For you musicians out there like myself, Guitar World revealed the gear that Metallica currently uses for their live shows and I’m sure they use this stuff in studio for “Death Magnetic” as well.

Think Kirk Hammett likes to use all this high tech and really pricey gear? Well, looking at Hammett’s setup, it looks to me it’s pretty simple and basic. He has said in interviews many times, he likes to use simple gear settings and he also said he doesn’t use many effects. And looking at this, it’s the truth, it looks as though, Hammett doesn’t use too many pedals. He said he always used the Ibanez Tubescreamer all the time, it is his favorite pedal, I believe.

Hetfield uses all kinds of effects which is understandable since he is a rhythym player.

I picked up “Death Magnetic” today and I’m probably gonna be listening to it quite a lot.
