Re: Ride The Lightning

Whatever guitar the Invader was in, he used it on the MOP album. I had two Invaders in my old Kelly... those things were awesome!! Talk about low end punch!!!!

Re: Ride The Lightning

the lead tone on the black album is killer, too (think of struggle within. what do you think?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think you are right [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Oddly enough, I have been listening to the Black Album the last 2 days after I retired it a couple of years ago. That album has the best overall sound to me production wise. Oh yeah - the solo in Struggle Within rips [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Check this page: Metallica Gear

Replacement 100 watt Marshall Heads that were later modified

Marshall 4x12

Re: Ride The Lightning

Wow, that's a great site, Bob! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img] Interesting how James used to use the EMG 81/81 combo and now most of his guitars have the 60 in the neck instead.

I've tried other years, but the 84's seem to have something special. Put all of this together, and tha ability to play the tune, and you'll be shredding with the tone you want.

Bob Rock did an excellent job of producing that one. Too bad that dork then started trying to get the guys to really "try new things" and "let the others write too". That's when garbage starting coming out of the speakers. (See Load thru St. Anger for reference [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] )

James was using the EMGs from the Black Album on I believe, or possibly started using them on Justice.

Re: Ride The Lightning

James started using the EMGs on the Garage Days Re-Revisited Ep in his Gibson Explorer that said "More Beer!" on the upper horn [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
