Metallica "Gear Run" rig rundown (Hetfield)

[FireInside]

Stumbled across this earlier. Pretty interesting but they definately could have been more thorough. Still cool in my book though.

Damn, no interest really?

I was pretty stoked to see this. Guess me and Ridner are the only ones?

Here's Kirk's:


Dat flame Ouija. Holy damn that's hot.

 

[Axayacatl]

yeah that ouija flame is incredible.

Kirk's tech seems like such a chill dude!!!

 

[Jlang]

thirded on that flamed maple ouija , wowee zowee.

Upon closer inspection, that actually appears to be a quilted top. Either way, I've always loved the Ouija guitar. That takes it to new levels of awesome.

The Hetfield video seems more like an ad for TC than anything else. The guy barely mentions what heads he uses or settings for them.

Because it IS a TC Electonic ad, and the guy doing the interview is TC's business/product manager. It was originally posted by TC's youtube page, but the user in OP reposted it.

Ha ha, no sh*t? That makes so much sense now.

Very cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.

I liked it. It seem to be all about this TC Effects, which wasnt that interesting for me. I guess the interviewer was a TC associate.

Thanks for sharing - Kirks really shows some of the difficulties of using 3 separate rigs, dude has a ton of stuff to worry about!

I have never understood what facilitates such complex rigs. I don't think I ever will.

I mean I get the running 2 amps and having backups and such, but I don't understand why Jame's rig had like 5 of the same preamps going into 2 power amps when he's also using what, a mark V and a Dizel? it just boggles my mind

Your argument is invalid because Metallica, and they can afford anything.

Well the video explains it pretty well. James has been using Boogies since '85. It's been a core part of the Metallica sound. The Triaxis and the 2:90 are essentially a Mark V, but he doesn't have a Mark V in his rig.

And yes, because Metallica can do whatever the fvck they want really.

Thanks for the clarification.

I've only seen it posted as "James Hetfield's Rig" and it seemed odd that they only really talked about the TC processor and his ESP guitars.
