Vlad, it didn't work for me either. I don't think it is the fact that the YT link is there. I think it is the fact that you change the description after you posted the video, which updates it to the correct permissions that it isn't getting otherwise. I would try changing the description again now that you posted it.

Now it is working. I guess you will just have to get in the habit of changing the description with some bogus text (or wait to add some more helpful text) after you post the video. Again, good job in stick with this. You now have a solution.

Of course you can always remove the bogus text after add it, but only after you post it first on Patreon. I suspect it will still work. It will just take two edits rather than one. If for some weird reason it doesn't work, simply add the bogus text back in again. You can also try just removing and re-adding a single letter in your prior description so that it registers the edit, skipping the bogus text part altogether.

I enjoyed this reaction a lot. This was a song I had relegated to my past, almost having contempt for something that is so good. Your reaction was beautiful. I almost thought you should have listened to the guitar solo again. You have arrived. You get rock!!!

Amy fell in love with one of the best Metallica songs of all time! Loved this one even though I stayed up past my bedtime just to watch it. I’ve been a Metallica fan since 1986, but I have to admit I was not at all impressed with the Black Album when it was released. I’ve softened on the majority of it since then, but I do have to say The Unforgiven was one of the few songs that I enjoyed immediately on the first listen. There’s no denying it’s a great song. It is a partially autobiographical song for James Hetfield. He was raised in a strict Christian Scientist family which caused him to feel awkward in school as he was forbidden from participating in certain classes (health and sex ed. specifically) which he resented as he felt it made him and his family appear weird. Another song on The Black album called The God That Failed is about the Christian Science rejection of Western Medicine. James Hetfield’s mother passed away from cancer when he was 16 years old after refusing treatment for her illness. There was also a case of Christian Scientist parents whose child died due to their refusal to allow him to receive medical care a year before the Black Album was recorded, so it caused a lot of old angry feelings to bubble up to the surface. It’s a really good song that may be worthy of a first listen. I was pleased to hear Amy notice the change in vocal delivery by James Hetfield. It was a conscious decision on his part to actually sing the songs rather than just shout “in key” as he was once quoted as saying. He actually took voice lessons to learn how to sing again after years of aggressive singing, even though there is a blend of that old style mixed with the softer tender singing. I think James Hetfield himself would agree he also uses his voice like a guitar. I didn’t think that insulting when Amy mentioned it. I think it’s very apropos, and I’m also a guitarist. Well done as always, Amy and Vlad! 🤘🏼

That was great Amy. This song and "One" borrowed a bit from Wishbone Ash "the errors of my way" very folksy, and very melodic. Nowadays it's hard to listen to Metallica, it's a little too raw and feral for an old man. Lol

I like this one the more times I heard the song. I would not be surprised Amy, that if was you first Rock Song, you would have heard it a lot differently. Good review Amy.

I really liked this :) It's such a joy to watch you getting exited about a song. (Especially when it's a band I like myself :) ) I think very few rock bands can compete with Metalica's collection of fantastic songs. Even their hardest songs usually have a strong & interesting melody (as opposed to many other metal songs, IMO). And I agree, this intro is epic.

Harp accompaniment made the song more interesting to me

That was thoroughly enjoyable, Amy. For a much different take on the same topic, it would be interesting to hear a reaction to "Dyer's Eve" from the Justice album. There is no tenderness in that one. It is still the angriest song I have ever heard (and incredibly powerful). James' segment from the documentary "Absent" really help with understanding his history: https://youtu.be/5HfNDBQZPS8?si=7AIUoryzTMEOiA_h He is a very Lennon-esque figure (tough guy front to mask childhood trauma, then realizing years later it isn't working to any benefit in being a better person). Like many others, I share the opinion that The Black Album has a few great songs, but despite the amazing production, it is just ok. Subsequent albums range from very good (most of "Hardwired to Self-Destruct") to unlistenable ("St. Anger"). But the legacy they left behind in their earlier years is monumental. Also, like you, I love James' voice. But he blew it out on a recording session for a b-side shortly after The Black Album was recorded. It never really recovered to its former glory, despite James getting professional vocal training.

No one will believe but I really like this song. I think musically it is melodic and beautiful. The lyrics are universal to me and even the guitars are quite good. I would listen to this again.I hope no one fainted

Love this one Amy. Really glad you liked it. Another song from my teenage angst period. I remember learning this one on the guitar , as best I could anyway. The whole album is great. I think you have covered the best songs on it though. Great stuff.

Metallica had great melodies, but Van Halen had tempo and with better guitar
