3 years ago I was extremely depressed and I was in a very dark place and after many suicide attempts I started listening to Metallica and they helped me get through it. Thanks for existing
“that old man here is me” is when this song goes from a 9 to a 10, and then the solo takes it to legendary status. truly a masterpiece made simply and beautifully
My brother died 6/20/2020 he loved Metallica he even passed in his Metallica shirt we did his funeral in Metallica so dam beautiful we played this song loud and proud
Its amazing how an incredible song creates emotions and feelings between people. We are from different counties, speak different languages and here we are paying our respect to this Metallica classic through our life experiences. Rock on forever my brothers and sisters !!! Shaun from South Africa
If you pay attention to the lyrics, it starts off with “New blood joins this earth” (infant) then “child” then “young man” then “man” then “old man” it’s like the boy is growing. Deep song
When my brother died in 1989 I was in such a dark place. This song seemed to written and described my brother exactly. The guilt and shame and the unforgivable feeling of depression. My brother committed suicide. Listening to this song really explained to me what he must of felt when he died. I have since then after I got married in 2009 (took me a long time to get over his death). I vowed that whatever my kids wanted to be, whatever they tried to do in their lives I would be there for them. My son (13) and daughter (11) will always be supported and loved by me their father. This song is a beautiful expression of things that might have been.
My brother also died 6 years ago...we both like metallica ever since 1988....I still prayer for him......as Orthodox Christian we never loose our hope for our brothr..
This song is dedicated to all those who's purpose is to stop you from being who you truly are. Never love anyone enough to let them stop you from being who you are supposed to be. Live your dreams and purpose to the fullest extent even if you have to live it alone. You'll be happier.
So true bro. My wife is leaving me after just a year of marriage because she can't stand who I really am anymore. I still love her but she was holding me back
I do, especially the line at 2:17 - *He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is.* I do a lot for others very well, but they don’t seem to appreciate it much; if at all. So I strongly identify as who James "Thee Unforgiven;" this will forever be my favorite Metallica song.
I enjoyed this song so much as a teenager, that I never understood or bothered what they were saying. Now, at 50, I played it on RUclips with lyrics. It hit me so hard. It got me watery eyes. This song was made for me. It’s now one of my favorite karaoke songs. Long live Metallica!
I'm 27 so I'm half way there brother. But it brings tears to my eyes too, and I wasn't even born at height of this band. Yet it resonates deep in my heart. Truly a special song unlike any other ❤
I have grieved with this song and cried many rivers as a teenager listening to this. "Never free - never me!" Unforgiven to them and unforgiven to me. Label me. I label you. That's real and honest life! Still at 46 - this is my go to grief song when I lose a loved one. The lyrics always ring true of their life and my own. So deep and so real of how many lives these lyrics affect so many and also helps us to grieve those who pass before us. My mom was very religious and hated Metallica and my music choices growing up. And ironically- it was the music and lyrics that saved me - way back when. Very horrific youth years and suicide was never more than a thought away - back then. And even after finding Jesus and the truth by reading the bible for myself; songs like this are very much needed to hug self and comfort self for the flesh sake. And I do! Thank you for The Unforgiven!!! Best hugs ever Metallica and saved many lives and also their souls to become better people too. Still my favorite song that should be played at all funerals. Just because those who give this song a chance then they absolutely get it and those who haven't yet --- will get it when death looks back at them from the ones they loved!
I'm just kind of getting into Metallica. As always when listening to new music, it's taking me a while to get used to their style, but this song was instantly my favourite
I never really liked Metallica my sister always plays they’re songs when we clean up then I heard this and became my favourite now just trying to like the other songs
people should put this song as their alarm in order to remind theirself who they are trying to not become by fighting everyday and remind them that the pain of regret is worse than the pain of working and taking tough decisions . Hope is the most important thing nowadays lads dont let them take it it from you . And if they take it ,then fight back and gain it again . Each in their own way and time ,but the fighting will be needed . edit: excuse my English im greek
Great song! In my opinion, this song to me is about when you realize you’ve been trying to please everyone else wether it be society or family/friends. Then one day you realize you lost sight of who you are and what you want. Does anyone truly know you? Don’t wait till it’s too late ..instead of “never me, never free” let it be, “I am me, I am free!”.
Speaks to me more along the lines of societal expectations. You got to learn the rules, never allowed to just be, always needing to fit in. The line" so I dub thee unforgiven" is what sells that idea for me. No matter what happens you still owe someone, almost like a debt is never repaid. Never me, never free. Food for thought at the very least.
