I also think that in the wake of the Recto - Uberschall - Drop-Tunning - 7-string thing, people have become very accustomed to hearing guitar tones with near Kick-Drum and Bass-Rig low end. That may sound really cool in the room, but almost fights with the drummer and bass player for those frequencies in a mix - live or recorded. A while back, someone posted the raw guitar tracks from Still of the Night and I was really surprised how much of the ‘thump’ I was hearing on that album was coming from the drum and bass tracks. The raw guitar tracks didn’t have near as much low end as my ears hear in the final mix. This type of tone - with some tweaking - may sit really well in a mix.
