The song's actually in F# C# G# C# F# A# (live it's played on a PRS 7-string Baritone with a high D#). Most of the new songs on the record were done in this tuning.

I don't think it's in Drop B. I think it's the G#C#G#C#F#A# tuning Mike uses on most Staind songs. It makes sense, because you play most of those low C#'s on an open string, would be a lot easier tom play

yeah i just watched that its pretty sweet!
