    Its sad that you all are giving Ryan so much shit for using EMGs. He knows what he likes and thats what he uses. Nickelback arent a blues or classic rock band where passive pickups might be better suited. theyre a heavier hard rock band with a very high gain distortion sound and the EMGs handle that very well.

Even if you don't like their songs you can appreciate something. Jesus Christ the hate this band gets is insane. And by the way they have randy staub mix their albums. (Did the black album which has some of the best tones ever recorded.). Good day haters.

    I don't know what every ones problem is. I love nickelback. And I really couldn't care less who likes them or dislikes them. I like them because i like the music and have respect for them. They are cool dudes, and despite the fact that people call them "sellouts" they have stayed true to their sound since the beginning, which makes them the complete opposite of sellouts if you ask me. Also, they are probably the best live band out nowadays.

Chad es un tipo que tiene carácter no mas acordé a su rol como rockstar, a los débiles no mas les intimida esa actitud, en lo personal no le veo nada de malo que alguien se crea el cuento, y tampoco creo ni tengo evidencia que Chad haya mirado en menos a alguien solo porque es quien es.

He can shred with the best of them and his a true singer -songwriter and producer..

    Not all Tremonti's have trems. If you watch Mark live, you'll see him use both his signature guitars with tremolo's and some with no tremolo's. I was watching an interview with Mark, and he says that he uses both versions of his guitar equally as much. And the Tremonti and Singlecut have different cut neck and different body weights.

  • @BramClaes
    @BramClaes 12 лет назад +1

    EMGs are hot active pickups, usually played with a lot of gain, Hot pickups and a lot of gain basically makes everything sound the same.
    About the 59's... the pickups where handwound and some of them differ substantially in output, hence they all sound different. Somefolks will tell you that it has everything to do with the woods being used, but for me, I think it's much more likely that variable pickup output and tone pot resistance is causing the differences

    Singlecut. Tremonti's all have tremolos. That is actually the main difference (other than the pickups) between Tremonti's and regular Singlecuts.

    Slayer uses EMG's, Cannibal Corpse uses EMG's, Dying Fetus uses EMG's, Black Label Society uses EMG's, Exodus uses EMG's, and a lot of other metal artists.

    Check out Jim Root's tele, it's really a great guitar and he uses EMGs. Duff McKagan, while playing guitar in his band Loaded has one of those Jim Root teles but he replaced the EMGs with regular black humbuckers, and it looks and sounds awesome.

    I don't get why people have massive live rigs, and then stick in an Axe Fx just for delays or one specific function. Even if you prefer a classic Amp Head/cab setup, the Axe Fx could have processed a lot of the things going on in that rig.

    I love Ryans distressed guitars. Thinking about doing a distressing job on my explorer. Wish he would bring back his '98 Natural V's

    Well you have to remember, they've tour for years with those guitars, plus some people really like the beat up look.
