I read an interview from back in 2000 where Dime said he used 4 different tunings for RTS

If you want to tune like that, then his best bet would be to tune to just standard.

Otherwise playing to the actual record, he should go 1/4 step down from Standard.

But "haha", good one!

Yeah I know. But this jackass obviously doesn't get what you are explaining to him, so the best option for him would just go DGCFAD.
PS - You got any new songs out?

That reminds me of how everyone was telling that guy to get a metronome so he could stop breaking sticks.

Don't know if you heard Eye For An Eye yet but it's been on our myspace. Our cd comes out in about 3 weeks. I'm excited for everyone to hear "Ashes of Pompeii", because we haven't put it online yet. It's fucking badass. I always say it's our "Master of Puppets".

Yeah I've heard Ashes of Pompeii, good song.

Ah shit, wrong song title.

I got it mixed up with The Smell of Napalm in the Mourning.
From seeing this

Ashes of Pompeii and The Smell of Napalm in the Mourning (view more)

I assumed you just shortened the song title. But it's two different songs, my bad.

warhead dime · Post by **warhead dime** » Wed Mar 22, 2006 10:02 pm

That bothers me. That bothers me so much I actually signed onto my band's account and put quotations around both songs names so that when people read it, they will know that it is two different songs and not just one song.

It is hilarious when half of the people here are retarded, and the other half know where the bear shit in the buckwheat, but the only thing the retards do is argue with the other retards... as well as argue with the smart ones. The smart ones don't say anything worth a nickel to the retards because the retards wont listen in the first place.

Correct, but just to shut people up.

"Hey, Dad! What's shaking? This month we're gonna rap about a few ways you can pump maximum heaviness into a riff.

DROP 'EM!

One of the simplest ways to get some extra low-end grind happening is to use what a lot of guys call dropped-D tuning. It can definitely inspire you to jam out some bad-assed riffs. Just drop your low-E string down to D and leave the rest of your strings where they are. Your axe'll by tuned, from low to high, D, A, D, G, B and E. Check it out: hitting the three low strings open gives you a nasty D5 chord (Figure 1), and you can play any power chord you want just using one left-hand finger (Figure 2)! Pantera uses this tuning on the likes of "Primal Concrete Sledge" (Cowboys From Hell) and "No Good (Attack The Radical)" (Vulgar Display Of Power).

If the dropped-D tuning ain't heavy enough for ya, you can always tune you whole guitar down a tone-so your strings go, from low to high, D, G, C, F, A, D. Doing this can make a riff sound heavier than shit, which is why we used it for "Walk" (Vulgar Display Of Power). I'll tell ya, if Phil (Anselmo, Pantera singer) had his way, I would play all our shit in this tuning! To me, though, it's much more effective when used once in a while-if we did it on every song, it'd get old real quick! So, whenever Phil gets on me about it, I just go, "Hey, Dad! Cut it!"
