kirk has always talked like a sissy.

haha.. didnt know that this is the first time ive seen him being interviewed

the brokeback movie was based on kirk's life story.
didnt you notice kirk's ranch in the metallica movie?

Doesn't change the fact that he is a great guitarist.

umm.
actually i once had a '93 MIM fender strat which stayed with me for about 3 months
and some guitars i should also never have had, like ibanez RG470, some 80s charvel superstrat with floyd etc.
but thats where the SG with floyd comes in, to finally put a stop to owning other guitars with floyds.

just suddenly curious:
what strings you guys use? list them quickly for me can ar?
thanks.

ps:(electric guitar)

listening to BLS Black Mass Reverends now.

am kinda disapointed with lamb of god's new vid. expected it to be more brutal

Zakk Wylde GHS Boomers for my Les Pauls:
(From First E to Sixth E): 010 013 017 DY36 DY52 DY60

Ernie Ball power slinkys 11-48, regular slinkys 10-46 or hybrid slinkys 9-46.
depending on which guitar.
what i wanna try next is ernie ball's skinny top heavy bottom 10-52 to replace the 11-48...

omg where do u find the .11's ??? havent had any luck with .11 slinkys just cant find them!!

11s? damn easy, been using them so many yrs already.
bentley got.
harmony in DU also got.

I think I'm the craziest here that uses 60s..... Could be crazier...... I could have gone for the 70s!!!

*Cough cough*....
Now is that a fact?

well i've tried the zakk ones about 3yrs ago when dynamic sound brought them in.
to really use it properly you need to modify the nut slot.
plus zakk doesnt use 60s or 70s in standard tuning anyway.

60s!!!!!!!!!!!??????!?!?!?

you use 60s?
i wonder wat its like... dont think ill ever try... sticking with slinky 10-46s

I've played his guitar before and I must say it's nuts... it feels weird imo, the first 3 strings being very light and the last 3 felt darn heavy. Pretty good for riffers who wanna belt out shred solos I guess... definitely not for me.

Speaking of strings, gauge 8/9 strings are pretty fun to play too, I think they go pretty well with Fender guitars, probably a tele. The sound's very twangy. Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck used to use gauge 8 strings on their Les Pauls so that they could perform wide bends, maybe I should try that one day.

ive installed ZW boomers on my gat before... have to get new trem springs and retune the innotation...
its really great for pinch harms and powerchords but i must say.... the wounded G is one tough b*tch to handle... bending the G is like 10 times harder
it would probably be ok to install ZW boomers on a LP but to all trem users.... STAY AWAY...lol
installing new trem springs.... readjusting the truss rod... etc

currently using 10-52s.... will probably stick with this one for my rg

Actually....... Zakk DOES use them...... that's one of the key things to his sounds. He rarely (if ever) uses normal tunings. It's always a full-step down with the now D dropped to a C for the albums (Stronger Then Death and above) and it's a Full-step and then another half step down with the D tuned to a C also when he plays live....... That's why he uses such heavy gauges. For his normal tunings.... he usually tunes the E to a B and keeps it there..... that's when he uses the .70s. Rest of the time, he uses the .60s.

Trust me......... I'm the Zakk Wylde fanatic here. I use the heavier gauge because most of the time, I play riffs more often (usually drop the last string down a full step and just barr the bottom 3 strings) so I get a nicer chunky sound when playing metal. And the heavier gauges are EXCELLENT for Pings of Death..... Some how with lighter gauge (Like what's on my Epi Zakk Wylde), the pings arn't as heavy as my LP-100..... waiting to change the pick-ups and strings to get it's full potential!!!

ALSO...... he coils he strings around the tailbar..... another reason why he uses the thicker gauge.....

FYI...... will try to go down to Bentley hopefully tommorow to pick up the errmm.... pick-ups.... if they still have 'em. Then get 'em fixed on Tuesday at Woh Fatt...... Bentley charges crazy for pick-up installation...... Rm50 for each pickup!!!!!!!!!!!
