- I didn't even realise until yesterday that this song had a music video. When everyone was requesting The Unforgiven I just thought it was a song on an album that wasn't going to be as big as the others... Boy was I wrong!
The Unforgiven is definitely a prime example of how beautiful Metallica songs can be!
Here is my first time reaction to Metallica - The Unforgiven. I hope you enjoy it!

The Metallica fans are going to love you Molly....
I already wanna adopt’em! 🤭
@@GracieUnderFire😂
Maybe that won’t if he doesn’t complete Kill’em All how could you even say you’re a true Metallica fan if you’ve never even listened to the whole first album
Yes, but more Metallica definitely sealed the deal! ❤️🔥🤘〽️
@@johntheisen6791You're being a little hard on him man.... He'll get to it. I just don't think he realizes just how good that album is. He has this weird impression that the Black album is better for some reason.
I've heard this song so many times that I forget how it must feel to hear it for the first time, especially in this day and age .
Funny you said that , I was thinking the EXACT same thing before I clicked on it . At first I was like " ugh , this song ? " but I remember loving it back in the day , ive just been burnt out on it . Cool seeing/hearing it again through fresh eyes/ears .
@@Brando-Lee3725 me too, I wanted to be like, of coarse everyone picks this song just because, but you have to remember, he's never heard it yet
I've thought the same about alot of songs MollyBoy reacts to. That's why I subscribed here. Same with most of us I bet.
I got the Black Album as a present when I was 11 years old, and this was the 1st song I gravitated towards (along with NeM)... it all started from there.
@@JamesGreco-bi5tb totally ! And I like that aspect . And Mollyboy is a cool cat . I love him and his channel
Metallica - No Leaf Clover!!!
Mate, it will blow your mind.
I suggest it from S&M1 over S&M2!
S&M performance is a must watch. As well as human
I love this song ❤
Yes Please
My absolute favorite Metallica song.
According to James, this is the most personal song he has written by far. It's about his own life and personal struggles. This song is actually the first of a trilogy (it's pretty obvious if you look into their discography) the other two songs are The Unforgiven II and The Unforgiven III, from the albums Reload and Death Magnetic
I always thought Dyers Eve was the most personal, but I guess this is too.
I guess Mama Said must be pretty personal too 😁
the unforgiven II- BANGER
the unforgiven IIi- BANGER
Our teacher played the whole album when we had art class. The black album is how i got to know Metallica.🤘
I approve of your teacher! lol
I Didn't Even Like Metallica until I heard the Black Album, Then Started to go back and listen to all their hits...then Fell in Love With all of them.
Same 😊🤘🤘
I don't care what ANYONE says, the black album remains my favorite. How many albums are there where every song is amazing and you can just hit play and listen start to finish?
Black album isnt even a close 2nd to MOP, RTL, AJFA. Metallica wouldn't have made it with the early fans of THRASH METAL and they basically turned their backs on the music thatade them. That being said there are a few good songs on this album. So I don't completely hate it but it's NOTHING compared to the first 4 albums
They sold out...Every DAMN arena for almost 40years.
Ya it’s a terrific album, it’s not my favorite but it absolutely does not deserve the hate it gets
Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning.
It's a great album with amazing sound quality that still holds up to this day... But "The Struggle Within" probably could've been left off. 🤣
The versatility of METALLICA is unreal... they bring it whatever mood u are in... FAN4LIFE 🤘🏽😎
100%
Yes, and this is why I appreciate them even more!! For being pioneers and not listening to everyone saying that they'd fail. They've always said, "They'll play what they want to & record what they want to"-James Hetfield period. 🤘❤️🔥〽️
@MollyBoyTV Yo Molly lad bro, forget the haters, bro. I'm enjoying this homie. Bro, imagine if Alice in Chains lead singer lane Staley vocals was a good fit to sing Metalica's song here. Think about it. I want your opinion bro.
@@MollyBoyTV Yo that song by Metalica was amazing. It's so erringly hauntingly beautiful in a good way.
