actually i found soundgarden to be the worse for odd tunings. any vai / satriani tab i've seen has always been pretty standard. the oddest tuning being a combo of half step down and dropped D. which may seem a little odd but is nothing compared to EEEEEE for SG's 'mind riot', or EEEEBB for 'my wave'. mid 70s led zep is also notorious for wacko tunings.

while inaccurate, online tabs usually provide a decent idea of what sort of alternate tuning you're going to be looking at, or at least a good starting point on how to twiddle the tuning pegs.