@@santaanaluna4563 This fits my childhood/teens. Subsequently years of drug and alcohol abuse to kill the pain and fill the void. Had to get sober and work on a lot of shit. Still working on me. It takes time but I'm not going to be the bitter old man. They are not worth it...
This is dedicated to my friend who just past he was a veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam wars he passed away at 90, no longer tortured by his memories of the wars finally free may he rest in peace.
I call bullshit. Regret is the best emotion you can feel. If you are able to regret what you did, your personality is evolving and you're becoming abetter person. Perhaps it is unpleasant, but it's certainly not toxic.
this song was released in 91 when i was a kid and after 30 years i still listen to this song faithfully.. i really love this song...salam from Jakarta Indonesia
I first heard this song when i was 2 years old and since then it has been my favourite. Here we are 17 years later that i can trully understand the meaning of the lyrics and can fully relate to some parts of the song. Scary and incredible at the same time that my favourite song would mean so much for me in the future.Greatness of music and greatness of Metallica
I remember these homemade carebear chocolates I ate when I was a year and 4 months old, certain things can be remembered from a very young age if you really care and hold onto them@@adamjohnston5250
Man this song was such a part of my childhood growing up. Metallica period was a huge part of my childhood/teenage years. Thanks for the great music. This song really gives me chills every time I hear it.
My dad passed away last yr and we would always listen to this song and even played it on guitar hero. I've never fully listened to the lyrics until now.....I understand my dad a bit better now and we were far more alike than I ever realized. I miss u so much🖤🤘🔥🎤🎸
this song is for all the people who have been held down in life for whatever reason,i love the fact it empowers you to label people the way they label you,so powerful and human
Recently i had my fist son, i used to say that this is my favourite song but just now hearing it over over again i realize that the lyrics took a whole different meaning. I will always be there for you as your father as your guidance in this world to help you to teach you to stand in every moment of your life. The quest for finding one's true self is a never ending process, forever we are free. Σ αγαπώ μικρέ μου

"13 year ago" OMG seriously? 😱whatever, thank you admin for still keeping the song unforgiven..This is on RUclips..this song is a rock song of all time . Love you 😘
When this song came out I didn't speak English, so I didn't understand what they were saying, but I listened to it 5 years ago after decades, and I cried.
The line at 2:17 - *He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is* - really resonates with me. I do a lot for others very well, but they don’t seem to appreciate it much; if at all. I strongly identify with who James "Thee Unforgiven" and this will forever be my favorite Metallica song.
I love this song. First time I heard it was when I was 5, And my Father was playing it on Guitar Hero. That was 11 years ago. I had forgotten that song during this years, And I just found it today. I've been replaying it all day. I'm so glad I found it again! Brings back a lot of memories.
An impossibly profound set of lyrics...truly powerful and painful. Love this song...always have since I was young and first heard it. There is an incredible power in man's creativity and lyrics like this are testament to that fact. Thanks for posting this.
@@robertb3773 In 2024, April 30 will mark the 250th anniversary of the Yellow Creek massacre... I think this day will not be funny for the USA. When a supervolcano wakes up nearby. My name is
To think they were just in their 19’s to early twenties when they wrote this song! Truly show us how matured their generation is and how genius they are!
I have listened to this song a thousand times probably, still I sit here with tears in my eyes.... Thanks metallica for leaving this masterpiece to the world!
Metallica you rock . 3 guys from high school and I our senior year went to Sumerset Wisconsin to see Metallica on the 94 black Album. We got a ride from a district attorney cause our car broke down in front of his house. We were going to walk 12 miles too the concert but he was nice and gave us a ride. The concert Metallica came down in a helicopter for the song 1 awesome . The drums were so loud people said y could here for 5 miles. Girls were mud wrestling and getting wild. We partied from 10pm till the next day with some cool Canadians. Just a great show.
There comes a time in someone's life when a song resonates with them massively. Right now is certainly that time for me with this song. I'm about a month or so away from being sent to prison for finding myself involved in some stuff I had always vowed to stay away from which has also led to my closest friend also facing prison for the same thing while attempting to help me get out of it. Since the arrest last year I have always felt incredibly guilty and self-defeated and self destructive and I know I will be stuck with the shame and guilt for quite some time, but yeah I do see myself as Unforgiven no matter what everyone else says
Remember your past does not define you. All saints have a past and all sinners have a future. Keep your head held high. Once you’ve done your time you’ve paid your dues. Let this life lesson teach you that tomorrow is another day. Wishing you the best.
always remember, you're never truly unforgiven... if you can forgive yourself. because the bitter people who hold grugdes eventually get weighed down, trust me im one of them.. and you'll get wieghed down too, if you can't forgive yourself. please, always find it in your heart to forgive and look after yourself.. and if your finding it hard, think of this song.
