This freaking bugs me even more since I learned that "...And Justice For All," which is easily my second favorite Metallica song, is seldom, if ever, played live.

Seriously, "St. Anger" is played live more. ****ING ST. ANGER!!

It's said to be too difficult a song to play live...

How? Can Lars not play the drum parts in real life or something? I did not see that reason as to why it's not played.

I was reading something that said that Hammett refused to play it again after some of the fans at a venue actually yawned when the song was only 2/3 of the way through.

If you see those fans, punch them in the face for me.

That's the reason a lot of bands don't play their more complicated songs live. It's harder to keep up the energy.

Be thankful. I saw Queen this year and they did play Bohemian. Middle part was video, and the rest was awful.

Yeah, a ten minute song, and then before and after other songs, it can get hard to do so much...

Why does Metallica take so long to release new albums? It's been almost six years since Death Magnetic.

Think of it as a merciful act.

I agree.

And there's always that ****ty song they put out a while ago. That should turn you off to anything new by them.
