: Well, I don't know about your Kramer's humbuckers, but EMG 81's get the Metallica tone! You also need tube distortion, maybe your Marshall (if it's not a solid state model) cranked up to 10 (the only way Marshall distortion sounds any good) and probably some compression from the Zoom could help. The Metal Zone won't help much, that distortion is too cold and "buzzy". Anyway, do try your amp AND the metal zone with no mids at all, and play with the Metal Zone "Mid Freq", maybe you can get something suitable.

: Now, what you should really do is get a Mesa Rectifier to get the job done! oh, and don't alternate pick when you play those riffs... they are ment to be picked downwards, it's Hetfield man!!

: I'm hoping you are only a fan of the old Metallica, the true Metallica, not the shit they have turned into since "Load"...

Dude U suck a big one! if u were a true metallica fan u wouldnt rag on anything theyve done...u shouldnt even be talking about metallica period! ASS