I’ve listened to this song for a long time, and it’s been my favorite song for a while. I would always listen to this song in my moments of pain and it always got to me but I never knew why. For some reason though I never stopped and actually listened to the lyrics. I almost cried, because this song is what I feel like inside. I feel like I’m trapped inside my own head because of other people bringing me down. This song is beautiful, and Metallica will always be my favorite band.
This song from Metallica is just somehow so touching. Especially when the chorus starts. Almost April 2019. Still one of the greatest songs ever made. That old man here is me
One day I was having a shit day, and I was feeling like I couldn’t related to anyone or anything on this planet and I just felt kinda hopeless. This song comes on, on my way to work and i start ballin like a kid, It was like this song got me, and I felt a little less alone. Great fucking song
The line at 2:17 - *"He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is!"* - really resonates with me. I do so much for so many people & do it quite well, and they don’t appreciate it much. Whenever it gets to me, I always think to myself "Without me, everyone who depends on me is in serious trouble." Still, I strongly identify as the one James dubs "The Unforgiven." This will forever be my favorite Metallica song.
Yes, this was my take away from this, but I didn't grasp all the lyrics as a teen when I needed it. But, times were different then, people weren't bitter about doing things, because good things came back. Now there are more users and takers so doing 'so much for others' is folly. One and done, I'll still do or go first, but someone who doesn't reciprocate gets called out out or off the favor list.
Foster C my thoughts exactly. ITS an unbelievable song. Suits even my life :). But I’m not old yet, Even though I SEE myself like this in the not so distant future!!! :P
This song so describes my life. Now at the end, I sit, broken, without hope, without success, a nobody, never to be remembered for so much that I have given others. The lives I have saved, not wanting to be a hero, just a man that gave all and never appreciated. Just waiting for the angel of Death to come take me at my last breath. So, another facet in the world ceases to shine and the world grows darker...
Recently I watched a few vids with metallica talking... only because I like to hear James Hetfield talk. The dude is so deep and wise that he blows my mind. Anyway, he said at an interview that the song that reflects him the most is "The unforgiven" ... And now by reading the lyrics and knowing some of his story it all makes sense. Amazing how poetic while being spot on and not spewing a shit load of nuances that dude can be. JUST AMAZING!
Is he, now? Let's say that you're a rock in a lake. Time/Life is the acid in that lake. Once 50 years have passed you'll be a smooth stone. That smoothness, my friend. Is wisdom
Sandman556 Or you just corrode to find open air pockets, become an awkward mangled version of your former self, and slowly break apart and wither away. That dust, my friend, is defeat. [And I'm joking, by the way]
this helped me through school as a child. I lost ALL my friends that i had since kindergarten. The line " wont see what might have been " speaks to me so hard til this very day. I will never see how it would have been like to grow old with friends since a very young age.
yeah, losing friends and growing up lonely is a recipe for a horrible life. but only if you let it be. the MetallicA family is here for you @gymandthelifeoutside3966
You're not alone who felt that. I always considered my self as worthy of having a beautiful life packed with friends, girlfriends , joy and happiness but even if I didn't have all these things and I wont see what might have been if I had been myself and had full confidence in my childhood and teenage years.. I know that in the end we will all be alone and die alone, so its better to love oneself and myself first
Brings back memories. Remember me and and dad used to play Guitar Hero, and all we played was Metallica lol. Miss those days man. Rock on brothers and sister. Long live Metallica
Me and my 6 just turned 7 year old blast this every morning on the way to his school he loves Metallica, Def Leppard, Scorpions, etc..I feel like I’m doing something right as a parent after all🤘🏻 #MetallicaAndJusticeForAll🤘🏻
I've heard many people say that young people don't really understand the lyrics. Well that's just plain BS. I'm 17 and understand them perfectly because they're relatable. As a kid, I was constantly abused by my father, from a little kid to 12. That's when I ran away to my mother. Either way, it's an amazing song and an amazing band
This song talks to me. I'm 75 years old. This songs puts into words what I've felt all my life but could not put into words myself! The feeling of utter loneliness when for some reason you don't understand, your the odd man out. When your always the new kid. When your an adult your the F.N.G. When you make it home from an undeclared war and your the bad guy. When Democrats think your too conservative and Republicans say your too liberal. When you live in the north everyone calls you hillbilly and when you move back south people are offended when you fly the Stars and Bars. This song is the mantra for ones that just don't fit in anywhere.
