[hideous]

ah yes, it's summer in carlini now - also near the coast which isn't nearly as cold as inland.

Now your just rubbing salt in my wound. :/

If they are so concerned about the environment in Antarctica, why go there at all? Sounds more like a publicity stunt than anything.

No shit.

Listening to the stream now, tones are pretty badass.

Yeah I did notice a lot of bum notes, I reckon it was the temperature, playing guitar with freezing cold hands is really hard.

Yeah, check out the jackets, and how they'd cleared the snow away from the area where they were playing. Brutal conditions for playing guitar.

I find it near impossible. I've done a few outside shows in really cold weather and my hands just wouldn't work.

My friend plays bass with The Tenors. They did a show outside in -34C weather this weekend. Said it was awful; the bass strings were lifeless. I can imagine a lot of bum notes get played at outdoor gigs all around this time if year in the upper northern hemisphere.

What's so weird about Hammett playing bad? Unless you actually like that vibrato?

 

[Sylph]

The tone on the show-gig was actually the same as Metallica has on their live shows. I was kinda surprised. Good job Fractal!

Theres a bunch of vids up on youtube already that are what the audience was hearing in their headphones.

If all they actually really used were Axe FX II's and no pedals or amps, I have to say Hetfields signature tone was pretty much there, But Kirk's was not. It actually sounded to me like Kirk was running a mesa practice amp.

Its all in the fingers!

Ouch! -34°C? It's not safe to leave your fingers exposed at that temperature for any length of time, let alone touching cold wood and metal. I can't imagine getting through even one song.

Congrats FAS team :encouragement:
This is fun.

Did they play "Trapped Under Ice"?
