Metallica & San Francisco Symphony: The Unforgiven (Ben Zimmermann Version)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- I heard you all. The Unforgiven was requested a lot of times. So here it is! Though I think it's nice I understand why they not choose to play it. Other songs benefit a lot more from the orchestra than this song. Regardless I hope you like it! Leave a comment and subscribe if you're new.
Original Song by Metallica
I don't own any rights to the song.

*Local man get's hired for S&M3*
I can only dream haha!
Every man is a local man somewhere. 🤷♂️
Man, I deeply wish Metallica makes a S&M3 and they chose you to direct the orchesta.
Haha I can only dream!
@@BenZimmermannMusic well, you clearly have the talent and the right ideas. The arrangements you did for this one and for Fade to Black are on the same level of what the SFS did, and maybe even better at times. We were all hoping for these songs to be played and you did an amazing job with them. Greetings from Argentina!

@@420Impeller I like the way you think good sir.
@@kidnamedalaska Thanks. Tried to get every album in there without making it a crazy long setlist.
"Harvester of Sorrow" would be awesome to hear with the orchestra. Metallica considered playing it on the first S&M
I agree
Same with Fade To Black I wish they would’ve gone with it
Apparently they tried The Unforgiven on the first one according to Lars and couldn’t get it to work 🤷♀️
I'm still having chills from that transition from the orchestral intro into the acoustic guitar
Man the intro is killer when it segways into the acoustic guitar
Honestly can’t believe they didn’t play this. I feeel like they really missed an amazing opportunity to give the S&M treatment to classic songs. You’ve done that here.
They missed a huge opportunity to make SM2 amazing. It was basically a repeat of SM1
THIS SHOULD BE ON SPOTIFY
Yes please
I just heard Fade to Black and now I find this song beauty, and only with the intro I had already been excited, But with the rest of the song, I felt in heaven,
Thank you! Really apreciate it!
A man by the name of Ben Zimmerman decided to make an S&M3 setlist........It was nothing but awesome.
This man is a genius, he put the sound of Metallica of them concert in London of the last year and made a good accompaniment with the Symphony. Nice
I have now listened to all three of your masterpieces and they're amazing! Would love to see "My Friend Of Mysery" getting an S&M treatment in the future
Absolutely yes pls
YES!
That intro...... goosebumps 👏
Man, you did it again! You should make sheet music for these arrangements!
That would be a lot of work haha
@@BenZimmermannMusic true. Lol!
This got the feeling of the first S&M down SO well!
Actually like this orchester more then anything they did on the new songs from S&M 2.
Further proof that not all heroes wear capes. This is astonishing!
I wish they really had done this song there. It’s my absolute favorite song in the world
Ive been waiting for it 20 years
Your work is the 2nd best thing after the original compositions made by symphony and Metallica. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much! Means a lot to me!
Thank you! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for for so long!
Still holding out hope to one day hear Orion!! This is still fantastic, arguably better than Fade To Black!
Edit: Any Chance of Unforgiven II so we have the full trilogy?
Thank you so much! There will definetly be another S&M video in the future :D
@@BenZimmermannMusic Kill Em All Symphonic. LOL
Bro, you really blow my mind, let's make it viral so Metallica can see it, you really make a master peace
New blood joins this Earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on, he's known
Ooh, a vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
Oh, oh, oh
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
We need fixxxer!!! Amazing job btw.
MY GOD MAN THIS IS INCREDIBLE
Holy smokes you are one talented person.
Thank you haha!
One of my favorite Metallica songs. Very well done!!!
These have been amazing! As for contemporary Metallica I’d love to hear what you could do with Dream no More. That’s the one from hardwired I was really hoping they’d do. No matter what these are excellent, thanks for making them!
Thank you! I will think about it :)
I disappear! They played it best in 2013. BUT the added melodical intro they did back in 2004 was HUGE and lends it well to an orchestral arrangement. Check it out!
Never thought about I disappear, but yeah. That could actually work!
So beatiful song you made ..& i'm Crying a lot ,😭,
Dude, that was amazing! Really great work! I need to get an mp3 of this!
this is beautiful!!! absolutely pure love!!!
This gave us goosebumps.
Creeping Death, Welcome Home Sanitarium, Seek And Destroy, Blackened or Low Mans Lyrics would be great! Man, this is awesome...
CREEPING! DEATH! th-cam.com/video/PsW6HFnk4VA/w-d-xo.html
Metallica the best heavy metal rock band ever seen listed to it now
Mama said!!!
We need it
My favorite Metallica song in the style of my favorite Metallica album? You've earned yourself a new sub!
I think it sounds incredible, and on the contrary, i think it benefits just as much, if not more, from the orchestral addition than other songs. It sounds beautiful, thank youu
Thank you!
Love this! Amazing work!
This is the third video I see after Fade To Black (should have made it to S&M 2) and Orion, you already earned my subscription!
