15 SONGS METALLICA SHOULD (AND SHOULDN'T) PLAY

On its current tour Metallica has reached deeper into its 25-year discography, mixing in older, infrequently played tunes. It's doing this even with a batch of excellent new tracks, plus the usual must-haves ("Master of Puppets," "Creeping Death," "Whiplash," "One"). Many diehard fans would agree, though, the band could dig even deeper -- and perhaps weed out some overplayed tracks. Some suggestions:

PLAY MORE

• "Trapped Under Ice"

• "The Frayed Ends of Sanity"

• "Hit the Lights"

• "Helpless"

• "... And Justice for All"

• "Orion"

• "Metal Militia"

• "Leper Messiah"

• "Phantom Lord"

• "Disposable Heroes"

PLAY LESS

• "Nothing Else Matters"

• "Sad but True"

• "Harvester of Sorrow"

• "The Unforgiven"

• "Fade to Black"
