More Metallica By Request

Fans will have more chances to help put together Metallica’s nightly setlists in 2014. The band has added a handful of additional dates in Europe to the itinerary it’s calling “the ultimate interactive Metallica concert experience.”

Last week Metallica announced a first for the band – a series of all request shows. After purchasing tickets to one of the gigs fans will get an email with a code to access a voting ballot for the show’s setlist.

Well, the concerts are almost all request. Metallica, which is sticking with its traditional 18-song setlist, plans on playing a new song as one of the selections. The songs that get the most votes will determine the other 17 tracks on the setlist.
With over 30 years of material to choose from, ticketholders might have a tough time narrowing down their favorite tunes out of nearly 140.
