A problem with the wireless I would imagine. The Fractals would be exactly the same every night. There’s a drop in level somewhere before it hits them.
Lucky motherfucker, I seen em once during sanitarium tour when kirk was burnt out. You could tell he need a break bad he was slacking on alot of these lengthy solos. Also powerman 5000 tripped the decibil limit so the speakers sounded like shit too. I'll forever hate powerman for that. But kirk was using a weird aqua underwater clean vibrato effect for unforgiven II that sounded terrible as well. Other concert I seen was at the fiddlers green in colorado and that place just has a shit sound system back in late 90s. I had a terrible experience seeing metallica at a time they were in their prime.
dudee how does this even happen! it's crazy that it wasn't fixed by the time of the solo. ironically i think he played the solo cleaner cause of the less gain
it's probably a simple mechanical issue, like a dirty/stuck pot/switch on his guitar. His patches are going to sound pretty much the same every night, so it is more likely that something with physical moving parts (like his guitar) is going to be the source of the issue rather than his Axe-FX which is just a big ol computer that serves as his "amp".
Well. Creeping Death solo with a clean tone. But I also gotta say Kirk pulled it off quite flawlessly there. But what the heck happened there? And... there's been an assload of tech diff for Kirk on this tour.
@@gbenselum As a former stage sound tech (monitors and some house mixes) it hasn't happened always, it was a lot less frequent before everything went digital and wireless. Yes things went wrong, but less often and in analog plus wired gear the fixes were usually easier and faster. I always had a backup amp or two live and ready for my stage monitors, and could repatch any mix in seconds. Our house engineer had a similar setup for most of his board's inputs, especially vocals and guitars. The new tech does some pretty awesome things, but often the cost is reliability.
They actually do. There's a footswitch by the mics that cuts the signal to the PA specifically for that. One of the behind the scenes/fan vids showed it recently.
@@Stewart.fryers been there in person, they sound great. The soundstage was done really well in Ford Field, not sure what's going on here plus the recording on phones is not accurate to what its like IRL. In this scenario he definitely needed more gain, this was atrocious.
@@Stewart.fryers the idea was that they give up control and amps failing /weathering / weight and setup time so that they use these rackmounts that work well with their wireless. Also stops them, aside from Kirk on wah, needing to run around and catch pedals at different sides of the stage
@@yodiefam15 Actually there is. Even rack operated devices are operated via footswitches and as I understand it, the guitar techs in Metallica actually stomp. My understanding is that, Justin has to tap dance a whole lot.
The gain stealing culprit could have very well been as simple as the volume potentiometer gone bad. A dying 9v on the EMGs or wireless would also give similar results also a bad connection on the output jack.
no just a rough spot in the signal chain thats why Justin crew went under the stage to see why there was lack of gain more likely just mixer issue that has a gain knob
If I’m paying my tech thousands of dollars, I expect basic stuff to come with it. Etc, turn on the gain pedal or maybe the battery was dead in my guitar with active pick ups? But oh well, s**t happens sometimes but throughout the song?
hes been with him for over 20 years its not just him is can also just be something wrong in the signal chain hence why he went under the stage mistakes happen all the time James guitar tech Chad z has mistakes too
@@tun-tunninc.6492 its just a mistake lol idk where theses guys are getting it from but they are not doing a bad job its just something that was missed when thye were setting up its like saying fire me because i accidentally stepped on the wrong button and change kirk tone to clean its not that serious justin crew has always took care of kirk i remember being up front in front of justin crew he works his ass off constantly changing tone and tuning guitars
The Line6 Spider has crazy tone! I picked one up years back at a yard sale for a small prac-amp, took it home and was like WHAAAT THE .....??? Little beast.
What type of laundry detergent Surge from Beverly hills cop 2 movie I see hetfield smoking that huge wacky tobacky cigar Hamlett likes herbal tea gets a little dizzy with shrooms in it hehehe
Kirk plays so well not his fault he had some technical issues it happens & he did so well & got through it be grateful for the music he plays he is an amazing guy 🎸🎶🤘👍🖤
His playing is not as good as it used to be so please give him more gain. So it can hide the inaccuracies. And or just sloppy / lazy leads. These guys get tired like anyone else. On the road . 🤔☕️
Geezes not again. Poor Metallica 😔😔😔😔 like WTF. What the hell is going on with their techs???? They are completely sucking at their jobs. Metallica should fire them all n get new ones. That's just Bullshit at this stage of the game. You know what the band wants by now!!!!! Get your shit together
thats not the techs fault thats equipment issue with the pedal or what their using its not like the tech was just sitting there he was actively trying to fix the issue
![Metallica: James Hetfield Intro + Creeping Death [Live 4K] (Gothenburg, Sweden - June 16, 2023)](/img/1.gif)
The tech panicked and hid under the stage. 🤣🤣
Thats where the equipment is
@@daves_not_here_mannnYeah, that's where the hiding equipment is.
A problem with the wireless I would imagine. The Fractals would be exactly the same every night. There’s a drop in level somewhere before it hits them.
exactly! Love my FM9!!!
Someone forgot to change the battery in Kirk's guitar 😂
Probably true! Once that battery starts going out, there goes the GAIN.
Or maybe the wireless system’s body pack
Jokes aside, EMG pickups actually do have batteries for the gain
Dead Battery :( *Plays slowed version of battery*
This is an incredible reaction. He needs more gain and says MORE GAIN!. Oh my god, I will try this too. Details like this make them superstars.
I was there it was crazy! Btw it was my first metallica concert.
There were no gain issues at my first Metallica show...

