What amp model were you using for that tone?  It sounds awesome.

Superb tone indeed. Line 6's modeling on the GP and X3 series is really superb.

If he has metal shop it'll be one of these
Bomber Uber     Bogner '02 Uberschall
Connor 50    Cornford '03 mk50h
Deity Lead    Diezel '03 VH4-Lead
Deity's Son    Diezel '03 Herbert
ANGEL P-Ball    ENGL® '02 Powerball
Brit Silver    Marshall® '87 Silver Jubilee
Brit J-900 Cln    Marshall® '92 JCM-900-Clean
Brit J-900 Dst    Marshall® '92 JCM-900-Dist
Brit J-2000    Marshall® '03 JCM-2000
Diamond Plate    Mesa/Boogie® '01 Triple Rectifier®
Criminal    Peavey® '02 5150 II

I would put my money on the Diamond Plate rectifier since he's gone for a Metallica tone, but I could be wrong.  :D

Amazingly it isnt the rectifier its a combination of two tones.

The marshall Silver Jubilee panned hard left and hard right for the main tone and the chunkiness (sounds awful on its own)
Then the Line6 Big Bottom also panned hard left & right but a bit quieter to fill it out and add more bite and the high gain (i basically used this amp as a tubescreamer

there are 4 guitar tracks in total, one of each amp either side.

And cheers for the comments on the tone guys.
