Metallica became the first metal band to perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas when they launched their Life Burns Faster residency on Thursday night (Oct. 1).
The performance began with a furious rendition of “Battery,” the high-octane opening track from Master of Puppets. From there, Metallica rolled into “Creeping Death,” the lead single from 1984’s Ride the Lightning.
“Vegas, do you want heavy?” frontman James Hetfield loudly askedearly in the show, garnering a monstrous cheer in response. “Metallica gives you heavy, baby!” the singer then declared as the band launched into “Sad But True.”
As with any concert at the Sphere, music was only part of the experience. Metallica made the most of the state-of-the-art venue’s capabilities, mixing incredible visuals into their performance throughout the night.
As you can see in the video from YouTube user @abarlev1 below,a soaring, gothic cathedral climbed up the walls during “Now That We’re Dead,” eventually displaying a mammoth alter to worship to the metal gods. Each of the stained glasswindows focused on a different member of the band and featured images pertaining to turning points in their respective musical jounrey — just some of the many easter eggs that were mixed into the visuals throughout the evening.
Meanwhile, “Wherever I May Roam” featured a wild train ride that careened past some of the wold’s most identifiable landmarks before coming to a stop at the Sphere. These performances and more can be seen in the videos below.

Other highlights from the set included such classic hits as “Nothing Else Matters,” “Seek and Destroy” and “Master of Puppets.” For the first time in over a decade, Metallica mixed “…And Justice for All” into their set list. According to setlist.fm, the last time they played the tune was in 2014.
Meanwhile, “The Call of Ktulu” was dedicated to Metallica’s late bassist, Cliff Burton, almost exactly 40 years after his tragic death. A full set list from the show can be found below.
Metallica’s Sphere residency is currently scheduled to run through March 2027, totaling 24 performances. The band has promised each weekend will have no repeat setlists.

Metallica Call Playing the Sphere ‘F—ing Intimidating’
Earlier this year, Lars Ulrich revealed that he was inspired to play the Sphere after seeing U2 open the venue in 2023.
“I was there [on the] opening night and was so just fucking awestruck, inspired, energized, all of it,” the drummer remarked. “It was just, like, ‘Holy shit, this is somehow another frontier.’”
Ulrich also spoke about the unique challenge of playing the Sphere.
“It’s gonna be challenging,” he said. “And obviously, like everybody else I’ve talked to about it, it’s overwhelming and fucking intimidating. But … that’s a place maybe we don’t end up in often enough, because we have a tendency to put ourselves in environments that we completely control and know. And so I think it’s really good to be able to throw yourself for a loop like that.”

There are moments of indecision when compiling this list. After all, we really could have had – for the first time ever – a three-way tie for first.

We weren’t sure whether or not to count Lulu, the band’s collaboration with the legendary Lou Reed, as a proper Metallica studio album. But, once we decided to do so, there was no question where it would rank on this list. Both parties deserve a lot of respect for trying something so different. But the end result – this plodding spoken-word mess – is really hard to sit through.
