It's all in the mids. Scooped mid metal just sounds weak.
More mids than gain with singlecoils is metal heaven. Punch like Tyson

Been a Mick fan since Shout at the Devil. He didn't start using Fender Strats full time until after the Dr. Feelgood album. Not sure what name brand the pedal steels were. Mick has a big blues background, guess that's why he was judging at GC's KOTB last year.

Here's his guitars of choice according to Wikipedia:

Guitars
Gibson Les Paul Customs for Too Fast For Love Shows 1981-1983.
Gibson Les Paul Custom, B.C. Rich Warlock, Hamer Blitz, Gibson Flying V and Guild Flying Star during the Shout At The Devil tour 1983-1984.

Kramer Custom Shop "mirror top" Telecasters and a variety of Barettas and custom shop Kramers during the Dr. Feelgood tour 1989-1990. (Fender Stratocaster in Don't Go Away Mad video.)

Yes, but he was there long enough to perform with them on the Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus...

...and I can't, under any circumstances, call them heavy metal. The only connection between Tull and metal--and a tenuous one at that--is the medieval imagery some metal bands embrace.

When I was a kid, I remember reading articles that said how bad of a guitarist Mars was, and I never understood why they said it. I didn't play at the time so I had a different perspective than I have now. His tone is NASTY and the stuff he plays isn't easy to play, even though a lot of it is just sped up blues.

This is about the only connection between Jethro Tull and metal that I can think of:

It's a cover of "Cross Eyed Mary" by Iron Maiden. It's definitely different from Maiden's original stuff but they still manage to make it sound heavy.

all i play is metal alot of which is death metal and this is what i use
