from that interview, talking about malcolm: Musician.com: What does Malcolm use? Banks: [...]He uses heavy gauge Gibson strings, .012 to .056. Musician.com: Any pedals or effects? Banks: No. He's got the Samson wireless just like Angus. It comes out of the guitar into that. I've got a four-way A/B box because Malcolm pops a lot of strings. He plays with a heavy Fender pick and he basically wears them away. He goes through about 40 or 50 picks a night, and he'll sometimes dig in and pop an A or D string, usually the D. So I've always got three spare guitars wired up and ready to go. the guy wears 50 picks a night and pops 12s like they're nothing?? that's crazy!

Angus uses late 70's Marshall JMP MkII 2203 100w amps with the gain turned all the way up for large concerts with following settings: Presence = 5 Bass = 10 Mids = 4 Treble = 8 Gain = 6 or 7 Volumn = 7 to 10 wat?

- Tom Morello: A killer technician who doesn't let it get in his way. how would you say his stuff became ordinary? not trying to pick up a fight, just want to know your opinion. I always think that he has a completely unique style, but no one actually copied it, unlike Jimi and EVH.

I love him because of everything positive posted in this thread. he just sounds so free and effortless. I hate him for the fact that he has never recorded an instrumental album.

I really like allmusic's reviews. I find myself agreeing with them quite often.
