Metallica are nearly four months away from kicking-off their European tour with Ghost and Bokassa in continuation to support 2016’s Hardwired…To Self-Destruct. To celebrate their upcoming return, Metal Hammer caught up with Ghost’s Cardinal Copa – aka Tobias Forge and asked him what his dream Metallica setlist is.  

Forge shared the following:

Intr: Ecstacy of Gold

01) Battery

02) Creeping Death

03) of Wolf and Man

04) Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

05) Fight Fire With Fire

06) Ride the Lightning

07) For Whom the Bell Tolls

08) Fade to Black

09) Blackened

10) Until It Sleeps

11) One

12) Master of Puppets

Encore:

13) Am I Evil?

14) Last Caress

15) Enter Sandman

You can read Forge’s explanation for each track here.

Looking over the Ghost frontman’s selection, this inspired the Metal Insider team to share their dream Metallica setlist. One thing you will notice is that everyone has one thing in common (well for the most part): we’re all tired of Metallica closing their set each night with “Nothing Else Matters” and “Enter Sandman”
