I saw that yesterday. Good on James and Lars. As much as I love to poke fun at them, this is really a sweet thing they did.

[clipless bumper]

good for them

I wonder if they replaced piece per piece - or if they upgraded a few of those items?

edit:

No word on when Metallica is set to replace the gear or what the band's gear is going to presumably be upgraded to, but I bet none of it will be made by Line 6.

my thoughts exactly

Those guys have better tone than the real Metallica now. This is fucking awesome though.

[EugeneTheJeep]

Very cool gesture!

['63-Strat]

Ah Louie G's, played there a few times ha.

[ajaxlepinski]

Wow! Super cool of them. I am impressed!!!


Club was called, "Louie G's"?
The band must have forgotten to pay their protection money to Louie G.

Does Metallica have some sort of beef with Line 6 or something? Deets?

[JiveTurkey]

Good on Metallica. The band in the OP are excellent, if the video posted is anything like the rest of their set

[Marc G]

that's awesome....

[Mesa/Kramer]

Ah Louie G's, played there a few times ha.

No doubt, Metallica love their fans. That's undeniable. Props to them.

[sleewell]

that is beyond cool of them.

Seems like Metallica is finally having fun again. Things got militant there for a number of years.
