Laserface posted:All their live stuff is played a step or two down. my band did it too because its way easier to play show after show (as a singer) when you're only hitting half your range than if you're playing it in E every night. nah they've been tuning to e flat live since the mid-90s, but that was primarily so they didn't have to keep switching guitars between the load and earlier stuff still too high for james' voice

here's a weird one though- slayer tuned to d for live undead where they re-recorded a bunch of show no mercy stuff that was originally in e i wonder why they didn't stick with that instead of tuning back up to e flat for chemical warfare and everything after until the late 90s

gohmak posted:For us that don't read music, wtf? I'm not a good musician but the general rule with guitar is that when you down-tune, like you lower your low-e string to D, or you tune the entire guitar down an entire step (drop c tuning), you make certain chords easier to play, and it allows people with lower registers/older people to sing along without risking blowing their voice out. it also sounds 'heavier'. So basically it's something of a cheat, lacking any real creativity you can hack some "heaviness" into your music by tuning down, you let your singer off the hook, you make it so that the bassist and the guitarist pretty much just need to strum palm muted open strings/chords most of the time if you're in a metal band. So if you're an old boner in metallica or slayer, you might want to play some of that music you played as an old coked up 20-something, and to get there without sounding terrible you probably gotta do this.

I was on the floor for the show and when creeping death started a mosh pit opened up right where I was standing, the first thing I saw was this big drunk guy get PUNCHED RIGHT IN THE FACE and then he stumbled around sticking his tongue out at people for ten minutes before he got escorted out. Good times
