    I wish they would record an album with the same equipment they used for the earlier albums

    • @restojon1
      @restojon1 Před rokem +4

      I think that the reason that wasn't possible in the later albums is that some of the earlier albums sound was "built" by Fleming Rasmussen and the approach he uses, not to mention different kit overall.
      Bob Rock, apart from being very yellow haired and being the whole reason that we now have to explain how to use EQ for an 80's thrash sound (I may be a teeny bit biased against him, but I'm sure nobody notices), he moved the band into an entirely different sound envelope when he recorded "Metallica" with them.
      An example of the different kit is that on earlier albums we started off with Gibson guitars and Marshall amps. These evolved into ESP guitars for Jamea and Jackson for Kirk. Amplifier wise, they moved onto the Mesa Mk2c. This amp is an absolute dream for thrash, very sought after nowadays and just recently I got an "amp sim" version to use as a real one costs more than a kidney on the Black market.
      We're now at the AJFA period with the Mk2c.
      Then, as time moves on, when Metallica chose to use Bob Co... Rock (no bias, honest 🤞) he changes them onto Mesa Boogie Rectifier amps, totally changed how they EQ'd their amps going against the established method that pretty much every thrash guitarist had been using and later James would change his pickups from the time-tested and thrash-certified EMG 81-85 combo to a more mid range focused rock-y sounding pickup.
      Obviously, we have the same sorts of things going on with Lars's drums to some degree but I don't know exactly what went on there, though I hazard a guess that Lars had a very vocal controlling hand in it.
      Last thing I'd add on this, I'm a big fan of Jason Newstead and I thought he really was a good bassist for Metallica but I don't know if any producer he worked with really captured "his" tone. There's been some sort of re-released AJFA tracks where they haven't been Lars'd and you can hear Jason, and to me, that sounds like the best fitting sound and playing he ever did prior to playing solo.

      Justice had no detuned songs, shortest straws original demos were in drop C#, and were brutal as hell. What could have been 🙄
