I tried C sharp standard and I got a lot out of it, it has more to offer than a drop tuning. I perfer starndards over drops. Everyone should try them! |

In 16 years of playing in bands i used a lot of tunings. But all of them were standard tunings.
Septic Suffering D standard.
Decapitation (NL) D and later Eb standard.
Bowel Rupture E standard.
Côte d'Aver B standard. (7str. BEADGBE, 6 str. BEADGB)
Hell Mary (AUS/NL) E standard.
Grinroth B standard (7str excl.)
Abrupt Demise E standard (i use the 7 str. there, songs written in E.)
Murder of Innocence (NL) B standard (7-str. excl.)
The only band in wich i use also non-standard tunings is a non-metalband.
Hedera Helix (NL)
E-Standard, EADADE and DADGAD, |

For metal it would be dropped tuned type stuff. We tune to drop B. But you just cant play chords like you can in standard tuning. |

Yea mostly dropped tunings sound a lot better. I prefer dropped C or dropped A. My guitar is mostly on dropped A because I have 7-string guitar. |

Bass:
I like to play some songs cranked way high on tuning.
I like to play other really low, perhaps Drop B - or just a five string.
Guitar:
Drop C is awesome.

Randomly distune your guitar, till you find something that lets you play pants-shitting intense chords with a small flick against the strings.

I've done that on one of my cheap guitars. Didn't sound so good.

Really? I usually have good luck with. Just strumming and turning the knobs around till it all comes together, and within a minute I have something that catches my ear.
I've even tried it on a junk First-Act with only the three bass strings left. Had a fun time riffing on that and had about five easy chords(with some of their intervals swapped for another).
