right but that doesn't mean he tuned his guitars down. it could be the recording. when the levee breaks is a perfect example of what i'm talking about.

it could be anything and since we were not present in that recording room all we can do is speculate



however, i will stand by what i said. Since they were already downtuning during their lives, i have no reason to believe that the sound we hear is a result of the production

maybe not. just always wondered why it took him so long to start tuning 1 1/2 steps down.

maybe he had detuned but he hadn't come up yet with an appropriate formula of riffs that would fully capitalize the properties of the heavy sound



i'm pretty sure that if they could have written MoR earlier in their career they would have done so. It's only a natural progression that this is their 3rd album and listening back to back it makes perfect sense that MoR came after Paranoid

It should also be noted that detuning as far as 3 semitones was not a common practice back then. It was extreme, even for a band like black sabbath, to record a full LP with such a sound.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR SOUL, CAN IT BE SAVED?
OR PERHAPS YOU THINK THAT WHEN YOU'RE DEAD YOU JUST STAY IN YOUR GRAVE
IS GOD JUST A THOUGHT WITHIN YOUR HEAD OR IS HE PART OF YOU?
IS CHRIST JUST A NAME THAT YOU READ IN A BOOK WHEN YOU WERE IN SCHOOL?
