Metallica plays by your request!

America's metal legends - Metallica - will be playing multiple festivals of their Metallica by Request tour. Despite they have been performing since 1981, Metallica have found a genuine way to capture their fans imagination: the fans get to choose the setlist!

This is a fantastic idea! They actually give people what they are asking for!

Their tour around South America has seen them, so far, playing more of their infamous black album with 'The Unforgiven' and 'Battery'. Metallica continues to avoid deliberately their recent songs from their St. Anger and Death Magnetic albums. So, they focus more on favourites from Master of Puppets and Kill 'Em All albums.

By visiting www.metallicabyrequest.com - fans can make reservations for tickets at the upcoming summer's festivals. Plus voting the repertoire. Once registered, any fan can select the entire setlist to hear and see what is currently leading the votes.

Before heading off to Canada for the Heavy Montreal festival, they will be having the schedule seen below:
