actually they do play in drop A. infact Mick Thompson just recently had a new guitar fitted tuned for this album. compare the intro to a B and you will find it is lower in pitch. but btw thats a very good tab. could've done with a solo, but great stuff
+66
any one tab the solo yet??
+36
yeah they use Drop A sometimes. the song that comes to mind first (other than this one) is the heretic anthem
