Members petejt Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 Nup, this ain't me in the clip. That's James Hetfield, of Metallica, laying down the demo for Enter Sandman, circa 1989-1990 (with Lars Ulrich on drums). It's just the Mesa/Boogie MarkIV and a 4x12 cab. No MarkIIC+, no stacks of Marshalls, no tonnes of mics, and no triple layering! [YOUTUBE]WQkBEfw-97Q[/YOUTUBE] Personally I think the tone could be set a bit clearer, but I know from experience that's possible on the MarkIV. Hear the chug!

Members thinkpad20 Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 Mark IV rules.Although there are certainly better clips out there than that one, for both clean and distorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petejt Posted March 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 Although there are certainly better clips out there than that one, for both clean and distorted. Correct. I can get my MarkIV way clearer-sounding than that one, it's just that I need to decently record it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lewzer Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 That's pretty cool. I just love hearing James riff away on his own, without tons and tons of layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thinkpad20 Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 God Lars sucks. He plays like he's never drummed in his life. Oh yeah forgot to mention that. Seriously, I've seen ten year olds on youtube that play better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JimAnsell Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 uh... there are two guitars on that recording there. how do you know its a mark IV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petejt Posted March 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 uh... there are two guitars on that recording there. how do you know its a mark IV? Yes there are two guitars there. One guitar for the rhythm track, and a guitar for the solo which was overdubbed. James Hetfield said himself that the amp was the MarkIV, while listening back to that track (in awe of the chug!) on Classic Albums. I think that particular part of the show is on YouTube somewhere but I cannot find it. When I do I shall post that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Letitroll Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 There are two guitars in places on that rhythm track as well (if not the duration of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Letitroll Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 Why does Kirk Hammett always sound like his guitar is out of tune when he's playing? Its not just the bends either... I'm not trying to start a "Flame Kirk" thing, just making an observation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just noodling just so everyone would know where Kirk's solo would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thinkpad20 Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 uh... there are two guitars on that recording there. how do you know its a mark IV? Well to my still-developing ear, it sounds like one (albeit rather poor quality). But I know that was Jaymez's main amp for a long time, certainly during the black album period and beyond as well. Maybe still is Anyone know if the Mark IV was on AJFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members petejt Posted March 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 Anyone know if the Mark IV was on AJFA? Nope, no MarkIV on ...And Justice For All. In fact I don't think the MarkIV was released when the album was recorded. That album was (Kirk's) MarkIIC+ slaved into a Marshall JCM800, a Mesa/Boogie Quad preamp into a Mesa/Boogie Strategy 400 poweramp ("Bet Fuk Bix"), and two extra MarkIIC+ amp heads ("Mr Boo Crunch Berries" & "Cat {censored} Fag").

Ah that makes sense. Well I thought it was some sort of Mark, so I was half right I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MarkIIC+, MarkIII, MarkIV, Studio preamp & Quad preamp are all very similar to each other, there are only slight differences between them.
