[@timcilento6574]

On the episode of Tone-Talk Bob Rock was on he was asked about the tone from the black album and said this: The mics he used were an SM57 and a 421, along with a room mic (an 87 if I remember correctly) The amps used were a Mark, and Bob's Jose modded Marshall, which was slightly different from most if not all other Jose modded Marshall's. He doesn't mention slaving the Mark into the Marshall like they did for Master or Justice. He doesn't mention what cabs were used, but you can clearly see in the documentary that they used mainly Marshall cabs. I can't remember if it was on Tone-Talk or the Andrew Scheps podcast that Bob said that he has used the 70 watt Vintage 30's from the 80's on almost every single thing he's ever recorded. One interesting thing is Bob said that James used a Mark III, not a IIC+ or IIC++. Maybe he meant a Mark IV

Fun Fact: Metallica was suing the shit out of their fans for something akin to tape trading after the release of this album. Side note they have not recovered musically ever since.

[@roadfordays]

You realize how special of a right hand Hetfield has when you hear another objectively excellent guitarist like Ola try to replicate his feel, and it comes out sounding instantly and obviously different. I'm not even a major Metallica fan, but Hetfield is certainly a special player.

[@BoozyBeggar]

I remember in some guitar general thread on /mu/ some anon asked "how can I learn to downstroke better and faster and don't say "Master of Puppets"". Obviously, every other anon who replied said "Master of Puppets". Some also made metaphors like "What's the best way to learn how to have sex and don't say by having sex", something like that.

[@randymiles904]

Hetfield is a freak, with that heavy handed, down picking. There is nothing easy about that. I've been playing for 25+ years, and I still can't keep up with James, with that down picking. That and mustaines spider chords blow my mind. 😆

[@stefanokrivtzoff1593]

[@drewinman7171]

Note. The only songs that were down tuned are "Sad but True" and "The God that Failed". The rest are standard E. They changed to using Half Step as their primary tuning on the tail end of the tour (around 94). "The Thing that Should Not Be" was the first down-tuned song they released.

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

Exactly. C'mon Ola, you need to do your homework next time you want to make a video about Metallica! 😁

[@mattjns]

@@Cthulhu_Awaken He never said the entire album was down tuned. Just his guitar. 👍🏼

I always thought the black album was the best sounding Metallica album in terms of tone, mix, mastering, etc. Many people may not like the more "mainstream" songwriting of this album, but they did a freaking great job recording it

[@p4fizzle]

Killer bass lines in that track too!!!

[@joshuagibson2520]

Misery is their most under rated song. Period.

[@JMPK23]

I love that album so damn much. It opened my eyes to the world of metal. I started out with listen to AC/DC, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Motley Crue and lots of other rock and hairs bands. Metallica was the band that brought me into the world of metal. I'm more into metalcore now but I always go back and listen to the black album. It never gets old.

[@mikeg.9238]

That's cool it was your introduction to metal , but that was also when Metallica's catalog turned to shit after that. I got to see them on the Kill Em All tour in the early 80's at a small club , i was literally 10 feet from the band. That tour also had W.A.S.P and Armored Saint opening for them , we paid $10 at the door. Talk about a sick show and introduction to thrash!🤘🔥

[@lind3223]

Since there are two Metallica tone videos now, a third one for the Justice tone would be awesome!

[@sleepinthemorningcalm]

Sounds great. I think a big part of the sound is how the bass blends with the guitar tone as well.

[@ianbakermusic]

Black Album guitar tones were sick...however...in my opinion...Load and Reload have some of THE BEST recorded guitar tones of all time. You can feel the guitars...almost like you're sitting right in front of the cabs...feeling the vibrations of the speakers and the strings. It also helps that the mixes are fantastic...and the bass is actually sitting better in the mix.

[@Justice_Hammer]

Agreed. Black album gets all the “production” love, but Load sounds as good if not better in terms of how well it was recorded.

[@xrt7874]

If you like the alternative rock guitar tones on Load and Reload, then you have never listened to RTL, MOP and AJFA.

