Most of their older songs (first 5 albums) are in standard tuning.
Metallica went down to drop C for St. Anger but tuned back up to standard E for Death Magnetic. Most of their songs are in E.
Drop C tuning is (low to high) CGCFAD

Don't forget to mention that all of the songs from the old days that are in standard tuning are played a half step down live nowadays :-)
Drop D
drop a, drop b and some songs like creatures in drop c but mostly drop b and a
Almost every song of Bullet For My Valentine is drop c tuning for bass and guitars... and Escape The Fate have a few drop c's too i think
Drop D tuning is a special way of tuning a guitar which allows the base strings to play a 'power' chord. this makes the use of Bar chords much eaier because the three base strings can be manipulated with 1 finger.
Yes it is called drop tuning. Drop tuning is used to play lower notes than you could normally play in standard tuning.
Drop D
To play a song with drop C bass tuning, you need to tune your bass guitar to the notes C-G-C-F. This lower tuning gives a heavier sound. You can then play the song using the new tuning, adjusting your finger positions accordingly.
To effectively play guitar in drop tuning, you need to tune your guitar to a lower pitch, typically dropping the lowest string down a whole step. This allows you to play power chords and riffs with a heavier sound. Practice playing in drop tuning to get comfortable with the new finger positions and explore different chord shapes and techniques to make the most of this tuning.

Drop down tuning for guitar playing can provide benefits such as easier power chord shapes, lower string tension for easier bending, and the ability to play heavier, darker sounding music.
Drop D tuning on guitar involves lowering the pitch of the lowest string, typically from an E to a D. This tuning allows for easier power chords and heavier riffs, as well as a fuller sound due to the lower pitch. It can also make it easier to play certain songs and create a different tone compared to standard tuning.
