Terribly underrated song… this is a great example of Metallica’s amazing songwriting. It took me a moment to realize the lyrics “or are you unforgiven, too?” has a double meaning as “Unforgiven II”.
Underrated? Who isn’t able to recognize that this is one of their best. I am an OG but this one hammers all the classics. And I know which songs to name to be recognised as an OG Metallica fan, but for me I prefer Death Magnetic over 80% of their albums.
James explained in So What: "Unforgiven 2 was recorded with two guitars, the clean parts in the verses was the B-Bender and and the heavy distorted parts was the KL Explorer (the guitar he's using in this performance), so it would have been impossible to keep changing like that in a live setting because you can't stop and start, so I just used the KL live, which sounded good, as the B-Bender I have is stock with no EMGs which are in all my main guitars. I wish I did that in '97 during that show! That and Kirk playing in tune would have helped! But yeah the first time we played UF2 was brutal."
Question I’m not musically knowledgeable but I know for unforgiven he sets up the acoustic on the mic and he has his explorer around his shoulder. Couldn’t he have a similar set up?
@@thedangerdave7167 When he plays the Unforgiven on the regular acoustic, it's on a stand. This wouldn't work for Unforgiven 2 because with a B bender, you need to be wearing it on a strap to use the B bend function
@@kcguitar9307 no you cant, b benders bend chords similar to a steel guitar. Its pretty much impossible to bend the b a whole step while in a chord shape
@@Opticillusion160 no not bending in the chord shape...just making a slightly different arrangement so that you can bend the note..I had done this really long ago and it sounds similar to the original
I find singing with my eyes closed helps me focus on remembering the lyrics. When you get really good at guitar, it becomes a reflex and not a thing you have to think about. For James, it's just a matter of him closing his eyes on multitasking singing and playing.
Lay beside me and tell me what they've done And speak the words I wanna hear to make my demons run The door is locked now but it's open if you're true If you can understand the me then I can understand the you Lay beside me, under wicked sky Through black of day, dark of night, we share this, paralyzed 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 What I've felt, what I've known Turn the pages, turn the stone Behind the door, should I open it for you? Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known Sick and tired, I stand alone Could you be there 'Cause I'm the one who waits for you Or are you unforgiven too? 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 hearts 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? What I've felt, what I've known Turn the pages, turn the stone Behind the door, should I open it for you? Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known Sick and tired, I stand alone Could you be there 'Cause I'm the one who waits for you Or are you unforgiven too? 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 What I've felt, what I've known Turn the pages, turn the stone Behind the door, should I open it for you Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known So sick and tired, I stand alone Could you be there 'Cause I'm the one who waits The one who waits for you Oh, what I've felt, what I've known Turn the pages, turn the stone Behind the door, should I open it for you? (so I dub thee unforgiven) Oh, what I've felt Oh, what I've known I'll take this key and I'll bury it in you Because you're unforgiven too Never free, never me 'Cause you're unforgiven too, oh oh
Nossa, realmente, Kirk parece que se esqueceu completamente do solo e improvisou qualquer coisa. Qualquer coisa muito desafinada. O som está perfeito, mas ele tinha que estragar 😭
@@SJoriis I know right? They've played UF2 like 3 times since Reload came out in 1997 yet he's complaining that he would be disappointed if it wasn't the first one. It's pretty much a staple on their setlist for the most part. I would be the complete opposite. I'd hear the horns and think "Unforgiven.

I'm sorry but as soon as those horns stopped and i realized it wasn't the original unforgiven i would have been so fucking happy and surprized because they've only played this five times and this is my personal favorite Metallica song. This one has had the most impact on me emotionally. More than any other Metallica song.

The “She lay beside me
But she’ll be there when I’m gone”
is beautiful
The best part, my demons run
Fact and now I see the sun

Finally , good video and audio quality ... thank you !!!
Love that he almost sings it completely through eyes closed
The unforgiven trilogy connects to James childhood and life
So this is a emotional moment for him everytime
And this is his favourite song, as I heard.
He’s looking down at the lyric monitor my man. They barely learned the song properly.
I find singing with my eyes closed helps me focus on remembering the lyrics. When you get really good at guitar, it becomes a reflex and not a thing you have to think about. For James, it's just a matter of him closing his eyes on multitasking singing and playing.
If I die this will be my funeral song! Most beautiful song ever existed on earth!
That was great. Fantastic performance. They flopped this one at the Billboard awards in 97, but they finally figured the track out. Epic
4:19 - The Riff
Lay beside me and tell me what they've done
And speak the words I wanna hear to make my demons run
The door is locked now but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me then I can understand the you
Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Through black of day, dark of night, we share this, paralyzed
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
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
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 hearts 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?
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
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
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you
Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
So sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you
Oh, what I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you? (so I dub thee unforgiven)
Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known
I'll take this key and I'll bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too
Never free, never me
'Cause you're unforgiven too, oh oh
Deberian tocar mas seguido este tema!!

A lot of it sounds exactly like the studio version.

O James é incrível. Como pode !
My favorite Unforgiven
People there don't know how lucky they are...
Larg vida a Metallica
Великая группа, вещь просто суппр!!! Однозначно они лучшие!!
Honestly, up until the final verse, I don't think James was trying.
why didn't he played the b bender even when he practiced it in the tuning room?
@@AITORMANDO he was saying he had it in the tuning room before this concert and was playing around on it in there
perfect😍😍😍😍😍
reload ❤
🔥🔥🤘
WUNDERBAR CARALHOOOOOOOOOOOO
1:46 Was Lars crying?
Probably sweating.
Thanks for upload!!!!
Suits James voice so well, wish they played it slower
Wtf Kirk 😭
??
@@elguitaristeetounsi that's a bad solo
@@goanywhere7693 LoooL no just that a kirk solo
Nossa, realmente, Kirk parece que se esqueceu completamente do solo e improvisou qualquer coisa. Qualquer coisa muito desafinada. O som está perfeito, mas ele tinha que estragar 😭
@@MarlonLeandroSilva menos, é perfeitamente normal.
so sad to see the hands up with phones and not moving....
rare video
Looks like Metallica is a three man show now
hope u not talking about kirk his solo was awesome 😡
I'm sorry but as soon as those horns stopped and I realized it wasn't unforgiven 1 I would have been so disappointed!
lol like they never play that song
@@SJoriis I know right? They've played UF2 like 3 times since Reload came out in 1997 yet he's complaining that he would be disappointed if it wasn't the first one.

Honestly I love this song more than the other two