[@Jeroen_K]

@@troopin let’s hear your version then! 😉 Be assured there’s some extra studio tech and probably extra double parts on the studio version. It’s never going to sound identical, but to me it came quite close.

[@martincingolani5402]

Holy Moly, that little thing starting at ca. 9:05 was so cool!

[@irrsinnrainer]

The effort that went into The Black Album is absolutely ridiculous but as a gear nerd it's equally fascinating. As a bass player I was always curious how they achieved that massive but not overpowering bass tone on the black album and Jason Newsted said in an Interview that they had several rigs going for different purposes (low end, grit, etc.). It's completely bonkers but I think the fact that this album is 30 years old and still can hold up when it comes to sound speaks for itself. I think you are very close to the guitar tone here. Good job!

The riffs at 7:03 so brutal...wow

ADA MP1 was surely definitively for rythm or leads. The distortion in this thing, with all the existing mods, is GLORIOUS.

[@Jez3134]

I've always tried to figure out what role the MP1 played in their rig back then. I think you can definitely hear it in some of the lead playing on the album, but I'm still not sure what James was doing with it.

[@TheDarthsteve316]

Yeah, had to be just for layers or overdubs/textures. James has talked a lot about how the Black Album was exclusively the JC120 for cleans.

[@greham]

@@Jez3134 I think people overestimated the bands in studio when it comes to fiddling for the sound. More often than not, the engineers will propose some changes, amps etc, after a lot of trial and error, and it's likely that the band simply can't remember or simply never really knew what has been used. A studio when it comes to track guitars is really messy. Best modern example is Kurt Ballou. Many unknown and modded amp, a gazillion pedals laying around. Always get a killer sound on albums, but track after track, no one can follow up what's going on.

[@Justice_Hammer]

The MP1 was in Kirks rack so was mainly for leads

[@chucknguyen5531]

It should be noted that you have to consider what microphones were used and their placement in the studio along with any EQ and Mic preamps of the mixing console as well. That's the sound on the album.

[@birdsteak9267]

@ If Lars had two sets of Snare on that Album, using the Pan for certain parts and not all songs, it could have had some dynamic to it, because it sounds good in some parts but overstays it's welcome fast... Even Slipknot that literally used a Trash Can didn't overuse it. Could have made it a Snare with a kick pedal. All ideas can work, but usually a good idea to use it sparingly

Hey Ola, great tone video! love the format!

When I was faxing over schematics to bruce egnater in 2003 and discussing (double PCB's) and metal tones, I explained to him (and this may help you and others) to achieve a sound, it's done in parallel.

They should've recorded that whole album in D standard. So. Heavy.

Ola messing with the MXR eq, trying to keep it from falling, is like when Peter Griffin tried to toss the dead frog out the window

[@juanrules]

Havent tuned in, in a while. Set looks great.

[@aussieas6655]

When you turned off the EQ it sounded a bit like testament. Nice man.

Anyone who says this album is not metal doesn't know what they're talking about. I mean it's not thrash anymore, but it's still metal. AJFA was no thrash album aswell.

Thanks man awsome layout of black album tone.ROCK ON!!!

[@syracuse6651]

There's NEVER a too Scooped tone . just need body under it like you have , And it sounds amazing slaved out. Nice job Ola

[@Patrick-857]

It wasn't all scooped. It's actually a pretty flat tone. The Boogie is naturally scooped, and they did take out some mids in it, but added them back in with the Marshall. That's why the tone has that grind in the mids that's not very Boogie, and lacks the high end fizz of s Boogie.

Getting nice n scientific with it, I love it!! Sounds almost perfect for the tone, I dunno why it seems like it needs just a bit more size or room, maybe that's the multiple rigs you mentioned. But the core identity is there spot on, absolutely solid. Thanks for all the fun Ola :)

[@Timetofly8888]

well, thats one way to make Enter Sandman sound more Country ! Nice work Ola !

[@edima]

this is incredible to hear done live, close to how bob rock and james hetfield made it in the studio.

[@GunnarLoeb]

Are you reading my mind Ola? I was thinking about Metallica tone on their early albums this morning! Thanks!
