This is a sequel to their 1991 song "Unforgiven." Both songs start with the same extended note. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
The boy in the video is the same boy from the first "Unforgiven" video. In the first one, he was about 8 years old. In this one, he's about 14.
This was written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for above 2)
Metallica have rarely played this live. The song was first aired during the band's December 1997 performance at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Metallica performed the track live for the second time ever on May 29, 2015 at the Rock Im Revier festival in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
