I posted threads a while back on here, TGP, and TGF forums comparing three clips. Two slightly different clips of an Axe-Fx modeled boosted Dual Rec, and one clip of the real boosted amp through the same IR's. The video got 80 views from this site alone. 10 poll guesses on this forum were correct out of 80 views.

This forum did by far the best out of all three forums where I posted the clips.

If you can't dial in a tube amp tone in an Axe-Fx that you can put through a PA system or monitors (in other words, in the same context as 95% of all the guitar tones you've ever heard) good enough to convince even the most dedicated and obsessive tube amp guys most of the time with an Axe-Fx, that's not the Axe-Fx's fault.

So many people, once they learn a modeler is involved, are so quick to talk about how out of the thousands of variables at a live show the one and only reason for imperfect tone must be the modeler. Strange, I never hear those complaints when people don't already know modeling is involved.

Tone snobs typically hear with their eyes and not their ears.

Again, can't tell you how many times so many professional musicians and sound engineers have fallen victim to this and yet nobody learns. Isn't that strange? You can really tell who has spent time with a modern a.i modeler or capture icon AND tube amps vs someone who just loves tube amps and will swear by it. I love my tube amps but I've spent a fair amount of time with IR and captures as well.

And yeah, the show ends and the person is happy until they talk to the band and the band says "No dude, that's just all coming from a modeler with a model of an amp, mic and cab. The pedal even has the di box built in" then the person wants nothing to do with that 😆

Strange world we live in.

And the price of admission is astronomical ta boot! No thanks.
Concerts these days are nothing but a marketing campaign and a cash grab.

Well yeah... that's the only way to make money. Maybe not for metallica but for most.

And their live show is badass...

Haters always gonna hate.
Nobody is forcing you to go.

You probably need to save for your Taylor swift tickets anyway.
 
Too bad they dont have 72 guitars?
That way they would have one for each season:dunno:

120,000 lbs of PA
224,000 lbs of those giant towers/screens

But 500 - 1000 lbs of tube amps in road cases and 4x12 cabinets for each guy is too much and too expensive to lug around?

I wonder how much the bugs weigh that flew around the stage when I saw them a couple years ago in Buffalo?

One of my favorite bands, but by '92 I had enough.
There was a song or two I liked, but overall, I had Pantera to take their place...

Honestly, it wasn't until 72 Seasons that I got back into them.
My very first concert was Metallica and the Cult at Weedsport, NY 1988.

I can't stand Panteras tone and shrill solos for too long unfortunately.


I started playing and taught myself based on hetfields work from kill em all up to the black album. And I still respect the stuff after that fir what it is whether I listen to it alot or not.



So I'm probably biased.
And props for exploring other avenue because even they said there was no point in getting more complicated and playing faster, there will always be something more extreme you'll be held up against. And then they did the black album. Which is legendary for its simplicity and the tone is lovely.

Fucked around for a while and I actually liked death magnetic alot. And 72.

I'll always hold them in high regard for helping me have tight sweet ass chops to this day 💀
 
Metallica has a lot of parallels with the NY Giants for me.. those championship runs were absolutely amazing, they were the only one of my teams to bring me a championship, I will love and cherish those years forever, but… they’ve been an absolute joke of a franchise for going on 15 years now, often times not even looking like they are trying, in fighting with themselves.. at some point I had to say I can’t support this anymore and had to find something else to do on Sundays. Like Metallica though, I have friends that are gonna and do support the team no matter what, and I just don’t really understand it.
