New Metallica AMV

boredteen18 · Post by **boredteen18** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 7:41 pm

So as you've seen, I plan on making an AMV using music off of Metallica's new album,Death Magnetic. I've already decided in using The Unforgiven III. I need anime... a lot. It's a good 8 min. song. Any thoughts?

Here's some lyrics to help.

How could he know this new dawn’s light
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure

Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
Of the things he’s feeling
He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He would just sail on

How can I be lost?
If I’ve got nowhere to go?
Searched for seas of gold
How come it’s got so cold?
How can I be lost?
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it’s me I can’t forgive?

These days drift on inside a fog
It’s thick and suffocating
This seeking life outside its hell
Inside intoxicating
He’s run aground like his life
Water’s much too shallow
Slipping fast down with the ship
Fading in the shadows now

A castaway
They've all gone away
They've gone away

How can I be lost
If I’ve got nowhere to go?
Searched for seas of gold
How come it’s got so cold?
How can I be lost?
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it’s me I can’t forgive?

Well the obvious would be One Piece. ;p

If you could manage a serious tone with it.

cut down the song XP then you'd need less anime.

what about going for a whole heap of anime with a similar feel to them?

Just for an example if you went with a "western theme" you could pick things like tri-gun, cowboy bebop, desert punk the third, Ireia, armatige, battle angel alita, coyote, outlaw star, maze etc

that way you'd be able to match the imagery and the song lyrics .... (not that i'm suggesting "western", just whatever works)

Really I don't want to cut down the song, but yeah I do need a theme. (I dare not to take away from the awesomeness of Metallica.) The song itself is about seeking forgiveness for your mistakes in life, so yeah. A theme of forgiveness.
Now for anime...

Now we're getting somewhere!

Now that I got some ideas for it, I can start looking for the anime now.
Well it's off to Hastings (and the internet) for me. Thanks a bunch everyone.

Eva can be bent into a forgiveness deal easily.

(and that aside...Unforgiven III? The first was good, the second was ok, after St. Anger I don't know that I even want to check this one out...)
