主题：感受Metallica的铁汉柔情The Unforgiven

METALLICA〔金属乐队〕，世界首屈一指的重金属乐队。难能可贵的是，在音乐风潮变幻多番的欧美摇滚乐坛，METALLICA一直不曾随波逐流，始终坚持自己纯正的重金属音乐风格。乐队的成员每人都深怀绝技，这也正是METALLICA仗以辉煌20余年在同时期成名的重金属乐队早已销声匿迹的时候仍然屹立于摇滚乐坛的真正原因。

听过METALLICA的歌曲，就会发现他们的主音吉他(Kirk Hammett)非常厉害，几乎每首歌曲中的大段吉他SOLO都具有非常的难度且极为耐听。最为难得的是主唱James Hetfield的超绝嗓音和唱功，James Hetfield的嗓音高亢时如钛金一般铿锵，却也有其柔和的一面。

《The Unforgiven》这首他们的柔情作品正好把James Hetfield刚柔并济的嗓音展露无遗。在一声像极的汽笛中，一连串听似简单却蕴含极高难度的吉他合弦逐步展开了前奏部分，紧随之贝司演绎出了音乐的主线，主唱刚劲沧桑的嗓音在音乐初始充分展现了他声线的粗犷特点，歌声比较“重”、“噪”，然而随之一转，James Hetfield开始以难得展现的柔缓嗓音演绎音乐的承接部分,what I"ve felt / whatI"ve known / nevershined through in what I"ve shown/never be /never see /won"t see what might have been.....那柔情中迸发的激情！那柔和中蕴含的沧桑!那强烈的人文关怀和反战呼声和悲情伤意,每次听来都会深深震撼人心，催人泪下。METALLICA无愧于重金属音乐头牌乐队的荣誉，而这首《The Unforgiven》也堪称这些摇滚老将柔情曲中的典范之作。

The Unforgiven

New blood joins this earth
and quickly he"s subdued
through constant pain 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
