The SS.org Tunings Thread

[RevDrucifer]

I spent many hours during college learning Facelift on bass, and from what I recall, all the songs were either Eb or D standard.

Just learned "Love, Hate, Love" yesterday, that's in E and I know "Man In The Box" is E...

I know everything on Dirt was down a half step or drop D/Drop D down half step.

 

[RevDrucifer]

"Wherever I May Roam" was always really fucking heavy to me as well.

And not so much a brutally heavy guitar sound itself, but Queensryche's "Screaming In Digital" was always a heavy tune to me. Same with "I Am I", but that might be down a half step, can't remember.

I'm pretty sure in an interview the guitar player said they tune to E flat standard.

perhaps they do now, but most of Decimate The Weak is in Drop D

 

[NaYoN]

most of winds of plague is actually in drop D

Actually most of their stuff is standard with the occasional drop d. The songs I posted are all standard. The Great Stone War album is all standard, and Decimate The Weak is mostly standard with a few drop d in there. Not 100% on their newest album, but several songs off the top of my head are standard.

HELSTAR not super ultra brutz but pretty fuckin awesome

Take the 2 string barred chords you play in a drop tuning, put it into a standard tuning, palm mute it, Gojira.

Um... not too sure about "Love, Hate, Love", but "Man in the Box" is in Eb. I am 10000000000000% sure, seriously.
I guarantee it; if you play along with it while being in E standard and it doesn't sound REALLY, REALLY BAD, I will kick a puppy and punch a kitten.

Oh, and virtually every song I can think of from Dirt is in Drop Db/C#.

Probably been said already - Cynic.
and Death come to think of it (I think...)*

*this could well be entirely false

 

[Stealth7]

Death is D Standard
AIC is mostly Eb with some songs in Drop Db
Gojira is D Standard

[Floppystrings]

Inspired by a similar thread.

I never usually play other bands material, but I am kind of curious. As of right now I don't even know which bands use A standard other than Korn.

 

[Stealth7]

Korn
Fear Factory Obsolete onwards
Divine Heresy
New Obscura album
The new Necrophagist album will be... When it will finally comes out!

So few bands for A standard.

I guess it isn't very popular.

 

[IntoEternity22]

I'm pretty sure Bloodbath plays in A standard.

Very much so.

 

[Stealth7]

I'm pretty sure Bloodbath plays in A standard.

I think Eaten is the only one... Not too sure though.

I know Gorod used a 7 string tuned to A on a song or two on the Leading Vision album.

 

[BrainArt]

Drop A.

 

[Tomo009]

Bloodbath have some in B, some in Drop A and some in A standard I'm pretty sure. If I remember correctly, Cry My Name and Hades Rising are in A standard.
