s the only one that gives me goosebumps whenever I play it
Absolutely agree, the lyrics are stronger here than on the first two. That probably comes down to a much deeper and richer reflection from age and experience. Never understood how people say James lyrics was better on the old albums, that was a young mans mentality, this is far deeper than anything you will get on those first couple of albums.
Metallica - Blackened
Nice profile photo 😏
You have to check out Metallica - Damage Inc. Trust me, you won't be disappointed !
damage inc solo its just orgasm !
@@metalmania4967 the whole song is an eargasm for me
@@hoesmaditdobelikethat2166 yeah buddy
Probs my fav Metallica song
disposable heroes is also beast !
One of my favourite solos from Metallica ever. React to Sanitarium, The Day That Never Comes or Halo On Fire.
I agree. This part is better lyrically and has one of the best Metallica solos. Very underappreciated.
@@Slashhead1 nothing tops Unforgiven 1 when it comes to lyrics and solo
@@jeremy9951 I think 3 has better lyrics and it's my personal preference because I'm a mariner.
But both parts have amazing solos
And yet, 2 is my favorite song put of the 3 😂
I like the lyrics from 2 better but 3 has the best solo of the trilogy
Never see
Never Beeeeee
Cuz you're Unforgiven Threeeeee
Waiting for Unforgiven 4
Cuz you're Unforgiven 5.
Un4given
@@interceptor-sc [citation needed]
From all I've heard it's written because of a pair of fans with a sad story. Their young daughter was a fan until a drunk driver turned her from an is to a was. Instead of getting bitter and wanting revenge, the parents "reconnected with their daughter" by getting into her type of music.
Source: James Hetfield in a chat with Marky Ramone on Virgin Radio.
So... No. Not Unfirgiven 4. Anything but unforgiven 4.
Not that there is anywhere to go with the chain of unforgiven. World, some other single person, internalized. Nowhere to go deeper. Unforgiven ends at 3.
@@LongandWeirdName the song made for her was Here Comes Revenge
Let's wait to the moment he discovers that Metallica made a full album and concert with a Symphonic orchestra. Alex, you must take a hear to it. Every song worths it, but I'd with Master of Puppets with orchestra ;).
That or the call of Ktulu.
Really anything from S&M tho Haha
Battery is easily the best song from that concert,along with the call of ktulu and probably puppets
Wait till he discovers that there is a second S&M album planned for this year
For whom the bell tolls
Believe it or not, this is my first time listening to "The Unforgiven III." It is actually now my favorite of the 3.
Unpopular opinion, this is my favorite metallica track
The guitar and vocal melodies are just perfect.
The dynamics from verse to chorus and then that massive buildup.
Amazing even poetic style lyrics.
It’s just got the whole package
definitely agree my man
Kirk is arguably the most trolled guitar player ever i know. But this, this is one of my fav solos of his. All the pent up emotion is released. Its truly incredible!
This song just reminds me of my parents' divorce. In the perspective of my dad, who had an affair on my mom and how he almost committed suicide due to the family break up and how he could not forgive himself. This song is powerful.
I fucking love this song. There a couple of absolute banger's on this album.
One of the most deep and personal lyrics by James... so underrated. James is talkgin about his demons and fears. This song brings shivers to me...
Very deep.
Very intense.
Very thought-provoking.
"How can I
blame you?
When it's ME
I can't forgive?"
That hit me right in my heart.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
I know that pain all too well, if I'm being honest.
Good reaction as always, Alex.
Thank you.
Don't let anyone throw shade at YOU, bruh.
Peace.✌
I've always regarded this solo as one of the most face melting solos ever. Alex was feeling it much as i did the first time 🤘
My favorite unforgiven. You should react to songs from this album, death magnetic. All nightmare long is prob the best song off the album ...so is the day that never comes
Agreed 100%
Death Magnetic is my fav Metallica album, screw what everyone says about the sound man honestly. Day that never comes is one of if not their best ballad. All nightmare long is like trash/badassness overload. Judas kiss' main riff is one of their best. Unforgiven III is arguably kirk's best solo. That was just your life has the best opening to any song ever. Suicide and redemption is right after orion and to live is to die their best instrumental (but they're pretty daln close) my apocalpyse while my least fav of the album is still good and won them a grammy. Cyanide has an amazing bass line, the end of the line has badass drums and so does broken beat scared. The album is just their masterpiece 🤘
Love All Nightmare Long. "Hunt you down without mercy!"
