    Damn Ola, you make me feel old. I was 16 and a sophomore in high school when this record came out in March of 1986. I heard the song "Master of Puppets" on the radio(?) late one night in April and went out and bought the RECORD that week. It was like nothing I had ever heard. I mean back then Judas Priest and Iron Maiden were the kings of metal and here this album was heavier than they were! I was blown away. I remember trying to describe Metallica and "Master" to my friends and failing to do so, just started making cassette recordings of "Master" (that's right Lars) and passing them out. When August rolled around Ozzy came to my town on his Ultimate Sin Tour with opening act- you know it -Metallica! It wasn't the show I had hoped for from Metallica because that's when James had broken his arm skateboarding and had taken the stage in a cast sans guitar while his roadie played his parts behind the curtain......I'm sorry Ola. I rambled on too long. Its just that "Master of Puppets" will always mean so much to me and that young 16 year old metalhead during Metal's Golden years. I just can't explain what a game changer this record was for metal and the metal community. I have thoroughly enjoyed this video Ola. Thank you.

      Exactly. You hear it on the first album some what but on the Ramones' second album 'Leave Home' is where Johnny Ramone changed punk and metal forever. Next to nobody played that fast before. That technique really entered Metal with Motorhead and early Iron Maiden and then they made it their own. Punk with the Bad Brains, Descendents and Black Flag.

    You know what would actually get this rig closer to the tone than it already is?
    Run the FX Send of the Mesa into the FX Return of a DSL 100, which is just a different flavor of an 800. I've heard how close those DSL's can get to that 800 tone even with the same EL34's for the power amp section.
    If you can, I'd like to see you revisit this video and put this idea to the test. I think this could be the closest anyone could get to recreating the tone.

    This is really close to the sound James has into the recording back then. But he would have had analog signal loss, tape compression and distortion. And of course guitar tone is adjusted with eq in the mix. So what Ola is doing here sounds better than the recording because of the quality of modern recoding and not being part of the mix. So if any of you think Olas sound is a bit strange compared to the album it's because of these reasons. Great riff job Ola!!

    Playing a V in a classical position is either a yay or nay. Whether it's comfortable to play or not, largely boils down to the guitar's design.
    Best V I've ever played is an ESP E-II Arrow (which I also own). The extra cutaway on the larger wing and good body-to-neck balance really makes it effortless to play in classical position.

    • @Tomcat82
      @Tomcat82 5 років тому +4

      I’ve heard numerous people say that James used G12-65 speakers on MOP, but after looking at Flemming Rasmussen’s notes from the MOP studio sessions (pictured in this video), I don’t think that’s correct. On Flemming’s notes, it says that “300 watt kabinets” were used. 300 watts divided by 4 speakers = 75 watt speakers. So apparently Metallica recorded MOP with G12T-75 speakers, not G12-65s. And it should be noted that, in 1986, those would have been the gen 1 T-75 speakers with the vent on the back of the magnet. These are sonically superior to the ventless Chinese made versions Marshall puts inside their cabinets today. Though they share the same name and wattage rating, they are not at all the same speaker.
      I think it’s much more feasible to say that G12-65 speakers were used on RTL... I know of no hard evidence to confirm this, but being that it was 1984, it’s entirely likely they were used there. But for MOP, the available evidence seems to point to the T-75.
      If you know something I don’t about Metallica using the G12-65 on MOP, please reply with a link to whatever convinced you. I’m always looking to learn more about the gear they used on those older albums.

    There's a thread on Gearslutz where Flemming goes into detail about the recording. Most of the guitars were just the Boogie, some of the leads were slaved into the JCM800. Aphex notes on the right side are for the studio parametric EQ they had run through the Boogies FX loop.
    The mic EQ notes at the bottom are for an SM57, B&K 4006 OMNI mic, and AKG Goldtube mic. They used two Marshall cabs with the same miking. SM57 on center cone of a bottom speaker, the B&K OMNI center cone of another speaker, and the AKG tube mic at a 45 degree angle 4 feet away from the edge of the cab to pick up resonances.
    According to Flemming rhythm guitars were probably on an Explorer or possibly a Les Paul, Vs only would have been used for leads.
