some bands only use them sometimes. and in some bands only one guitarist does.. alot of metal bands and shred guitarist's use em' because they're great for that stuff.
it would take forever to list all the big and small bands/guitarist's that use them, you might check emg's website to see if they have a list of people they endorse.

yeh, because any passive pickup will be better than an active emg, it's a fact, not a matter of opinion at all. even a passive right out of a squire strat is better simply because it's passive....

Well, maybe some Seymour Duncan Jazz pickups if you were doing a smoother, cleaner tone, but for distortion, you've got to be joking.

Why? They are good pickups regardless of who uses them or not. I use 81/85 sets in just about everything I have except my 7 string ( Damn EMG's will not fit unless I modify the guitar first )