@@d00mnoodle The reason people hate the sound is because it was a product of the "Loudness War". Everything is literally turned up passed 11 and there's no dynamics whatsoever. I agree that it's a great album, but that "wall" of noise is what some/most people can't stand.
Agreed. All Nightmare Long, and try to pay attention to the video. I know it can be a lot to drink in on the first go, but the song and video really complete each other.
A very underrated song. Such a deep song, lyrics are absolute gold. Also, probably the most underrated solo in Metallica history.
My big, grown ass actually got teary eyed watching you react to this amazing song. You're the best Alex, Me and my Daughter love watching your reactions I need to take a video recording and send it to you to show how excited she gets when she hears your music intro. lol its pure gold. she even waves at you on the screen. shes only 16 months old.
Metallica - Hit The Lights
You're going to love the S&M2 version. It was only James and the symphony singing.
One of the most underrated Metallica songs
Moth into flame by metallica my friend. You wont regret it
Couldn't agree more
Nah,
*HERE COMES REVENGE*
Zach Gilbert great song also but I feel moth into flame is a better developed song overall
Or Atlas Rise?
@@zachgilbert3815 JUST FOR YOU.
Tremonti: radical change or bringer of war
Alter bridge: cry of Achilles or fortress
Rock on man 🤘🏼🤘🏼
He needs lots more alter bridge in his life
These guys know whats up, bucket list for Metallica is Blackened, then The Day That Never Comes.
Please Alex, you owe it to yourself
And Disposable heroes, and Whiplash, and Call of ktulu, and...
@ and justice for all, motorbreath, the thing that should not be.. the list goes on and on my friend
I love that you did all three, fine work!!! Out of the three, this one is my favorite both musically and lyrically. Everyone has their favorites, but for me this one takes it.
I was waiting all day for this!
Metallica - No Leaf Clover
S&M rocks :)
Death Magnetic seems to have been forgotten about somehow. They only recently played Cyanide again live, but the rest of the album seems to have been forgotten about. I love the album. Such a great album and this is my favourite of the Unforgivens.
Laugh all you want, but this is one of my favorite songs of all time. Reminds me of my grandpa who drowned after falling off his boat at sea...
The metaphors of the song seem almost fitting..
The four horsemen from their first album is a masterpiece that gets overlooked.
You need to do some stuff from the Metallica S&M concert.
Knowing how much he loves aggression and energy and just fast heavy riffage, how has he not reacted to blackened or disposable heroes?
I honestly don't know. I asked him to react to Blackened about 1000 times last summer (when I found his channel), nothing has happened yet. lol
Thank you for using the term percussion, I'm a percussionist and i highly appreciate the fact that you know that word
Famous last words - The show must go on
Alex, Metallica with symphonic orchestra!!!! ♥ M & S ♥
Avantasia - The Scarecrow live version from Wacken 2012 please!
Good stuff Alex, I like that you pick lesser known songs. Plus your energy is infectious, thanks for all the great content
BRO!!!! So glad you did all 3 back to back!
Metallica- Blackened (you aren’t a man until u hear it) 😂
NO LEAF CLOVER!
....pretty please!
Such an underrated song, lyrics are simply amazing, wouldn’t expect less from metallica
Men, after watching a few of your reaction video, your expressions, your feeling towards the songs...i think you can't call yourself a hip-hop head anymore...you're a metal head mate, welcome to the family \m/
Gojira - The Gift Of Guilt (Live at Brixton Academy, London)
Man, some Metallica songs put me in a mood I can't describe with words.
It's got a lot to do with James's songwriting. He's not a lyricist, he's a fuckin poet
Dude I love your channel. You're very open to listen and actually 'LISTEN" TO new genres of music and give ur honest opinion. Praying you'll hit 1m subs very soon ;)
Thanks brother man for your point of view... Heard this song back in the day never thought that about it in that way... Thank you for ur awesome insights my man! 😉😊
"Flash of the blade" is an EPIC song by iron maiden
And then A7X's cover for a true sense to how good Iron Maiden is
Lamb of God - Blacken the cursed sun
That piano intro of Unforgiven III always, always, ALWAYS gets me misty eyed whenever I listen to this song....every single time...
