yeah i kinda figured they tuned their guitars even further down :) thats why i wrote "drop d tuning of some sort" ... i mean ... its still basically the same ... you gotta tune the e string down 2 half-steps ... :) i love those tunings for metally tunes...i used to tune my 5-string guitar down to c ... but even tuned the higher strings differently ... so my tuning was

c g c g c

hehe

the only drawback (apart from the problems with sound engineers that think you are using standard tuning) was that i had to buy a bass-d-string for the lower c so that it wouldnt be to flabby... and that kinda got expensive :)
