Tinboy, look at the tuning at the beginning, and Slipknot plays a few songs in Drop A like My Plague.

TZA, for ****s sake. you're an idiot. He says what tuning it's in at the beginning of the tab. He only put DADGbe on the tab because it's easier to write out the tab than having to put AEADF#b or BF#BEG#C#. People do this all of the time with standard tunings as well, they'll put EADGbe on the tab in place of stuff with sharps/flats as it's less time consuming.

Not tza, I meant Tinboy.
