Hetfield gives his old White V a tuneup,brings back old gear

[4nkam]

It kinda looks like James might be bringing the V back on the road...It recently got a tune up:

And apparently he has a copy...of his copy

Thanks for the additional pics, Monty! Have they set some release date for the new album?

 

[4nkam]

Last I heard it was september or october I'm getting really pumped to see them next week!

That's cool - figured they go back to their roots since the last album blew chunks.

Hate the way the article was written in "ghey languange" though. Annoying as hell.

Fucking awesome! He's the reason I've wanted a Mark IV and an ESP Explorer in Snow White since I was in 4th grade. Very cool. I hope he plays the old gear when I see them at Bonaroo!

cool additional pictures.

There is something about well used beat to hell guitars that is cool.

Interesting to see how this thread over on HC turned into a is Metallica still relevant, can they make another great album....

great post

good post. or should I say "gud post", killah guitarz, and gr8 fotos. I don't know who Metallica's publicist is, but the moronic grammar is the stuff of poseurs.

Cool post...it would be great to see them go back to the old school tones or at least learn how to dial in a $4000 amp w/o making it sound like ass (IMO at least). I just hope the new album is decently good. There were some things I thought were really cool about St. Anger, but there were also a lot of things that hurt it too.

Next week where Monty? Do they have any concerts here aside from Arizona and Tennessee?

Very cool pictures. The new album will be absolute garbage just like St. Anger. There's no reason to expect it to be anything other than that.

 

[VoodooChild24]

I like this one too!

And of course, Rusty.

May 16 in Tucson. They're playing on the 17th in CA though.

I hope they dump the Diezels and all the other crap that the companies throw at them since they sounded best back when they used the Boogies, or the Marshall/Boogie slave setup.
