That, dude, is one of the greatest solos in metal history.

lol???
The comment ”god dammit that wants me to play guitar” is what the entire black album caused for so many people around the world🤘🏼
Heh. Or some of us that were already Metallica fans who played guitar and were surprised at how many of the songs on that album we could learn in an hour or so compared to previous albums you had to practice the songs for a week or so to get them down. The black album does have a great sound, and it overall is a great album. It was also very good live, but many of the songs were a lot easier to learn to play. :) EDIT: Regardless it was WAY better than St. Anger. Yet that can be said about ALL of their albums.
seriously, my friend learned bass guitar because of metallica. So crazy
@@futurewavecs I'm of another opinion. Some people say Metallica went downhill from Load onwards, but I prefer to judge them per song. Sure, they're not the juggernaut they were in the beginning, but at least one song per album is genuinely great. St Anger is my favourite from the album, and Hardwired feels like a return to form, somewhat. We don't talk about Lulu.
me too bro....15-16 years later, this song and a heart-break is what made me play guitar... xD
I am 63 years old, and disabled. I can relate so much to the words of this song. I did all that was expected of me...college...I worked in an industry most consider too demanding of your time and life. And all the while my real passion in life was pushed to the back and I rarely ventured into it because of what I had to do to make a living.
Now that I have the time to pursue my passion, my physical problems make it difficult to follow what I really felt I should have been doing my whole life.
I would tell anyone who would listen, follow your passion...no matter what. It's really hard to forgive yourself in the end.
love bro
Truth.
my brother
Damn bro. Big up to you for never forgetting about your passion.
But there's no need to live with regret. Many others followed their passions and regretted that too, so you can never know.
Speculation is good for nothing, what matters is now, and you seem to be making the most out of it.
Our disabilities give us wisdom... that is the goal in the end. How we get there is not always a pleasant experience and we are entitled to regrets in life... but don't let them be consuming. Coming from someone in a very similar boat my friend. We should always be thankful... I remind myself, that there is always someone worse off than me. There is a reason for everything that happens and we are not supposed to know why. Take care :)
8:30 when he does "Never free, never me" his voice gives goosebumps every time, probably my favorite part of the song
james is a god for sure:-), not only his insane dowpicking but his vocals are always on point...
Kirk Hammett gets flamed a lot by guitarists now. And yes, he's not the most technically proficient, gets a bit redundant, and relies too much on his wah pedal to cover some of the warts in his playing. But man, you can't deny so much of his solos are still phenomenally well written. This one in particular, no other solo could do there. None. It doesn't have to be the most skillful run of scales & arpeggios to be great, it just has to hit you in the chest and few solos do that better than The Unforgiven.
Well said! Exactly the words to describe it.
This is my favorite of Kirk's stuff.
Spot on!
Problem is, all of his good material is from the 80s and 90s, which is what everybody goes back to because he hasn't brought anything new in decades.
#TRUTH
Also: Thing song is one that Hetfield wrote about his childhood and upbringing. Having his dad step out on him and his mother dying of cancer.
James Hetfield cry's every almost every time he sings it. Look for the interview of what this songs is about from his prospective it is really deep.
His childhood
no he doesn't :))) wtf? yes it means a lot to him, but he doesn't cry after the unforgiven
Cries? I've seen them live 6 times. I've see all their live vidoes, never seen him cry once. And, crying is not him. At all.
ive looked it up already and did a presentation on it and showed the song to my class and boy it hits deep
@@crashburn3292he cries before every show and he says that if he doesnt something is wrong
This song is about james, he is talking about his life and his biggest issue, forgive himself. Love your reacts 😊
And how he subdued like many other children. Not having a proper childhood, kinda forced to grow up. This one also is about his mother.
Is not about James you fucking kid.
He wrote this Song thinking about how could it be if you born locked up etc and die locked up.
Where did you get that shit. Fucking making thinhs up.
@@marcoparodi1982 from interviews you dumb fuck, your mind is so literal you probably have low IQ.
@Rudy Cota sure...keep your conspiracy theories to yourselfe
Gotta do all 3...The Unforgiven 1, 2 and 3.
David Craft 2 is my favorite
Revit UpNow “decline in musicianship” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that’s funny
@@jjschmidli8896 I agree...
o god yes he dus
@@jjschmidli8896 i like how the loser deleted his comment. 😂
Now you HAVE to...
"Unforgiven ll" and "Unforgiven lll"
Brett Jaramillo bout to say the same thing. Gotta hear the rest of the story.
