Unforgiven = I can't forgive them for what they've done Unforgiven II = I can't forgive you for what you've done Unforgiven III = I can't forgive myself

And that "you" in The Unforgiven II is his mom. James mentioned she in the lyrics and also the video shows the umbilical cord that maintains James connected to the stone that represents his mom's grave. Just an amazing visuals and lyrics!!! 🤘🏼🎶

It's 2022, it's time to admit that "Load" and "Re-Load" were fantastic albums. Not as heavy as the big 5, but they illustrate Metallica's ability to adapt to the times, to grow as musicians and people.

The way I see it is the good songs off of Load and Reload are really good, if not great (even fantastic is some cases), but the bad ones, are pretty goddamn bad, cringey, or at best, extremely forgettable. If you take the best songs off of both albums (which is subjective) you'd have the perfect '90s Metallica album

The lyrics describe an introverted guy who finally finds a girl that understands what it means to be lonely. The "door" spoken of in the song is the guy's soul, and the girl is the only person who has ever been able to make it "crack open." She dies ("The door is closed, so are your eyes"), and he goes on waiting for death, alone again, because she was the only one with the "key" to his soul. I can almost relate to this song...I've yet to meet that girl.

I think the line "I take this key and I bury it in you, because you're unforgiven too" doesn't really imply that she just died but more specifically that he killed her, whether that be literally or metaphorically. I think burying the key represents him leaving the idea of what could have been (them being together) in her memory, knowing that now it won't happen (hence why it's buried) because he can't forgive her, just like the rest of the world.

Mama Said is country AF
Another great banger off the Reload album is "The Memory Remains". The video is a trip!
3 will not disappoint. I would say the general interpretation is that the original is about being resentful of being forced out of a normal childhood due to strict conformity, the second is growing and realizing others who love you have similar demons in their past lives. 3 is the recognition in understanding that going through life as resentful and bitter from childhood was a choice, in a sense coming to peace with that the person who kept him shackled with resentment was he himself.

Yesss continuing on The Unforgiven trilogy, I'm here for it!
... The door is closed, so are your eyes, but now I see the sun. He managed to move through everything, he learned how to use the key. And he discovered that the others are struggling too, and suffering too, trying to move through. So, when he can see the Sun, he no longer need the key: "I'll take this key, and I bury it at you" - he goes through the opened door to the Sun, and leaves the key, so that the others could open that door to light. He could not go, holding that key. And there's one more thing, very deep and complicated to understand. Last words "Never free, never me" - you are not you, but a person, who you suppose yourself to be. And you're not free, until you open you true self
Lay beside me, tell me what they've done Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run - He meets a woman who had a similar childhood to him. The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true If you can understand the me, than I can understand the you - He has closed himself off from the world and is considering opening up for her, as long as she is “true” and not like the rest of the world. Lay beside me, under wicked sky The black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze - He believes he has found someone he can open up to, that they can be two against the world. The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through No, there's no sun shining through No, there's no sun shining... - Sunlight is symbolic of purity and safety. He opens the ‘door’ to his heart, but she betrays him like the rest of the world, being impure like the rest of the world. ‘Black heart scarring still’ is saying how when he thinks that he cannot have anything worse happen, it does. Come lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear „She loves me not, she loves me still“, but she'll never love again She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone Dead sure she'll be there... - In a sudden rage, he kills her. He tries to justify it by saying that she never loved him, but he realized that she did love him even though she lied / cheated / whatever. The meaning of ‘She’ll be there when I’m gone’ is pretty obvious; he is saying that he’ll see her again in heaven / hell / afterlife. Lay beside me, tell me what I've done The door is closed, so are you're eyes But now I see the sun, now I see the sun Yes now I see IT..... - After killing her, he closes back up and sees the sun. He feels safe being alone and closed off from the world, the world is only there to hurt him. I take this key (never free...) and I bury it (never me...) in you - Is symbolic of killing her for betraying him. He takes the key to his heart and buries it along with her. Because you're unforgiven too.... - Is referencing the first song. In the first song, he called everyone who wronged him “Unforgiven,” so now he says she is “Unforgiven too”, the same as the world, out there only to hurt him

