@@themetalone7739 Dude, I definitely want Prince Charming, but don't ya dare touch Fuel there. I'm warnin' ya! :) Kidding, but Fuel is one of those songs that I fell in love with at the first listen. I still love the hell out of it.
One of my favorites. They haven't played it live at all since 2017, which is probably cause it has a relatively complex drum pattern that Lars can't play anymore (cause Lars), and James probably struggles with singing the song with the guitar, which also has a decently difficult pattern. Definitely a song I'd love to see them play live at least one more time before they eventually come to an end as a band.
The songs I wish they would play: The House Jack Built Cure - only ever played as a jam Bad Seed - only ever played as a jam Where the Wild Things Are - occasionally performed as a bass/guitar doodle around 1998, sometimes with James singing!
Interestingly, Metallica has Mama Said listed as played twice live on the website, counting the Stockholm performance, yet still not acknowledging the other two post 2000s performances - how intriguing! It’s weird how it wasn’t included in the acoustic sets Metallica have done, or even the acoustic parts of shows in the Poor Retouring Me concerts, where a hated DEEP CUT (Poor Twisted Me) got played over a SINGLE! Also worth mentioning that 3 of the Beyond Magnetic songs were only played on the 30th anniversary shows, and if we include Garage Inc., then we also have Crash Course and It’s Electric!
Good observation! By the way, the Seattle 89’s To live is to die is recognised by setlist website only as a footnote to “Bass Solo”. In wonder how many more such bits are missing, as well as misalignments with Metallica’s site.
The main reason they haven't played To Live is to Die live again is because it's the five stages of grief over Cliff's death expressed in song. If you watch them play it at the 30th anniversary concert, you can see them on the verge of tears for the entire song because they miss their best friend so very dearly. It's a fantastic tune, and I could see it coming back someday in the future. R.I.P. Cliff ❤
We could make a video centered around AWHM song, which has the most curious case, and add other bits to it. Disposable Heros also has been acousticized pretty drastically
the 2nd last tour date for M72 2024 was September 27th, the day Cliff died. they played Orion on night 1 as usual on this tour, but they dedicated it to Cliff. I wish they had done at least both Orion and To Live Is to Die, since it was literally on the day. hopefully in 2026, if they do something for MoP's 40th anniversary, they'll play it.
lol.. Escape's like my favorite song tho... Its in the same vein as Fade to Black.. but Instead of giving up.. Its like ""I'm gonna be me, true to myself and I dnt GAF what peeps think""! At least thats how 12 year old me interpreted it :)
@@ProjectRevoltNow They were forced to make the song in the studio despite being happy with the album. As far as I know it's the only Metallica song Cliff didn't like
I liked Mama Said when I was strumming a Dm chord and briefly added a G to make it Dsus4 one time back in the 1990s and wondered "where have I heard that before?" When I realised, I watched the video the next time it was on tv to see what other chords James played. I always think of that song as a country/rock crossover because it's a mortal sin to play metal without guitar solos. Escape is better than anything on the album I'll never again listen to.
I played Low Man's Lyric for a 'show and tell' at school when I was about 14. It went down quite well... I think. I shortened it to about 4 minutes. I really liked what sounded to me like a sort of Irish vibe. And that dark, "so low the sky is all I see..." When everyone's quiet at the end you're not sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing
Wish they would do a tour where they only play the songs they never play , it definitely be the concert I’d want to see, they have a large catalog of not played songs . And many are great old songs .
I always loved Beholder, and never understood why they played it for almost an year then never again. I was playing this song constantly, including on guitar a few years ago, and I shit you not, I see this article with lars answering this question: "what metallica song you wish to never hear again?" And guess what, of all the songs they've made, he says Beholder. Fuck my life.
@@K.D.R_ yeah that really weird i dont understand why i remember they where playing like 10 seconds of it at the ending of the show before they stop playing !!! In the end of 2010 !!!
@@GuiOmania I think it was in between songs, kirk and rob started playing it. I think there was also a soundcheck, I think, where the whole band actually played a bit after the lyrics starts.
@@K.D.R_ I've seen that too. He says the song feels like a bunch of different parts thrown together, and doesn't have the flow they would prefer. I think it's one of their best songs ever, personally.
They did actually play All within my hands in an electric guitar set. They did it in 2022 during the AWMH auction concert. It's just that it's not the album version at all: all the acoustic versions they made of All within my hands are heavily modified from the album one: the pace isn't the same, the riff structure is modified, they cut off the end, ect (and in my opinion, they did a great job for eth live version they made is so much better than the album version). In 2022, they just performed live that acoustic version of the song... while plugging in their electric guitars instead. You can find the video somewhere on YT. Just hoping that this could mean they'll start to play this excellent song sometime around in the huge stadium venues they play in usually!
Metallica has 6 songs that played at concert, but not released on a studio album: No Leaf Clover and I Disappear were played at several times, Hell And Back was played in 2012, three other songs from Beyond Magnetic were played only the XXX parties, and Minus Human was played only the S&M concerts in 1999 - not in 2019 (the seventh, Lords Of Summer released as bonus track). I think the Minus Human would deserve a studio release (and some live performance).
Considering how good To Live is to Die is I wish that was one they'd play live at least on occasion, but considering it's an instrumental with a short spoken word section I can see why.
I think one of the worst cases of this is Murder One. They only played the main riff live once, and then never again, which makes me sad because i actually like that song :c
Eyh Frrrriend Andriy! Last year I made a few data visualization videos, including two about the most common/rarest songs (in terms of percentage of shows played since album release, not number of performances). If you'd be interested in using those datas for anything, fell free to hit me up!
I wish they could play Some kind of monster and some other couple of songs from St. Anger, but with actual drums and maybe some solos, like they did before.
Not a full song, but have the ever performed the into to Battery live? I've never come across it and its arguably the most perfect piece of music they over wrote.
I really enjoy your videos a lot, now that Metallica performed in my country, I had the opportunity to have them right in front of me for the eleventh and twelfth time in my life and finally see them perform Orion & Ktulu. My best wishes for you in 2025, greetings from Mexico.
@ Yeah, I mean that video, it would be awesome if you made another video like that. Today I was looking for that video to know how to play one of those riffs in its live version
I can only imagine what Metallica could have done if they stayed "metal" in the 90s. I mean Metallica aren't your typical metal band so I think they would have come up with something cool still in 1996. It's almost as big as "what if Cliff was still around" questions
James recently said he never intended for Mama Said to be released and wishes he could erase it from history. Hmm.. I wonder who convinced him to record that song....
They underutalise, underappreciate and underestimate the majority of the Justice album. The fact, that they've played To Live Is To Die one single time in its entirety is a musical crime!
Mama said has never been played by Metallica: the band never played it live, only Hetfield alone. It's not the Metallica Mama said, only a solo accoustic version.
I still say that Prince Charming is one of their best songs, and they've never played it live.
Agreed. That and Fixxxer are the best songs on that album.
Meanwhile, they play fucking "The Memory Remains" and "Fuel" 10,000 times...
Hell yeah! That intro has your head bopping all over the place. And the mid-section return to form, a highway driving song for sure!
Yes that's such a great deep cut I love to see them play live.
that and attitude, i don’t know why they don’t play them they’d make great live songs too
@@themetalone7739 Dude, I definitely want Prince Charming, but don't ya dare touch Fuel there. I'm warnin' ya! :)
Kidding, but Fuel is one of those songs that I fell in love with at the first listen. I still love the hell out of it.
I need to see that fucking Eye of the Beholder in good quality at least once!
One of my favorites. They haven't played it live at all since 2017, which is probably cause it has a relatively complex drum pattern that Lars can't play anymore (cause Lars), and James probably struggles with singing the song with the guitar, which also has a decently difficult pattern.

