[Gee]

I'll jump in and agree on the Stef thing - he used to be a grand riff meister, but he's become a bit stale. I blame it on his obsession with Meshuggah. I was never a fan of the extremely down-tuned riffs in odd time signatures. lately I've enjoyed Chino's guitar playing a lot more.

I'd have to agree that Stef's riffs tend to be a little too monolithic these days.

Can I please get a pm of the 2nd mix??  Please

[DenOndaNissen]

I do not think Stephen has to be very creative anymore now that Chino is equally involved in guitar making. It was more important before when he was the only guitarist in the band. For me personally, I think Chino create better melodies and more emotive guitar playing. While Stef contributes with important heaviness to the songs. His stiff Meshuggah-chugga-chugga riffs fit perfectly with chinos guitar parts imo. its all like a symbiosis.

He should just drop the 8 string stupidity.

Ya'll are fans of Deftones, ...right?

[Vesanic]

Yes, we are. Being a fan also means you must be able to admit when a song just doesn't click for you. If you like everything they do because it has a real impact on you, then good, but if you do it just because it's your favorite band, then you're a brainless groupie (pleonasm?), not a fan.

i've got no problem with the 8 strings. it certainly brings something new to the sound. he just needs to be a bit more adventurous with his riffs, and more tempo changes.

I agree with some of the comments about things being a bit monotone. diamond eyes (track) is the epitome of this imo.

It says a lot that his best riffs are on Adrenaline.

100% agree. But when im a fan of a band, i give songs that doesn't click with me more chances and I let them grow on me. But If i plain don't like it at all, well too bad i'll skip the song.

[alan1o]

i think elite korea were some of his best riffs. but yeah adrenaline had a lot. not to mention my own summer. that's got to be his standout riff.

[xToxin]
