James in this period was an extraordinary composer and a real poet. Not so many words, but a very deep meaning. They will be my favourite band forever

That's the same feeling I had the first time I heard this band. It's the feeling of hearing real music for the first time, IMO.

I like how you're not afraid to replay larger portions of the songs. It really shows your passion.

No need to be apologetic about getting emotional, music often does that to us, I thought that your reaction was really beautiful 🌹<br>I see that someone else has suggested to you The Warning, their journey started with their cover of Enter Sandman back in 2014. They’re 3 sisters from Monterrey Mexico, they sing mostly in English (which they were heavily criticised by the Mexican critics) but they ignored them because they knew even then in their early teens that to get a worldwide audience that was what was needed. They were 9, 12 and 14 when they performed that cover, now 27million+ views! They’re now one of the best live rock bands in the world. They’re toured with Muse, Three Days Grace, The Pretty Reckless, Foo Fighters, G&R, and many more and have had two worldwide headlining tours of the world the past two years and are currently on their third.<br>Part of the reason that their Enter Sandman video went viral was that Metallica shared it on their Facebook group and endorsed them for being so good for their years. Their next connection with Metallica was their involvement in the 30th Anniversary of the Black album - the Blacklist album, it’s the #1 track and was a collaboration with Alessia Cara the R&B artist!<br>I hope you might be interested in them, they have a worldwide passionate group of followers called The Warning Army - I’m from the UK division!

You're feeling all of the emotions that the song's journey takes you on. All of the highs and lows. It's a masterpiece in production, song writing, and lyrics.

Seeing you getting into music I grew up with is making me very happy Lirtz! This album is when Metallica really became huge, so many people discovered them when it came out. "One" is another great one from this album, I highly recommend the music video version. Great reaction!😃♥

Really enjoyed the reaction!! I like how you do the pauses to reflect and then replay and everything- the intro is very western, some of the notes and beats are like straight out of Good Bad and the Ugly or coulda been, nice observation. song was great, instrumentals and soft vocals contrast, I like the long playtime! It needs to marinate, lovely melancholy. Thanks Lirtzie! 🖤💔

This and Dyers Eve are my 2 favorite songs. Speaks to my soul. I relate.

A couple of brother's from my childhood, this was their favorite song of all time, they requested that it would be played on their funerals! so i had to listen to it A LOT! this is a good song, among my favorites from metallica for sure! iirc they made 3 "versions" of unforgiven, like 3 different stages of his life or whatever, this is probably the "slowest"/calmest one of them, but i do enjoy the second one aswell!<br>Glad u enjoyed! i bet when u where starting this metal journey, u didnt think it would bring this much tears? :face-red-heart-shape:<br>❤ ofcourse! if u know u know!

Beautiful reaction. If this excited you, you have to listen to "fade to black."

❤ Great reaction, Lirtzie!<br><br>It's such a powerful song, love it! And they actually made two other follow-up songs that are called "The Unforgiven II" and "The Unforgiven III". I really like all of them.<br>The second one is from an album that isn't much liked by the core Metallica fans, because it's very different from what they're known for. I personally like all of them and since you liked this one, you might also like it.<br><br>Hope you're well, Lirtzie! Can't wait to join you on another part of your journey! 🎵🎶
