Right?! I love Robb for that alone.

Even thinking about it hurts my brain :D

Yeah but with extended range guitars like 7 or 8 string guitars it would be the 2nd or 3rd string so it changes.

Amen brother.

Your not alone. It definitely makes more sense🤟

Eargasm city right.

My favorite part of the song tbh

I know.

@@thallrudedjentstorm1756 nah he’s pretty good. Better a majority of these wannabe fucks nowadays.

U know nothing about guitar playing, boy, if u think that this guy playing good 😆

Nope.

AdamBa17 fear factory?

Vámos Györk Fear Factory uses Standard Tunning, and seven string guitars.

Fear factory started using 7 strings on demanufacture. Before that they played on B standards. Actually, I'm not even sure they recorded demanufacture with a 7 string cause on the video for replica it looks like dino is playing a 6 string.

But if it was in Standard, it's not Drop, still.

Nirvana tuned to drop c for their song blew in 1989.

yep

I mean I know for Revocation and Children of Bodom its the same deal, but still..

bodom is a bit faster from my opinion? but then again, i know NOTHING of playing a quitar:D they're all amazing tho

PSMTCHEF matt heafy from Trivium does too

I honestly dont think any trivum parts are as rhythmically challenging as the chorus of locust. Its just insane how hard it is to sing the chorus and play the riff at the same time

+Mr. Smith we know, and bands have been using drop tuning since forever.

Mr. Smith no way?!!!!

Like. What if I told you, CHA.....

I'm sure some Led Zeppelin songs were in Open C too. As for pure metal, I don't know the timeline exactly, but Morbid Angel for example used seven string guitars pretty early on. Some early Sepultura songs were in standard C I think. Hell, even Korn released their album the same year as MH.

​@@kittavares4334Bolt Thrower tuned to A standard in 1989 for Realm of Chaos, first band to go that low from what I know.

40 cents sharp would mean get a tuner and then once you are perfectly at drop B just slightly tune it up to about 40% of the way to the next semitone which would be C...not a difficult concept

Ghost.Flowers You'd think that right lmao. But some people have no fucking clue lolol:P

True lol I guess I might be giving people a bit too much credit

A lot of people would not even bother to try it (or be capable)

If you have the ability to cover this song in the first place, I would have thought you’d have the ability to figure out the tuning?

Ofcourse morbid angel was tuning to B standard down tuning by 1990, machine head used drop B tuning by late 90s

I'm a big MH fan but it is childish/cheese dickey of him to say.

There was tons of stuff in b before they did it.

I love how you immediately have people replying to you saying “other people did it first” like they didn’t even read what you said. Guys, saying you are “ONE OF the first” is super different from saying “the first.” He’s not saying MH was the first band to do it, he’s just saying that they were in the first handful of bands that started doing it

@@RockyLXXXVIII This is full with little kids getting all worked up for nothing.

Hell yeah!

I know that your comment is very old but Robb didn't invent shit!!

@@andrepereira744 haha I know, I was making fun of him as he's the sort of delusional weirdo that would say that

@@higler. Oh My bad, buddy! You did the right thing then! :)

it really is

WARNING: You might end up starting a huge fight with ALOT of people, even though I agree xD.

SerjShower but he isn't wrong..... and i dislike Robb FLynn

When it comes to who's better than who, it's all matter of opinion. I think Kerry is a great guitarist. Same with Robb Flynn and Phil Demmel. And others like Dave Mustaine, Tommy Iommi, Randy Rhoads, Jim ROot etc etc. But when people say somebody is better than somebody else, it's usually because they just like them better than the other.

Dimebag is ONE of my favorite guitarist, but I'd have to say that the best guitarist in my opinion is Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom or Dave Mustaine from Megadeth

It's an absolute mindfuck what he can do

+Röss Lämönt I couldn agree more. Case in point, many myopic metallica fans tend to write-off Load and Reload albums just because it was not thrash. Who cares right? They were solid rock albums and had great songs. I detest people who expect their favorite bands to confine themselves to whatever their origins are in.

Endgame wasn’t the only trash album they’ve released, United Abominations, Dystopia and partially Th1rt3en

Its called "to have an identity" and there's no problem with that!! In fact the big majority of bands and artists never get one but they thing otherwise. Sure I undersand your pov, still its better for a band to have a sound and identity of their own than to sound like everyone else, imho. And that dosen't mean they have to do the same song over and over!! (some) Bands and artists "nowadays" complain and make big "artistic" statements about that. That they don't want to be stuck in some sound/style, they don't want to do the same thing again and again. The "problem" to me is that most of them, don't have an original sound to begin with, they never really developed their own identity/sound but they think they have. So they start that cliche speech about wanting to "evolve" and changing. Changing from what? "You" were never anything. And its even worse because they say that like they have an higher vision of things. Evolving my ass!! Most of the "evolving" process they do, consists on adding new sounds or instruments, because the music structure is exactly the same as milions before. Its an easier process, but they sell this as a very hard thing to do. I mean, its very easy for some death metal band to make an album full of bongo drums, pan flautes, viloins and triangles and then say to the public "we evolve". BS. I'm not against bands changing their sound and experiment, but if every artist/band do the same all the time, what's the point of having diferent artists? I mean, that's basically the concept of a covers band. The thing is, "you" can't be everything! I know that at the end of the day bands/artist do whatever they want but I don't need a Madonna heavy metal album or a Metallica pop-dance album. Without forgeting to mention, that most bands/artist that became world famous, was because they have their own sound. I like my oranges tasting like oranges and my apples tasting like apples.