Same! Judas Priest is also like that for me.
The black album was my little brother’s favorite. This song in particular was his. He passed away and I can’t listen to it without breaking down. It’s been quite a few years now and your reaction does it justice. Thanks bro, keep up the great work. Love the channel.
Sorry to hear about your brother.
Cherish him as much as you can in your memories. 😢
Rip little brother. Rock on.
Aww man, I'm sorry for your loss 😢I hope his memories are full of love that you can cherish forever.😔♥️
Metallica is the fucking best. Idgaf what others may say. Theyre recognition and contributions, accomplishments. Unmatched.
I mean them and Priest are my two faves. Can’t put one above the other though😂
That's funny, because that's Hetfields favorite band ❤ my top 2 as well...lol😂
The more popular you get, the more hate you get. Metal gatekeeping cry babies are just mad they did something different to appeal to more people. It's funny how this is only an issue when it's Metallica
I’m a grandmother of 3, 2 of them are teenagers. I love this album!!!✌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 rock on young man!!
I'm a grandma of 2, with my 3rd on the way.
Awesome ❤️🔥🤘〽️
1991 was yesterday for me...I still remember buying this album when it first dropped at my local Malls music store waiting in line back in the day....not mentioning afterwards after the purchase on the way home there were 30 other cars blasting that same music just unwrapped with them hanging their heads out their car windows screaming our vocals to these songs all the way home just like me..I remember it like it was yesterday
those must have been great times... 2009 kid here
Yep..I waited in line. I was 26 yrs young! I grew up with metal/rock. So this album I remember the line from Hell waiting for it!! My son was 4yrs old and remembers every song because I blasted the entire album back to front over n over...made a tape too! 😆 🤣 Those were the days! 🤘❤️🔥〽️
@@Metal_Mary did your son become a metalhead? Haha
Great reaction! It's worth mentioning that this song is part of the "Unforgiven" trilogy, which includes "The Unforgiven II" and "The Unforgiven III". What makes this trilogy so special is that each song has its own unique sound and style while still being thematically related. Listening to the trilogy in order is a fantastic way to experience Metallica's musical evolution and experimentation over time.
If you enjoyed "The Unforgiven", I highly recommend exploring the entire trilogy to fully appreciate the band's artistic journey!! It's art!
So much this!!!!!
I love seeing the young ones fall in love.
8:13 Easily one of the most powerful and beautiful solos even written in rock/metal history. Pure gold and poetry in one piece. Great reaction btw.
brother i love metallica, but nothing kirk hammett has ever played is on that level lol.
Kirk definitely did his homework
This album has been in the charts for like 700 years straight, anyone who says it sucks is just a complete more on 😊
let them... why should that interest someone....'? i give a sht about the meanings from others... and i give a shit to answers to my answers... i never ever looked only one of them...
"If this song was a woman, I could kiss her right now"
Best description ever! 🤘🖤
You dont ever need an excuse to fuck with Metallica. The Black Album is fucking amazing . You do so well with requests and to see someone fall in love with music is so great. I look every day and watch tour old videos daily. Keep it up. We love you !! Im 49 so i bought this my senior year and it was life changing.
The tears come from knowing this masterpiece will end.
This song still gives me goosebumps and I’ve been listening since 1991
Nothing is wrong with it. IMO its a maturing that happened for the band in his album. I Absofrickenlutely love it. ❤
The Unforgiven, not forgiving society.
The Unforgiven II, not forgiving a partner/lover.
The Unforgiven III, not forgiving yourself.
Poetic BEAUTY
I love your emotional, thoughtful reactions. I’m the 74 grandma in California, US, that love’s Metallica! This is one of my favorites! Took my 40 year old youngest son to see them when he was 13 and had gotten his first electric guitar! He’s still making original music! James Hetfield is incredible vocalist/guitarist!!!!
I listened to this album every day for a solid year in 1992. It got me through 10 hour shifts of boring guard duty in the military.
