Check out my profile for lots of other vids:)
It's not perfect, but I sat there in front of the camera maybe an hour to perfect it...
And sorry for the bad pull-offs:S
Here's some facts about this song:
"To Live Is to Die" is a song on Metallica's fourth studio album, ...And Justice for All.
It is a tribute to their former bassist Cliff Burton who was killed in a bus crash in 1986. Burton actually wrote the riffs for the song a few months before he died. The song contains a few lyrics near the end of the song, coming in at 7:35, that were written by Burton and are spoken by James Hetfield. Part of these lyrics are inspired by the 1981 film Excalibur and Stephen R. Donaldson's Lord Foul's Bane of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever fantasy series:
Referenced excerpt from Excalibur: Arthur: Which is the greatest quality of knighthood? Merlin: Truth. That's it. Yes. It must be truth, above all. When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.
Referenced excerpt from Lord Foul's Bane: These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives for all the scents of green things growing, each breath is but an exhalation of the grave. Bodies jerk like puppet corpses, and hell walks laughing.
This is the only track on the album in which Jason Newsted's bass guitar is actually audible during the middle part of the song, during the melodic rhythm riffs and guitar solos. The bass was thought to have been turned all the way down in the album.
This song is also notable for its second guitar solo, which is played by Hetfield instead of Kirk Hammett.
This is also the second-longest original studio song released on a Metallica album, at 9 minutes and 48 seconds. It is second only to The Outlaw Torn, from Load, which is only a second longer.

Me playing Metallica - The Unforgiven.
I played the acoustic parts, with Guitar Pro 5 playing in the background. I made the guitar pro parts myself:)
I'm not very proud of this video because I made many mistakes and I think I set the Guitar Pro to loud:(
And sorry that I fucked up at the chord parts near the end.
"The Unforgiven" is one of the slower songs on the self-titled album, Metallica (also known as the Black Album). It also has a sequel, in the form of "The Unforgiven II", from the album ReLoad.
Drummer Lars Ulrich explained that the band wanted to try something new with the idea of a ballad - instead of the standard melodic verse and heavy chorus (as evidenced on their previous ballads "Fade to Black", "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" and "One"), the band opted to reverse the dichotomy, with heavy, distorted verses and a softer, melodic chorus, played with classical guitars and James Hetfield's new-found singing voice crooning "So I dub thee unforgiven".
The drum & horn intro was essentially taken from a Western movie and then reversed so its source would be hidden, as Hetfield later explained on "Classic Albums: Metallica - The Black Album". The band has never disclosed what movie the sound was taken from, although it is strongly reminiscent of a segment of Ennio Morricone's "The showdown" from the movie "For a few dollars more".
"The Unforgiven" was played live as part of Metallica's Nowhere Else To Roam world tour which lasted from 1991-1993, in support of the Black Album. It was played again on the Madly in Anger with the World world tour in 2003-2004 and the Escape from the Studio '06 tour. It has most recently been played as part of the 'Sick of the Studio' tour.
The live version of the song includes a second solo near the end of the song, something the original recording did not have.
nterestingly enough, similar riffs to the rhythm guitar riff of "The Unforgiven" was used in "Fade to Black" from the album Ride the Lightning as the riff of verses one and two (starting at 0:56) and another similar riff was used in "To Live Is to Die" (...And Justice for All) beginning at 4:56. There are also similarities in the bass riffs in "Fade to Black" and in this song.
THE UNFORGIVEN
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
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
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
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"
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee "Unforgiven"

