His in the zone and is frustrating when some elements don’t function correctly during performance so yes he is in the zone and trying to comunícate during the show. Not furious.

Guitar at 0:48 looks to be Greenie, Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac's original guitar from the 60s/early 70s that Kirk paid $2 million for. Has out of phase, vintage spec pickups when used in the middle toggle position. Not great for metal tones because certain frequencies are comb filtered out, but clean tones like in the Sanitarium intro can sound better. Reproductions of the guitar are made by Gibson, and Seymour Duncan does their version of the pickups. Just goes to show even low output vintage pickups can be juiced by preamps, in this case the Axe FX 3s they are running. His unhappiness here may also come from not having a good in-ear monitor mix and being unable to hear himself, because the mix sounds fine. The guitar isn't cutting out. I'm fairly sure big acts like Metallica have not only a dedicated FOH engineer but also a monitor engineer who is supposed to make sure each musician can hear themselves by having a mix to their own taste. He sure is using his Load era mummy guitar a lot these days. Since they do most standard tuned songs in Eb live now to make it easier for James to sing them, Kirk must use this guitar as a default. Most of Load/Reload were in Eb. James needs to bring back the wood grained Load ESP Explorer and Jagermeister stag guitars from back then. Wouldn't mind seeing the flamed and green flame Vs from that era, either. Kirk doesn't play his signature KH-3 spider ESP Les Paul copy with Floyd Rose much anymore, either. That was a common live guitar on Justice and some of Black.
Unfortunately this is the price for making the stage look "clean" and "sterile" No amp backline means in-ears only. BTW, those stage wedges can't be heard with their ear buds in. They are just backups in case their in-ears crap out.
I don't see this as the case, the tech and other guys down below were laughing. I feel he was just upset with the tech and that he could not hear, etc. If you are out front and its going bad well your the one being looked at lol. He probably had a beer later and laughed it off, at the moment its high stress.
Considering the in-ear change and him throwing the pair, his in-ears were probably cutting out. i've had it happen to me on stage where it just becomes faulty and your sound cuts in and out. it's very frustrating when performing not being able to hear.
You play in front of that many people and pay that much for equipment and guitar techs you shouldn’t have to be thinking about anything but the performance. Not being able to hear yourself with faulty on ear systems can be frustrating, they don’t have onstage wedges on to monitor their sound so they rely heavily on their in ears working.