I dont understand the haters who need to complain on your channel comments. You do you. And i highly recommended not just reviewing the whole Black album but continuing into Load and Reload. Those albums get a lot of hate but they show the band stretching into slower metal Black Sabbath style, and even some haters will admit that there are some gems on them, like Bleeding Me.
Definitely agree..👍👍
One of my favorite Kirk solos. Watching him create it on the movie a year and a half in the life of Metallica is one of my favorite f you stories. You should watch the movie man it’s incredible. It’s about making the black album. The production on this album is second to none. You can thank bob rock for that. He’s a genius. He also produced Motley Crue’s dr feel good
That’s probably my favourite part of the documentary.
That and Bob convincing James to try a “wooo-maaooww” vocal in Sandman.
Bob Rock "Fine. Do it your way. Let's hear the solo of the year" Kirk: "K"
This album was on the Billboard charts for DECADES!
After the black album is Load and that album is amazing! People shit on it just like the black album and honestly those people are just butt hurt fans. The black album and Load are amazing!! Definitely not 80’s Metallica but that’s cuz they changed their producer and he moved their career into the stratosphere!
You're so right about the black album. The cliché about them selling out is wank. It's stylistically different to its predecessors, sure, but it's a genuine masterpiece
the black album to me was there last best album, after that is when i thought man what happened to them lol its like a light switch just shut off in them since then
Metallica have been accused of selling out more than anyone else. The next two albums after this - Load and ReLoad - got those same accusations because of the drastic sound change, despite the fact that really selling out would mean putting out Black Album 2.
And “Memory Remains” is an awesome song
🔥🔥🔥🔥 my Brother across the pond,, my baby girl Adriana got married last year in October!, The unforgiven by Metallica is the song that her and I did our daddy/daughter dance to 🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼 yeah
It's all just one theme: forgiveness, or lack thereof. Each song has its own thing but looking at it closely, it's all a representation of where James was at that period, mentally speaking.
The first is angry, it's about someone else running his life, him not forgiving them. Reflects his upbringing and his anger
The second is about letting someone in, loved ones, family, etc, but still being confused and angry. Having grown but not quite being where you think you should be
The third is him post rehab. He realizes a lot of things were his fault, so he takes part of the blame too. He's matured and is where he needs to be.
Also, the solos are awesome for all 3
I couldn't explain the meaning behind this song any better. This song was the first song I heard from Metallica. I have so much in common with this song in relations to James upbringing. This was singing to my soul and why I believe it's Metallica's greatest song. Just because of it's powerful meaning and message behind it. Espeacially to these once young ears. I was 13 when I first heard this song. 1yr after it's release and it still sings to my soul 30+ years later.
You don't deserve to do another Metallica vid bro, you have that right. It's your fkng channel not ours, not theirs...they can go watch something else, but they won't cause hatters gotta hate - screw them! Nice reaction!
The black album is the best! I don't care what anyone says, it is an absolute masterpiece!
Absolutely
Like I mentioned in chat… the Black album was my introduction to Metallica. The very first song I heard on the radio was “Nothing Else Matters”. And you know how disc jockeys like to yammer. It took me three days to find out the name of the song and the band that played it. 🙄
It’s sold 34 million albums. I think it’s proved it’s worthy
@@GracieUnderFire Yep, those were good times! I was a teenager when this album came out. I'll never forget driving around in my old beater car with the aftermarket stereo blasting this album (on cassette) "dragging main" with my friends, and loving every moment of this beautiful life! The 80's and 90's were magic!
It's mature, but it seems a lot of fans didn't want to grow)
Bleeding me & Outlaw Torn are masterpieces off Load. If you can simply accept each album sounds different you will "Love em All"
Careful with this one, mate. This is some deep deep shit you’re about to dive into and there’s still Parts 2 and 3.
Let’s go.
