From ass-kicking Metallica epics like "Motor Breath" to new thrashers like "Cyanide”, riff master James Hetfield’s venomous style has inspired many. Preferring picks with a bright tone and biting attack, Hetfield looked to Dunlop for the perfect tool for his fierce downward picking style. Based on a vintage tortoise-shell pick, the Black Fang Pick is made of tough, sturdy Ultex material with a defined tone and sharp attack.