If you are a real Metallica/Thrash Metal fan, buy their album! It's much better quality and you can be proud of having a Metallica album. Don't download music!
"The Four Horsemen" is the second track on Metallica's 1983 album Kill 'Em All. The original song, called "The Mechanix", had different lyrics, and was written during the time when Dave Mustaine was Metallica's guitarist. After Dave Mustaine was ejected from the band, he included it on Megadeth's first album, Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!, with the title slightly shortened to just "Mechanix", with the original lyrics, and a much faster tempo. After he left, James Hetfield rewrote the lyrics and Kirk Hammett added a new, melodic guitar solo in the middle of the song. This section is not played when Metallica performs this song live.
"The Four Horsemen" is a definite fan-favorite song of Metallica, and is commonly played live by the band. The title also served as a source for one of the band's nicknames.
The lyrics, as the title suggests, are about the end of the world and the apocalypse. Referring to the biblical text about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. However, many believe the song is about Metallica themselves as the "horsemen."
Lyrical Mistake
The lyrics (below) refer to the horsemen as Time, Famine, Pestilence and Death, however Time is not a horseman - however, [War] is.
Lyrics:
Time, has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack your face
Famine, your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence, for what you had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death, deliverance for you for sure
Now there's nothing you can do
THE FOUR HORSEMEN
By the last breath the fourth winds blow
Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knock at your door
Lock up your wife and children now
It's time to wield the blade
For now you've got some company
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the Four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
You have been dying since the day you were born
You know it's all been planned
The quartet of deliverance rides
A sinner once, a sinner twice
No need for confessions now
'Cause now you've got the fight of your life
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the Four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
Time has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack your face
Famine, your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence, for what you had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death, deliverance for you for sure
Now there's nothing you can do
So gather 'round young warriors now
And saddle up your steeds
Killing scores with demon swords
Now is the death of doers of wrong
Swing the judgement hammer down
Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the Four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die

Metallica - (Anesthesia)- Pulling Teeth.
Check out my profile for all the other songs:)
"(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" is an instrumental piece by Metallica bassist Cliff Burton and is featured on Metallica's 1983 debut album Kill 'Em All. Besides bass, the piece contains a voice intro of "Bass solo, take one" and the addition of Lars Ulrich on drums at 2:28.
The piece is a bass solo that showcases Burton's skills and techniques as well as his influences: Classical music and Baroque music, Geddy Lee from Rush, Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath, Lemmy from Motörhead, and jazz bassist Stanley Clarke. Heavy fuzz (Electro-Harmonix Big Muff), tapping, and a wah-wah pedal are used by Burton to produce many of the unique sounds that can be heard throughout the piece.
It is the only original Metallica track in which James Hetfield does not have a writing credit and one of two in which Lars Ulrich doesn't (the other is Motorbreath). The first half of the song is neo-classical and underscores the classical influence that Cliff brought to the band.

"Whiplash" is the sixth track and first single from Metallica's 1983 album Kill 'Em All. It is credited to James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich.
Metallica - Whiplash
Whiplash is about the feeling one experiences when headbanging. ("...thrashing all around, acting like a maniac, whiplash!..")
Trivia * Often in concert, James will change the original lyric from "But we'll never stop, we'll never quit, 'cause we're Metallica" to "But we'll never stop, we'll never quit, 'cause you're Metallica" emphasizing that it is the fans who've made Metallica what they are. * It may well be a tribute to Motörhead. The song has a similar theme to that band's track "(We Are) The Road Crew", particularly the final verse's lyrics. * In live performances, Jason Newsted often sang for part or all of the song, notably in recorded footage in San Diego, California. * He also sang it without James Hetfield on the stage 14 July 2000 in 3Com Park San Francisco. James was having a beer while Kirk Hammet, Jason and Lars Ulrich performed. * In live performances Kirk Hammet and James Hetfield used to play different solos at the same time, achieving harmony at some points * In 2005, Motörhead won their first Grammy for the cover of this song on a Metallica tribute album. * Whiplash is also on Tony Hawk's Underground 2. * It was covered by Billy Milano, Scott Ian, Philip Soussan, and Vinny Appice for Metallic Assault: A Tribute to Metallica. * Pantera, using the joke name "Pantallica", performed the song live with Jason Newsted on bass, and members Dimebag Darrell (guitar) and Philip Anselmo (vocals) switching instruments.
WHIPLASH
Late at night, all systems go, you've come to see the show
We do our best, you're the rest, you make it real, you know
There is a feeling deep inside that drives you fucking mad
A feeling of a hammerhead, you need it oh so bad
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash
Bang your head against the stage like you never did before
Make it ring, make it bleed, make it really sore
In a frenzied madness with your leather and your spikes
Heads are bobbing all around, it's hot as hell tonight
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash
Here onstage the Marshall noise is piercing through your ears
It kicks your ass, kicks your face, exploding feeling nears
Now's the time to let it rip, to let it fucking loose
We're gathered here to be with you 'cause this is what we choose
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash
The show is through, the metal's gone, it's time to hit the road
Another town, another gig, again we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways, life out here is raw
But we'll never stop, we'll never quit, 'cause we're Metallica
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac

Metallica - Seek & Destroy.
Check out my profile for all the other songs:)
"Seek & Destroy" is the ninth track on Metallica's 1983 album Kill 'Em All. It was written by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. The song has been frequently played in concerts over the years since its live debut in 1982.
The song has become a fan favorite and has been played at virtually every Metallica concert since the band's inception. It is sometimes played as a closing number for their live performances, with James often asking the audience to sing along with him when he shouts, "Seek and destroy!"
The most memorable renditions of the song occurred during the years 1991, 1992 and 1993 for the Wherever We May Roam Tour. Here Seek & Destroy was played with Jason Newsted singing vocals, however at the end of the song the band would commence in a jam for a few minutes until James took the microphone and continually had the audience sing the lines "Seek and destroy!" Hetfield also went to the edge of the barriers holding off the crowd and got them to sing the lines individually. The song length went from an average of 7 minutes to an average of 16 minutes for the elongated concert version of the Black Album tour. On the band's 2007 Sick of the Studio '07 tour it became a regular closing song at the end of the band's set.
The song is about feeling the urge to kill. It can be inferred from the lyrics that it's not senseless killing but as revenge to someone that very much deserved it. It is said to be heavily influenced by the Diamond Head song "Dead Reckoning".
A performance of the song with Cliff Burton on bass in 1985, is available on the DVD Cliff 'Em All. Newer live versions can also be found in the Live Shit box set (with Jason Newsted singing the lead vocal) and the Cunning Stunts DVD.
This was also the theme song of former WCW and current TNA wrestler Sting and AAA wrestler Cibernetico. In Sting's case, the song was a live recording from Woodstock '99.
Kirk Hammett has since confessed and apologized for the unusual pitch of the string bend which occurs at 3:46, during the solo, is in fact a mistake or "bum note".
During the documentary film about Metallica, Some Kind of Monster, the song is used when footage of the band down the years is shown highlighting the progression in the band's appearance and sound over time. In the book Metallica: This Monster Lives one of the film's directors said how initially they wanted to alter the footage so it flowed smoothly but soon noticed the value of showing the alteration in the band in each piece of footage.
The song has been covered by Chuck Billy, Jake E. Lee, Jimmy Bain, and Aynsley Dunbar for the album Metallic Assault: A Tribute to Metallica. The song has also been covered by thrash metal band Testament and instrumentally by Freaklabel as part of a tribute medley.
SEEK & DESTROY
We're scanning the scene in the city tonight
We're looking for you to start up a fight
There's an evil feeling in our brains
But it's nothing new, you know it drives us insane

Dying, one thousand deaths

You have always been taking but now you're giving

Dying, one thousand deaths

Our brains are on fire with the feeling to kill
And it won't go away until our dreams are fulfilled
There is only one thing on our minds
Don't try running away, 'cause you're the one we will find
Running, on our way
Hiding, you will pay
Dying, one thousand deaths
Running, on our way
Hiding, you will pay
Dying, one thousand deaths

Metallica - The Call Of Ktulu (When Hell Freezes Over)
Check out my profile for all the other songs:)
The Call of Ktulu is the title of an instrumental composition by the metal band Metallica, released on their second studio album, Ride the Lightning in 1984. It was inspired by the writings of H. P. Lovecraft, particularly The Call of Cthulhu. The Call of Ktulu was Metallica's second recorded instrumental, and first in which the entire band played together.
This is one of the few Metallica songs to have been largely written by lead guitarist Dave Mustaine and was originally entitled "When Hell Freezes Over." Late bassist Cliff Burton was a huge Lovecraft fan and it is likely he was responsible for the title change.
This goes some way toward explaining why the main arpeggios in this song are played note for note as chords in the Megadeth song, "Hangar 18". It was also used in the Megadeth song "When" from their album The World Needs A Hero.
The song is also notable for being the longest Metallica song as of the release of Ride the Lightning, with a length of nearly nine minutes (8:53 to be exact), and still remains their fourth longest studio recording (discounting the cover songs "Mercyful Fate" and "Tuesday's Gone" from the cover album Garage Inc.).
The song was re-arranged by Michael Kamen for Metallica's 1999 S&M project and won a Grammy for the best rock instrumental performance.
Trivia * An uncredited MIDI soundalike version appeared in the 1993 computer game Doom on Episode 2, Map 2. * The song is also spelt Ktulu due to the legend in Lovecraft's stories which say Cthulhu (the monster) is summoned when pronouncing/spelling its name correctly