Load and re-load shows their versatility. James is a great singer. The Tone , the powerful Tone.
Song that made me sing for a while in my band
To my recollection, James himself hasn't described what this song is about. The closest thing that I've been able to find is that it's very possible that it could be about Hetfield’s search for reason, truth, and love. Would also like to see more Iron Maiden reactions in the future. Number of The Beast" "Aces High" and "Wasted Years" are definitely worth checking out.
What a great interpretation of the song! 🍻
This is the best one of them imo :) Absolute masterpiece!
my favorite song
I love how different all three Unforgiven are.
Had to sub, love the Metallica reactions! Hope you will be exploring more heavy bands in the future.❤
The last few lines explains the meaning of the song He found someone he trusts and relates to after thinking he would never find love or someone who understands him. He gave her the key to his heart "I take this key and I bury it in you, because you're unforgiven too" after he thought he
This song is very underrated
You said a country vibe, yes there are undertones of country and blues all throughout Load and ReLoad. And, also the fact James used a telecaster guitar with a b-bender in it for this song. Those guitars are known for their twangy sound, used alot in country music.
Disposable Heroes 🔥🤘🏼
There is a song from the previous album "Load" called "Mama Said" which sounds even more country.
Please, please do The God that Failed and Disposable Heros
I want I felt, I've what known‼️🌉
One of the greatest songs that will ever be.
Unforgiven I: the verses are rough and the chorus is soft. Unforgiven II: the verses are soft and the chorus is rough.
It's HIS story‼️
I love your metallica reactions!!!
Loved load.and reload great albums
NO LEAF CLOVER - BEST METALLICA SONG
How is no one talking about the intro? It's like mix between Pink Floyd and Metallica 🔥🔥
I love how they took a few of the lines from The Unforgiven I. It truly feels like a sequel.
This song was on the Re-Load record. That record with the previous record, Load, had a mixture of hard rock, blues, and country. Unforgiven III has more of the metal you'd be looking for in a Metallica song but revisits the tone of the first Unforgiven. I like this version, but it is my least favorite of the Unforgiven Trilogy. Another song I would look into that is on the Reload record is Fuel.
Unforgiving 3 is my favorite
Continue with metallica.
Read the lyrics. He killed the girl. “She loves me not, she loves me still, but she’ll never love again” “The door is closed, so are her eyes” “Black heart scarring darker still, but she’ll be there when I’m gone, dead sure she’ll be there”

