They do whatever they want, to further their business. Its their site. The agreement gives them total autonomy. They were probably wanting to help people searching in the future, or search engine optimization. I wouldnt assume a negative reason.Was it really necessary to edit the title of my post? lol...it was posed as a question not a statment. I don't think it's cool at all for admins to rename the title of users posts. That's very draconian.
I saw another angle, and yeah those are definitely AxeFX III units behind Kirk. There's another rack just like it to the left of Robert, too.From the club gig the other night, just to the right of Kirk I think you can see the racks with the AXE-FX III’s? View attachment 88948
Is it OK for you to criticize one of your important customer?Metallica gets cr@p because they are successful and wealthy. Those two things breed contempt.
What criticism are you seeing?Is it OK for you to criticize one of your important customer?
This is not to blame Cliff, I’m rather concerned about the risk of FAS losing an important business partner.
Sincere apologies, I seem to have skipped the 2nd sentence and thought “Metallica gets cr@p~” was his opinion.What criticism are you seeing?
He said they are successful and wealthy.

So you mean how Lars looks when drummingDave looked so tense when he was soloing it looked like it hurt.
Axe-Fx III tones here sound fantastic and Kirk's ripping solos like he's 25.
Strongly disagree. Are you judging the tone on YouTube clips or actual concerts? I have seem them at least 12 times since the Black Album tour and the live tone has consistently been great through all the various rigs. To be honest some of the best tones were the Load/Reload era tours. (James on multiple modded Triaxis and Kirk with Racktifiers)To be honest i find their live tone awful. A mud fest. Since the Load era where thy started using dual recs and later also Diezels, their tone has been consistently bad. To my knowledge they currently use a mix of Mesa (i m not sure if it s the mark or the dual rec, i think it is the dual rec) and the vh4 and is really bad, very muddy with no saturation. Stuff like single string palm mutes sound so bad.

+1
My favorite live tones are from around the S&M/Woodstock 99 era... Thick & beefy.
Although I love the 89-93 era, nowadays I find those tones brittle, shrill. Best Metallica era IMHO, even if (for me anyways) the tone wasn't so great, it had just the kind of aggression needed for such beastly performances.
both. Last time i saw them was in 2017. The tone was bad. I absolutely hate the Load era tone, so muddy, no saturation. I listen to the san diego live vs the post 2000s lives and to me it is day and night. I guess we just have different taste in tones.Strongly disagree.

I'm not sure what context you're talking about as far as "making of their sound", but Fractal did help them dial in their AxeFXs.
I posted these on Instagram during the upgrade sessions. Slipped my mind to put them on the forum as well. Enjoy.