Metallica - Fade To Black.
Check out my profile for all the other songs:)
"Fade to Black" is a song by thrash metal band Metallica from their second album, Ride the Lightning (1984). It was the first musical ballad released by the band.
Some people consider the lyrical theme to be about a person who has decided to commit suicide; others do not share this view. In an interview with lead vocalist James Hetfield on the set of the production "MTV Icon: Metallica" in 2005, he does recall how himself and bandmate Lars Ulrich were obsessed with death at the time the album and song were produced. It was written after almost all of their equipment, including a very rare amplifier, given to singer/rhythm guitarist James Hetfield by his mother just before she died, was stolen in Boston, MA, following a gig at the Channel Club on 14th January 1984. This event forced Metallica to borrow equipment from fellow tour band and friends, Anthrax, for the remainder of the tour.
It begins with an acoustic guitar introduction and becomes progressively heavier as the song goes on.
At the time, some of the more extreme elements of fans deemed the song a "sell out" as it was such a departure from Metallica's then-normal style, but since its release, "Fade To Black" has been a fan favorite and a fixture in Metallica's live performances. It was also the last song that Metallica performed live with Jason Newsted. Jason's last gig was at the VH1 Music Awards on November 30, 2000. It was one of Newsted's favorite Metallica songs, and was said to be of great sentimental value to him, although it had been written before he had joined the band. Interestingly, Jason Newsted's old band, Flotsam And Jetsam, performed a song called 'Fade To Black' on their 1986 album, Doomsday For The Deceiver before Jason left to join Metallica, although it bears little to no resemblance to the Metallica version.
This was also the song that Metallica had been playing the opening of during their infamous concert at Montreal's Olympic Stadium in 1992, when James Hetfield suffered second-and-third degree burns from a pyrotechnic accident.
The song is credited to Hetfield/Ulrich/Burton/Hammett.
The song's title is never mentioned in the lyrics. However, the song's title is mentioned in the track The Memory Remains off the band's 1997 album, ReLoad.
The song has been covered by: Disturbed, on their live album Music As A Weapon II, but without the heavier second half of the song; Apoptygma Berzerk, on their studio album Welcome to Earth; finnish band Apocalyptica and the power metal band Sonata Arctica.
In 1996, Norwegian black metal band Dimmu Borgir released "Master of Disharmony" in their EP Devil's Path (1996), a song contains 30seconds of the last riffs / solo of "Fade to Black" as last bridge.
Fade To Black
Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filing me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now He's gone
No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

Metallica - Ride The Lightning.
Check out my profile for all the other songs:)
"Ride the Lightning" is the title track of the 1984 album by heavy metal band Metallica. The original version of the song was found on the Horsemen Of The Apocalypse demo with Dave Mustaine and Ron McGovney. The version found on Ride the Lightning is slightly different due to input from Cliff Burton so he was credited as well as Hetfield, Ulrich and Mustaine.
The theme of the song is that of a man who has been sentenced to execution in the electric chair. He opens by acknowledging his guilt ("guilty as 'charged'"), but still questions who made the judge "God to say" that he should die. Later on the man starts to feel the fear while the execution is prepared and asks himself what he is doing in the electric chair. By the end of the song he just wants to get it over with.
It is speculated that the song is based on a 1961 episode of The Twilight Zone written by Charles Beaumont entitled "Shadow Play". The episode begins in a courtroom, where Adam Grant (Dennis Weaver) is convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to the electric chair. Shouting, "It's happening all over again!", Grant insists that his trial, conviction, and execution are all part of a recurring nightmare, and that when he dies, the world around him and all its occupants will likewise cease to exist.
In a live recording from 1983, James Hetfield states that "This one is dedicated to our friend in Georgia", leading to the possibility that it is about an actual person as opposed to fictional events.
In an interview with Guitar World magazine, James Hetfield has stated that the song is not an indictment of the death penalty, in which he is a believer, but simply an exploration of the concept of being in a terrible situation with no control.
RIDE THE LIGHTNING
Guilty as charged
But damn it, it ain't right
There's someone else controlling me
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
This can't be happening to me
Who made you God to say,
I'll take your life from you?
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
Wait for the sign
To flick the switch of death
It's the beginning of the end
Sweat, chilling cold
As I watch death unfold
Consciousness my only friend
My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
Someone help me
Oh please, God help me
They are trying to take it all away
I don't want to die
Time moving slow
The minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see
How true is this
Just get it over with
If this is true, just let it be
Wakened by horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
