yeah I also use and love the EMG Het Set.

I don't care what the guitar looks like during recording, you have to admit that there are some brief sections in "Spit Out the Bone" where James recorded layers and layers of guitars on top of each other (the "Wall of Guitars") and the chromatic and melodic playing over the top of the doubled-up downpicking, with Kirks solo sendoff and Rob's bass all howling together in different pitch and tembor sounds incredible.

I met James last year, and he is actually a really cool guy, he talked to my girlfriend and i for a few minutes and even congratulated us for our first baby, too bad he doesn't like pictures.

I like the snakebyte but the older esp explorers are my favorite. Since he pretty much reinvented the image of metallica into something that fits the modern world, I think it would be awesome if he made a snakebyte guitar in vintage white with a witty phrase written on the lower part of the guitar, just like the good 'ol days as sort of a nod to the past.

The EMG Bone Breaker is an AWESOME pup. I have only found 3 pups I would use in the Bridge, Carvin M22T, Ibanez V2, and the Bone Breaker, which is wonderful, because they don't make the Carvin M22T any longer, or the V2, and the M22T is the Bridge Pup in all of my axes, until now:)

Haha awesome video. It's cool to hear they are recording. I think the new one will be delicious