@@jasongraham4425 First... Wow. Its sad to know they have enslaved you to such a degree. Or maybe you are really young if you are A "good" man is usually someones punk. A woman, a religion an institution whatever. Fuck being a "good" man. Most of youse guys don't even know how to be a man.
@@jasongraham4425 The song is clearly a horrific tell of a young child who becomes a do boy and never reaches his potential. I'm really confused why you think someone who had his identity, thoughts, characteristics and eventually his life snuffed out is good. Smh
Such a sad and beautiful song, it always plays with your emotions, whatever how many times you listen to it.. even to this day, it has the same effect on me, I shed a few tears each time.
High school in Washington State let out the last time in June 1980. This song with it's GONG bell sound played often, but I was always--too busy-- to listen to it's lyrical message. At 40 years old the lyrics began playing in my head--at least I do not hear plain old voices in my head--while I was praying my frustrations away. What is this, God, that seems to know I was coming to California before I did, and stands in my way at every perfect crossroad? Is this the flaming sword? Is it the heathen? Are these the UNFORGIVEN?
Anyone here in 2024?
Me
I dub thee unforgettable
Yep
Only til 2025
Hell yeah!
When you’re young you enjoy the music...when you get older you truly understand the lyrics.
Michelle Fluech are you gatekeeping music?
Ain't that the truth
True
You don't have to be old to truly understand lyrics... Anyone who's gone through something similar understands the struggles.
You sure hit the nail on the head with that one....
3 years ago I was extremely depressed and I was in a very dark place and after many suicide attempts I started listening to Metallica and they helped me get through it. Thanks for existing
Hey...look up my dear friend.life is free
Glad your still here. 👍
Jack glad you are ok!!
Glory
I'm happy you found something to help you through your dark time. God bless❤️
“that old man here is me” is when this song goes from a 9 to a 10, and then the solo takes it to legendary status. truly a masterpiece made simply and beautifully
Truth brother
Cheers 🍻
intresting story about that solo, i dunno if you've heard?
My brother died 6/20/2020 he loved Metallica he even passed in his Metallica shirt we did his funeral in Metallica so dam beautiful we played this song loud and proud
My condolences
Live for those that pass. Mourn through the celebration of life I lost my mom on 1/22/20 and she would never want tears for her
Sorry for your loss....god rest his soul jamming metalica..till we get there to rock out with him....rip
I raise my cup to honor your brother friend! May his soul rest in peace.
damn man. stay strong!

Thanks
Its about depression
Amen

We will rock you !!!
Yes 🙏
Right...In a Nash interview on MTV Billy Corban mentioned that he wrote some of the lyrics and yes, it pertained to depression
When my brother died in 1989 I was in such a dark place. This song seemed to written and described my brother exactly. The guilt and shame and the unforgivable feeling of depression. My brother committed suicide. Listening to this song really explained to me what he must of felt when he died. I have since then after I got married in 2009 (took me a long time to get over his death). I vowed that whatever my kids wanted to be, whatever they tried to do in their lives I would be there for them. My son (13) and daughter (11) will always be supported and loved by me their father. This song is a beautiful expression of things that might have been.
Hes still out there...we never die. Youll see him again.
From those of us who are still trapped in the darkness. You have my thanks for this post. No one should bear the scars we do, nor the burdens we bear.

This song is dedicated to all those who's purpose is to stop you from being who you truly are. Never love anyone enough to let them stop you from being who you are supposed to be. Live your dreams and purpose to the fullest extent even if you have to live it alone. You'll be happier.
So true bro. My wife is leaving me after just a year of marriage because she can't stand who I really am anymore. I still love her but she was holding me back

Roses are red, Violets are blue, When I listen to Metallica, My neighbors do too.
Haha lmao nice!!!
Anybody out there feels the pain through the lyrics of this song? Forever Metallica! Metallica Forever!
I do, especially the line at 2:17 - *He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is.* I do a lot for others very well, but they don’t seem to appreciate it much; if at all. So I strongly identify as who James "Thee Unforgiven;" this will forever be my favorite Metallica song.

I enjoyed this song so much as a teenager, that I never understood or bothered what they were saying. Now, at 50, I played it on RUclips with lyrics. It hit me so hard. It got me watery eyes. This song was made for me. It’s now one of my favorite karaoke songs. Long live Metallica!
