Its sad that you all are giving Ryan so much shit for using EMGs. He knows what he likes and thats what he uses. Nickelback arent a blues or classic rock band where passive pickups might be better suited. theyre a heavier hard rock band with a very high gain distortion sound and the EMGs handle that very well.

I don't know what every ones problem is. I love nickelback. And I really couldn't care less who likes them or dislikes them. I like them because i like the music and have respect for them. They are cool dudes, and despite the fact that people call them "sellouts" they have stayed true to their sound since the beginning, which makes them the complete opposite of sellouts if you ask me. Also, they are probably the best live band out nowadays.

Ya, pero dilo en español sipo, eso de douchy es puro andar repitiendo weas que dicen estos gringos, si Chad Kroeger nunca a denotado ser soberbio, y cuando se pelio con Corey Taylor tampoco dijo nada que no fuese cierto, si este último le gusta tirar mierda cuando puede, además Corey Taylor el mismo confirmo que le tiró beef a Nickelback porque ellos eran más relevantes en Roadrunner Récords que Slipknot. Chad es un tipo que tiene carácter no mas acordé a su rol como rockstar, a los débiles no mas les intimida esa actitud, en lo personal no le veo nada de malo que alguien se crea el cuento, y tampoco creo ni tengo evidencia que Chad haya mirado en menos a alguien solo porque es quien es.

EMGs are hot active pickups, usually played with a lot of gain, Hot pickups and a lot of gain basically makes everything sound the same. About the 59's... the pickups where handwound and some of them differ substantially in output, hence they all sound different. Somefolks will tell you that it has everything to do with the woods being used, but for me, I think it's much more likely that variable pickup output and tone pot resistance is causing the differences
