What I will say doesn’t happen as much anymore, is guys getting together and playing together in a room like a damn BAND. But it’s because I was new, young, brain like a sponge, and I simply had never heard anything like that or a tone like that in my life: as we get older, the nostalgia of those records etc stays with us, and we never are able to reach that again often, it’s just the way it is. I rmemever the first time I heard pantera, or in flames clayman album, which is still a pinnacle of production and writing to me, and nothing comes close to that stuff for me. This is a hard one, but it’s the truth: nothing is going to hit you like the first time you heard your favorite bands at a young age: it just won’t. Man i don’t think it’s that at all, there ar plenty of artists doing groundbreaking work with technology these days: whether or not you enjoy the music is a different question all together, but I choose not go go down the road of “back in my day”, it just hurts you as a player and your attitude towards it. Kirk almost always boosts his Marshalls and amps with a TS9 in the studio evident from all the pics of his studio setups. I know James stated in interviews he used the TS9 into the Marshall but wasn't a big fan on the grainy tone and preferred a more natural amp tone. Same studio and same producer so highly likely that its the same splitter setup to that point. The Blue cable I'm assuming is the line from the splitter box as it is pictured in the MoP studio pics later on. The TS9 isn't plugged in in the pic but the two other boxes are chained into the input. Could they be perhaps EQ or boost pedals?. Guessing from the profile and relative size compared to the Ibanez pedal, could they be some TC Elec pedals, esp being that the TC pedals were Danish origin and could make sense being used in a Danish studio. For more information, head over to ESP Guitars.Just a question regarding the pic above that I've always wondered about, I can see that there is a TS9 and a Ibanez ST800 but what are the two other boxes on top that the signal is routed through before the amp input? We are happy to offer another new Metallica-focused guitar for serious players, collectors, and fans."īefore being sold out to their distributors, one of the 300 LTD Ride the Lightning guitars were put on display at the recently concluded 2014 Summer NAMM Show. Last year, we successfully released a limited-edition guitar for the 30-year anniversary of their first album, Kill ‘Em All. The guitar is protected by an ESP form-fit case with the band's logo and each of the 300 has a certificate of authenticity.ĮSP President and CEO Matt Masciandaro says, " ESP and Metallica’s guitarists James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett have a relationship that goes back more than two decades. Other features of the guitar include a distinctive Metallica logo fretboard inlay, TOM bridge and string-through body design. The EMG 60 is the favorite neck pickup of many metal players, while the EMG 81 is even more popular, and is the favorite of Kirk Hammett himself. Giving the guitar its Metallica approved tones are a pair of active EMG humbuckers, an EMG 60 on the neck and an EMG 81 on the bridge. The guitar comes with a familiar 25.5" scale length and has 24 extra jumbo frets. It has a double cutaway "superstrat" style alder body and a bolt-on maple neck with ebony fretboard. While the graphics of the guitar is undoubtedly cool, the guitar itself is not so bad either. In fact, a company representative mentioned that their ESP dealers already bought all of the guitars on the first day that it was announced, which means you can't get one straight from ESP anymore. So if you are a fan of Metallica, or specifically, their second album, the chances of getting your hands on will vanish if you are not fast enough. Īccording to the company, only 300 of the LTD Ride the Lightning guitars will ever be produced worldwide. Some of the now-classic songs on that album include For Whom the Bell Tolls, Fade to Black, and Creeping Death". The official press release says, "The Ride the Lightning album helped establish Metallica as a serious contender in the metal arena, and led to their major label signing later in 1984. This new guitar follows up on that successful limited run. Just last year, ESP released a limited edition guitar for the 30th anniversary of Metallica's first album, Kill 'Em All.
