Live Wire Metal's, any good?

[Stringmachine]

I just got a gig in a local band playing stuff like Metallica, Pantera and BLS, so I'm considering making one of my Paul's into a metal machine. I have tried the EMG 81/85 set up and liked it, but would like to know how the Live Wire Metal's are.

Are also considering Bare Knuckles War Pigs and Miracle Man.

Any info on mentioned pickups would be great.

Any other options I should consider?

Bro i have NOT had the chance to try bareknuckles BUT i have tried the live wires
I seriously suggest to you to go 81/85 for the above mentioned artist's
i have heard great things about the MM and WP, but right now MY 81/85 delivers the GOODS!

Yeah, I know what they sound like and they are truly great for that metal sound.
I'm considering the War Pigs and the Miracle Man because they are supposed to deliver the "same" sound in a passive pickup.
