Although I missed their heyday due to being a child at the time, I've recently discovered the wonders of Metallica through a wonderful cover they did of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Tuesday's Gone. I've found some gems in my journey, and today I'd like to present to you a series of three songs throughout their career that together tell an epic tale of one man's life. The music is just exquisite.

The Unforgiven (1991)

The Unforgiven II (1997)

The Unforgiven III (2008)

Bonus: Tuesday's Gone (Cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's original)

Rock the fuck on.

The Unforgiven song's have always been some of my favorite Metallica songs. I haven't heard Tuesday's Gone before, thanks for sharing.

The original is amazing, I had no clue they made more.

But apocalyptica's covers are FUCKING AMAZING. Their cover of the unforgiven and one are so great to listen to over and over.

I was addicted to their songs when I was in high school, it was like the first time I got into rock and fell in love with it right away.

In general I don't like metal that much, but some of the slow, melodic, I don't know what to call them, songs of metallica are so nice. Sandman, One, Unforgiven III, I love those songs.

Apocalyptica has some amazing covers of Metallica, not just The Unforgiven.

vk has a lot of covers of Metallica. All of them are amazing.

But, as awesome as they are, they can't beat the originals.

My favorite song would be a tough one, but I would probably have to go with Sad But True. The rest of their black album is awesome too though.
