To be fair there metal2death, I'm sure loads of bands have written a song called End Of The Line, it's a pretty common song title and not just in metal. Plus My Apocalypse has probably been used before several times too as alot of titles in metal tend to use that word any way they can, for example my band has a song called Apocalyptic lol.

I'll agree that we don't need Unforgiven III though, that's a bit overkill.

At least Unforgiven II coudl be sung as "You're unforgiven too." I don't think "You're unforgiven three" makes much sense :-)

Finally!!!!! a solid release date! Only 7 weeks to go. It had better be worth all the hype!

"unforgiven 3" is kinda troubling though.

I really haven't heard Hetfield sing on this album yet. But if he starts to sing like a p***y, im done with Metallica. Its been way too long to wait for an album like Master of Puppets or all their thrash stuff. I've given St. Anger a chance, but this is the last straw.

many of you have already heard the "Remember Tomorrow" Cover... the guitar sound is awesome! so are the drums, you can also really hear the bass!!! (and the fingers vs picking)
You are not going to get the old Metallica, I'm sorry, you are also not going to get the LOAD metallica. St Anger was a good start to getting to where they need to be... the next step is "Death Magnetic". I'm with the majority... when I heard the album title... I cringed, When I saw the Album Cover... I cringed, when I read "The Unforgiven 3" I cringed... but after some time I kinda like the Album Name and Cover... the titles just dropped today so give me a few days...

Metallica is releasing "Death Magnetic" with a lot of promotion from Warner, because we have a lot of time on our hands without a single or a solid 30 seconds of new music (including lyrics) we can only speculate. We've heard way too many reviews on the 6 songs previewed from June 3rd... they don't even match up in regards to the "Single" "Flamingo"... one claims it has a picking intro, one claims it has a drum intro with prog/stop and starts... one Flames Metallica for 3 bad songs and 3 good songs... the other saying they are all amazing...

Bottom Line: Don't judge at least until the first single, hold your hate inside for a little bit, or keep excited!

I don't know, hopefully it's cool, but "Unforgiven 3" seems totally unnecessary.

I think that unforgiven 3 will be an heavy song, they put it in there just to throw us off. We'll see by I hope you all remember that I called the shot.

I've thought of a way they could use "Unforgiven Three" in the lyrics. It's not the greatest idea but perhaps I'll turn out to be right. Anyways, what if Unforgiven III is about a group of three people? It could even be refering to James, Lars and Kirk themselves and how they're still unforgiven by the metal community for releasing albums like St. Anger and Load. Just a thought.

It very well could b oz that would make a lot of sense and it seems like something they might do who knows. The cover of Iron Maiden's Remember Tomorrow I thought was very good I think its the best piece of work they have put out in a very long time. I say again BEST DECISION THEY'VE EVER MADE BY GETTING RID OF BOB ROCK.

Seems all fine with me. I don't care about album covers / titles etc etc as long as the album rocks. Sept 16th? Looking forward to it! I for one will have a good listen before I'll stomp on it, if there is a reason for it. Good stuff

Yes, Yes, I do love their old stuff, but I'm not dumb enough to think that that's going to come back. I'm looking forward to the new album. I love Metallica, but I gotta hear the 3rd Unforgiven b-4 I judge that. I honestly hope the album regains some fans. Good thing I'm still a fan & I don't regret saying that!!!!!!!!

I'll admit that the band has made some disappointing material, but their cover of "Remember Tomorrow" turned me around. Hope the album is good.

It's about fu**in time we have a release date. As far as unforgiven 3 is concerned, I just have to hear it for myself (even though that sounds pretty weird). I'm not going to prejudge the album. Just hope and pray that this album kicks a**. I'll still have much love and respect for metallica.... even if all else fails.

It's funny how people bag Metallica when they are, and always will be, one of the most influential bands in history; regardless of your opinion of them. Those are the facts. I would like to see you do better. Long live Metallica!!

I was a little surprised when I saw the Unforgiven III on the track listing. But I think, having not yet heard the song, that it will be good. I have high hopes for this new album. And I did like St. Anger, although it was not their best album. There will never be anything that can measure up to Master of Puppets, but perhaps this new album will be closer to that sound.
