There is a huge thread already all about this song just a page or two back.

 

[Bloodrock]

The kill em all version is great!

I think this vid is worthy of its own thread....interesting topic if you ask me.

I liked the KEA and Ride tones the best, but think all but the Black Album tone (which I don't think is very accurate) sound better than the original of Hardwired.

On a side note, I can nail the original tone with my Cherry Bomb very easily.....but I pretty much immediately dialed in something better

It's an intresting comparison

The core tones are very
Similar it seems they just changed mid freq

The kill em is very Marshall balenced mids
Ride is close but sounds a lil
More congested in mids
Master I can really hear a lot more nasal and scooped likely the boogie
Justice again very scooped
The Black album then tends to go the opposite direction and has more honk and mid bump

That's what my ears tell me anyway

Agreed. All sounded better except for the "Black" tone. To much mid and not aggressive enough for thrash. KEA worked the best for that tune.

Cool comparo.

I actually felt as though each album was definitely represented by the core tone being exemplified. Kinda neat. If no one showed me this video but played a clip from it - ya, I'd likely match the album to the tone being used thinking "I don't remember this song off [that] particular album but it must be off of [enter album's name here]...it sounds like it's from [that] album, beats me what the hell the song is though".

Very cool. I liked that.

that black album tone isn't even close to what the black album actually sounds like though....the puppets tone was killer as was the kill to

 

[glassjaw7]

Ride The Lightning sounded best IMO. Cool clip!

 

[skoora]

The KEA tone wasn't even close. That's a very hairy, aggressive tone that isn't super scooped. The vid's tone is way too polite.

Crazy how people hear things so differently. I thought the Kill and Lightning we very very close

I agree, the KEA tone is super raw and doesn't sound processed like this one. Sounds like they chopped off a lot of that nasty top end that made that tone great.

I liked the RTL and MOP tones the best, pretty killer sounding. Whoever is EQing this is chopping off a lot of top end though that you absolutely have to have for thrash tones. Mids or not that top end HAS to be there to sounds razor sharp. All IMO of course.

How was this done? Tone match on a software? It obviously won't be exactly like the album tones as it is probably software doing the trick but still cool because it gives you an idea. I had forgotten how scooped and narrow AJFA sounded but it worked. Love that album. KEA was probably the most raw, but all the tones were great on the early albums really.
