it doesnt matter if they think this is a fail performance... they had to play all the unforgivens back to back during their 30th anniversary... someone tell me that they did... coz i wasnt there its just from what ive heard
This shows that kirk plays the songs by tabs or da way he wrote it initially... but many of the guitarist play it by ear..., which is why they r so good wid improvisation...
Anyways, except a few bugs... I love this performance...
i´m agree with @lionshanic, it sounds like untunned, and kirks edit the guitar solo maybe he was on a bad time and jason didnt support wiht backing vocals = (
Yikes....I fuckin love metallica and this performance is aweful. Tooo fast for one thing...and where is the beauty in the guitar playing. I'm not sure about the new guy. And that hurts to say because I fuckin love metallica.
@KingVerdo From what I heard, the guys felt it came off sounding so poorly here that they didn't care to try another live performance. Of course, that sound skeptical since James always said playing TV sucked ass due to the shitty quality of the audio setup. Plus, like with "One" at the Grammy's, they were forced to cut a chunk of the song out for time constraints.
I think they should have played this song for the first and last time in one of their last shows of the World Magnetic Tour, they did that with The Call Of Ktulu.
@92civichonda It's a special model with a mechanism called a "b bender" which allows him to do those twangy whole tone bends. I think he uses it on the song 'Ronnie' as well.
Side note: Kirk's guitar sounds a little out of tune here.
@92civichonda Yea the Fender is a B bender my buddy has one, you notice he pushes the guitar down where the strap is connected, it bends the b string a whole note, its pretty cool
@stinger12345 If actually sit down and listen to the songs on those albums, objectively, without just coming to the conclusion they suck because they "arent metal" you would find that there are alot of great songs on those albums.
@DinamicTree think before you speak man!.. damn how hard is it to figure out to simply search the song name anywhere to get a better quality verison of this song..
Metallica sound so lost durin dis era, listn to kirks shit solo, what happnd to kirk on ride the lightning ohh thats rite dave mustain wrote that song!! Metallica miss Cliff Burton and need Dave mustaine!!!, dave mustaine made metallica cliff burton drove metlica to its peak, listen to kill em all and listn to megadeths new album, and metallicas new album youil get my point, dave mustaine and Cliff would never let this shit come from metallica
@fras888 you got a point, but i think this is something cliff'd allow tbh... i listen to fade to black and i hear so much similar to it...
mustaine would never let metallica release this stuff, but at the same time, metallica wouldn't be as big as they are today, cause we need mainstream stuff sometimes.
no words to decribe the epicness and awesomness.to bad that metallica is more hated in israel,its amazing that im a kid-teen but i understand t6he awesomeness of metallica.
his guitar is so out of tune in the beginning, it does not sound like the real song on that part but, Still, I cant believe that this song was only performed once, its crazy.
that's why they haven't play it again since this performance, but why it sounded so bad? guitar's wrong tuning?? the speakers??? what the hell happened??? WE WANNA LISTEN TO IT AGAIN LIVEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
then they can fix the problem, why the fuck they dont play it live again??? It would be amazing if they played the 3 unforgiven songs for the live debut of the 3rd one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEEEVERRRRR FREEEE, NEVEEEERRR MEEEEE EEEEEEE!!!!!!
then they can fix the problem, why the fuck they dont play it live again??? It would be amazing if they play the 3 unforgiven songs for the LIVE debut of the 3rd one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEEEVERRRRR FREEEE, NEVEEEERRR MEEEEE EEEEEEE!!!!!!
I don't know what it is but something is just lacking from this performance. I'm not sure if it is the sound quality, or if this song is really just better or meant for the studio. Which to me is very unlike metallica, their best shit is always live.
there isnt anything with his playing this is live its obviously going to be different ,and who are you to tell a band how to play their own songs as they may sound bad to you but theyre songs obviously keep them their jobs and get them enough fans ,which you would know already if you had ever been to a metallica concert
I was just listening to the song Children of the Damned by Iron Maiden, and I do agree that it sounds similar to The Unforgiven 2 at the beginning, but that is as far as the similarity goes
I hate Fagets who look up metallica vids to talk trash shit i bet i could play this u people just talk trash because u cant do anything they've accomplished
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why is everybody such a jackass when it comes to metallica... yes they made great records, yes they are rock history... but anyways even a good band can screw u a performance or a record or both... and i'm not an asshole only because they failed. especially kirk, right at the beginning, playing a lick that makes you wanna throw up because he's so outta tune and time. period
I agree with you TehTripleT, I love Metallica, they are an amazing band but this performance is terrible! And that shit happens, sometimes you have a good one and sometimes you don't and that's the life of a performer.