The only Metallica song I ever skip. I got into my first car accident while listening to Eye of the Beholder.
@@JoeyandJesse Lol... Probably because it was that good
@@JoeyandJesse that's brutal. I hope it ended without long-term consequences.
@@Calgrissom I don't think that is hard to play for Lars. It could be because they just don't like that song. And high notes for sure.
The songs I wish they would play:
The House Jack Built
Cure - only ever played as a jam
Bad Seed - only ever played as a jam
Where the Wild Things Are - occasionally performed as a bass/guitar doodle around 1998, sometimes with James singing!
No need for Cure and Bad Seed tbh. I'd much rather hear Eye of The Beholder after paying my ticket rather than those two.
House Jack build is great, hope to hear it live
To live is to die, most butchered song from Lars, he can't play it anywhere near the original version. Shame cuz it's a powerful one.
Him and kirk butchered it beyond belief
@jmaynez2332 if the drummer isn't playing it right how the hell do you want the guitarist to play it the right way?
@@rodolphschmirnoff2853 did you hear the solo over the midsection?
That had nothing to do with lars. Kirk annihilated it with his improv.
@jmaynez2332 he had to do improvisation cuz that's what Lars is doing.
Yeah let's judge the guy on something from 13 years ago and played during 3 long ass shows with tons of ratites.
Get over it. Lars is great.

