Evolution of most played Metallica songs [2023]

I tried my hand at data visualization, by following the great tutorial by Cary from Abacaba and Cube Roll. Code is pretty much copy pasted from his. I didn't change much things as visual design is definitely not my forte.
So big thanks to him for this tutorial!
/ @abacaba
This video shows the top 25 songs Metallica played the most live, displaying the day by day evolution. Note that there are 126 setlists up to 1993 that are missing.
All data were scrapped from Metallica's official website.
There will be quite a few more videos using these data following up. :)
UPDATE : Here's the same video for songs from after the Black Album:

hello

[@Somerandomdud101]

Thanks

[@nevermind4611]

props to u for attending all nearly 2000 of their shows to gather this data, really appreciate it!

[@Poutrel]

Thanks! Although I didn't quite get to all 2,102 shows, I missed a few (2,096, negligible)

[@jordanbautista]

@@Poutrel how could you miss 6 whole shows?!? Fake fan bruh Lol

[@jugularmusic]

It blows my mind that from 81 to RIGHT before The Black Album hit, the band played 470 shows. By the end of The Black Album tour they ALMOST doubled it by 770!

[@Poutrel]

That's actually 590 and 900 respectively with the shows with unknown setlists that are not included in the on screen count ^^ But indeed, I've prepared a moving count of the number of shows for a 3 year period, and they peaked at about 320 shows between 1991 and 1994

[@donald60s14]

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.

[@Stormtrooper53]

What's crazy is that from the start of the Damaged Justice tour in September of '88 to the end of the Nowhere Else to Roam tour in July of '93 they played something like 550 shows. That's one show every three days for five years. Those dudes were always on the road.

[@ryanpaulaseoche]

thats the reason hetfield blew his voice, because of that number

[@teufelshunde4]

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

[@alexeyshcherbakov3732]

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.

[@metaltim]

Memory has played more than 3 MOP songs.. forgot about Orion (didn't make the chart). Also, bleeding me, outlaw torn, and until it sleeps have all been played long after the Load tour was over. Even wasting my hate a few times. And whiplash was played heavily during world magnetic and worldwired tours.

[@scourge34]

RTL is their best album in my opinion. It's the perfect mix of their youthful energy and more mature writing. The tipping point if you will. And I also think MOP is probably their best writing. Their prime. But RTL edges it in rawness.

[@levantinian]

The Unforgiven is one of their very best, but I've heard them describe it is a song that didn't lend itself to live performance as much as some of their others.

[@anesvick]

@@scourge34 Its a hard argument I have with myself.... I love both, but if I had to listen to one day after day, I like MoP more, it has the polish, James' vocals are much tighter, and it is far better written.... Oh man, what could they have been if that bus crash had not happened.... We'll always wonder.

[@captainjefferies9047]

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. They don't put to many songs like that on any setlist. "Who knew that RtL would age so well?" Me when I first heard it in the mid 80's.

[@luigcorreia]

Great video! I had no idea Puppets became the number one song only (relatively) recently!

Glad to see “The Thing That Should Be” at least made it to the final list. Definitely a Top 5 Metallica song for me 🤘🏽

[@middleclassthrash]

This is really neat, but what almost interests me more is the next 20 songs. Those seem like the songs that rotate into and out of the setlist and it would be entertaining to see the movement there. Great content.

[@wightangel]

I can never understand James hatred of the song’Escape’. When I first heard it in 1984 I really took the lyrics home with me. I find it a very therapeutic song.

[@chrispbacon3084]

Record company at the time made them write a "radio friendly" song and Escape is what they wrote to please the label, That's why he hates it.

[@donald60s14]

Escape sounds less radio friendly then Fade To Black and For Whom The Bell Tolls. Escape is underrated.

[@lynnpehrson8826]

I think it's just because they wrote it because they were told to, which is understandable. Rtl is great front to back though, and i also like escape

[@wightangel]

@@chrispbacon3084 Thanks for the insight into the recording of the song. I did not know that.

[@nathanlarson6535]

​@@chrispbacon3084It's impressive that even a filler song that the band didn't want to write is still better than many "radio friendly" rock/metal songs from other bands in that era. It was created last minute and didn't really have any soul or emotion put into it yet it still has a small cult following to this day. Metallica is truly special, especially back when Cliff was still here. Glad they were able to show their full abilities with the rest of RTL and MOP.

[@theartistlostboy]

Loved this! I’m a full Metallica nerd and if you already have the data would love to see a difinitive list to date of every Metallica song in most to least played!

[@Poutrel]

Well, for that you only need to check each song's page on their website one by one, but I think there are more interesting stats to get. If you meant the day by day evolution, well yes I have that but I don't know how it could be visualized tbh. 146 songs at the same time would be a bit overwhelming

[@Antonypancake]

@@willanthevillain418 During the Black Album tour onwards Metallica would only play Master of Puppets up to the end of the second chorus, stopping before the interlude. Why did they do this? I don't really know. Probably to save time for other songs in the set.

The fact that 'The Thing That Should Not Be' hung in at #25 kinda surprised me. In my head it seems more rare than that, but I guess it did have decent rotation for 3 album cycles... Cool video man!

[@archvile1313]

@@whogivesafack-ch3lj Yes, I understand, everything after black album in my opinion isn't like metal but hard rock kind of.

Thank you very much

[@mtlmltnt]

The 15 most played songs by Metallica come from their 1st 5 albums. Amazing. Tells you what people want to hear the most. Lovely video!

[@Zieekel]

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'm sure there's plenty demand for modern era songs that just gets overshadowed by the seniority of the classic albums

[@Poutrel]

The next video will have much more interesting stats that clearly indicates that!

[@captainjefferies9047]

Tells you that songs they wrote at the beginning got more play over time. The real question is why are songs from the first album dropping off the list like mad.

[@mtlmltnt]

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. So I still think that the main reason for it is the band gauging which songs get the crowd pumped the most. However, let's see what the next video has to offer, as Poutrel is teasing!

[@Poutrel]

As suggested, I did a sister video that doesn't include the songs from the first 5 albums: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3zaZ4CCppiXmpo

Very impressive. Would love if you could do something along the same for Disturbed.

[@gamingmoment1061]

I find it interesting that they kept playing their older stuff so much on these tours, like seek and destroy being on top until 1995 or 6, or the fact that harvester of sorrow was on the list for more than a decade, they managed to find a perfect balance between the new stuff and the old stuff.

[@anesvick]

They are one of the few bands that have figured out that people come to your concerts to hear your old shit, not your new releases. By all means, play a little new stuff, but that's not what people came for.... they wanna hear the shit they've been singing along to for the last 5-10 years.

Sorry but I only have the data for Metallica

[@captainjefferies9047]

This only works for Metallica because they write down and record all their setlists. Also, most bands do one setlist for an entire tour. It wouldn't be as interesting. You would watch a block of ten songs all go up together as a block for a year.

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.

[@Poutrel]

interesting! I don't know when they started to publish the stats though, so maybe back then they didn't care much about those. And tbh i'm sure they don't. Just a few passionate members of their staff doing the stats imo

I wonder if Metallica has anything big planned for their 2000th concert. Would be awesome if they went Live on KZbin, Facebook, etc. and did like a massive 5 hour show or something. How Historic would THAT be? Do like 2 1/2 hours, then take a break of however long, then come back for another 2-3 hours. People would be talking bout it for. Long time! They are the only band to play on all 7 continents! They really should pursue this distinction of becoming the first band to play "here," or "there.". Think about it! The first band to play in space! They can do that now by taking one of those planes up into the edge of space. Or how about, the first band to play underwater? There's buildings that are underwater now, so they can do that now if they wanted. Or, the first band to play play a show at the highest altitude. There are many, MANY ideas out there! Whatever they do for their 2000th show, I'm just glad they are still rocking us fans in this very difficult world!

I wonder if the reason Seek and Destory was played alot was because of how easy it is to play.
