Notes:

Until 2005, was the only Metallica song to be played every single year of their existence (Except 2001
which of course was the only year Metallica did not play a single gig). Metallica only played
two gigs in 2005, and unfortunately Seek was not played at either show.
Demo appeared on "No Life Till Leather"
Inspired by a Diamond Head song called "Dead Reckoning"
Included in the video game Guitar Hero: Metallica and can be exported to GH: Warriors Of Rock.
Since the last half of the 2004 tour this has been the last song night in and night out.
Some people like this, but I personally don't like knowing what the last song is every night.
It's not that it's a bad song but it takes the mystery out of the setlist when it's always last.
