How is that in his defense? All that shows is he doesn't know what's up. I was trying to let him know what was up.
And rather than write it again:

It's just that they sound different due to the alternate tunings and heavier string gauges which get a different tone out of the instrument. Thurston, Lee and Kim also learned standard tuning before they ever tuned any differently.

Sonic Youth have done some strictly "noise" songs. "Mieux: De Corrosion" springs right to mind. But, contrary to popular belief, Sonic Youth are not a "noise band." They are most definitely a
noisy band most of the time, but purely noise they most certainly are not.