Gain by my hand,
I gain across the land,
Gain for me sound man...
...mother gainers.
haha works so well

that's true!
This is played cleaner?

@@SamPlaysBass49 such a shame cause he originally had another guitar and only switched last second before going on stage lol
@@SamPlaysBass49 Most comon. Dirty pot or pickup selector switch. One of both.
Kirk was wishing for the days of Marshall’s and tube screamers on stage!!!
Now that’s a lie

I'm pretty sure this happened always with all bands, but now we have thousands of cameras and RUclipsrs looking for content
@@gbenselum True. But even then, there seems to be a LOT compared to previous tours.
I guess your definition of flawlessly is different from mine.
@@oriyus Possibly.

WE ALL NEED MORE GAIN
\m/
I got a feva,
@@user-bl6ne3hc6n Whatever happend to sweat? *Insert Attitude Riff here*
I think kirk asked for "More Gain" in preparation for the 2nd (my main) night
Muhahaha 😂
Emg pickups going dead because the battery’s dead😂 😂😂😂
Thats the problem with those digital amps, they really need to go back to the Mesa boogies.
More Cowbell !!!!!
Live from Gainsville, Florida.
They should have a designated mirlcrophone that only the crew can hear if they need to get a message
That's easy, just set one up that only goes into the monitors or a direct send to the sound guy...
They actually do. There's a footswitch by the mics that cuts the signal to the PA specifically for that. One of the behind the scenes/fan vids showed it recently.
Mooooreee power Rabbit!!
My deaf friend said he was shouting "more gays"
This tour has been having lots of technical issues.
no pain no gain
Well i guess this proves, they dont use pro tools, 😊😊
Sounded great
He was saying "Rogain!!"
They should go back to amps and leave the Fractals alone
Apparently it's easier to tour with
@@Zorisx yeah but they sound shit

