Metallica

For a while on the HTSD tour they also had a cover slot, but I don't think they do that anymore. On the European arena leg they had one more slot for HTSD songs which rotated between Confusion and Dream No More (and somewhat rarely ManUNkind), bringing the total of "new" songs to 7. If they played a second night at a venue, they'd rotate songs and specifically not play Spit Out the Bone.

It's honestly kind of fascinating how Lars creates Metallica's setlists. There's definitely some thought put into it. Indeed, one might say he puts more thought into setlists than he does drumming these days!

Yes, it's important to note that Lars is the one creating setlists.

Not that difficult!

Just saw this photo on Facebook, never knew Jason had used a six string before

 

[frus]

I remember he used it all the time in black album era

No step on snek!

Trump on the drums at the start is magnificent.

He used it on Sad But True on the Black Album tour. I never really got why because I don't think there's any reason he'd need to use it, but he did. Judging by the string sizes it doesn't look like it's tuned like a standard six string bass either.

Interesting. Thanks for the info

Wow! Metallica put a lot of live videos from the current tour on their YouTube channel:

And this tour continues for 3 years already.

And will last for another three, then they'll do an album anniversary tour.

Nostradamus detected!

Seriously, they even do not need to release a DVD from this tour (given how many videos they released).

Damn, I wish we'd have Slipknot here instead of Ghost.

Ghost is pretty good but Slipknot is a lot better imo.

I really can't see how my opinion is weird at all. I literally just said that I like Slipknot more than Ghost.

I can’t name a Slipknot song I like.

So you don't like Corey's voice?

Slipknot > Ghost

I only like about half of Iowa, but it's enough
