Since every pre-1993 Guns song was in E-flat tuning/a half-step down (minus The Garden which was Drop D a half-step down, otherwise known as Drop C#), that would seem to suggest some CD, VR, or otherwise unknown songs are included. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or...a lot of bands drop down when playing live bc it's easier on the singer....just had a discussion about this with a buddy of mine who is in a band.

You're right that it's not uncommon - we've seen that with KISS and AC/DC too. However, that would be a first for Guns N' Roses. It would also suggest that not all the songs are being tuned down to help Axl because only three of the basses are marked alternatively. My gut says CD songs.

All the songs on the UYI tour were played in the original keys. Don't confuse the fact that GNR plays a half-step down (E-flat tuning) with changing the keys of the songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redout Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) im gonna chime in here. Slash to this day always plays a half step down, it has actually messeed up performances in the past, such as his super bowl appearance with BEP. My guess would be that those are in regular tunings, and would be used on CD songs as they are in normal key, and probably a couple other songs such as out to get me, or bad obession which are in open tunings as he would be playing the travis bean or a slide guitar. Just saying. Edited March 28, 2016 by Redout 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably you could say they've dropped the key of the covers they do since they just do them in their typical E-flat tuning, but otherwise we've never had say a Civil War dropped to D minor or anything like that. 1 minute ago, GunnerOne 84 said: I thought they were half a step down? Or is that just on the albums? He's incorrect - they were a half step down live as well. No changes. The only exceptions in GNR's back catalogue are Bad Obsession (open tuning on Slash's guitar) and The Garden as I previously mentioned. They've never changed a key live. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
