The Unforgiven II has been preformed more than once [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by VanguardofDestruction (talk • contribs) 16:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the above link, I believe by "band" they are not referring to themselves, but by the marching band present at the airport that greeted them by playing The Unforgiven II. This can be seen in this YouTube clip: [2]. As such, I think the article should be modified to say that they only played the song once. Perwisky (talk) 14:24, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am removing the line "its complicated nature makes it a difficult song to perform regularly" since there is no such statement made by Metallica. The Unforgiven II is one of their easier songs to play. The only difficulty in playing it would be the signature B-bends throughout the verses. James employs a Telecaster with a B-bender to bend the B string up a full step while maintaining open Cadd9 and open G chords (with the thumb on the low E string, third fret). Since he owns such a guitar, there is really no difficulty in playing it. Moreover, if one does not own a B-bender, a lighter gauge B string can be used to make it easier to perform the bends properly. And even this, at most, would be 'challenging' to a novice/intermediate guitar player, but not difficult. Therefore, it is not justifiable to make such a statement.

Is there any proof that it is the same boy in both the videos? If not, I think the point should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SandMan (talk • contribs) 05:17, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this song really heavy metal? I think it sounds more like hard rock than heavy metal as such, even though it's by Metallica... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.188.79.34 (talk) 14:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have you people heared Children of the damned(iron maiden)? i think the song is derived from there.... metallica has a knoack of using iron maiden riffs (ed. don't tread on me was taken partly from holy smoke) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.182.177.177 (talk) 18:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
