what's your favorite drop d song?

[bunghole]

Kafir!'s got some soloing in drop D, so that

 

[Motorpud]

Mouth for War-Pantera

I'm pretty sure mouth for war isn't in drop d I'd probably say 46 and 2 by TOOL

Damn its my favorite and I thought it was. impulse answer.

Soundgarden- Spoonman

How about this one?

Mouth for War-Pantera

I'm pretty sure mouth for war isn't in drop d I'd probably say 46 and 2 by TOOL

Nate, isn't 46 and 2 in standard?

No sir, in fact I'm pretty sure like 99% of tool is in drop d, the other 1% is in some crazy tuning like BADgbe or BEDgbe (Prison Sex, Parabol/Parabola)

Cool. I knew most of their stuff is dropped, but for some reason I thought that one was standard. I'd say 90% of what I write is dropped too. Lots of cool chords you can play besides the usual root/5th

 

[Motorpud]

Yeah you can do some cool stuff with it. At my old house (much bigger) I had the whole band setup in the basement with a couple monster rigs and me and my buddies would sit around during the summer and drink beer and play random stuff. For times like those I almost always would play in drop d because it just seemed, for me, it was easier to get into a groove and come up with stuff, like for some reason the creativity would just flow better, I dunno. My comfort zone I guess

 

[McGarnagle]

Pretty much anything Richard Thompson does in drop d.

 

[the rossness]

Everlong by the Foo Fighters

 

[headlessdeadguy]

Small Hours

 

[PaulyPanacea]

Dear Prudence - The Beatles

[jlbaxe]

Killing in the name of... luv the whammy pedal parts...kinda makes it seem like your a better player
Slither

 

[mboogman]

Most anything King's X, but I think Lost in Germany takes the cake for me. Love that riff.

 

[D-Rock]

Would

E flat.

 

[brain21]

A slightly different approach:

Malted Milk - Robert Johnson
&
Dear Prudence - (I didn't realize it was in Dropped D until I read it here!)

 

[FixXxer]

Growing on Me - The Darkness

Vampires - Godsmack

All Nightmare Long - Metallica

 

[155]

right now LOG broken hands! rips

[mrp5150]

Any of the Drop D tuned songs on Moontower by Dan Swano. Opeth has alot of great ones as well.

 

[droptrd]

+1

Alice in Chains
and we die young

 

[Beyond Black]

March Of The S.O.D.

 

[Marshall Law]

Another favorite Alice in Chains
Them Bones

 

[skoora]

Helmet - Milquetoast

Prong - Whose Fist It It Anyway (Drop C, same idea though)

RATM - Killing In The Name Of

Cult - She Sells Sanctuary (or maybe just in D)

For me Helmet really established drop D as a force in contemporary heavy music when Meantime came out.

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

Edge of Thorns....hands down!