From a production standpoint, they've never sounded better than this album. In fact, this and Dr Dre were what people tested their sound systems with back then
The black album is a masterpiece. The reason why people are mixed on it is because it was a bit of a different sound for Metallica. Also imo their first 4 albums over a 5 year period is the greatest 5 year stretch in music history. It's a bit hard to live up to that.
Some people just can't adapt to change. When this first came out, for many fans it felt the same as if Eminem turned country. But being older now and more seasoned musically, it's a solidly written, performed and produced album.
Next one is Unforgiven 2! I love your reactions, it's like me hearing them for the first time. Really great would be to see some reactions to their live concert versions too like "thing that should not be" - live in Seattle is another level. And as best as you can, could you try and ignore those who say either Black album or anything after it is not good. There are tens of millions of fans who love it all. It just so happens that a handful of trash niche lovers from the 80ies don't seem to like it.. but whatever. Metallica still keeps rocking in 2024! Metalrock Royalty.
I’ll definitely be checking out Unforgiven 2 and 3, thanks for watching 🤘🏻
Thank you! I hadn't heard this in FAR TOO LONG!! I remember when The Black Album released -- I had a TR6 red convertible and that's ALL I jamed for months!! OMG ❤🤘
….I’ve never been sure why ppl hate on black album. I love it.
Always feel nostalgic listening to this.
I love the black album!! I never get tired of listening to Metallica!!❤❤
People that dislike the Black album are mainly doing so for reasons other than how good the songs are. Amazing album.
Personally I’m not into anything they released after this album wise but this was the peak of a great run of albums. Only natural that their sound would become this, they are artists, they change and progress…
People calling the black album a "sellout" fail to realize that you CAN express the same anger & pain in a beautiful way. That is the Black album.
It doesn't always have to be balls to the walls destruction & rage to tell your story.
I got goosebumps watching this! I was 12 when this came out, and I had never heard anything like it. Brings me right back to my childhood. I finally got to see them live when I was 18. One of the best nights of my life.
The unforgiven is one of my favourite Metallica songs. The black album is fire 🔥 bro. One of the best sound production on an album. As you say you can hear how deep the equipment hits mate. Loving your journey molly. Taking my daughter to her first gig tomorrow over in Portsmouth. You keep well bro 😎
The Black Album is a masterpiece. I detest it when people cap on this record. One of their best. I don't see how anyone could say it's not heavy enough. Metallica reigns supreme for a reason. Everybody who doesn't agree can bite it. Excellent to see your reaction to this gut wrenching song.
I love that album and it was one of the first that got me interested in playing the Bass Guitar. Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman were the first riffs I taught myself. Definitely get a bit fed up with some people constantly saying bad things about it when it is a damn good Heavy Metal album
The black album is good but not a masterpiece let me guess it’s the first album that you ever listen to or you grew up on it.
@@johntheisen6791 Wasn't my first Heavy Metal album, that was Seventh Son by Iron Maiden but Black came along a bit later after I heard Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets
@@johntheisen6791 Nope. Fan since Master of Puppets. First 5 albums are all masterpieces to me. Had to go back and discover the rest. First Metallica show was Monsters of Rock w/Van Halen, Dokken and Scorpions in '88 at The Cotton Bowl. Met them on the Black Album tour in January '92 in Dallas. No opening band, 3 encores!!! They played for 3 hours. Kirk walked to the edge of stage, looks down and mouths the words- **while playing Seek and Destroy, mind you**- "How ya doing?" Next thing we know we got invited backstage and hung out with them while they signed autographs after the show. They were super cool to us. Seen them live 12 times, most recently at Cowboys Stadium in August 2023 with the resurrection of what's left of Pantera. Good times. 🤘🏼
@@loristone9242 Very cool. Sounds about like the time I got lucky and met the band Master of Puppets tour May86’ Aragon Ballroom Chicago. Armored Saint was opening we had passes for balcony watching Armored Saint. I looked to my right and Lars was sitting next to me watching also and that he walked us backstage where we met the rest of the band I got to shake Cliffs hand I was 19 years old. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
the Black album was the moment they went from thrash metal kings to rock legends and a great Canadian producer Bob Rock was able to capture them at the moment of perfection and it is still one of the best selling rock albums in history! It still sells around 1 million copies a year over 30 years after being released.
