Are you guys tuned to Eb live?
J.: Yeah.

And so far in the studio you've used standard tuning, with A at 440?
J.: Yeah.

But you're going to tune down this record?
ROB: Some of it, yeah.
J.: We just didn't know any better back then.

We did the same thing for the first two albums. You said you might use some
different tunings, too, right?
J.: We might tune down even farther; a standard tuning, but way low.

How low? Like, Kyuss low? Like down to C?
J.: Possibly, yeah. I know this band, Crowbar, they play in B. We'll see
what happens.

Piano strings on the guitar.
J.: Yeah! They're like .013s.
ROB: It's weird, though. Detuning makes some stuff so heavy and some stuff
just sound like crap.
J.: Some stuff just doesn't sound good that way. It just depends.






i highly recommend peons.

that's a good interview and i'm pretty sure i had that magazine back in the day but it's not exactly the one i was thinking of. either way the pertinent part of either interview is in the thread hehe.

white zombie ruled!

I am not worthy

see, this is what happens when youre on the billy boy's payroll and using google to find things.


they probably have something embded in your computer keeping it from finding things that easily.

Well so much for thinking Metallica have learned to go back to old-time values along with old-time tuning. I just saw their price list:

WTF is Mission Metallica, a new album?

their new website promoting their upcoming new record.

Where's the "sit-on-hetfield's-lap-and-ask-what-you-want-for-xmas" package?

I'd pay good money for that.

Hmm, I'd pay good money for a good album but I'm somehow not optimistic... Do you realize exactly 2 decades have passed since they've put out anything good?