Omg dude the reaction when you opened that door 😂, i watched it like 10 times man!🤘
Metallica Now that We're Dead please
Epica - consign to oblivion live at the zenith
The day that never comes music video and st. Anger by metallica bro. You made my day today playing this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love your metallica reactions coz you've haven't heard of the songs and seeing you love them. Love it
React to the whole Master of Puppets album
well, two years later, you got your wish
Any song by Apocalyptica doing Metallica is a must at this point, u need to do this bro!!!
Love that bonus lightning reaction, brah!
Bro you need to hear the live version of this from S&M². It's just the orchestra playing and James singing and it's so beautiful it took my breath away.
Metallica Army, back me up on this: METALLICA MONDAY \m/
React to Epica - epica consign to oblivion live zenith
I had almost the same reaction to that transition from James's voice to Kirk's guitar solo..just perfection
“How can I blame you, when it’s me I can’t forgive” fucking mic drop and walk away after that line! I felt it in my damn SOUL!
I Prevail released new song, Bow Down.
3 is the best one IMO. This album was completely on fire...They definitley recaptured what Metallica is in that album!
MY FAVOURITE SONG FROM METALLICA. NICE ALEX LOVE U
alex on point! i love that song,,metallica my all time favorite band forever,...
The Black dahlia murder.. nightbringers.. or receipt.. the unforgiven lll, for shure my favorite of the 3
Nightbringers would ruin other metal for him.
Alex aint ready for TBDM.
.sadly, cuz they're my favorite band...ughhh
@@puredisgust haha.. like them a Lot also
@@musicalthings bro, are u a blast fiend?
@@puredisgust .. till now not considered by anyone as a blast fiend.. weird question tho.. wtf..
That was super dope. Granted the lyrics displayed on the video were off in some areas, but that doesn't deflect from how AWESOME the song was, or how DEEP and introspective the lyrics themselves are.
Once again, Alex delivers a great, DOPE ASS, reaction to an incredible song. Just watching him react, with all the facial tics and eyeball pops, with all the WOOHOOs and his improved headbanging, he is by far one of the best reactors out there on this social medium.
They should create an Anonymous group for Hefnerds who are Addicted to this awesomeness.
"Hello. I'm Dave."
"Hi Dave."
"I'm a Hefnerd, and I am addicted to watching Alex Hefner's reaction videos on TH-cam."
Great Job!
If you could be as so kind, please check out "Yuve Yuve Yu" by The HU. I discovered this song in the Recommended For You columns, and I was blown away. I believe you would be as well. It's Mongolian Folk-Metal (Epic by itself.) and they use traditional instruments and include throat-singing. The song is unbelievably catchy and makes you feel like everything is DOPE.
Thank you.
I remember my first time hearing this song....and then that solo started...it was one of those metal moments that leaves you catatonic for a moment
that lead part😍😍😍😍. everytime I hear it I feel energized
React to Metallica - All Nightmare Long please
That video is fuckin terrifying
Michael Warren That video is tunguska event and its possible effects
@@Mkll190 that's good to know, its still terrifying
Michael Warren you’re right but its the most underrated metallica song ever
Umut Arda the thing is, the video is completely detached from what the song’s about. It’s about the H.P Lovecraft story of The Hounds of Tindalos which are wolves that hunt through their nightmares. The only way to get away from them is to “stay with angels.” You can’t even escape through sleep.
Epica - consign to oblivion live (zenith please)
I haven't listened to this song in a couple years...man I missed this one. What a great track.
"The day that never comes" You will love it!
You must listen to the Metallica album S&M❗its a must and will blow your mind.
Pantera - Floods
Joan Arredondo I’ve been telling him for awhile now to do Floods
Me and my dad love metal and metallica and he just questioned why the unforgiven III is my fav song by them (and for the longest time it was my fav song of all time). Now I can show him that this is also a great song by them, so thanks Alex!!!! P.S ur also like my fav youtuber!!!
Welcome to the metal family Alex. You will never be alone ever again. ☺️
PLEASE LISTEN TO ALL NIGHTMARE LONG METALLICA
Metallica- The thing that should not be
I commented the same. Never seen anyone react to it and it is such a great song.
@@1979genius it's such a great song! I really hope he does this one.
Alex man you gotta go see them. Seen them in Nashville twice St. Louis once and seeing them again in Louisville next Saturday.
The guitar solo of this song is precious
Epica consign to oblivion live AT THE ZENITH
Please do Blackened or Dyers Eve ( or both ) ;)
The Day That Never Comes!
Love the face after you read the misspelling of “afraid” 😂 looked just like my face when I read it.
