It sucks Chi wont be able to see the fans' reaction to his final work, or play it live. But I can only imagine that this is what he wouldve wanted, rather than Eros never being heard.

Comfort he said he can't comfortably play 6 anymore because it feels like he's playing a little toy guitar so instead he uses the 7 with the 6 string tuning like you said above just to keep the comfortable feel of the bigger neck and stuff.

Yeah the whole show was full on. By far the best show i've seen by them. Hope they come out again soon! Awsome venue choice, close up and personal! lol So glad they played rosemary, that was awsome!

I believe its just to get an interesting flavour on different chords. Think about it, if you wanted to do dissonant chords on the higher strings, you would only have to use 2 frets! Also, open chord voicings could get interesting if you have an open E on the top and bottom, and then you fret one of the top E's as another note.

yeah he saw how wes tuned his guitars, and just thought it'd be easier to have his 7 string guitars tuned that way for the older stuff or something. I can't remember what interview, but he said something like that

Man, has anybody had much luck getting a Stephen Carpenter tone on the Pod HD/Pod Farm at all? I am wondering what amp sim would be closest to his set up.

After listening to them since Adrenaline came out, and constantly listening to Koi No Yokan, I actually think it surpasses White Pony as their Magnum Opus album. I also think Diamond Eyes is better than White Pony. Both albums take that atmosphere and add something more... I don't know how to explain but I love it.