NEVER apologize for loving Metallica!
Can’t wait until you get into the last 3 albums. 👍
Outlaw Torn is an epic track from Load, (ignore the old guard which I’m one of, saying post AJFA is crap. The musicianship of James is amazing all the way through 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Please do not listen to the Metallica “haters”. Now, I’m not saying to not take recommendations from them rather just don’t let them sway you from reviewing what YOU want to review. We’re all here for you (and in some ways for ourselves too) so you do you brother & just ignore the haters.
I cried watching you cry! That is a reaction!!!!!!
I do a lot of volunteer work with displaced youth. And music therapy is the best therapy. It doesn't matter how old they are, they know what the song means
FINALLY. I'm so glad you liked it, I was expecting your reaction for so long.
I had the chance to sing this one in front of a really big crowd on a show. When the song starts, and you hear the audience go "ooohhh..." You know it's going to be one of those moments in your life.
And so it was. I saw people getting emotional through the song, and I struggled not to break.
I will never forget that night.
Thanks, kid.
I remember when this album first came out it took me a little while to wrap my brain around and like "Nothing Else Matters", but I instantly loved this one!!
Still remember the first time i listened to this album. Front to back it's mind-blowing. Dont stop listening to Metallica fella. Load 1996 Reload 1997 St Anger 2003 Death Magnetic 2008 Hardwired 2016 and 72 Seasons 2023 all have incredible music on them. Keep on enjoying the Metallica journey
My favorite part, the lyrics “the old man here is me” that’s when you realize he’s talking about himself
Give a listen to Metallica's The Day That Never Comes. They go super Sayan with their instruments!!!!
Screw the haters, Metallica is one of those bands that you just have to hear every single thing they've done, even Garage Inc. and the S&M album... except for saint anger, ...JK😆
This album was part of the amazing progression of Metallica. The haters are those who can't change. I love the thrash Metallica the best, but this album was amazing and absolutely appropriate at the time. I was in college in the American midwest at the time, and it was defining. It is amazing to see you as a young guy feeling the same emotions I did in 1991 hearing this. I am loving your metal journey!
His voice only gets better.
Listen to nothing else matters, got married to that 😁
I reacted to it 😁
That solo is a blessing and a curse. Kirk used to map out all his solos but what he had written wasn't working here. What you're hearing was just ripped off the cuff and it's one of his best. Since then he's done more improvising and frankly I feel his solos have suffered for it
Personally, I don't understand how they settled for the solo on lux AEterna. It's complete shit.
@diverdown631 kirk said in an interview that he'd write like 6 or 8 solos for a song, and the band would pick their favorite, he said most of the times the ones he disliked the most was voted for lol I'd say this decision was on Lars and james
Some of the best solos are off the cuff. Alex Lifeson said the solo on Tom Sawyer was improvised on the spot.
This is the best one of metallica 🤘🤘
I'm so glad I grew up in the 90's❤❤❤
First part of a great music trilogy!
This album is magic. Don't listen to haters.
I love that Metallica makes you cry mister. That's what a genuine connection to music does. It's a beautiful thing to watch. Also, anyone who doesn't like the way you run your channel, should go start their own. Your Metallica (or any other amazing band) journey should be important to them as it is to you. For me, there is no such thing as too much Metallica.
The black album was an eye opener for me. It was first this album, then AC/DC Ballbreaker and Rainbows Rising that made me realize that hard rock/heavy metal CAN be melodic and still pack a serious punch. Will be fun to see the Unforgiven 2 video tonight after a couple of b**rs! Keep up the amazing work, dude!
I watch you enjoying this so much, and i just wish i could go back and hear it for the first time again.
I was 13, my brother bought me the cassette of the black album and donated his Walkman to me. Xmas 91 was awesome.
