i always prefered stephen based songs like the entire adrenaline record, feiticeira,korea,passenger,bloody cape etc. but when stef hasn't been practicing his guitar, and only been deep into tone,gear and whatnot, maybe chino and sergio is all for stef's metal ideas, it's just that the ideas suck?

I think stefs minamlist style used to work but now he plays 200 string guitars it's just a thick treacle-like overly processed mess.

For me his riffs worked best when they cut through the mix, raspy sounding guitars, with a high end. You could hear his riffs better and it didn't matter that they were simple, they stood out more and held their own.

Quite evident from the interview, Chino is not a fan of the 8-string

Nope. The way he spoke about how he and Sergio try to fill the space though, sounds like he thinks it works well within the band because it doesn't sound like it does in bands where they just have the 8-string. Like they bring out more sound and more layers, so he doesn't necessarily hate it within the context of the band's music. But who knows?

That was a great read! They were very detailed about their gear. I loved hearing that and how they went into details about the recording process. I'm kinda shocked chino was hating on the 8 string. I think it probably just intimidates him as a guitarist/vocalist as they are harder to play cleanly because of the 2 extra strings and to be able to hold the neck; let alone play one and sing at the same time. I'm glad Stephen has his tones right, now he can focus on playing.

QuoteLike now, if I just had to play the songs, I know I can just play them. And if I had to just sing them, I know I can sing them.

He meant if he just had to play the guitar he could do it, and if he just had to sing it, he could do it. Doing both at the same time is the part he's saying he's got to practice more for.

"if he don't like it, we don't play"

... oh boy.

stephens tone is always glorious, the diamond eyes record is the last time he used his marshall rig and you can hear it, its like ATF with 8 string guitars, there's no reason to bitch, he's been doing the same exact thing since the beginning, just at different octaves.

Damn that's some expert level passive aggressiveness right there.
Totally unprofessional move, if you're not happy leave the band, don't stay for the cash and talk shit about the product you're about to put out into a marketplace. Weak weak weak, I'd be incensed if I were his bandmates.