huh! country vibe? very insightful of you.i hear it now.
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone Dead sure she'll be there... Lay beside me, tell me what I've done The door is closed, so are your eyes But now I see the sun, now I see the sun Yes, now I see it I think the song is about trying to open up to someone and they betray you so now the main character in the song has killed the girl. That's why there were snakes in the video. He's sure she'll be there when he's gone and her eyes are closed because she's dead.
James has said he was definitely going for a western feel with the Unforgiven songs
love unforgiven so much
He uses a Fender Telecaster with a B-Bender (look it up.on KZread). Gives a country feel to the clean rhythm guitar part. Lyrically, the first song was directed at his oppressive father with the religous stuff... this one is directed at his first wife.
personally I liked this one more than the first unforgiven since I've never heard the second or third. Cant wait for the third keep it up Lilly love your reactions❤
The Tone ,The Tone. Load and Re-load are great. I think he killed her.
JH used a Fender Telecaster wth a B bender for this song.
You're getting a country vibe because of the country style writing in the musicianship, no matter how mad fans get about either of us saying that, Lilly. :P
Please be happy! ❤
Time for the final chapter as it comes full circle.
Can't wait for 3 to me the best one
After this trilogy you should visit megadeth because the lead singer dave mustaine had a role in the older metallica songs. If you do decide to check it out I would start with the "symphony of destruction"
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL KILLER SONG!!!🤘 IT'S A MASTERPIECE AND A RELATIONSHIP SONG.🤘🎸🥁😎🙏🎶🎼💯
You got a country vibe because Load and Reload have a lot of country vibes
I don't know for certain, but I always thought that Kirk was using a "B bender Fender Telecaster " guitar during that "country" part when you mentioned that it sounded like country music. Please respond all you guitar nerds! For Lilly, a "B-bender" is a guitar that has a mechanism in the body of the guitar that is attached to the "B" string of the guitar. When you bend down the neck of the guitar while playing the "B" string it creates a pitch shift. Much like what a whammy bar would do. I never saw the point of it. A whammy bar (tremolo bar) or any number of effects pedals could give the same effect. Actually, now that I listen again, the b-bender is very useful when combining notes. I guess that's it's purpose.
Ha, i forgot! I had heard a couple theories...
I can't wait for your unforgiven 3 reaction. Its my personal favorite
He kills her. That's why she'll be there when he's gone.
Thank you for another Metallica reaction and keeping with "the Unforgiven" trilogy, they make beautiful music and there's no other band like this one 🖤🤘 #LillyJGang
You need to check out MAMA SAID off LOAD if you like the country experiments....Outstanding video.
That's why there's UNFORGIVEN 3
Darlin' he's the unforgiven one.
Awesome reaction 👍
Time for part 3..;)
James is from down south texas way, hence the country sound
😘
Yes! A great song man, for your next reaction anything from "...And Justice for All" is killer, the tracks are pretty long but they never disappoint!
What others are saying. Listen to Mama Said by Metallica.
It's interesting to hear all three parts together, while reading the lyrics, a bit of a repetitive theme but it's what James wanted to talk about back then. And yes, it's Country Rock, something most Metalheads don't know much about, or don't like, because 90% of Metalheads don't like anything outside of Metal. That's why most Metalheads hate Metallica because they experimented with other musical styles and marketed themselves in the 90's by moving away from Thrash Metal, cutting their hair, becoming famous and making more money.
Nothing else matters please!!!
This album was made after he got out of rehab
Metallica doing something new .... James is kind of a country boy... old schools fans hated it.... but that's their issue ... unable to grow up
Great video
Hetfield is a huge southern rock guy
A lot of people criticized this song for the country sound, but I don’t think it was a bad thing.
Lilly Jane, yes Load and Reload have different vibes than the rest of Metallica 's albums, but they are great music. Check out "Where the wild things are" from the same album Reload. It's kind of haunting. Great song.
Load reload era does have some country aspects to it
Low man's lyric after unforgiven 3
Yeah, country vibes. Try ‘Mama Said’!!!!
This is a good song, but the unforgiven III is the best one, deeper.
This song is tough to interpret,some say that it’s about him not being able to forgive her,others say that it’s about them being perfect for each other because she’s unforgiven like him,I think It tells a story,it starts off with him thinking this relationship can’t work cus something about her reminds him of his past,of what others have done to him,so he views her as being unforgiven like them,but as time passes he realizes that the reason why she reminds him of that time,is because he sees himself at that time in her,he realizes that she’s been through the same shit as him,so it transitions from I can’t forgive you cus you’re like them to u have similar experiences to me you’re like me,you are also unforgiven.
So little bit of info for you, the Creeping Death live in Moscow 1991 was to a crowd of 1.6 million people. I have been a fan since the late 80's. A good reaction video for you to do is a popular choice and can be found all over youtube is Jinjer- pisces live at Napalm records. Another good band to react to is Tool. These are all good rock bands and there is a LARGE list of bands you can react too. Enjoy!!!!
Hi lily,jump to the black album through the never song..very impressive track
load and re load were much maligned by many Metallica fans they got experimental with their sound so you got bluesy vibes alternative vibes and yes Country vibes too "mama said is almost a total Country song" but that experimentation proved to me their fearless approach to their music that I still love after nearly 40 years being a fan
James struggles to forgive his people who neglected him‼️

Metallica - Turn the page is one of the best song for me, so i suggest you to do teaction
Unforgiven: Blames the world. He is an angry and disappointed man. Unforgiven 2: He is looking for someone to blame. Like a big shadow following him. So are you with me or are you unforgiven too? Unforgiven 3: He understands that he was the one that caused trouble to the ones that loved him. He now blames himself for the things he said and done.
Like from all reactions to Metallica you've done so far, you just missed a few songs :). Like "Turn the page" and actually the the whole album "Master Of Puppets". And maybe one of there fun songs "whiskey in a jar".
