Metal bands using b tuning?

gomes · 04-14-2006, 03:51 PM

Hi!

I am trying to make up a list of B tuned players (to look up their tabs afterwards on guitar pro's msb).

Here's what I got, so far:

Novembre
Steve Vai
Emperor
Soilwork
Arcturus
sun caged
at the gates
edge of sanity
fear factory
carcass
arch enemy

Anyone willing to add some to the list?

Soilwork actually uses C. Drop-D down one whole step is the current popular "metal tuning".

You know, for those losers who aren't cool enough to play sevens.

Amon Amarth (at least "Fate of Norns")

thank you.... lol, no, but seriously.... this is the tuning all the kids use that go "chugga chugga *dissonant high notes*" and repeat. you'd be suprised at how many 'guitar players' i know that don't know what a standard tuning is.

and not all of vais songs are in B either just FYI, he changes tuning more than i change my underwear

oh unearth, and slipknot (they use drop b, and sometimes drop A)

thanks

Soilwork uses b tuning, at least until figure number five. I am aware some of the bands use other tunings on different albums/songs..

Soilwork & Arch Enemy used B tuning on earlier releases, but both now use C.

Type O Negative use B standard for everything. Linear Sphere and Biomechanical use sevens. Jed Simon in Strapping Young Lad tunes to B, although Devin tunes to an open C chord.
Tom Kopyto uses either B or Drop A on the seven, and D on the six, as do Adagio (sans the drop A. Inner Road is D standard on a six string).
Kings X use BF#DGBE occsionally, although I can't name any songs in that tuning off the top of my head.
Incidentally, I always thought Carcass tuned to C...

Not so....both use CGCGCG tuning for SYL. Check out their "Ask The Band" section of the SYL forum.

Nope.....everything is in B. This is the bancd that got me interested in B tunings in the earlier 90s.
