The BEST Stef guitar riff

[There Will Be Blood]

The riff in the chorus when chinos screaming of needles and pins is amazzzzzing

[HexagramW]

I love that riff!! 

[Oldnewtype]

its stef's riff, but its not a guitar its a bass he plays that on.

[Hesperian Death-Horse!]

A girlfriend of mine once commented that it sounded like he was breaking the guitar during that part. lol.

[bodywars9000]

Haha that's funny. I used to use a similar phrase to describe Steph's riff from RatsRatsRats, the one that "connects" the verse to the chorus, it's also the riff the song ends on.
I always thought it sounded like music breaking.

I always liked the verse in Hexagram when Chino's ranting Worship/Play.

[glassdomino]

always been a big fan of the riffage in Lovers.

[Caín]

everything feiticeira. wish stef would explore stuff like that more. odd time signatures, crazy wailing sound. hate the chugga djent stuff stef seems fond of lately. he's no fredrik thordendal, for fucks sake.

[E-Money]

Pink Maggit is by far my favorite.

[mothraw]

here he is -the riff bomb-

i love how fast he goes over the frets and how fast he plays the punches


DEFTONES EROS 2009

[defmelonn]

ughh root?? how could now one have mentioned that.

[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.

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..
