Metallica using Axe Fx's on stage!

[PlaysARobin]

This is absolutely awesome.. Dig the new tune as well, so thanks for posting that H'erQ recording of it. Metallica, though not so heavy in my rotation anymore, will always have a special place in my heart. I've gotta update my firmware and likely just start from scrach on my presets. Hetfields rhythm tone through the years has always been something I've loved, but never quite nailed. I'm gonna have to dive in on this one.

From what I heard from their songs on the site, the tone is way better than I thought it would be. And that HQ video of Lords of Summer, tone was very nice, especially for them. That video from a phone camera...meh. But consider the source. Hey, good for them.

He hasn't used the EMB wah in quite a long time, I think sometime around 97ish is when he stopped

Man, I really am out of the loop on the Metallica thing then I guess!

 

[NMG]

Hi,

Several questions :

1/ Does Robert Trujillo use an Axe FX II ?

2/ Do Metallica use Ures IR ?

3/ Will Metallica use Axe FX II in their next album ?

 

[AdamCook]

Yes. No. Maybe.

The garage version smells like axe to IMO

 

[Phostenix]

Yes. No. Maybe.

Ha!

Do Ruby Begonia ring a bell?

Sounds like a Diezel to me...
That means It could be both

 

[Silverburst]

That's cool news! the antartica stuff sounds like mush/no growl to me though What do you guys think ?

I think if I was there, on stage, using in-ears, and listening to this mix, and playing with the band, it would have rocked my balls off.

As has been said about 532323 times before, IT'S A FRIKKEN MONITOR MIX!!!!!!!!!!!

Live version the guitars where sounding harder, more distorted... on this demo i really don't like the way they set up the guitars distorted tones....

Hope the studio version is properly done.

 

[REDD]

Are they running the Axe Fx direct or into amps and cabs currently? Anyone know? I know they ran direct for Antarctica.

 

[Booomm]

Hope the studio version is properly done.

If it sounds anything like Death Magnetic then it will be nothing to look forward to!!
......Jesus that album was just a distorted mush........still amazes me that the band signed it off as 'acceptable' and allowed it to be released sounding that bad!!

 

[Booomm]

'Lords of Summer'
I have to say do really like this song though. The main riff if killer! One of Hetfields finest!

 

[Roadrunner]

Ahhhh this is soooooo cool :encouragement:

question answered.

There's something about the Axe-FX II and EMGs that messes with the pick attack, and you can totally hear it in both Metallica recordings.

It's the reason I've swapped mine away in my Eclipse, can't stand the harsh, empty pick attack you get from those. They were just fine with my M/B Mark III though as well as my Blackstar HT-5, guess you only really notice it when listening to a mic'd up amp or an IR.

The Shure SM-57 sounded horrible on my Blackstar HT-5 and the EMGs, but I had decent results with my Royer NT-1A.

That said, I love the tones on everything Metallica from MoP to Reload.
