Metallica bassist loves playing older material

Metallica is playing at least five songs a night from its new Death Magnetic album on its current tour, but the group's not ignoring its older material by any means. In fact, Metallica continues to dip heavily into its catalog as well, giving bassist Robert Trujillo a chance to put his mark on tunes recorded up to 20 years before he joined the band. We asked Trujillo to name some of his favorite Metallica classics to play: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "Anything off Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets is always a great, fun time for me as a bass player. I love playing 'Disposable Heroes,' we don't play it very often. I've been having fun playing 'Justice' ('...And Justice For All'). So I don't know, there's a lot. Every song is great. It's just always about having a good time, especially with the old stuff."

Recent Metallica set lists have included vintage material like "Fight Fire With Fire," "Ride The Lightning," "Blackened" and "The Four Horsemen."

Metallica played on Thursday night (November 6th) in Omaha, Nebraska.

Death Magnetic, the band's ninth studio album, fell to Number 12 on this week's Billboard album chart, selling 38,000 copies to increase its total to 1.25 million in the U.S. alone.