Guitar solos dont have to be the most skilled, freaky, outlandish creations. This solo proves that. Its one the best solos i ever heard because it doesnt force "faster, crazier,better" just to show off skills. It does what it should.
This song got me through a lot of dark years when I was a teen. My mom has narcissistic personality disorder with strong sadistic tendencies (not my google diagnosis, that was the conclusion of a psychiatrist with over 3 decades of experience with personality disorders). The hell she put me through is something I would never wish on my worst enemy. "This whipping boy done wrong" reminded me of all the times I was punished for anything bad my brother did; even if what he did was completely outside of my control, I would be blamed. And "Through constant pained disgrace, the young boy learns their rules"...my mom had so many arbitrary, and downright bizarre rules, all just another excuse to take out her rage on me, but I learned faster than she ever expected, though perhaps not the 'rules' she intended. I learned how to hide in plain sight, I learned to not trust anyone, and most importantly I learned how to survive. It's been over 20 years since I last spoke to her. She is my 'Unforgiven' and I have no regrets about going no contact with her.
Merianya S this is awful...I had similar experiences...but not to your extent. I hope you’re ok now.
😥 ❤️
,😟😓
I had a similar thing also and haven't spoken to my mother in yrs.
Do all 3 of the Unforgiven’s.
Dave .Garrett can’t do one without the others
i like the intro of the unforgiven 3. it's so melodic
This!
Awesome idea
@@hamzaelyaagoubi4671 3 is my favorite, followed by 1.
Bro you gotta listen to unforgiven 2
It's the best one
You serious?
@@TheRoyalHavok
Yeah, in my opinion it's my favorite
3 is also spot on.
Agreed
The Unforgiven makes me cry everytime. So beautiful and so sad at same time.
Me too. But all of 3 Unforgiven makes me sad and cry because it's all relates to me in real life :')
James Hetfield is hands down the greatest frontman of all time. His vocal range is incredible. He can flawlessly go from growling and aggressive directly to soothing and beautiful. The Unforgiven is the best example of that.
James is really good, but Bobby Blitz is even better imo. Listen to Wish You Were Dead by Overkill and lmk what u think🔥
Bon Scott is pretty epic too
@@stevenbaker153Hetfeild Scott and Mercury and you have a solid 3 best frontmen
Do you know a guy who’s “fake”surname ends with the only metal that is liquid in normal room temperature?I don’t think you do.
It’s time for you to react to blackened by Metallica
Live in Seattle 1989
@@tomscholtes5082 studio version first or he wont distinguish any note that are played
I think he is ready.
agreed, he's ready
Yes. It is time.
You should react to all the "Unforgiven" songs by Metallica in a row
THIS!!!
"Definitely not one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard"
He says talking about Kirk Hammett's *legendary* Unforgiven solo...
It fits the song so well.
right? one of the greatest solos
Wtf
Kirk poured his heart and soul into that solo.
You should try Dyers Eve by Metallica, it will blow your eyeballs out of your head
or Whiplash or Shortest Straw.
yep, the other side of the spectrum
Agree, if you want to listen to a killer guitar instrumental... well Dyers Eve has one of the best imo.
Or Struggle Within, one of the most underrated Metallica songs. Kick arse.
Hell yes
Probably the best off the Black album, everyone says Sandman but this is it
I agree
Don't tread on me is
Brumatti HD growing up that was my favorite
oh... this, my friend of misery and wherever i may roam are my top 3 on that album...
Sad But True
First time I heard this MASTERPIECE in 1994... My Life Was Never The Same!! THANK YOU METALLICA FOR EVERYTHING AND FOR MAKING MY LIFE THROUGH THIS UNFAIR AND CHAOTIC PLANET MORE BEARABLE!! Thank you for the last 25 years of pationate and inspiring music!! #MetalUpYourAss #TallicaFamily 🤘🤘🤘
Has reacted to over a dozen Metallica songs.
*Still calls Lars "the drummer."*
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
well, thats what he is
@@charger23us that's like watch the first book of Avatar and still calling Aang "The Airbender".
😂😂😂😂
Metallica - Blackened
I still remember when my grandmother bought me this album, (yes, I said my grandmother) ... I still remember listening the first notes of Enter Sandman, I love all songs on this album. I know Master of Puppets is the best, a true masterpiece ... but ... holy crap!! ... I love this record for many reasons! The first because my grandmother bought it (I miss you!), the second because thanks to Metallica I met more bands, more friends who loved Metallica, watching this now reminds me my school years ... the whole album is very special to me.. THANKS BROOO!! Thumbs up!!
