Hilarious that he plays Gibson shapes but won’t do Gibson made
Esp uses emg pickups
Yea, my own tone is combinated by james amps and pickups
The EMG 81 60 is the best set that he had on his guitars. Amazing tone for old school Metallica songs.
YEAH!!!
Cool interview with James. But it sounds like EMG just sent a bunch of pickups with small differences to him and he just picked one out of the 20 that he mentioned. Would have been cool if an EMG staff memeber or Rob Turner gave some hints into what they actually did electronics wise. They dont have to give away every thing about the pickup. I'm guessing so other companies dont copy it, I understand that but just some small details would have been nice
I play the Kirk Hammett role in a Metallica tribute but I'm honestly torn between the bone breakers and the het set for my kh202…. Bone Breakers make the most sense but idk man…I think the het set sounds better and leans more towards what works for me in a pickup
The Het Set sounds amazing with drop C tuning
Did James and Lars corner Kirk in the green room and threaten to kick his ass if he didn’t use the new pickup?
James needs leave ESP and come to Gibson guitars.
I have a set of these in an old Epiphone Les Paul Standard and the tone is unreal.
The shirt! I see Hetfield is a man of culture as well.
Hetfield has a terrible tone
Ballady things? Just please call them ballads that's what they are and there's nothing wrong with it. Luv u Mr het
So let me get this straight… purchase the Hetfield signature EMGs and then suddenly your right arm will be able to chug at super sonic speeds and Voila!! You get the James tone. Who knew?
9 years later and they’re still expensive as hell, can’t argue with that though it’s really good quality and beefy as sh*t
great man on earth????, my GOD and nothing else matters
Tank shirt. Filth Hounds of Hades.
I love James' sound, and lyrics. I play the bass, and would LOVE it if the Explorer shape was available in a bass.
THAT GUITAR TONE IS GODLY
"especially the explorer"
shows a snakebyte
Song at 1:11 ???
what amp does he use on stage?
That explains st. Anger album the tone is awful 😀
It’s called the 57/66
Imagine getting what you want
Thank you James for all the raging and great memories. You tone is timeless. You have a great ear.
you can tell james is so proud of those pickups
Signature tone? He changes his tone every 3 albums.
Whatever he was doing in the 80s is what he needs to go back to.Thats one of the biggest letdowns in modern Metallica is the tone,that and they just don't have that same aggression anymore, sounds like they're trying too hard to sound like 80s Metallica.