Man if you could do a makeover of disposable heroes the acoustic rendition that would be simply the best 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Also you absolutely ruled this.
Kudos to you man
That's actually a great idea. Now I must decide which version I will do haha :D
@@BenZimmermannMusic the helping hands performance was a perfect choice to put a orchestra!!
Yay, Kirk finally got his very own single cover art, this is awesome, I got a chance to check other things out, it's epic
He is the cover for Nothing Else Matters! :)
@@BenZimmermannMusic looking back at it, I now see him, I thought that was the conductor at first
Man, oh Man!!! You are something!🤘
Man what I'd give to hear fixxxer live now only imagine how I'd feel about that on a s&m holy mother of god that would be amazing. You seriously do a amazing job with thease compositions idk what to call them but keep it the up !!!
Amazing
Just for a moment i thought this song was official of the S&M 2, bro, this is a fucking master piece.
Man, this song made me cry, my favourite song of Metallica finally with an orchestra.!
Thanks for this gift.
Somehow you made Lars own intrusive thought bits and drum fills sound pretty damn good! I know he’s sounded way better as of late because he’s started using a metronome, but god damn I really do think most of his improv stuff sounds good, as long as it’s actually in time, so thank you!
I got goosebumps dude, such a great a job...
Just found your S&M versions of Metallica’s songs. Happy to subscribe!
Man, wish they make an S&M3 in the future and choose you as director, would be amazing.
Thanks for this gift! amazing job ♥
Haha, that would be something!
Well, I'm strictly pleased. This is just the FINE PIECE. Of art. Thank you.
BTW it's pretty close from 'Hans Zimmer' to 'Ben Zimmermann' I think. Just keep working on what you are currently "in". There may be an opportunity to create another masterpiece like the Gladiator's music was before for example. :D
You have a great taste in music, hold it tight and don't let it disappear. (thanks cpt. Obvious)
Is here anyone from Metallica's music corporation in here? Hey! Pure gold is laying on the ground and just wait for you to see, that material for another S&M is already READY. Just take it!
TO LIVE IS TO DIE, ORION AND FADE TO BLACK - THOSE ARE OBLIGATORY. Even Lars should be finding it financially ok. :p
This is a frecking masterpiece man. I have fucking tears on my eyes. This is beautiful. Thank you so much for this Mr. Zimmermann.
Man your work is just perfect, please continue doing this stuff. You've earned a Huge fan.
a great idea would be to mash up the arrangements made for the scream inc concert (with orquestra) and this live version of metallica. Those arrangements were very very nice (with a very long intro too). Prolly it will be impossible without having the orquestra track but maybe scream inc could help out in that regard. Great work!
I love this and i love you for making this and also commenting that you uploaded this on my comment
Thank you!
Absolutely incredible, keep up the good work.
rarely do i comment on youtube videos, but man this is amazing... The Unforgiven is my favorite Metallica song and i was bummed that it wasn't performed with the orchestra, but the work you have done is superb !
Thank you so much!!
It's great! I subscribed you man! Cherrs!
Ben Zimmermann thats awesome but can you do Welcome Home ???
Pleaseeeee !😭
By making this as well as you did, you inadvertently invalidated your own argument. You’ve not only justified the main argument against S&M 2, but have given a solid argument for why these songs should have been done in the first place, in particularly in place of some of the repeats from the first performances. Great work,
Amazing version!!! Congratulations!!! Creeping Death, maybe? Haha
aaaaahhhh! used the el paso live version!!!!!! my hometown
Creeping Death or Harvester Of Sorrow???
Please Both!!! Kkkkk
Very Nice Work!
Creeping Death: th-cam.com/video/PsW6HFnk4VA/w-d-xo.html
Muchas Gracias por subir esto, dedicarle su tiempo, encerio man, que buen trabajo
I've listened to all of your S&M2 renditions, and they are all amazing! I got one more suggestion to make: what about Unforgiven 2? I believe it'd benefit from the orchestra, like fade to black did.
Anyhow, great work!!
thank you very much Ben. MetallicA for life.
This is amazing man, just like what you did with FTB. About to listen to Orion now! And I will also double down on the comment of TREMORA.. if there's anyone who can make To Live is To Die with the orchestra a reality, it's you. That'd be a dream come true!
wow dude thank you that was magic just like metallica!
I agree that this song benefits less from the orchestra. But this is still amazing!
Man this is crazy, awesome job. Next maybe Orion :D the re-recorded version from the "through the never" movie with your arrangements will sound brutal
👀
Orion is now uploaded!
Meu Deus do Céu garoto...
Tu é bom demais!🤡😳
This and the Fade to Black one you did are miles better than anything new they did on S&M2. These two songs would have blown the roof off if they’d done them. They sound so phenomenal
Are you taking suggestions for more songs?? I’d suggest:
Fixxxxer
Welcome Home (Sanatarium)
Unforgiven 2
My Friend of Misery
Turn the Page
Unforgiven 3 (full band) or the band come in after the second chorus.