I can relate man, my grandpa bought me the black album and a badass stereo when i was really young and it changed my life.
The solo in Unforgiven is still, to this day, one of my favorites of all time. Ever. Not just from Metalica....but from any band. And I love how Kirk describes it. "It takes you to one place, brings you down...then lifts you back up to a higher place." So well put.
Been enjoying your Metallica reaction videos, as I'm a life-long 'tallica fan and fellow Texan. Highly recommend snagging concert tickets the next time they come through the Houston area. You won't regret it. Live shows are badass.
Q SOS
Now you just need "The Unforgiven" 2 and 3.
I also recommend ANY song with Metallica together with Apocalytica.
Cheers
If you want a Kickass-Guitar-Solo listen to Ride The Lightning! \m/
My favorite is breadfan
How about a new series: Metallica Monday?
Shouldn‘t bet too hard to find 44 Songs, worth listening to, till the end of the year.
I find this funny because Metallica themselves are doing this now... but with concerts lol
This is one of my favorite solos from Kirk by far. And he's talked about how hard he pushed to write this solo, and it shows, it's so stinking good. I groove to it so far every single time I hear it, great reaction Alex ❤️
The guitar solo is not the fastest, or most technically difficult, but if you listen to this song enough, it is absolutely one of Kirk's best guitar solos.
Actually fade to black is Kirk's best solo
@@jimb7816 That's exactly why I said it's "one of" his best solos. Fade to black definitely comes to mind as a solo that is arguably even better.
Kirk himself said that this is the solo he always wanted to create.
@@jimb7816 in my opinion is blackened
You have never reacted to a song from Metallica's debutalbum "Kill'em All"... "Seek and destroy" would be amazing
I consider that song really overrated
Great live song because of the crowd participation. Studio version could be a bit repetitive. Four Horsemen may be a better first listen from that album
@@craven1927 Four Horsemen live at Seattle was badass for me. Original still great as well.
Four horsemen maybe motorbreath just for shock value lol
Phantom lord, that solo is a face melter!!!
So glad you reacted to this. Genuinely one of my favourite songs ever. Also love the live versions where James plays 2 guitars.... quality video again bud!
“If you don’t agree that Metallica is dope: you’re wrong” 😎 you’re a riot
FINALLY!!!! NOW THE NEXT 2 IN THE TRILOGY and or And Justice For All album
REACT TO METALLICA WHIPLASH 1989 SEATTLE PLEASE!!
92 san diego
@@dinoivcevic2858 nah seattle was faster
DICKRASH!!
Pretty much anything from Binge & Purge. In my opinion that was Metallica at their absolute peak. ‘89 more so than ‘92. James voice just wasn’t the same after TBA when he blew out his voice.
@@bigmoneyjackson2385 San Diego was a better performance
Thats one of the best guitar solos ever! My favourite solo is Blackened, but this is so close in second, simply because of the emotion thats in the solo
This is the song that got me into metallica, so happy you finally reacted to it
Of wolf and man, through the never, and dont tread on me are also fom this albumn and are definitely worth the listen.
Alex man can you please do Blind Guardian-Mirror mirror live from imaginations through the looking glass?! Also Blind Guardian Valhalla live is reeeaaally epic too!!!! You'll love it!!! And when we're at it throw in Blind Guardian-The bard's song (in the forest) live as well!!!
Ive commenting this since ages
Valhalla live. That would be amazing. Been recommending this song for quite a while now.
Thanks for reacting to this! Unforgiven 1 and 2 are my favorites songs since I've been a kid!
I love watching people get excited about tunes I’ve been jamming on for years. especially METALLICA
One of Metallica's best guitar solo's though!
Alex: "I feel like you could almost put every single Metallica song into a movie, somewhere"
Alex: *Puts Nothing Else Matters over Lion King*
I dig it man!!
grew up on this song! a local radio station played "mandatory metallica" every night at 10pm,
Ive officially watched too many of your videos to not be a subscriber. I dig your stuff man, as far as these types of videos go. Thanks for making them a thing
One of my favorite songs from Metallica. The lyrics have such a big impact on me to this day 💔!
Yessssss Alex finally man, I've wondered when you'd do this song
OMG!!!!!! Thank you for reacting to this song, Alex!!!! Hope you're having a dope ass day bro.