Feel the exact feelings at 53, Tony
I'm 27 so I'm half way there brother. But it brings tears to my eyes too, and I wasn't even born at height of this band. Yet it resonates deep in my heart. Truly a special song unlike any other ❤
Im 45 and just now got interested in it even thoughI've heard it in the past....its hard being mex- american!
Эта песня посвещается мальчику Индейцу и статуи Свободы! 😉
@@anthonymankoski4009 Tnx...70 now, still feel the same...sigh...God bless.
I have grieved with this song and cried many rivers as a teenager listening to this.
"Never free - never me!"
Unforgiven to them and unforgiven to me. Label me. I label you. That's real and honest life!
Still at 46 - this is my go to grief song when I lose a loved one.
The lyrics always ring true of their life and my own. So deep and so real of how many lives these lyrics affect so many and
also helps us to grieve those who pass before us.
My mom was very religious and hated Metallica and my music choices growing up.
And ironically- it was the music and lyrics that saved me - way back when.
Very horrific youth years and suicide was never more than a thought away - back then.
And even after finding Jesus and the truth by reading the bible for myself;
songs like this are very much needed to hug self and comfort self for the flesh sake. And I do!
Thank you for The Unforgiven!!! Best hugs ever Metallica and saved many lives and also their souls to become better people too.
Still my favorite song that should be played at all funerals.
Just because those who give this song a chance then they absolutely get it and those who haven't yet ---
will get it when death looks back at them from the ones they loved!
even if you're not a Metallica fan, who doesn't like Unforgiven
I'm just kind of getting into Metallica. As always when listening to new music, it's taking me a while to get used to their style, but this song was instantly my favourite
@@aaronpearson1744 same here!
I never really liked Metallica my sister always plays they’re songs when we clean up then I heard this and became my favourite now just trying to like the other songs
Count Blastula. Haha right. Seriously though an amazing song. 1 and 2 both! Also they killed Bob Segars turn the page 😉😊💪🎸🎵🎶
I'm not really a fan of this style of music, but I do have to say that this one is better than the others lol.
New blood joins this earth and quickly he loves Metallica👏
2019 still unforgiven
Cassandra Gonzales yeah that's true
It's amazing
I love old school metallica
Before st.anger released
30years of living I've never heard this till today this shit hard asf
Listen to more metallica, if you havnt, you should also listen to pink floyd
It's hittin' different these days. Gives me chills
Same here!!
people should put this song as their alarm in order to remind theirself who they are trying to not become by fighting everyday and remind them that the pain of regret is worse than the pain of working and taking tough decisions . Hope is the most important thing nowadays lads dont let them take it it from you . And if they take it ,then fight back and gain it again . Each in their own way and time ,but the fighting will be needed .
edit: excuse my English im greek
The flow and rhythm of their guitars is just legendary..
Metallica in general is just pure emotional, lyrical, vocal and instrumental perfection.
Yes!
What about 🅱️ A S S
I was lucky enough to be a kid when they came out and grew up with their music.
R.I.P. Cliff Burton. You are still missed brother
Kirk is one of the best guitarist ever
Great song! In my opinion, this song to me is about when you realize you’ve been trying to please everyone else wether it be society or family/friends. Then one day you realize you lost sight of who you are and what you want. Does anyone truly know you? Don’t wait till it’s too late ..instead of “never me, never free” let it be, “I am me, I am free!”.
Theresa T to me it’s about an abused boy 🙁
And I dub thee all forgiven
Speaks to me more along the lines of societal expectations. You got to learn the rules, never allowed to just be, always needing to fit in. The line" so I dub thee unforgiven" is what sells that idea for me. No matter what happens you still owe someone, almost like a debt is never repaid. Never me, never free. Food for thought at the very least.

@@santaanaluna4563 This fits my childhood/teens. Subsequently years of drug and alcohol abuse to kill the pain and fill the void. Had to get sober and work on a lot of shit. Still working on me. It takes time but I'm not going to be the bitter old man. They are not worth it...
This is dedicated to my friend who just past he was a veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam wars he passed away at 90, no longer tortured by his memories of the wars finally free may he rest in peace.
Does anyone else ever come back to songs you used to jam out to as a kid, only to actually understand the lyrics and end up crying? 😅
I hear that. Jammed to this in the 90's. Understand what the lyrics are about 30 years later.
Yes doing this right now!
