Andrew Baena how many half steps does the Our Lady Of Perpetual Sorrow drop by during that real heavy part?

[@BaenaCarcosa]

@@LucasBozovich I think an octave but I can't remember

[@FuzzImp]

You may have had a low point in life. But you’ll never be lower than *downtuned Acacia Strain*

[@blankspace0000]

Acacia Strain is one of the few deathcore bands i can really listen to for any extended period of time. Their songs have a very pleasing progression to them and plenty of spooky melodic parts mixed in with all the heavy shit.

[@Cosmotose]

Whatever beauty you've just described, i swear is the secret to consistent great music. Maybe changing things every 8-16 bars or something basic at its core.

[@CineMusician]

This is damn right ridiculous but I had chills from that drop Z note 🤣

[@johnnygotgrowls]

I ❤️TAS. That is all, enjoy the video 🙏🏻

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

We need one for Hatebreed, Stick To Your Guns, Converge, and Every Time I Die.

[@dannybardon2934]

Jason LovesABR I’ve been saying Hatebreed for a little while now

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

@@dannybardon2934 Yeah man, the OG hardcore/metalcore bands need a bit more love. I already know what modern day Norma Jean sounds like since they already tune low.

[@mpa719]

STYG would be tight!

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

@@mpa719 Yeah man, I'm killing it with leg day with True View on. Still feel like it's their best and most underrated effort yet. Every song is a banger. Though, I always skip The Reach For Me. Decent track if it were written by Foo Fighters.

*When Andrew Baena turns into a rapper* (5:03)

[@maciejmackekiebasa4131]

When job for a cowboy? Andrew?...

[@tygyrlylly8079]

Doom album specifically please

[@osiris07lv]

That guitar tone is filthy. Definitely got goose bumps on this one.

[@jamesrowe2055]

That aristides guitar Johnny is playing is the shit 👊

[@owenfamily100]

The first song to me sounded similar to a suicide silence song disengage

[@vincentcabrera4248]

Skynet was 2008,Disengage was 2010 Kind of similar but not really.

[@tfwnoyandere]

no time to bleed was released mid 2009

[@tylerbaars1173]

Disengage is basically almost the same riff played upwards with slightly different rhythm. I see the comparison I doubt it was intentional though. The context in which it is used is different

[@darrellwinter9487]

This is awesome, but it also explains why they don't tune lower. I think their sound is iconic and has more... hmm.. character??

[@FerretChloride]

I’d love to see Dance Gavin Dance tuned down just since it’d just be so different from your usual stuff!

[@darthkijin4965]

Job for a cowboy tuned down. Come on bro

[@toxictator4561]

the fact that running all those riffs in order still sounded like a whole ass song.

[@NivanSharma]

Super low and heavy asf right now 🤘🏼🎸🎶

[@jmd4free]

Sounds like their new album. Lol

[@SiaManOnDeath]

Time & Death & God is my favorite one

[@SadSketti]

Siavash Tamizy such a good song

[@Reaper1911-]

I needed this in my life.

[@duradrian1]

The round bridge cable spice matches well with their sound

[@scottwelch9340]

Seeing "The Impaler" live literally made me grind my teeth

[@tfwnoyandere]

i wished they played that so bad when i saw them

[@henrikswanstrom9218]

The Impaler sounded sick

[@thefallcon5130]

what іf Oceano tuned down ?

[@johnnygotgrowls]

The world would end.

[@dale.5051]

i need this

[@dr.knecht9104]

Acacia in Double drop D Equals Black Tongue (breakdowns only)

[@BIOTREX]

The Impaler on guitars tuned that low sounds like it would be in Doom Eternal

[@jakeschultz356]

I cannot believe how fucking insane this video is

[@Sv4NNe]

Next video: Iron Maiden Double Drop D

[@Mole_King]

I'm officially a MAN now. I've listened to this three times now. Time for round 4.

[@Mole_King]

I don't think I've ever thrashed my head around harder than this. I wonder what my coworkers think right now.

[@BaysingersDiscGolfChannel]

Damn that's heavy

[@osiris07lv]

You ever do a what if All Shall Perish tuned down?

[@tfwnoyandere]

too hard

[@OkDude7861]

Traitors next? I feel like the final breakdown at the end of Arrogance downtuned even more would be NASTY.

