I think i remeber reading somewhere it's because of the Gov't Mules band... Warren Haydes stuff...

I always thought it was "The Mule" by Deep Purple. But naming it after ol' Warren would make more sense.

I thought it too when I first read it, but ain't Deep Purple "The Mule" a vast drum solo?

It's either the Warren Hayes link, or because they're a work horse/do everything pickup????

Tim should do a thread on why all the pickups are called what they are

Not like he's busy or anything, haha!

Gov't Mule.

Dont let that put you off though, as I know you're into metal. Mules will do metal fine so long as you have a decent amp, maybe a booster (depending how tight you like your tone) and dont pick like a pussy :P