Το ιδιο επαθα και εγω τωρα που ειμαι 57 χρονων το ακουω και κλαιω οταν ημουν νεος το ακουγα και γουσταρα Αθανατο εργο τεχνης σε αγγιζει βαθια
Regret is the most toxic emotion.
I call bullshit. Regret is the best emotion you can feel. If you are able to regret what you did, your personality is evolving and you're becoming abetter person.
Perhaps it is unpleasant, but it's certainly not toxic.

I first heard this song when i was 2 years old and since then it has been my favourite. Here we are 17 years later that i can trully understand the meaning of the lyrics and can fully relate to some parts of the song. Scary and incredible at the same time that my favourite song would mean so much for me in the future.Greatness of music and greatness of Metallica
You can remember been 2 years old and listening to Metallica ??? Most people can’t remember been 2 ….. I call bullshit

Just discovered it and in the age where censorship is running rampet this song really resonates.

Hits too hard my friend....

Same here man, only recently got into Metallica and this song speaks to me on so many levels
I've found this song relatable in all stages of my life. It's gotten me through some hard times and some harder times
"13 year ago" OMG seriously? 😱whatever, thank you admin for still keeping the song unforgiven..This is on RUclips..this song is a rock song of all time . Love you 😘
It will be a masterpiece even in 3031
When this song came out I didn't speak English, so I didn't understand what they were saying, but I listened to it 5 years ago after decades, and I cried.
Same here, but i didnt cry. Last be honest
What an irony...
That it's so painful to be able to relate to this beautiful cathartic piece of art.
its ironic to you?
how so?
nvm i dont care
I mean who can't?
The line at 2:17 - *He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is* - really resonates with me. I do a lot for others very well, but they don’t seem to appreciate it much; if at all. I strongly identify with who James "Thee Unforgiven" and this will forever be my favorite Metallica song.
I love this song. First time I heard it was when I was 5, And my Father was playing it on Guitar Hero. That was 11 years ago. I had forgotten that song during this years, And I just found it today. I've been replaying it all day. I'm so glad I found it again! Brings back a lot of memories.
Someone said on another site about this song " when you are happy, you enjoy the music, when you are sad ,you understand the words"
One of their most perfect pieces - beauty, melody, melancholy, darkness all interwoven with consummate skill.
Well said Julian.
Their best song alongside and justice for all (imo), and surely one of the very best from all metal

Peace unto you, brother.
Metallica you rock . 3 guys from high school and I our senior year went to Sumerset Wisconsin to see Metallica on the 94 black Album. We got a ride from a district attorney cause our car broke down in front of his house. We were going to walk 12 miles too the concert but he was nice and gave us a ride. The concert Metallica came down in a helicopter for the song 1 awesome . The drums were so loud people said y could here for 5 miles. Girls were mud wrestling and getting wild. We partied from 10pm till the next day with some cool Canadians. Just a great show.

There comes a time in someone's life when a song resonates with them massively. Right now is certainly that time for me with this song. I'm about a month or so away from being sent to prison for finding myself involved in some stuff I had always vowed to stay away from which has also led to my closest friend also facing prison for the same thing while attempting to help me get out of it. Since the arrest last year I have always felt incredibly guilty and self-defeated and self destructive and I know I will be stuck with the shame and guilt for quite some time, but yeah I do see myself as Unforgiven no matter what everyone else says
Remember your past does not define you. All saints have a past and all sinners have a future. Keep your head held high. Once you’ve done your time you’ve paid your dues. Let this life lesson teach you that tomorrow is another day. Wishing you the best.
always remember, you're never truly unforgiven... if you can forgive yourself. because the bitter people who hold grugdes eventually get weighed down, trust me im one of them.. and you'll get wieghed down too, if you can't forgive yourself. please, always find it in your heart to forgive and look after yourself.. and if your finding it hard, think of this song.
Anyone else learning english?

I'm not (native speaker), but find it awesome that people are using Metallica to learn how. 💜
My dad told me about metallica.
He is the best dad in the 🌎. 😊 😃
I first heard of Metallica on a Vanoss Gaming video lol! Master of Puppets is where it all began for me
Awwwww. Sweet dad
Same bro
my dad put me to sleep literally to this album, i always needed noise to sleep, still one of m absolute favorites :)
The older you get , more you relate to the lyrics and fall in love with it!
