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:
