Not many people use it that much really. Origionally we were Standard E which was weird because we were wicked heavy and whenever we'd play shows people would be so shocked to find out that we played Standard E. We decided to go a little heavier. Death is one of our biggest influences so we decided to try Standard D and loved it. It's heavy but it's also clean enough for amazing sounding solos I feel. Nice lows, good highs, over all I think it's a great tuning. |

| ______________________________________ [May 15,2007 9:46am - hungtableed ""] Best of luck to Minh he's a fuckin cool dude and good luck with the search guys. We're a bunch of losers, we just started writting songs in D standard. We're queer because the rest of our songs are in dropped C. Drop tuning is for steers and queers. |
| ____________________________________ [May 15,2007 3:54pm - immortal13 ""] I definitely like it because of my influence from Death. I just think there's little point in tuning down ridiculously low. |
| __________________________________ [May 15,2007 4:25pm - Sinistas ""] DS has been tuning to D for at least 5 years. Not sure about before that. I dig. |
| __________________________________ [May 15,2007 4:59pm - brian_dc ""] I was pleasantly wrong. |
| ____________________________________ [May 15,2007 5:44pm - immortal13 ""] I was also man. I had no idea this many bands played it, but who cares. It sounds good, and that's still only a handful of bands doing it in this world of bands that detune their guitars ridiculously low. |
| ____________________________________ [May 15,2007 5:54pm - immortal13 ""] By the way, we're not gonna officially need a guitarist for another couple of months, and Minh will be staying in the band until the kid is born, which should be in November. So if anyone is going to be needing a band by then, let us know and we'll set something up. |
| _____________________________________ [May 15,2007 6:07pm - xanonymousx ""] D standard tuning is cool, its not too low like A# gives a nice punch. at the gates tunes in B standard i believe or drop B i think its standard. |
| _____________________________________ [May 15,2007 6:07pm - xanonymousx ""] good luck finding a guitarist. |
| ____________________________________ [May 15,2007 6:10pm - immortal13 ""] They tune standard B I believe. Thanks a lot man! |