Thanks for doing this one and making me fall in love with Metallica all over again. 🤘
I really, really recommend that if you go past the Black Album you do these songs first before going deeper: Spit Out The Bone, Cyanide (you did the live version already), My Apocalypse, Crown of Barbed Wire, Bleeding Me, Outlaw Torn. Those will make the post-Black album styles easier to digest. They changed their sound pretty much after every album, reinventing themselves constantly.
Bleeding me with the S. Francisco orchestra is amazing 🤩
post black album is weird. quite a few stand out songs but you start having to dig around the doodoo a little bit. IMO it's Black Album followed by a spattering of good songs on some not so good albums until you hit Death Magnetic where they start to be more consistent again. Haven't heard much of 72 Seasons yet but I assume it follows the trend from the last 2.
@@ryantannar5301 I like 72 seasons but for me at least the album works best as an album, with the individual songs largely working best in the context of a full album playthrough. There are highlights of course that stand out.
Keep it going! U make a metalheart proud.
Keep it up with the Metallica reactions man, some of their songs have got me through some bad times.
✨️You know my answer is yes, please, more Metallica! This song lyrically is about James Hetfield life and how he felt growing up. 💥Great Solid reaction Mollyboy!! The God that failed you'll like! I love the Black album! It made them a household name for sure! 🤘〽️❤️🔥
Once again an amazing video, im waiting to see more!
I forgot to warn you that you would probably have some tears with this one. Only the serous old school Thrash metal heads were haters on the Black album. The vast majority of Metallica fans count it as the peak of their evolution, or at least among their top 5 albums. I, myself didn't really ever get past Cliff's tragic death, so as much as I loved and respected Jason's playing, could never place anything above Master of Puppets, but I absolutely respect people's opinions that this album and AJFA are some of Metallica's best work. Anyway, congrats on this great success. I looked back at your reaction to Master of Puppets again, and just smiled at where you were and where you are now. Much love. Keep it going.
Of Wolf and Man is one of my favorite tracks on this album. You will love it.
There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with that album!! Love anything these guys have made!
Should do all 3 together
I'm in my 40's and have loved this song since its release. Watching you react was a beautiful experience for me. I love that you love it so much! Thank you 🙏
One of the heaviest solos ever written!! This and the Floods solo by Dimebag!! Rip
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Amazing
Wanna annoy Metallica fans even more, check out S&M 😂.
Metallica with an orchestra !!
Personally I like my metal with some melody so both these albums float my boat
I LOVE YOU, all you real fans! Thanks MollyBoy
Loved it !!!! There is a PART2!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this song so much, I used to ignore it but once I heard that solo, omg it’s amazing. The lyrics and everything are 🔥. Can you react to their song Whiplash on their Kill em all album?. I fricking love the black ablum ❤
I think I’ve already reacted to it 🔥
@@MollyBoyTV really?
@@MollyBoyTVoh yeah you have lol, you should react the live version in Seattle 1989 it’s so fast
The black album is definitely one of the best
I’m 67 and have seen them live 4 times. I need at least one more.❤️
I love your reactions. You a probably my favorite reactor…and I watch quite a few.
The "Unforgiven " and "Fade to Black" are my favorites. Just beautiful. ❤
The black album was the beginning of the end for us old school fans.
One of my all time favorites! Love your reaction, sir.❤
Once a headbanger always a headbanger! Metal forever! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This song is one of the best of James's autobiographical songs. It's literally about his life. Also, possibly Kirk's best solo.
There's three songs that together almost describe my whole life musically. This is one of them
I think I was 19 and just got back from DESERT STORM when this came out
Sad But TRUE,,,, is my Favorite off the Black album.
The solo in this song to me feels like a person going through multiple mental phases: it starts with anger which switches to pure rage, eventually desperation kicks in and then it ends with solemn acceptance.
That's right, this is YOUR channel. You react to what you want too. Thank you so much for allowing us to be here for your journey. So far so good and getting better. Rock on, and as always- much love&respect 👍❣
