Who said anything about going lower so the singer can sing it?
There are no rules to music. Music is an art, no matter how formulated and stagnant it may be. I personally play 7 string guitars in standard tuning and have a low B on my guitar. I love the extra range it brings to the table. This by NO means means I am incapable of playing a 6 string guitar. Drop tuning also brings a new range of tones into the picture. Same with custom tunings on guitars like artists like Don Ross (amazing player) use. Once you start applying rules to music you start making stagnant repetitive music IE the artist in being talked about in this very thread. You can can say this is a "fad" all you want, but unfortunately, the general public, as a whole, is getting less intelligent every day IMO. I call it eh push button generation. So this kind of music is only going to get worse IMO. More bland and more formulated and less talent required by the 'artist' to make albums. All that will matter to the major labels will be sell-ability and image. Talent will be at the bottom of the list or not required at all.
I dream of a day when labels will put their focus on talent and inspiration in music instead of $ and image but I am afraid I will die before this will happen.
I want to go back in time LOL.
BTW.....Nickelback.....got their name because of what is on the back of a Canadian nickel I believe.