Cyanide
Orion!!!!
To Live is to Die
Thank you! There are more songs coming! Pretty soon actually 👀
Orion is uploaded!
@@BenZimmermannMusic @Stephen Jeffrey has a good suggestion. It wouldn't be exactly S&M but if you could put the S&M2 orchestra and vocals with the instrumental studio version of The Unforgiven III, it would work very well.
Unfogiven 3 with full band will be awesomeeee
@@kevincollazo6445 Done! th-cam.com/video/DdpsANN_ICY/w-d-xo.html
Masterpiece ❤
Awesome, it's perfect 🇪🇨
Could you sync some live tracks to the Scorched Earth Orchestra? They celebrated the 20th anniversary of Master of Puppets by recording entire symphonic versions of the songs. My favorite tracks are Sanitarium, Disposable Heroes, Leper Messiah, and Orion.
That will probably sound terrible because of lars and his tempo changes haha :D I would rather do my own versions
@@BenZimmermannMusic fair enough. Can't wait to see what you come up with! BTW can you do Ride The Lightning or The Four Horsemen?
@@michaelf.bender3718 Awesome ideas!
Thank you for doing this. Really made my day better
Duuuuuuuude! These are fucking amazing. The Unforgiven, Orion, AND Fade To Black?! I see you're a man of culture as well. You pulled at my heart strings with those compositions. I just don't have words for how amazing these are. I know a lot of people are blowing you up with requests and suggestions and I'm sorry to jump on the bandwagon but here are a few I hope you'll consider doing in the future.
Creeping Death
Disposable Heroes
To Live Is To Die
My Friend Of Misery
Thorn Within
Fixxxer
Frantic
That Was Just Your Life
Spit Out The Bone
Surely, at least a few of these have already been mentioned but a guy can dream, right? 😄 If I had to narrow that down to just 2 then To Live Is To Die and Fixxxer would be at the top of my life.
Anyways. Thank you so much for making so many Metallica fans' dream come true. All three you've uploaded were beyond my expectations and blew me away. Thank you so much for making my day! Cheers from Mississippi. 🖤💪🤘
Thank you so much for the kind words! Fixxxer has always been high up on my list because that would be PERFECT for the symphony. But since we havn't got a live performance yet, I don't know how to do it because I'm 100% sure that it will sound pretty weird when it's just over the studio version :/
@@BenZimmermannMusic you're most welcomed! I'm glad to read you enjoy the song too. I've known a lot of Metallica fans over the years that don't care for it which bewilders me. And yeah, it sucks that they've never played it live but I would gladly settle for what you could do with the studio version. Who knows? Maybe it could be the catalyst to get them to finally play the damn thing live for the first time! A man can hope and dream, am I right? 😄
@@jayson3900 Everybody wants Creeping Death. That's why I made this video! It's the best I can do using samples from 1999's S&M. th-cam.com/video/PsW6HFnk4VA/w-d-xo.html
@@maxzubic do you blame them? Also, I already saw your comment on Ben's Orion video where you were poaching off his views and I've already watched your rendition.
@@jayson3900 How am I poaching off his views?
This is perfect
this is seriously beautiful
That intro! F*** yeah!
Genius!
I wonder what Frayed Ends Of Sanity would sound like with an orchestra
Me too
I would LOVE to hear Ben Zimmermann's version of "Frayed Ends of Sanity"!
@@BenZimmermannMusic do it, PLEASE
Make a version of Welcome Home (Sanitarium), please
You are awesome and please don't stop and make our alternate S&M setlist starting with first
Fixxxxer
You're the man
This is amazing
Amazing!
you made such a PERFECT job!!! you're awesome
I can see why this would have been a pain to score. I get a more Spaghetti western feel with The Unforgiven that might clash with the more rigid orchestration that we're used to with S&M. Still a great job mah man.
One more time...YOU ARE FUCKING AWESOME!!! THANKS MAN!!
Man this is beautifully done, excellent job
Thanks man!
I would like to hear now that we're dead in symphonic !!!🇨🇷🤘🏼🇨🇷🤘🏼🇨🇷🤘🏼
Hi Ben ... It's an excellent adaptation of this masterpiece, but it would be nice if you could get the arrangements for Unforgiven II, for me it would be great if you did... Thank you...
Dude this is epic keep on doing the same
Man, you are incredible!!!!
Goosebumps literally goosebumps
Thank you very much, this is awesome
Thank you!
Esto es Increíble!
This awesome!! Thank you so much, the intro was amazing! I always imagined an orchestra following the solo exactly the way you?ve done it. Did you add the orchestra by playing on topof the song live with a keyboard? I imagine the tempo must not be grid like to write the parts down and add them. Amazing work!!
Exactly. There was absolutely no chance to do a click over Lars playing haha