Goosebumb Song right here.
Awesome video again man
Love this song
Please React to Alter Bridge - Words Darker than their Wings Live at the Royal Albert hall
Agree!
U been requesting that for months
Or AB - Still Remains
I appreciate that you're on this grind my friend. Came here to do the same.
Great performance from my favorite band. They usually don't get a lot of play on these reaction channels though.
Bruh you went from 0 to 254k subs in less than a year, I'm happy I can say I was here from the beginning. Keep up the good work, cheers mate
Even at 50 years old and loved Metallica when I was growing up in high school still gives me goosebumps and takes me back to the day...those were the best days for me ,long hair and Levi's
I really like this song, it brings me a lot of memories.
Thanks for the upload been waiting for this one can't wait to see you react to The Unforgiven part 2 or Within temptation
I couldn't hit the play button faster when I saw this! Thanks for reacting to this song!
This song is the reason i play guitar today, when I first heard it 6 years ago it inspired me instantly
Metallica:
- Hit The Lights
- The Four Horsemen
- To Live Is To Die
- The Call Of Ktulu
-All Nightmare Long
-Orion
Disposable Heroes
EPICA-KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!!!
I’ve played music for more than half my life. Huge Metallica fan. I never paid attention to lyrics of really anything. Watching this gave me a whole new appreciation for the song.
This band becomes a part of my highschool life until I get old. And now I'm still get hooked on this band
Dude said "definitely, not like, one of the best guitar solos if ever heard." He's obviously never heard a guitar solo, including that one.
Dyers eve by Metallica won’t be disappointed
Amazing meaning too!🤘
Lyrical and musical masterpiece
Yessss!
You are right on target... nail on the head with interpretation of song meaning, ATLEAST the way I interpreted it myself first hearing it back in the day and still to this day. Love this song then, now and forever. Artistry at its best.
I like what you do. We all need more of this.

Afterlife a7x
Been listening to them since Garage Days and ride the lightning. I was pretty young but was instantly hooked on them. Seen them about 6 times now. Last one was in Vancouver BC a few years ago....and they still got it!
Oh hey , you should do a reached to Sober by Tool ! If you havent heard them yet :)
"I feel like you could put every single Metallica song into a movie."
YES! You said exactly what I think almost every time I listen to Metallica. I sometimes play movie clips on mute and play one of their songs in the background to see if it fits.
Need to react to all three of The Unforgiven. I think the themes for each song are:
The Unforgiven - Lived
The Unforgiven II - Loved
The Unforgiven III - Lost
The lyrics from Unforgiven III are so good!
Epica - consign to oblivion live at the zenith
I think he did that one already
The solo is amazingly written and very melodic. There's a very cool video of the making of it.
You are one of my fav reactors. Keep going.
Septicflesh - Portrait of a Headless Man!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻
I actually think that Kirk's solo on this song is the most articulate, emotive solo he has done with this band. It actually is summation of the song in one solo.
I love the little comical clips u throw in lol
Love your spirit and metallic
Well, you already like Metallica.
Now ''Apocalyptica - Battery'' at Hellfest.
These guys left metallica themselves mouth wide open.
Please do a reaction to "The day that never comes" by Metallica.
This song is insanely underrated!
Everytime I watch this video I feel like it says something remarkable in the music video. I made up so many stories in my mind what this video says. I love this music video so much
firsts time i heard this song I cried like a little girl. lol seriously It is a beautiful song and i think you got it when you said that its about depriving us of who we really were meant to be and for us to follow and conform to what society wants us to be.
Epica consign to oblivion live AT THE ZENITH
React to Epica - consign to oblivion live zenith
It is so nice to hear the classic one's from the black album.
When I was 14/15 years old I always fall asleep with this kind of music, (Metallica, Guns 'n Roses and Nirvana) I still Love it❤
hey man, very glad that you like one of the best metallica songs ever written. I have never really sat down and dissected or analyzed as you've done here, any of their songs. You make a lot of great points, and I can definitely see the connection between what you're describing and the lyrics. You should react to the sequel songs, Unforgiven II and Unforgiven III
When I was younger, I liked "Nothing else matters" the best of all Metallica songs. But as I grew older, I started liking The Unforgiven much better and now I consider this my favorite song by these guys.
The remaining two Unforgivens... Well, in my opinion are OK, but nothing more than that. Not even close to this...
Judas Priest
- Victim of Changes
- Beyond the Realms of Death
- The Sentinel
