I've written about Metallica many, many times in this blog; I'm not really going to do that now but listed below is the incredible cache of songs I've seen them perform over the past 37 years. Not too shabby. I've seen Metallica 12 times, in three states (NY, FL, CA) seen them play arenas, stadiums, festival grounds and (twice) an actual club! After all these years somehow, even with them releasing records I FIRMLY do not like, retain the coveted spot as my favorite band of all time.
