Eventually, they will. All bands do in time. Personally, I tend to believe Metallica should've given it a rest some 20 years ago.
Dave and Metallica are on better terms now. During the events of the Some Kind of Monster, Dave and Lars got to vent their anger. Megadeth will also be playing with Metallica at Sonisphere 2010.
It varies depending on what they planned on playing.
If they're not being paid for each playing of one of their songs on any publicly accessible medium, then Metallica (technically, their management, but it's Metallica) won't allow it. You could try petitioning the band, but that's an effort which would probably prove futile in the end.
Unfortunately, U2 sold more records than Metallica, which doesn't make any sense whatsoever. U2 is a sell-out band who were only in it for the money; Metallica actually made a difference with their music by actually playing their instruments properly.
