Unforgiven II Reviews:
The Unforgiven 
2003-07-13 - This is a beautiful song that amongst all childeren can relate to james also displays the melody he has in his voice that he does in nothing else matters this song though is about how james could never forgive his parents for the stuff they did this song is a master piece and also featured on the best album of all time The Black Album
Metallica goes country!
2000-07-25 - I love this song looks like Metallica is doing some country thats cool because I listen to country to. Metallica rocks!
A good addition to a Metallica collection. 
2000-07-05 - I have always thought that The Unforgiven 2 pales in comparison to the original, and that is the main reason that I haven't given this the full 5 stars that the live tracks would be worth. The live tracks are all well performed, and being recorded in what is actually a nightclub here in the UK, you get the genuine impression of a really good and close atmosphere.b A good buy, but only if you like live tracks, otherwise this may be worth avoiding.
Cool Single
2000-01-11 - A cool single. The live tracks were great and the demo of the Unforgiven II was ledgendary. A great demo to have for one of the best metallica songs ever. This will become a rare single in time.
COUNTRY? Are you insane?
1999-12-15 - Okay, people, let's get one thing straight right now: Metallica is nowhere near country. It seems to be the new mantra for those wishing to bash the "new" Metallica, but only makes them look even more ignorant. A song is not made country by tossing in an acoustic guitar or slowing the tempo, contrary to the beliefs of many fools. As opposed to the bozos that keep harping on this supposed "country"ness of Metallica, I LISTEN to country as well as Metallica, and listened for years before I knew who Metallica was. I don't pretend to be an expert on Metallica, but I do know what's country, and trust me, they ain't it.
"Unforgiven II," continuing the story of "The Unforgiven" from the (in)famous "black album," is a terrific song. (I'll leave the arguing over whether it's "proper" Metallica to people who have more time on their hands than I do.) The storyline is Metallica-dark and the music complements it well. It's worth having if only to find out how "The Unforgiven" ends, but stands just as well on its own.
Country, though? Please. Either learn more about country music or find another epithet to hurl at the band.
