That’s was a great thing though because during the 80s they were obviously more focused on writing and recording new albums. The shows were a 2nd thought. Just compare their shows during the 80s. When The Black Album came around the material dropped in quality but their shows became so tight and well performed.

Queen played 880 shows from 73 thru 86. Metallica are the masters of the road though.

Great job! Here's a few things that I find interesting: 1) Whiplash was a staple until early 00s when it was almost completely forgotten. Why? 2) Blackened was played fewer times than The Unforgiven. How is it possible? 3) Ride the Lightning and Metallica each contains three of their most played songs. Who knew that RtL would age so well? 4) Fuel was the last new song to rise to the top. 5) King Nothing is the only Load song to be played after the promotional tour was over. 6) The Memory Remains has been played more times than two songs from Master of Puppets album. That's crazy! 7) Ride the Lightning made an astonishing comeback in late 00s and early 10s.

Whiplash got a lot of play while Jason was in the band becuase he sang lead on it live. When he left he kind of took the song with him. Blackened is super hard and exhausting.

Yeah but it's also clear that getting an early lead helps a lot, As evidenced by Seek and Destroy taking so long to be overtaken, And then Creeping Death taking so long to be overtaken by MoP, And probably the earlier songs' headstart that keeps Enter Sandman from being top of this list.

I can understand the logic of older songs getting a headstart but if you look at other bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Megadeth, their 15 most played songs would contain almost nothing from their 1st 3 albums or so.

I like the concept but always remember to use contrasting text colors otherwise people won't be able to read it when it's light colored text on light colored bars.

Its crazy that they have 8 songs played over a thousand times live. 3 almost total 5k... Seen them twice, both shows production was perfect. 1997 load tour, loudest show Id ever seen. 2018, ACL festival. Deftones had sound issues right before. Met- was crisp, clear and 💯% from first note. Top 10 live act OAT. No question.

What are the final numbers for each songs, including the ones that didn't made it to the top 25 that's on your chart?

I sped it up to get through it faster only to find out Creeping Death sounds pretty awesome at 1.5x speed!

Would you be able to send the data file on this? I’d love to see the entire list…

The mechanix was on the list and get played more than any song from St Anger, Death Magnetic and Hardwired to self destruct.

Makes sense can’t imagine a concert without master of puppets creeping death and sandman. Those are almost certain to be there. Can’t believe puppets past creeping death though that song is just such a good crowd song.

Even though they didn't write blitzkrieg and Am I Evil, they definitely put those songs on the map

This kinda shows that if you rearrange it a bit (or even if you don't rearrange it like at all) plus throw in a couple of newer (post-2000) most popular songs that physically couln't make it to the top, you'll get an average Metallica setlist

Nearly 2000 shows!

This is interesting. I figured MOP would be No. 1. But I remember during the shooting of Some Kind Of Monster the film makers asked the band which song should be used for a montage through the years up to then and they thought Seek & Destroy should be used as they played it the most. But by then the most played song had been Creeping Death for over 5 years. Seek & Destroy was their most played song for only 5 years (in the mid 80ies) of their 20 years up to then.
