So many older metal bands today should learn from Metallica in how to pick setlists.

Agreed, probably the only thing they do right nowadays (besides play the old stuff, duuuhhh).

So true. Thats why its worth seeing them more than once on the same tour. cos you know you won't get the same set of songs, as is the case with EVERY other band.

Yeah I agree to that. I mean there are those songs that they've stapled in there completely like Puppets, Sandman, Nothing, Sad, and Seek as well as the Death Magnetic songs - but there are spots where they change it up on different dates.

Looking at setlists from bands like...say Helloween and Gamma Ray from 2008's Hellish Rock tour - NOTHING was different other than a few dates where they just took out ONE song. And Helloween's been around for over 20 years...and still play setlists that don't change at all for one tour?
