Today's music is mostly GARBAGE

Sleep Token is Imagine Dragons with down tuned guitars imo.

Ha!! My 8 year old son loves Imagine Dragons. I’ve listened to a few other ST tracks since I posted and it’s ok. It kinda gives me an Deftones vibe tbh. Again, my musical taste just never evolved past the age of about 23-25. I’m a hard rock/metal fan but just stopped listening to the radio after college and never had a desire to seek out new bands to like. And the rap I like is DEFINITELY 90’s and early 00’s. That mumble rap shit is awful to me and whatever is popular now I probably just don’t know about.

Gotta tune it down. Both of my guitars are tuned to C standard. And then I play through a fuzz and a wah. Brutal.

Down tuning just makes everything heavier. I remember the first time I heard Black Sabbath tuned to E flat or Soundgarden in D.

The problem now is that extreme metal has embraced more strings, most notably an additional B string below E. So everybody is playing in B standard but not down tuning so to speak.
