Bullet the Blue Sky - U2

Yamaha BB's.

Bad Reputation - Thin Lizzy

Matsumoku is definitely the way to go, an Aria Pro II or a Westone (Thunder II or III). Ibanez are always a great choice, maybe a Musician or Roadstar.

Over and Over - Black Sabbath

Just a suggestion, as I got the impression you were saying that they weren't punchy enough.

Blame it on the Boogie - Michael Jackson

It really sounds like he needs to get his guitar checked over by someone who knows what they're doing.
