Drop A#

[akguitarmaster]

winds of plauge is standard 100%

 

[Despised_0515]

Potentially fixed list. Correct/flame me if you feel it's necessary.

I think The Acacia Strain uses drop A#, maybe it's drop Ab or just drop A. Someone told me that Bury Your Dead tunes to drop A#

About your Cannibal Corpse "correction", Bb and A# are the same thing.

Just saying.

I've also been playing in A# lately by accident while setting up my guitar to go back down to B and ended up with the tension on my floyd where my string would want to tune to A#.

 

[BrutalityBBC]

From The Shallows plays in Drop A#

 

[Enselmis]

Most of the album Train of Thought by Dream Theater is in C standard.

behemoth dont play drop A#, they play c#, and i think i they drop it to drop b, and they also play drop A, i should know, im like the biggest behemoth fan of all time, before zos kia kultis the played in e standard or could have dropped the e to d.

If you're playing in C standard, please learn some black dahlia murder. that is all.

oh, and watch the necropolis music video haha

 

[Jogeta]

VEILS and Ghosts Over Japan both use Drop A#

 

[Adam Of Angels]

- In Flames are old stuff are C standard, and once Come Clarity came out (maybe even with STYE) it's been C with a low A#

You can find Bb/A# songs on Clayman (in fact, a lot of them are).

In Flames is some of the most fun metal to play, so definitely learn a bunch of their stuff.

 

[vampiregenocide]

Sybreed use A#/Bb I believe.

 

[Mexi]

for the fallen dreams plays in dropped A#
and like other posters said, TBDM, In flames and Dethklok are all C standard

You can find Bb/A# songs on Clayman (in fact, a lot of them are).

the song "Colony" off their Colony album is also dropped A#, quite an awesome riff

 

[JacksonKE2Shred]

Dethklok and Into Eternity use C standard.

+1

Flies on Miasma is a REALLY fun song to play.

 

[conorreich]

Winds of Plague actually use standard and drop d.

Impaler and One body too Many are in drop at least.

I agree with the Black Dahlia Murder learning as well. Deathmask Divine off Nocturnal is kick ass and fun.

Really? I'll have to go back and listen to it since it's probably my least listened to In Flames album. Not sure why cause it's got some killer tracks.

 

[Triple-J]

Nothingface and Spineshank

Yeah, I was thinking about Ab the entire time I made those "corrections," so I messed that one up, you're right. Death Walking Terror is in Ab/G# (there see, I know enharmonic notes...) for instance, but most of their stuff is in Bb/A#, whatever you want to call it.

 

[etiam]

Bb really is the better term to use, as it makes more sense with respect to open string pitches, key signatures, etc.

As for bands that use it, well, I play/have played in three of them, but none of them are of any note as of now, so I doubt it'd be helpful to you. (If I used emoticons, now would be the time.)
