There are lots of bands that do that tuning for certain songs . Or just for there over all tuning . I love it .

In my opinion, venturing below B is pretty dumb, since you're already fighting for the bassist's space in the mix by dropping lower than D. B, A, etc end up making the entire band sound muddy.

If you're interested, the best is Veil of Maya ;]
Their guitarist is a beast!
They're in Drop B, by the way. Look up "It's Not Safe to Swim Today", "Mark the Lines", or "It's Torn Away".

I know good stuff comes from drop B, I really like the new Slipknot album. I'm just saying, lower than that doesn't seem practical to me.

I understand , but to me it feels so good and different . Its practical and thats the charm for me , plus it sounds like muddy and very huge too . Plus the bass can be heard , just have to eq it abit . But most times you can still hear it , only in recording you really cant hear it cause ya need to mix it and what not .

Its just so much lol but enough to make some interesting stuff . To be honest i meant a 9 string like the guy from High on Fire as his . But a 8 string is pretty good .

ive come to a conclusion that Drop C makes things sound cool and heavy, but the best tuning is Drop D. its annoying to go any lower than Drop C, so i never go lower. and i dont really care because i like to be able to hear music instead of a bunch of rumbling strings. bright tone is the best

I love any tuning as long it sounds good .

Unless you buy an agile, it would be more economic to buy a 7 string and tune it to open c (G,C, G, C, G,C,E) ala Devon Townsend. Only one note difference from the 8 strings F# standard tuning. Personalty I want an 8 string so I can tune to either A standard (A,D,G,C,F,A,E,G) or B standard (B,E,A,D,G,B,E,A). I just have to find a pack of strings that'll take such a high tuned 1st string at that neck length.