And open air sound always sucks imo.
All the GAIN!!!!
Put your pedalboard on stage, ya dope!
Right! And stand by it all the show, ha!
@@katekrylov There's no pedalboard, they use Axe FX units, which are rack mounted.
@@yodiefam15 Actually there is. Even rack operated devices are operated via footswitches and as I understand it, the guitar techs in Metallica actually stomp. My understanding is that, Justin has to tap dance a whole lot.
@@Jayteaseepiirturi Yep, I forgot but they do use fc12s as pedalboards I think. At least they used to, you can see them in tuning room videos.
Right. I can’t understand why the guitar tech didn’t have Kirk do that. ? I hope he does get the pedal board on stage.
Kirk Hammet is starting to ooze some serious Caitlyn Jenner vibes...
he was singing '' I'm a gainiac I'm a gainiac check my drawers''
He had two packs on the same Freq. powered on. The New Axient systems allow that.
Justin, what r doing bro😂
I watched closely this solo live from the seats. It was dope. I didnt feel that its lack of gain in the tone.
He could have played some BB King stuff 😅
Go back to real tube amps.the fractalkemper stuff is great when it works....I guess.iron sights every time
No pain no gain..
Isn’t that why most guitarists have their pedals and amps on stage?
The gain stealing culprit could have very well been as simple as the volume potentiometer gone bad. A dying 9v on the EMGs or wireless would also give similar results also a bad connection on the output jack.
Bellatrix lastrange
More gain or rogain 😆
took his fav zombie guitar
No pain, no gain 😂.
wireless battery dying?
no just a rough spot in the signal chain thats why Justin crew went under the stage to see why there was lack of gain more likely just mixer issue that has a gain knob
More cowbell
Paul Gilbert dont need so much gain to exécute a guitare solo😂😊
Dont hail satan...
❤❤❤
That solo was pretty sloppy
If I’m paying my tech thousands of dollars, I expect basic stuff to come with it. Etc, turn on the gain pedal or maybe the battery was dead in my guitar with active pick ups? But oh well, s**t happens sometimes but throughout the song?
Time to get q new Guitar Tech. I've seen that guy continuously having issues with Kirk's equipment
hes been with him for over 20 years its not just him is can also just be something wrong in the signal chain hence why he went under the stage mistakes happen all the time James guitar tech Chad z has mistakes too
Where's Justin? He usually took care of Kirk.
@@tun-tunninc.6492 its just a mistake lol idk where theses guys are getting it from but they are not doing a bad job its just something that was missed when thye were setting up its like saying fire me because i accidentally stepped on the wrong button and change kirk tone to clean its not that serious justin crew has always took care of kirk i remember being up front in front of justin crew he works his ass off constantly changing tone and tuning guitars
My wife uses a lot of gain on my clothes.
The Ripper is the BEST 🎶🎸🤘❤❤❤
low gain and out of tune?
He can borrow my line 6 spider amp, all I ask in return is a case of beer
The Line6 Spider has crazy tone! I picked one up years back at a yard sale for a small prac-amp, took it home and was like WHAAAT THE .....??? Little beast.
What type of laundry detergent Surge from Beverly hills cop 2 movie I see hetfield smoking that huge wacky tobacky cigar Hamlett likes herbal tea gets a little dizzy with shrooms in it hehehe
How he needs more gain when he use active EMG and have a lot of cranked amp? Oh, he doesn't use amp
Man, it's not the lack of gain/battery/tone/etc you can't even play your own solos any more! James is still nailing every fkng note tho!
Ya that did sound dry
Ever fantastic🩵
oh yeah PGE Narodowy - I was there on the second night = this f*cking place has a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE acoustics
ay nako
La pile des EMGs ?? mais c'est inusable !
il a juste un son trop sec dans ses retours, ça arrive....et tu as l'impression d'être en son claire ha ha !
Glad I got to see them in the 80s as an opening act with Cliff Burton. Now they just seem like a bloated oldies act.
I was there. It was a total disaster. They need to go back to 1959 SLPs and MXR Distortion Plus.
More wah wah hahaha
He really does carry the down picking load now. James takes strokes off these days. Can't say that I blame him. Lots of ware and tare.
warsaww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fora amo mi ego ni se más de ustedes 😅
Avises uno es educado pero tiene una rabia por dentro
it doesn't really matter how high his gain is
He can't play guitar prorerly anyways :D

It comes down to something not going well with Justin. Kirk seems to have had just tons of tech diff during this tour. It's insane.
@@Jayteaseepiirturi justin been with kirk for 20 years
@@Jayteaseepiirturi almost 30 actually
Aha. Thanks for correcting me, people.

So terrible...take me back to 1986
Why does Lars suck so much?
смешон
Idk about gain. For sure it needs more cowbell
How about more talent?
Second

Jubilarse no están más pa cantar
God Lars is terrible

What a terrible solo
more cowbell
