It's not like this question isn't asked 3x a day. Use the search bar. To answer your question, tone is 70-75% technique, 25-30% gear and their settings. If you spend more time screwing with setting and figuring out how to record yourself, playing and learning guitar are secondary.
Because people are really stupid nowadays. They are clearly wearing a clergyman's robe, with an inverted crucifix. The mask comes from what priests you to wear during the Black Death (bubonic plague), as a primitive gas mask. It means their mocking Christianity, not preaching "White Power."
Word. I think of it as: Love can be described as a two-way street. But only if that street has no speed limits, center line, speed limit, or guardrails. A. Long distance relationships are bad news. From afar, females tend to add "Prince Charming" to the image they have of you. Then when...
He most likely committed suicide because he realized that his cause has had no effect on society. And that the system that he fought against, completely crushed his will and any attempts to influence the public. It's a method that the Roman Catholic Church employed during the Enlightenment...

In any case, being a successful musician, comes from doing things that music isn't even involved with. Being successful in the industry comes mainly from an exaggerated and inflated image of the "artist," the music becomes secondary to their success. BTW, back in Mozart's day, musicians where...
IMO, noise gates are "last resort" pedals, besides the fact the SS amps don't hiss, as much as tube amps. You should consider buying one, only if unwanted noise is already a factor. An EQ is your best bet. The tone from Cabinet will be really hard to emulated. Keep in mind, SoP's tone comes from...
A parametric EQ is your best bet. You could also buy a graphic EQ that was originally designed for bass. Most gear companies design their products around the frequency range of EADGBE.
He's referring to the dynamics of pick attack. The staccato sound downpicking creates vs how alternate picking sounds also, is a factor. That's why Hetfield employed it so much.
This is very true. You can even get a basis of their belief system. I wrote a paper on music interest vs intelligence. I can tell you people that listen to modern country music are at the bottom of that list.