[@Dwoalin]

Killer video as always. Also, nice Here's to You Issues long sleeve ;)

[@TrithemiusFinnegan]

4:48 Genuine showmanship there m8

[@Sjrm126]

Johnny 😍

[@FalconzFan13]

Idk what tf double drop D is but it sounds sick AF

[@Dirty_Diesel_Gabe]

It's drop D an octave lower

[@metalheadblues]

9 string tuning

[@TheShadowMilitia]

Impaler is DIRTYYY

[@BenRogersWPG]

SO GNARLY! This was awesome! They're already so low-tuned, so to hear it gutter-low is just so devastatingly heavy. Enjoyed this one! Beast, Tactical Nuke, and JFC were especially awesome

[@kaynesantor8136]

What? No brown note in triple drop z? And you guys think you're heavy..... Glad hes loving his purple people eater. That thing is nasty, bro. Nice work. Much likes.

[@deathbysonar]

Pretty brutal tone

i was about to ask why you didnt play "Rope" then i remembered that's by Obscure of Acacia.........

[@MrSetigod]

What if Down tuned Down?

Thank you Johnny!! And Andrew!!

[@bruceanthony8345]

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

[@patriotstreammedia3635]

0:51 The Beast 1:50 The Impaler. Those are my favs ^_^

[@rossh2386]

i feel like this is how they play all the old songs anyway so this is top tier

[@iletthedevilin828]

Jesus fucking Christ this is heavy. You should do if spite tuned down next.

[@hagggle3727]

I wish I could figure out how to have such a thick, Yukon Cornelius-esque beard like Johnny has.

DAMNIT ANDREW WHAT STRING GAUGES DO YOU USE

What if The Darkness tuned down!

[@jake5590]

The very end 🤣🤣 it's gone.... lmao like, not even gonna try and find that one. It's in the abyss

[@xazien]

It’s been a fat minute since I heard some Acacia Strain🔥

[@jbasti227]

As if TAS couldn’t have possibly gotten any heavier. DIABLO

[@jakobwest4811]

Isn't this basically how they play Continent live now? I don't remember if Devin switched guitars or transposed last time I saw them.

[@themightymcb7310]

They play Continent and earlier stuff in drop G# usually now, but they'll transpose some of the easier songs like Crossgates or Crippling Poison so it sounds the same on the 8 strings

[@JakobShoutsBack]

2:24 doomblade is so heavy its almost funny

[@Eirik_Bloodaxe]

Lmao I was waiting for Tactical Nuke to show up.

[@LilComedown]

Damnit Andrew I just bought new headphones and I think this broke them Worth it

[@TooMuchSascha]

When's the "Black Tongue riff eveolution" video

[@Hellseeker1]

I got the perfect setup if you got a 7 string, buy a pack of NY 8 string pack and toss the highest string. Tune guitar to GDGCFAD or 2 steps down drop A (AEADGBE) I'm using Boss TU-3. Might have to widen the nut for bottom string since it's 80 gauge, I used a triangle file. I lowered the action on that string also. Don't need an 8 string just saying. Sounds just like em through My Invader 2 Channel 3 with a Fortin Grind and Zuul noise gate. I'm using a Schecter Diamond 7 String with the Fishman Modern Pickups.

[@Dirty_Diesel_Gabe]

Meshuggah tuned down?!?!🎸🤘

[@Shady272]

Some of these are actual improvements over the originals

[@desturbed13]

Oh hell yeah.

[@redneckmetalhead1931]

Time & Death & God sounds very similar to The Saw is the Law, IMO. Coincidence or happy accident?

[@drperkyreal4686]

New series idea: What if [band] tuned *up*

[@acoustic4772]

Nasty!

[@tristansmith7921]

What is Varials tuned down

[@matthewgiordano5212]

Bitter pill sounded sick!

[@randucci]

Spicy Meshuggah

[@MatDeCesare]

We’ve reached the point of low where tonality becomes indistinguishable from drive and you just hear scratching. Lol

[@tfwnoyandere]

probably all the treble in the bass lol

Dat Andrew Baena double drop D tone tho

[@kalebtowne]

They have an UnReplicable sound

Impaler is straight doom

[@brano_1410]

the kick your basist video

[@fvnk0]

What if Black Tongue tuned down?

[@carlocastillo1940]

Wormwood is by far there best album

[@Allen1uk]

Stock in the Ormsby? I have the same model but in purple... was looking at some bkp but dunno if they will work?!

[@darrinwiley3193]

I forgot how bad death is the only mortal sucked

[@timothymckane6362]

If Lorna Shore tuned down (8 String)?

[@jakedemolisher5032]

Amazing. Lmao

[@jroberts8263]

I wonder how terrible the fast riffs on Continent sound. Skynet sounded cool, then it slowly went downhill.

[@MichaelGrahamm]

hey man! Ive been looking at other guitar companys. hows that solar? they look like nice builds. honest opinion on it?

[@dale.5051]

what if oceano tuned down

[@rhodesICT]

No Dead Walk? 😢

[@ahmiit_]

I m curious about ac dc or guns n roses tuned down
