Well, it could always say in the lyrics "cause you're unforgiven three".
Well, number two goes "What I've felt, what I've known / sick and tired I stand alone / could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you / or are you unforgiven too?". According to a quick calculation of the combinatorial properties inolved, the new song should go something like this: "What I've felt, what I've known / is never found in a pine cone / do you have some, 'cause I've been looking hard for thee / or are you just an old oak tree?".
On the other hand i find the opening lyrics to the Unforgiven (I) interesting:
New blood joins this earth
and quickly he's subdued
through constipate disgrace
the young boy learns their rules
On the other hand, the new lyrics could go something like this:
"What i've felt, what i've known / is all the ***** that i have blown / is this the one, or will i never become free / this is the Unforgiven III"
Truth be said, i prefer rahvin's version.
*****=songs
The two Unforgiven tracks IMO show Metallica's change/decline fairly well. The original had good lyrics, was fairly original, decent vocals, and was very poignant. The second had poor lyrics in comparison, was a rehash of the first song, just worse, James picked up a southern drawl, and the whole song felt like an attempt to cash in on their previous work.
I hope they take Unforgiven III in a different direction.

I listened to them one after the other just today, and i couldn't agree more. Especially the accent and the way he draws the end of the words in UII are awful. Not to mention the bad english... (If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you?)
The first one is an amazing song though...
I heard a while back that for the first Unforgiven Hetfield was made to repeat the line "I dub thee Unforgiven" over fifty times to get it right, and in general he was pushed very hard to make the song sound perfect.
It's painfully obvious this focus was severly lacking in the second one, it feels like it lacks any true dedication, and I get the feeling they themselves know this, hence why they only ever played it live once.
I think the third one will have a lot more focus put into it to rectify the mistakes of the second installment.... hence why it may not be a disaster.

Pretty funny, but with our luck, it'll be a rap song featuring Soulja Boy, with this chorus rapped by Hetfield:
What I've felt
What I've known
Recycled by us nu-metal clones
Never be
Never see
How retirement could have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Songs with less thought than a cheap ringtone
Torrents free
But never me
Please pay for Unforgiven III

I wonder if they'll make a stupid dance to go with it too involving snapping fingers.
Hahaha that made me laugh.
Eerily enough, i also had the thought that it might involve rap, yo!

Thanks.
Wow, that's one song that goes downhill fast. And it's got a lot of time to keep doing so after what would be rock bottom for any regular band.
See, you all have to admit punk music listeners like me at least are off the hook after 3 minutes stuck with a bad idea. This shit never ends. Whatever possesses you to string together 2 minutes of a decent (although trite) melodic guitar, 4 minutes of same-old same-old \metal/ song people got bored with in 1991, then 3 more bloody minutes of instrumental wankery under the pretense that, well, that's FAST wankery.
