https://peertube.weidensees.net/videos/watch/0d1a4e4d-eb42-4d33-8af9-00d96e5aea6c Das Musikvideo zu METALLICA - The Unforgiven (veröffentlicht 1991 auf dem legendären Black Album) ist ein bildgewaltiges, in Schwarz-Weiß gehaltenes Video unter der Regie von Wayne Isham. Es erzählt die kraftvolle Geschichte eines Jungen, der in einem fensterlosen Steinkeller gefangen ist. Im Laufe des Videos altert er durch die Isolation zu einem alten Mann . Der Junge verbringt sein ganzes Leben damit, Steinbrocken abzuklopfen, um sich ein Fenster in die Freiheit zu meißeln. Erst im hohen Alter gelingt ihm dies, doch er stellt fest, dass sein Leben bereits vorbei ist. Das Video verbildlicht die Unterdrückung des Individuums durch die Gesellschaft. Es steht symbolisch dafür, wie starre Regeln und Isolation einen Menschen ein Leben lang gefangen halten. Das Lied ist untypisch für den klassischen Thrash Metal der Band. Es ist deutlich ruhiger, melodischer und baut auf einem markanten Akustikgitarren-Intro auf. Songwriter und Sänger James Hetfield verarbeitete darin seine schwierige Kindheit. Der strenge, religiöse Glaube seiner Eltern führte als Kind oft zur Isolation in der Schule. Lyrics: New blood joins this Earth and quickly he's subdued Through constant pained disgrace, the young boy learns their rules With time the child draws in this whipping boy done wrong Deprived of all his thoughts, the young man struggles on and on He's known, ooh, a vow unto his own that never from this day His will they'll take away, yeah What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be, never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free, never me So I dub thee "Unforgiven" They dedicate their lives to running all of his He tries to please them all this bitter man he is Throughout his life the same, he's battled constantly This fight he cannot win, a tired man they see no longer cares The old man then prepares to die regretfully That old man here is me, yeah What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be, never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free, never me So I dub thee "Unforgiven" What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be, never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free, never me So I dub thee "Unforgiven," whoa Never free, never me So I dub thee "Unforgiven" You labeled me, I'll label you So I dub thee "Unforgiven" Ah, never free, never me So I dub thee "Unforgiven" You labeled me, I'll label you So I dub thee "Unforgiven" Never free, never me So I dub thee "Unforgiven" Follow Metallica https://www.metallica.com/ https://www.instagram.com/metallica https://www.facebook.com/Metallica/ https://twitter.com/Metallica #Metallica #TheUnforgiven Wed, 19 Aug 2026 03:06:39 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://peertube.weidensees.net https://peertube.weidensees.net/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://peertube.weidensees.net/videos/watch/0d1a4e4d-eb42-4d33-8af9-00d96e5aea6c All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://peertube.weidensees.net/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
