A lot of the songs sound like they can be played with one just one guitar anyway, except for Hearts/Wires and maybe (L)mirl. I've wondered if thats why they didn't play a lot of KNY because Chino supposedly played on most of it too. And a lot of those songs sound like they could be played with just one guitar as well, I still don't understand why Chino plays on Swerve City if he's not going to play that solo

He has played the solo.

Don't suppose you have a vid to that do you? Any vid I've seen it was Frank playing it.

On the record and live, it's Frank and Chino layered.

Here is an article from German Metal Hammer magazine.
Interesting point:
Chino asked Stephen if he should hire a guitar player for his parts for the next tour because he still thinks he can't play that good. But Stephen said to him if he can do it on the record, he can do it live too.

Chino also did an interview with them.

C doesn't believe in his own guitar playing for this tour or Stef's? I believe he means his own is that obviously correct?  Only reason I ask is because of the way it was worded and he could have been screwing around with him I dont know lol

Chino thinks he should hire someone for his parts to focus on vocals.

That's pretty interesting. I think I wouldn't have minded that. Seems like he's dropped the guitar for Rubicon though. Wonder if he'll do the same for other songs.

Sergio Vega in The Red Bulletin UK magazine (April, 2016)
"...we asked bassist Sergio Vega to list five tracks that have inspired him; it was no surprise when,
instead of rock classics, he chose tunes that he loves to play in his DJ sets."

"Look At My Dab" from Migos... If I see them (or even just Sergio) dab on stage during a song, I won't know what to think

Interview with Sergio Vega in Teraz Rock (Polish magazine, May 2016)
Nothing really new in this interview but in short:
- Stephen had problems during the recording of 'Gore'. He wanted to deal with own personal stuff when the rest wanted to work.
- Stephen does not impose hard play, all band members invent heavy and lighter riffs.
- Despite the fact that they live far away from each other, they remain in touch as often as possible.
- Quicksand is like a family for Sergio.
- About Chi: "...in a sense, Chi never left the band. He is always present: in conversations, memories...
We still feel his energy ... we still mourn him but on the other hand we feel relieved that he does not suffer anymore. "
- On 'Gore ' Sergio plays on 6-string bass, "the Fender VI" - a unique instrument.
- About the album cover of 'Gore ': "... the word 'Gore ' surrounded by flying flamingos captures for me is the essence of our band.
It is energy, is beauty, movement and violence. We're not bleeding as horror films, but we're definitely violent. We like, sometimes blow up something."
