Bands You'd like to see move up to 7 strings

[JacksonKE2Shred]

What are some bands you'd like to see start using 7 string guitars? For me it my favorite band, Symphony x for sure aswell as Into eternity, Obscura, Opeth, Gojira and Psycroptic.

Bumping that thread might be a good idea

I agree I'd like to see Symphony X and Opeth using 7 strings though, they would sound so much better in B.

I think Lamb of God would be cool. Wrath made it seem as if they'd run out of those angular ideas that were all over As The Palaces Burn and Laid to Rest albums.

 

[Kheros]

I agree with the Opeth and Gojira, and Symphony X.

Along with them, I'd love to see Breaking Benjamin, In Flames, Sikth, Nile, Soilwork, Sybreed, Mastodon, and Megadeth.

Now, someone needs to make a thread like this except with 8 strings and up.

Days of the New would sound awesome with lower registers.

I think LoG would work well in drop B/A on a 7.

 

[Deadseen]

In flames and Dark tranquility.

I'd really like to hear Opeth using 7s. Porcupine Tree might be able to make good use of them too.

 

[Xiphos68]

Trans Siberian Orchestra

 

[LEWY7777777]

Lamb of God, Opeth, cannibal corpse, suffocation, nile, Chimaira (chimaira had previously used 7stringers).

 

[Xiphos68]

Opeth, cannibal corpse, suffocation, megadeth, Chimaira (chimaira had previously used 7stringers) I would also like to add that many bands using the 7 I happen to like alot.

Oh. Yes Megadeth!

 

[vampiregenocide]

Slipknot (I know a few people are like boooo! But they are sweet guitarists just haven't liked the tone on some of their work)

Mastodon. They use drop and standard tunings anyway it would make sense to use a 7 to have the best of both those worlds. Especially considering they use a tuning of D standard with a dropped A, which is just A standard minus one string. Brent would do crazy things.

Tool.

killswitch engage used to use ibanez universes

I would seriously like to see bands like Green Day or Bad Religion doing seven string stuff. Why? Bands that already tune down like Breaking Benjamin or In Flames wouldn't have much of a difference in sound since they already use lower tunings. The jump for a seven thing only works in sound when the band doesn't use anything like it.

 

[xmetalhead69]

I would like to hear BTBAM go over to sevens, mostly so they can stop using step and a half down tuning

also I'd like to hear Protest the Hero have some low riffs

 

[Scar Symmetry]

Yeah Protest The Hero on 7s could be cool actually.

 

[lucasreis]

Nirvana with seven-strings would have been pretty cool even if Kurt didn't use 5% of the capabilities I think he would come up with some sweet sounding stuff.

Oh, and how could I forget? I would like to see Rush and Living Colour using sevens... that would be RAD!