I’ve listened to this song for a long time, and it’s been my favorite song for a while. I would always listen to this song in my moments of pain and it always got to me but I never knew why. For some reason though I never stopped and actually listened to the lyrics. I almost cried, because this song is what I feel like inside. I feel like I’m trapped inside my own head because of other people bringing me down. This song is beautiful, and Metallica will always be my favorite band.
One thing I love about metallicas music,it's meaning is what you feel like it is .one song can have multiple meanings
REST IN PEACE POPS, U showed me REAL music
Thanx
This song from Metallica is just somehow so touching. Especially when the chorus starts.
Almost April 2019. Still one of the greatest songs ever made.
That old man here is me
Too good, no words but masterpiece
After listening this song after many, 2+ years,
I understand the reality behind these lyrics much more and it hits me much more than before.
R.I.P Cliff Burton - LOVED BY ALL - BEST BASS PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!
I just hope that you know Jason played this.
+CliffEmAll Jason is a traitor
If Cliff Burton hadn't taken Kirk Hamilton bed then he wouldn't be dead..
hey he left because of the way he was treated dick
Korbin Wilkes I want to go back in time to tell him...
When my brother takes the last Oreo
lmao
😅😅😅😅😅
LMAO
I literally lol
🤣🤣🤣
That old man here is me
One of my life goals was to learn how to play the guitar and I knew after I heard this song that I had to start playing... so thank you metallica
One day I was having a shit day, and I was feeling like I couldn’t related to anyone or anything on this planet and I just felt kinda hopeless. This song comes on, on my way to work and i start ballin like a kid, It was like this song got me, and I felt a little less alone. Great fucking song
I agree,AMAZING SONG. When i feel sad or something metallica always makes my mood happy :D
_data• corrupted- ¡ I feel you. This song always gets me, because I can relate to his lyrics. Amazing piece of music by Metallica.
"ballin'" or "bawlin'"? Quite different meanings there!
I've heard this song a gazillion times and then one day I heard it and realized it was about my people and I.
how I feel all the time man
The line at 2:17 - *"He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is!"* - really resonates with me. I do so much for so many people & do it quite well, and they don’t appreciate it much. Whenever it gets to me, I always think to myself "Without me, everyone who depends on me is in serious trouble." Still, I strongly identify as the one James dubs "The Unforgiven." This will forever be my favorite Metallica song.
Yes, this was my take away from this, but I didn't grasp all the lyrics as a teen when I needed it. But, times were different then, people weren't bitter about doing things, because good things came back. Now there are more users and takers so doing 'so much for others' is folly. One and done, I'll still do or go first, but someone who doesn't reciprocate gets called out out or off the favor list.
@@girohead I feel you, I should probably adopt a "no reciprocate, goodbye" rule for myself. But I'm afraid I'm just too nice.
I feel that😭😔💔🙏🏾
@@yvonnewilliams1769 I'm glad you do.
What does dub the unforgiven mean?
This song hits different when you get older 💯🔥
Master of puppets, my favorite album, this album came out, and a different side of Metallica was formed. It blew my mind! Still own this tape!
This song from Metallica is just somehow so touching. Especially when the chorus starts.
I didn't realize this song was so deep, until I actually read the lyrics..wow
Foster C same yeah it makes it totally different when you see the lyrics
this song reminds me of my trueself
r u deaf
Foster C my thoughts exactly. ITS an unbelievable song. Suits even my life :). But I’m not old yet, Even though I SEE myself like this in the not so distant future!!! :P
Everything by metallica is deep, pure art
When you're gone..you know who's the man...
This song so describes my life. Now at the end, I sit, broken, without hope, without success, a nobody, never to be remembered for so much that I have given others. The lives I have saved, not wanting to be a hero, just a man that gave all and never appreciated. Just waiting for the angel of Death to come take me at my last breath. So, another facet in the world ceases to shine and the world grows darker...
Recently I watched a few vids with metallica talking... only because I like to hear James Hetfield talk.
The dude is so deep and wise that he blows my mind. Anyway, he said at an interview that the song that reflects him the most is "The unforgiven" ... And now by reading the lyrics and knowing some of his story it all makes sense. Amazing how poetic while being spot on and not spewing a shit load of nuances that dude can be. JUST AMAZING!
I couldn't have worded it better myself
Deus Deceit Got a link to that interview? I'd love to take a listen.
Is he, now? Let's say that you're a rock in a lake. Time/Life is the acid in that lake. Once 50 years have passed you'll be a smooth stone. That smoothness, my friend. Is wisdom
Sandman556 Or you just corrode to find open air pockets, become an awkward mangled version of your former self, and slowly break apart and wither away. That dust, my friend, is defeat.
