I was just going to play "Girls, Girls, Girls" (the album) on the old guitar tonight when I realised it's fucking tuned to D! (possibly even C#?). That's what fucking Death and Vader use! So I gave up and went to play along with Love/Hate's "Blackout In The Red Room" album. Good bit of LA hair metal I thought, until I realised it's tuned to Eb, same as fucking Deicide!
What's THAT all about? Poofy bands using death metal tunings?! o_O
