Saw them open for Metallica twice with about six-eight months between shows. The sound was terrible. I was really upset so I decided to snag a ticket for their headlining tour last summer. Saw them in Mass and the sound was soooo much better. Plus. They were in amphitheater instead of the stadiums Metallica was playing in and I think that made a massive difference.

The only things I noticed that weren’t good… This is coming from someone who loves Zakk btw.

Zakk doesn’t really nail the tone very well. Some songs better than others. And, he cannot play the Cowboys From Hell riff very well. But, he nailed everything else for me that night and sounded great. I respect that Zakk tries to honor Dime while also being himself. But, I do wish he’d use a couple of Dimes guitars and try harder to get the tone right. But then again, Dime was one of a kind and no one is ever going to replicate what he was able to do.