[And I'm joking, by the way]
Man. Screw you (Joking)
this helped me through school as a child. I lost ALL my friends that i had since kindergarten. The line " wont see what might have been " speaks to me so hard til this very day. I will never see how it would have been like to grow old with friends since a very young age.
The uforgiving This song is dedicated to a boy from the Red- faced tribe who lived to see the Statue of Liberty
yeah, losing friends and growing up lonely is a recipe for a horrible life. but only if you let it be. the MetallicA family is here for you @gymandthelifeoutside3966
You're not alone who felt that. I always considered my self as worthy of having a beautiful life packed with friends, girlfriends , joy and happiness but even if I didn't have all these things and I wont see what might have been if I had been myself and had full confidence in my childhood and teenage years.. I know that in the end we will all be alone and die alone, so its better to love oneself and myself first
Brings back memories. Remember me and and dad used to play Guitar Hero, and all we played was Metallica lol. Miss those days man. Rock on brothers and sister. Long live Metallica
When we're young, we listen with our dads for the music, when we get older, it comes to be a meaning
It's my birthday. I guess this the perfect song to start my day.
Happy birthday
Sure
its kinda sad song for a birthday.
go with something form Kill em all next time
Me and my 6 just turned 7 year old blast this every morning on the way to his school he loves Metallica, Def Leppard, Scorpions, etc..I feel like I’m doing something right as a parent after all🤘🏻 #MetallicaAndJusticeForAll🤘🏻
chelsea brewer great parent 🙏💯
Bad_vibes_gaming thanks man, I’m trying 😂
Very neat, but no Guns n roses is like eggs and bacon but no bacon.
Kavron oh he loves Guns N’ Roses too! I couldn’t list them all too many to count 😂
@@itschelseamf4034 greeaaaaattt you are the perfect parents! Greetins from Córdoba, Argentina
I've heard many people say that young people don't really understand the lyrics. Well that's just plain BS. I'm 17 and understand them perfectly because they're relatable. As a kid, I was constantly abused by my father, from a little kid to 12. That's when I ran away to my mother. Either way, it's an amazing song and an amazing band
The lyrics are so accurate still today! Teenager I didnt understand every word (i speak french) but now yes and bring tears to my eyes
This song talks to me. I'm 75 years old. This songs puts into words what I've felt all my life but could not put into words myself! The feeling of utter loneliness when for some reason you don't understand, your the odd man out. When your always the new kid. When your an adult your the F.N.G. When you make it home from an undeclared war and your the bad guy. When Democrats think your too conservative and Republicans say your too liberal. When you live in the north everyone calls you hillbilly and when you move back south people are offended when you fly the Stars and Bars. This song is the mantra for ones that just don't fit in anywhere.
This songs about being a good man.
@@jasongraham4425 First... Wow.
Its sad to know they have enslaved you to such a degree. Or maybe you are really young if you are
A "good" man is usually someones punk. A woman, a religion an institution whatever. Fuck being a "good" man. Most of youse guys don't even know how to be a man.
@@allahtunuevesuntzu5059 okay it's about being a man. I say it's about being a good one because yeah. Most of you guys dont even know how to be a man.
@@jasongraham4425 The song is clearly a horrific tell of a young child who becomes a do boy and never reaches his potential. I'm really confused why you think someone who had his identity, thoughts, characteristics and eventually his life snuffed out is good. Smh
@@allahtunuevesuntzu5059 hahaha yeah I guess he deserved to be shit on by the world for being so selfless right?
Such a sad and beautiful song, it always plays with your emotions, whatever how many times you listen to it.. even to this day, it has the same effect on me, I shed a few tears each time.
Agreed
Fucking aye
Hey I'm Ninoooo!!
Fucking aye. Again
Ikr
Any other men relate to this as they try to figure out what their lives have meant?
This is probably the best song every written. Hands down.
finally some real fucking music
This truly is a Metallica masterpiece. "Never free, never me, so I dub thee Unforgiven!! We sat around the fire tonight singing this!!
High school in Washington State let out the last time in June 1980. This song with it's GONG bell sound played often, but I was always--too busy-- to listen to it's lyrical message.
At 40 years old the lyrics began playing in my head--at least I do not hear plain old voices in my head--while I was praying my frustrations away. What is this, God, that seems to know I was coming to California before I did, and stands in my way at every perfect crossroad? Is this the flaming sword? Is it the heathen? Are these the UNFORGIVEN?
i want this song in my funeral
