He gave us a warm welcome and we walked up to the stage where at that point Rob Zombie was still playing. So we met up with Chad and he instantly came across as the nicest guy! It's safe to say I was very excited about getting a glimpse into their guitar world and maybe even a little nervous. What greater band can there be to learn from and to be inspired by? Groing up as a musician this band has had a huge influence on me in many ways. I've been a huge Metallica fan since I was about 11 years old, I've seen them play multiple times, own all the albums and dvd's etc. I can try and act cool like it was everyday business as usual, but I'm not going to lie. I know that Chad invited me to come backstage to check out the gear but I didn't have an idea of what I would be able to see, hear and do backstage. We watched a couple of bands like Rob Zombie but it was hard to get my mind of something else that was about to happen. It was a very hot day and the sun was doing it's thing quite well LOL! So I will try to keep this story brief and fun!ДЄfter a long drive to the south of Holland my girlfriend and I arrived at the Pinkpop terrain. They are also really thankfull to Fractal Audio for delivering amazing products and service so this was also a way for them to give something back to this community.Д«eing a huge Metallica and Fractal Audio fan I also don't mind spreading the love for those 2 entities! Metallica headlined the dutch Pinkpop festival and I was there.ДЄ while ago I got in touch with Chad, James Hetfield's guitar tech through the Fractal Audio forums.Д«oth him and Justin really liked the tonematches and patches I made and the effort I put in them.
