On Metallica’s own podcast, The Metallica Report, James Hetfield gave a rare insight while looking back on the M72 World Tour, sharing which songs from their discography are actually the hardest for the band to perform. He names two tracks specifically, but also notes that each band member has different songs that challenge them.
In his own words:
"We all have our own certain songs that are a little difficult. 'Moth Into Flame,' 'Master of Puppets,' those are two that are, 'Wow,' those are a little difficult. I'm sure Lars has his list; we all have our list. But we push through, and we help each other with it."
Hetfield also mentions that age now plays a role on stage:
"I guess it's a testament of being human and aging, as you're supposed to and having some sense of, 'My body can take this, but it can't take this.'"
