realized this is my favorite flavor of Alt, something about stacked power chords.

Man, you could do a whole thread on shitty down-tuned 5-string 90s bass.

Dropped D was cool when used as a means of voicing like in the Hum and Smashing Pumpkins examples, as opposed to like Silverchair's "Pure Massacre", which is just boring.

Nirvana All Apologies also used this.
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:44 (twelve years ago)
fourth of july surely
― anonanon, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:45 (twelve years ago)
Fourth of July is in a very weird tuning, from what I remember in learning that tune. it was fun to play.

Self Esteem?
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:46 (twelve years ago)
not sure on that one.
Soundgarden did use it on "OUtshined" and "Spoonman" though
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:47 (twelve years ago)
Alice in Chains - Them Bones
a metal example would be Pantera's "A New Level"

STP - "Dead and Bloated"
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:51 (twelve years ago)
My son's into dropped Db - Drop D all detuned 1/2 step. He tells me that's how All Apologies is played
― Dr X O'Skeleton, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:52 (twelve years ago)
oh, one of my favorite examples:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs02sQxNnV0
the best part isn't the chuggy Drop-D riff, though, but the metallic harmonized verse riff
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:53 (twelve years ago)
Dr X that's probably right, I think he did the half step thing.
the thing I like about Dead and Bloated is that the main riff is played on the 4th and 5th string, no low string (though the low one pops up during the chorus/bridge)
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:55 (twelve years ago)
love Dead & Bloated
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:56 (twelve years ago)
that lame Candlebox song "Change" used it.
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:58 (twelve years ago)
Meatplow by STP?
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:59 (twelve years ago)
that one's in standard
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 22:59 (twelve years ago)
possibly tuned to Eb, but standard EADGBE otherwise
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 23:00 (twelve years ago)
i guess i dont hear it
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 23:00 (twelve years ago)
trying to think of the rest of STP's catalog, seems like they used Dropped-D a lot on their debut (ie, "Piece of Pie"), but not much after that.
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 23:01 (twelve years ago)
from my memory, Meat Plow goes
EBGD 4 4A 4 4 0 2 4 4 4 4 4 x x 4 4 4E 0 2 2 2 2 0 2 x x 2 0 2
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 23:02 (twelve years ago)
heh shoulda thought about the formatting
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 23:03 (twelve years ago)

heart shaped box?
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 23:09 (twelve years ago)
yeah Heart Shape is def an example. just arpeggiated power chords in the verse. good one!
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 23:10 (twelve years ago)
pretty sure Ministry - Just One Fix is too
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 23:11 (twelve years ago)
Marilyn Manson - Beautiful People
Kinda surprised this got this far without these guys. Rage Against the Machine and Alice In Chains got tons of guitarists (for good or bad) using this tuning.
