Listen to audience footage of their stuff vs the official live footage. Lars's meter is all over the place, and he never plays the double bass or fills right. Makes you wonder if Mike Clink got fired from Justice for bringing in a ghost drummer.
Tried everything over the years, would be ok with any of the big 3 brands. Used GHS pure nickels for quite awhile, but switched to nyxls when they came out. They stay in tune and last really long for me. 10s on single coil guitars, 9s on humbuckers.
