not really they didnt write the songs and dont perform them but are important for ahure

Little known fact....The entire stage surface also acts as a wah pedal....just in case Kirk needs to wah in between wahs and he is to far away from one of his 5 main wah pedals. As a back up his shoes also have built in wah effect incase he falls into the crowd and still needs to wah while he is away from the main wah pedals and secondary stage surface back up wah. Kirk is a damn good wah player and we are not about to let a little guitar playing get in the way and distract the audiance from the wah they know and love and have grown to expect from Kirk. Currently we are working to include a quadruple redundant wah in Lars's drum pedals. That way if Kirk is too far way from one of his 5 main wahs, he leaves the wah stage surface, and loses his wah equipped shoes in the crowd, then Lars can help out with the wah untill a wah tech can get Kirk back up and wah-ing on his own again. Thank goodness Kirk did not develope an affection for talk boxes over the wah.....but if he does we are ready to handle it....the need for superior wah drives our wah r&d program. We are proud to be on the cutting edge of maximum wah accessibility and leading an exciting joint venture with nasa and space x, soon we will be testing a new wah system with global reach satellite link network so kirk can wah from anywhere on the planet with little to no wah interruptions.

so the documentaries from the late 80s about their justice tour and early 90s about their black album tour were for youtube as well? also all the year and a half, week and a half, day and a half, making of load and reload, the st anger movie, etc, etc, etc were all done for youtube way ahead of its time? Thats how you make money nowadays. You cant sell CDs, Vinyl and shit anymore. You make your money from playing huge shows and expanding your social media activity to gain financial support from brands, companies and stuff. All the Tuning room videos bring them money. KZread pays them, bcs youtube makes money from views by showing adds, thats how companies pay money to youtube. KZread pays some of this money to metallica. And its easy af too. They do rehearse all the time, so why not film and sell it? Same about backstage shit. Its thei job, so they will be there even if there is no camera, so they just film it, press it on DVD or share it on yt. thats how you make money nowadays. Or why do you think do people like Justin Bieber have cinema movies nowadays? You know how metallica became what they became? bcs of letting people have these insight looks since the beginning. I would suspect Lars to be behind all of that. The funny thing is, or the good thing, they let you into their world. You can check their rigs, you see them behind the stage and off camera, but its always from work. They present everything about them when it comes to Metallica and so they can keep their private lifes more safe. you are saturated by what you alrady see, so fans wont annoy them about their private lifes....

I’ll admit I still love my tube amp. But what Chad described in this video (tube amps being temperamental and a pain to ship around the world) is so true. Digital and solid state gear give you a consistent sound anywhere. I often use my digital Boss Katana when I don’t want to drag around my Mesa Boogie Mark V and the Katana works very well. If technology has made cars, phones, airplanes and computers so much better, I think it’s safe to say it’s done the same to guitars, amplifiers and guitar effects.

@eliju420

@@Wrathofkala Part of his whole point was how the digital gear has simplified things. When you have a tube amp and cab the sound can be radically different from day to day, venue to venue. With the Axe FX they are sending the same signal to the FOH engineer every single night with no need for tweaking. That means big Mick can do his thing and doesn't have to have the guitar techs moving mics around or dealing with other issues that creep up. The rigs are pretty simple. There's an Axe FX, a controller to switch presets, a signal switcher and the wireless racks. Go watch Peter Frampton's Rig Rundown with all his analog gear. It's 3 huge racks of stuff and so many more things can go wrong with it.

This is pretty cool seeing all of the gear and sound setups used.

Me to. Justin seems like such a cool dude.

I only saw them live once. Pittsburgh PA. Justice For All tour and it was incredible. They sounded great, kicked ass and I swear they played for over three hours. It was awesome!

Hats off to the crew and the band. Really good job folks! We can learn from the attitudes abroad the spectrum of life.

Awesome, third best Metallica Stage after the Black Album tour one and the one from the Through the never movie

Dude - the original Justice stage was awesome. It collapsed around them and lady liberty crumbled at the end. Saw them in 1989.

Nitswah The coliseum in Madison, WI. One of my very first shows. "One" hadn't come out with the video yet - seems like a lifetime ago. I've seen every show they've played locally since then (in Houston and Dallas now). Death Magnetic was really cool too with the spinning caskets.

Hats off to this crew🤘

Super impressive! This dude is awesome, clearly knows his stuff.

I love videos like this. Great stuff! Would be great to see a similar video for Lars and Rob's setups.

Being Metallica my favorite band and being myself an electronic enegineering student this just blows my mind!, The huge system and how every amp, every eq, splitter's and all the stuff has to be very complex, the RF anthenas for the noise coming from the screens, wow! Much respect for this guys behind the stage!

The signals from the antennas and and not crossing signals is what impressed me the most.

I CAN'T SAY THAT I UNDERSTOOD ALOT OF WHAT YOU WERE EXPLAINING , BUT IT WAS STILL INTERESTING . I LIKED YOU SHOWING THE DIFFERENT GUITARS THAT JAMES & KIRK PLAY , & THE SONGS THEY PLAY ON THEM . THANKS AGAIN , KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK - YOU GUYS KEEP METALLICA ROCKIN !!!!

Wow, interesting set up. Never knew their rigs were so complex. Pretty cool though none the less, you need a lot of power if you are gonna rock out like these guys.

Thank you for this video!!!!

Saw them this day. Right on the rails. Loved it. Seeing them again in December

So awesome this video has been made. Please make more! Plus it shows some why ticket pricing is where it’s at! Just like with anyone’s job, there’s SO MUCH MORE to it then what it seems!

These guys work so hard. I can’t imagine Metallica keeping the same crew for the whole 1991-1996 time frame they did like 400 Shows off one album.

James is such a great guy even his guitar tech guy is an absolute Chad

Wow these guys really get to work backstage and have to be on point. I think they actually do more work than the guys on stage. They need to be given alot more credit than what they get. Thank you so much for this inside look. This is an awesome video on how and what they do backstage that people dont see or know about.

Thanks for documenting all that tech at a deeper level than most; sincerely...

Very cool! The tech that goes into a show is a science and these guys make it happen.

Thank you for improving those guitars!
