Lars Ulrich "Sad But True" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xROxlIu__Fs "My favorite Metallica song to play live is "Sad But True" James Hetfield The first one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJje9Xpp5GE "The first one, because that's when it's all happening, man. Everything is hitting you at once. It's just boom! It's a testament to your attitude. Because you go out there and you might be feeling crappy and then all of a sudden you go 'Brang!' (Imitates a chord in the guitar) and it's 'oooh', then everything is great, everything is fine, 'the world is okay now, I'm gonna be fine'. Or you go 'Oh,my sound is horrible, oh it's raining and blah, blah, blah'. It has a lot to do with my attitude. But the first song is always my favorite because you get an instant... you can tell how the gig is gonna go." Kirk Hammett: "No Leaf Clover", "Jump In The Fire", "Seek & Destroy", "Dyers Eve", "Blackened", "Frantic" and "Sanitarium (Welcom Home)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEMv3MbiSwk In a backstage interview from Metallica.com archives (Transcribed by Metalhead Zone), Kirk Hammett listed some of his favorite songs to play live, saying: “I really enjoy playing ‘No Leaf Clover,’ and it’s relatively new and I really enjoy playing ‘Jump in the Fire’ and now that we’re playing with F-star rather than G. I love playing ‘Seek & Destroy.'” “Of course, I like playing ‘Dyers Eve’ because it’s a challenge every time we play it. Every time I play that guitar solo and I pulled it off and I’m like yeah I did it again. It’s a really difficult guitar solo for me to play. I love playing ‘Blackened’ as well.” “I really enjoy playing ‘Frantic,’ and I think it’s a great song to play, and I really have fun playing there. Also I love playing ‘Sanitarium.’ Actually I love playing them all.“ Metallica Formed in Los Angeles, California back in 1981 by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich the band has been based in San Francisco almost his whole career.