I thought i was the only one who noticed

Robb comes across as being very full himself. Very annoying

Nick Nelson what? He said one thing about the band which is a group of people. Not himself. Robb is actually a very nice guy. The catharsis incident also happened after this video was made so you guys should just shut the fuck up.

Metallica Rulz Catharsis incident?

@@alecschor4506 is this why his whole band quit on him. Or why he opted to pay adam duce less then the whole band, or worse declined to do the Roadrunner United album in till they paid him much much more then the other artists on the album. Long time Machine Head fan but Rob has always seemed like an ass to me.

+AXE SLINGER Which Sabbath songs are in drop tunings?

all of them........ Bb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb,

You know what drop tuning is, right? Also, most of Sabbath is Db-Gb-B-E-Ab-Db

one string or all strings....Zepp (moby dick) the doors, beatles all played or drop D tunings...my point is this dude learned it from musicians that played it many years ago.....

+AXE SLINGER Yeah that's a fair point. I just remember Tony for sounding so heavy without drop tuning.

+Dark Nebula don't confuse drop tuning with down-tuning Drop tuning is when you tune the lowest string a whole tone lower from regular tuning and that was evident in the 90s and later on. Bands like Pantera, Korn, Deftones and Machine Head were all brought up in the first half of the 90s, and they would all use that drop tuning sonic vibe.

I don't recall Pantera using Drop B or below C# standard tuning, unless Dimebag started with Drop B and below in Damageplan, but Deftones never got into C# tuning or below until their fourth album in 2003. I also don't recall that Deftones have used Drop B because John Carpenter uses seven or eight strings and Chino probably didn't start playing guitar specifically with C# standard or Drop B.

+zippy1911 Not ONE of the first?

He's not saying he 'invented' drop tuning. Bands like Sabbath certainly made use of it in and amongst what they were doing at the time but Machine Head were one of the bands that took the idea and pioneered using it exclusively

+JEENOX D Sabbath never drop tuned. Drop tuning is to do with the 6th string being an octave below the 4th. Iommi never did that (or at least very rarely)

John Moore exactly!

Whoa, you do know "The Blackening" exist!!??!!??

Tony Stark Unto the Locust is very underrated

Rated Designs BLACK SABBATH

+Rated Designs can't spell crap without rap

+Rated Well, it's patently wrong. Just in hard rock and heavy metal spheres, Soundgarden, Helmet, and King's X were doing drop tunings before Machine Head was formed. The Beatles had a song in Drop-D, for crying out loud. So did Led Zeppelin and Van Halen. It predates Machine Head. They may have been the first band to popularize Drop-B specifically, but they assuredly did not pioneer the concept of tuning the low string an additional full tone down.

Every good point that you've said lost credibility when you said ''crappy electronic, auto tuned, fake crap'' making you the same idiot that agree with Stairway to Heaven being a rip off. What a shame.

Danny Sykes Sabbath never used drop tunings. Sabbath used DOWN tunings. Drop tunings have the 6th and 4th strings an octave apart, making the 6th and 5th strings a perfect fifth. Down tunings have you tune every string down by the same interval. Sabbath play in C# Standard (C#F#BD#G#C#) 99% of the time live nowadays, whereas a band like Lamb of God plays in Drop C# (C#G#C#F#A#D#) live. In C# Standard , the whole guitar is one and a half tones lower than E Standard, whereas in Drop C#, the 6th string is one and a half tones lower than E Standard while the rest of the guitar is half a tone lower than E Standard.

"One of the first" he said

How else do you think drop tuning was introduced?

I'm just saying they weren't the first one

SpinalAlloy No one even knows if there is a band that introduced drop tuning. I'm just saying what I think. All I want was to know who you think introduced drop tuning.

Who do I think? As far as metal goes, I say Led Zeppelin...but that's just me

But you do have a point there

Get a life

Burning Red and Supercharger were a combination of Roadrunner pushing Machine head to be something they weren't and Rob and co trying out new sounds to see if they could fit in with the up-coming nu-metal wave in the late 90's/early 00's. The former had its' good moments (The blood, the sweat, the tears and Devil with the Kings' card), but both albums are ranked quite low in a Machine Head fans' list because of the difference in sound to the first 2 albums. In fact 'Charger nearly killed them off after the Crashing Around You video was released about a week before 9/11, and they suffered a huge media backlash because of it. That said, I still think my all-time favourite album they've done is Ashes Of Empires. A brutal return to their older sound. And I don't care that some new-generation 'metaaaaaaal' douches really seem to hate MH, they're pretty much my all-time favourite band and Bloodstones & Diamonds is a superb record.
