Q;what key is "flying high again" in?
RR; its in A
Q;when I play crazy train and then go to play FHA , Im a half-tone out . did you tune differently on DOAM as compared to BOO?
RR:yes,we tuned down one half step when we recorded diary
Q;why?
RR;when we were recording the second album, the tuner we had was miscalibrated,and I began to like the sound of being tuned down a half step for some of those songs.
A lot of people tune down a half step, but Id never done it before then.
It gives a much heavier sound to the chords, and it just gives you a meaner sound, overall.
when we play live, some of the songs are tune down and some are not, so I use different guitars which are tuned accordingly.
