Songs in Eb to learn...

[Kabstract]

Megadeth - Youthanasia album

 

[ibanice]

Dream Theater - The Root Of All Evil

 

[GuitaristOfHell]

Anything Guns N' Roses

 

[Djent]

 

[Ill-Gotten James]

Slayer!!!!
Also, very many Black Sabbath songs post-"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" are all in Eb.

One more time...SLAYER!!!

 

[Levi79]

I was beat to Protest The Hero. The timings get pretty crazy, so do the tap sections. Pretty awesome stuff though. Really unique and technical band.

Half of the bay area thrash is in Eb, including 95% of metallica, Slayer, Testament etc. Add older Judas Priest and you have a healthy repertoire of songs to work with.

Not Metallica! They were always in standard... in fact, early albums are about an eighth of a semitone sharp.

Slayer were always in Eb, definitely. And Testament, on The Ritual (I think)

 

[great_kthulu]

can't forget cattle decap!

 

[Wretched]

Man, tons of stuff is Eb!

These are some I like to jam along with...

Helmet - I Know
Disturbed - Stupify, Down With the Sickness and Ten Thousand Fists
Green Day - When I Come Around and Basketcase
Alice in Chains - Them Bones, Dam That River and Man in the Box
Deftones - My Own Summer

And yeah... AIC, Disturbed, Slayer and tons more tune most of the time to Eb. Pantera shit me, because many of their classics were kinda half way between meaning you need to retune again just to play along.

 

[Wretched]

Oh, some more to think about... Yeah, I have 1990s tastes:

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box
Alter Bridge - most of their stuff
Faith No More - Cuckoo for Caca
Linkin Park - a lot of their stuff

This is correct.

Metallica has been playing pretty much everything in Eb live though now for quite some time. They even play Seek and Destroy in D std now

I've been using the Eb tuning since I really got serious about playing guitar. I find it to sound heavy without being mushy, if that makes any sense. Also, most of the bands I like are/were in Eb - Iced Earth, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse etc.

Here are some fun songs to learn:

1 - Slave to the Dark - Iced Earth (The Dark Saga album) - this is the one with the Spawn cover!

2 - The Bleeding - Cannibal Corpse (from the album of the same name)

3 - Lunatic of God's Creation - Deicide (from their self-titled debut)

Have fun!

Stream of Consciousness(One of the best instrumentals ever & 11 minutes long)

The Root of All Evil (Pretty easy for Dream Theater)

Never Enough (A fair balance between the two.)

[Gamma362]

as already stated oldschool nevermore, though anything from the big 4 can be played in eflat, since they all pretty much do that already, with the exception of megadeth.
