[quote=COBHC VANCITY]tuning to D and C is so stupid. guitars sound so much worse when they're tuned down that low. i dont care how "heavy" you think it sounds, it's retarted.

Master of Puppets, one of the best metal albums of all time was played compltely in standard... and look at St. Anger... in Drop C.

You can really hear the difference in sound quality if you play the low E string tuned to E, and then to D or C.

/ends rant.[/quote]



I disagree. My band downtunes because it sounds good to us......it creates darker chords and sounds really good for metal if used properly.

However, when all a band does is downtune and play really fast, simple riffs, that's when it's overkill...........


It's all in how something is used (or abused).

Yup.

Like breaking benjamin... Damn they are hardcore.:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I love all tunings. My band has only 5 songs and 3 of them are D standard, one of them is E standard, and the third is drop A. We goof off on the drop A song lol. Still, it sounds kinda cool

Drop B & A are too low. It gets towards "Toneless", for me at least.

It depends on what guitar you use.
Some guitars necks can't have that much "nonstress" and it sounds like ****.
My BC Rich takes it like a champ! My Jackson can't do it.

I <3 my Jackson.

I've never liked any BC Rich guitars, I've always felt I could get a far better guitar for a lot less. It seems that an "ehh" Jackson played leagues above a nice BC Rich.

Just my observations and opinion though.

My BC Rich obviously owns most guitars for drop tuning. The strings aren't even that slack in E, an octave lower.

You must not like playing leads...at all :)

I don't mind downtunings...drop A is a mite bit excessive, but Nile can still pull it off prett well.

[quote=Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]I like Breaking Benjamin,well a few songs that ive heard,havent heard much by them actually[/quote]

They are a good band in my opinion, everybody just likes to give me sh*t about them.....I can go from listening to Vehemence to Breaking Benjamin to Lifehouse in a second.......

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww


/pukes



so about CoB....

Damn, Lifehouse is pretty bad lol. I have a few bands that I get made fun of for listening to as well. One being Gunther!!!

i dont really like lifehouse but if it sounds good to me then ill listen to it,it doesnt just have to be metal

agreed, im that ridiculous

CoB haven't really been doing anything lately, 'cept touring the same stuff in US, nothing new. Alexi threw up once though.

yeah there either sick or hurt

Nope.

well he threw up cuz it got so hot on him so that classifies as getting sick,not with a cold of course but still,and janne has got food poisoning idk how many times,along with other things

I can't believe Jaska still played concerts with a broken rib...

broken ribs arent that bad really...

While it wasnt what you were looking for, it could have been worse. It could have been gay p0rn.

Yup.

I've had minor rib factures. Not a big deal, at all really.

I shattered the bone on the edge of my left foot several years ago. That wasn't good.
