Musical Memes

Disclaimer:  It's pronounced "meem."  Not may-may.  That's mandarin for little sister.  There's a big difference.

 You don't say!  Despite being a self-proclaimed metal head, I crusade against down tuning (the act of loosening strings to get a deeper sound and to play faster.)   Metal guitarists have given up trying to distinguish themselves for skill, prowess, stage presence etc. and now distinguish themselves trying to play the most down tuned guitar with the most strings. 

   Down tuning passes its point of diminishing returns after you down tune past a whole step.  After that, it gets silly.  It's like those little competitions people had in middle school to see who could drink the most monster, or who could own the most studded belt:  Everyone on the outside looking in finds this little competition inane and idiotic.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you OC.  This forced meme is relevant to the Summer Celebration.
