He uses "Drop B" tuning as a parody of popular rock bands who's ridiculously low tuned instruments have now become cliched and what's to be expected by the executives to consider if it rocks. Manson only uses "Standard E" and "Drop D" tunings to write songs and perform them live. The "Drop B" tuning of this song is most likely the reason it's never been played live. |
| + | * Prior to the release of The Golden Age of Grotesque, Manson claimed that he intentionally had John 5 record an entire song with his guitar "out of tune." Although Manson hasn't officially revealed the name of the specific track mentioned, it's most likely that he was referring to "Ka-Boom Ka-Boom." | ||
