James Hetfield of Metallica wrote 'The Unforgiven' about his parents... He had endured a difficult childhood under Christian science beliefs, his father left the family, and then his mom died from cancer after refusing treatments for her beliefs... It was hard becoming an introverted adult and discovering that the world in their view was a lie, and lead him to a path of alcohol abuse and reckless behavior... especially in Metallica's early days...

She suffered a stroke in 1976, when Maynard was just 11 yrs old... and she was partially paralyzed for 27 years until her death. Maynard was perplexed by her devotion to religion, despite her difficult circumstances that likely affected Maynard as well... People do not understand that their problems (addictions, disease, handicaps) eventually become others' problems when they have to take care of them. Maynard wrote 'Judith' (A Perfect Circle) and 'Wings for Marie' (Tool) about his mom.

As a teenager, this song to me was about a child being forced into a life that they did not want. Being controlled to live a specific life that one's parents deemed "correct" for a child. In the process stifling the freedom and independence and eventually crushing the spirit and soul of the child. Eventually, the child wakes up and realizes that they have been fighting against this all their life, but are powerless to prevent the eventual loss of their will, "this old man here is me". With their life now wasted and all potential to ever "see what might have been" they dub whoever destroyed them as "Unforgiven".

And if it turns out hell is very real all these comments are going to hit much differently. Religion is not "forced" on hardly anyone in American, that is just a flat out lie. There are always rare exceptions, but simple having to go to church as a kid is not forcing religion on anyone. Everyone grows and and does what they want to do as an adult. Most kids today do what they want to do as kids, they don't even have to wait to adulthood. The comments smell more of religious bigotry than anything, you all grew up and did whatever you wanted with your lives as adults.

There are 3 Unforgiven"s, My favourites in order are 1 or 3 (I can't decide) then 2. This is from the "Black" Album, it's actually called Metallica but everyone refers to it as The Black Album. This this the album that made Metallica the biggest metal band of all time.....who doesn't know Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters? This was my first Metallica album and I went back and bought all of their older albums. So if it wasn't for this album I probably wouldn't be a Metallica or Metal fan

Did you see Metallica on Howard Stern show? Miley Cyrus covered Nothing Else Matters for her album and her producer asked Elton John to do the intro and outro on piano for the song instead of guitar and while they were on Howard Stern Elton zoom called in and told them that Nothing Else Matters was one of the best songs ever written and James was visibly shaken when he said that. It was pretty awesome.

Also sounds like he never got to really be himself, to be free. His whole life was a battle, but the last battle, death, he cannot win. "The old man then prepares to die regretfully. That old man here is me." Good and sad song.

The very last album I purchased from Metallica was 'Hardwired'. At least the title track from the album is decent. I have yet to sit through the rest of it. With Slipknot, it wasn't that I didn't dig what they released, they just weren't releasing "Slipknot" albums. They started having that "Stone Sour" sound to them, and I also dig that band.

So this song is part one of three that was done over years, this being the first is about that anger and rebellion of feeling oppressed in your youth from your family or society so he can’t forgive them, the second one is about middle life where his relationships are not satisfactory and he sees his anger and betrayal from his lover and she is unforgivable also, in the third song from the viewpoint of an older man that is reflecting on his life realizing he has blamed everyone for his failures and holding him back but in fact it was him that is to blame for his decisions and failures and finally realizes he is actually the person he can never forgive.

The official video of this song really illustrated the meaning of this song. The greatest gift you can give your child is the freedom to find themselves...it's also the toughest thing a parent has to do. Protection vs freedom...so tough.

Great reaction! James proved he was a legit singer for The Unforgiven. In fact, his vocals would begin to change drastically after the Black album (e.g., vocal damage, singing lessons, wider vocal range). Check out Unforgiven 2&3; The Outlaw Torn; Bleeding Me; Hero of the Day 🤘⚡

This was an excellent craddle-to-the-grave story. A cautionary tale, illustrating how easily bullying can destroy a life. It begins with a baby boy, which the song says was more or less "f---ed at birth." Then follows that individual through his life, enduring constant bullying, becoming more and more bitter, until he is finally an elderly man on his death bed. And we see him looking back, seeing his entire life wasted. Then we reach the end and hear "That old man here is me." Surprisingly changing from third person, to first person. The brooding poetry found in these lyrics, have cemented this song as a shining, permanent piece of Americana.

black album gets a lot of crap from the 'true music /metal fans'.. and I agree that it's hardly their best work.. but this song is an undeniable masterpiece IMO. 10/10.

Gets crap from fans that loved their sound. This was like they put an AC/DC album in the metallica sleeve..... I mean I like AC/DC, but if I'm looking for thrash, this wasn't it..... the album should have been called "The Day Metallica Sold Out"

@@mikemclaughlin3306 yeah yeah.. I've been arguing with other old school metallica fans like you since I was 12. Hating the black album and then saying you like AC/DC.. is hysterically hypocritical. That beer time party band is completely commercial cock rock with no substance or edge. This song is for you.. pay close attention to the lyrics.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7WCY7Wa0c2zYqs.html

@@shanebrown4146 The sellout move would be to just making the black album over and over.. experimenting and pushing themselves in widely different styles of music on load and reload is the opposite of selling out IMO. It lead to mixed results but the entire thing was about artistic growth.

The Black Album was the first album I bought. It resonated with my spirit within during my teens (still does) and would set me up for an amazing journey into rock, metal and prog rock.
