    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...

    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 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.

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.

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'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.

      @@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.

    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

    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.

      @@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.

    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 was an awesome time for music. Also Pearl Jam Ten is essentially a perfect album... not a single bad song.

    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 🤘⚡

    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.