I could see To Live Is To Die on S&M3 if they ever do a volume 3...
that interlude would be legendary
@Rayvin_n Yeah
Search for "Ben Zimmermann" here on UA-cam. He created his own S&M3 with 20 songs they didn't use in S&M 1+2. To Live Is To Die is one of them.
In whellchair😂
Not gonna happen. Even the S&M2 was pretty lame.
Love the original S&M concert tho ❤
Chad Smith played in RHCP 3:16
that was probably a joke 😁
There is no chance Andriy doesn’t know that
one of the most forgotten Metallica songs they never played live is Slither
1:06 what's the song after fixxxer? Its hard to read 😮😮😮
it's a running gag with andriy 😂
@P1kaSans I know I'm just kidding 😂😂
@@cicerodm good xD
Symphony of Destruction😂😂😂
Good one!! 😂😂😂
Would love to see you analyze the new version of Fuel from the AWMH concert. Maybe alongside all the acoustic converted or changed songs they did.
We could make a video centered around AWHM song, which has the most curious case, and add other bits to it. Disposable Heros also has been acousticized pretty drastically
1:08 I also always wondered why they did not give a second chance to the Symphony Of Destruction
Thorn Within, Cure, and Ronnie all need at least one documented performance
No warning? No second chance?
This comment is underrated. Apparently few got the reference.
The Sweet Amber breakdown used to compel me to pull to side of the road while driving and headbang
They should do a 2 night event where they play all the stuff they've never played and songs they've played less than 5 times. Stream it to the world
Ktulu was performed in October-November 83 under the working title WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER
That's correct

Dude, if Sweet Amber is played again I will litarally try to one shot the whole album.
Love that track
Cool vid. I’d take Escape over half the songs they play lately lol
Agreed
“Escape is better than a ton of stuff Metallica did after” is a line deleted from the video
Not sure why they hate escape.
Everything on Ride the lightning is great.

0:48 Frayed Ends released in 1996?
Yeah it's wrong. Must read 1988
Yes I remember. In and justice for 90's album
Oh crap, I am getting more confused with years as years go by
They need to play astronomy live
They played the middle part of To Live is To Die at RPI Fieldhouse in ‘89. My uncle, grandparents and guitar teacher were at that show.
As was 18 yr old me🤘
Awesome!!! 🤘
I was not alive lol
When they bust out a deep cut or a song thats not well known its fuckin great man i love it

I caught their Lennie Kravitz cover, 1993, Rod Laver Arena in Australia (2nd night). Black album Tour, Kyuss supporting. It's on UA-cam. Fkn amazing 👏
It was only 20 seconds of the song, and Lars cooked it...
@@michaelthorne1347 kyuss opening for metallica? That's awesome
Andriy have you heard the Fade To Black version from Fortnite that includes a hidden bass solo at the end of the song?
Dyers eve and the frayed ends of sanity woulda been absolutely killer back in the day
Some kind of monster being played only 3 times is criminal its in the top 20 metallica songs for me

I will single out Dyers Eve is from the list, this song is killer live. Most of the others would require a special occasion like a semi/acoustic set.
And don't forget the entire Lulu album!
That's a Lou Reed album.
I am the Table
holy shit imagine me waking up in the morning, opening this video, and immediately seeing devin townsend at the very first second
Don't know why Escape is so disliked.
I Love that song and it's got very interesting tempo change riffs.
5:48 the Hatebreed cover is pretty badass
Hopefully To Live is To Die makes an appearance on the tour for ...And Justice For All's 40th anniversary
I want them to play Where the Wild Things Are so bad
Did you delete the video where they explain the improvisations that Metallica did live?
You mean riffs they play differently live? Maybe it’s privates or something, because copyright and stuff
@ Yeah, I mean that video, it would be awesome if you made another video like that. Today I was looking for that video to know how to play one of those riffs in its live version
Mama Said is one of my favorite Metallica songs. I can't explain why.
Great video dude!🤘💀
I still wait for a special LOAD full album show !!
1:06 - They definitely have never played that MegaDeth song live!
0:48 2014 is 26 years since the song release tho...
No warning?
Mama Said is underrated and I will stand and die on that hill
What about Fixxxer? Only played once at the 40th anniversary. That song deserves to be on the setlist again someday.

Ahahah the prophecy was true. Dude is not going to close 2024 with a Megadeth video. No worries, Loving them all. \m/
was that symphony of destruction?????? 1:08

Freyed Ends was first played 28 years after AJFA release, not 18!
Did they give them a warning?
When doves cry ... Masterpiece
I love the song Escape
Great video Andriy, hope you are doing OK.
ronnie is literally the best song on load and they have never played it live
That’s a wild take
Sweet Amber is extremely underrated
Sweet Amber is great song.
Mama said has never been played by Metallica: the band never played it live, only Hetfield alone. It's not the Metallica Mama said, only a solo accoustic version.
You forgot Carpe Diem Baby ;)
That was just your life was forgotten...
Sweet Amber is a great song
Escape used to be one of my favourite Metallica tracks. :/
Chad smith is red hot chilli peppers
I know it is a cover, but I don't think they have ever played Astronomy live.
Mama Said - AWMH 2026???
I have to live is to die tattooed on my forearm huge wrist to elbow
Hell yeah - your Finnish frien
A COUNTRY song by what is supposed to be a METAL band?
A hard rock song would've been more appropriate. Oh well. 😂
Escape may be the weakest song from Ride the Lightning, but it's still a banger nonetheless. They should at least perform it a 2nd time.
