The BEST Stef guitar riff

[deftoner664]

Well I would say the main Needles and Pins riff but like mention before that is on bass, but I'd have to say a tie between the verse on be quiet and drive and the Verse on When girls telephone boys. Those two just hit home for me.

Knife Prty
and obsly, Buffalo / Finger of death

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking these two as I was reading here. K P sounds like Stephen really went deeper than ever experimenting with that sound. I can't think of anything off the top of my head similar to it right now..... and Korea reminds me of nuclear warfare. It's the title, the scare in the world today, and it's like I could imagine that opening riff when I hear the city's wailing siren and a huge mushroom cloud in the horizon. Fucked up, I know but think about it though,   I sorta always wondered if  they renamed that song "Korea" because maybe they got the same vibe from it?  They are from here in the U.S. obviously and Kim Jong il from North "Korea" has been thought of as a nuclear threat way before 2000 with us here in the U.S. and many other nations. I know they pay a lot of attention to what goes on in the world, hell they've been traveling the shit out of it! You know they didn't just formulate that song from the get... it was "White Pony" I believe at first.  Just a thought, let's not forget..

Always loved the end of street carp when its fading out, repetitive riff goes well with Abe smashing the shit out of the cymbals

finger of death-the main riff is killing me

This is insane too. The whole damn thing is just crazy! By the way, can anyone decipher any of these lyrics from the live version of this demo??? Just curious.... Thank you

I'm pretty sure these weren't even lyrics, Chino was just trying to place a melody, that's the way he works on his songs. First, the melodic structure, then the lyrics.

I know, but then I'm surprised we got to hear a track that way then.

But I'll tell you what, even if the scream part doesn't have any real word, I don't give a shit, it rocks my balls each time.

Its actually a good riff, but it sounds so overproduced, and that takes out the heaviness of it. Thats what I dont like about it.

Love this riff too.. but I don't think anything on DE could ever be considered my favorite Deftones anything

Great album, and I know why they did it the way they did (mostly Chi), but just not my cup of tea.
