I love this tuning ever since I got good enough to do some Nikki's bass lines from Crüe. I've even started recording my own songs in this tuning, I went from standard to D standard. Gives my music a lot darker sound! So anyone know any other bands that use D standard besides Crüe? Thanks!
Crash Course in Brain Surgery, The Thing That Should Not Be, Whiskey in the Jar, Sabra Cadabra, Sad But True, pretty much the entire St. Anger album (standard D, Drop C) - Metallica
Stricken (D standard, Drop C), Inside the Fire, most of the stuff off 10,000 Fists - Disturbed
Keep Away, Bad Religion, Whatever - Godsmack
Her Ghost in the Fog, Devil Woman - Cradle of Filth

Disturbed Is typically drop Db or drop C. I would, John Moyer and Steve “Fuzz” Kmak are two of my biggest influences.
The Thing That Should Not Be can be played as Drop D, yes, but a tab I saw back in the 90s (might have been Guitar World, I don't remember) showed it tuned to D-standard.
Disturbed – yeah, most of their stuff is Drop Db, but the ones I listed are D-standard, Drop C. Pretty sure most of their 10,000 Fist stuff is D-standard/Drop C but if not, I stand corrected.
