[@AfrooChe]

Hands down the most underrated and heaviest track off Adrenaline

[@chrisevans6430]

Right

[@Agostoic]

Heck Yeah

[@mrslippyfist9155]

Not the heaviest but it is pretty underrated.

[@TheCondorjc]

Nah. Heaviest is Engine no. 9

[@fuzzfiend]

@@TheCondorjc nothing beats the breakdown to 7 words

Steph has got the nicest looking collection of guitars.....so jealous

The only bad thing about these play-throughs is that it makes me realise how badly I've been playing them all these years :) Cheers Steph!

@@iug1925 it's awesome, just shitty poor man's engineering and recording, but the songs are monsters

[@razorbladethorax]

My favourite Deftones song. Abe's drumming on this is sublime.

[@Petteriks]

I miss the emotional younger side of myself listening to these tracks. Great song, one of my favorites 🙏

[@depletable]

Yesss. Those emotions were miserable, but there was some nice highs listening to music.

[@jacobalvarado8240]

So much emotion. Good and bad. One of those songs that bring you back to a certain time in your life.

[@antonxravx]

One of my favorite songs from this album! No one in the world can play it like you, Stephen guitar God!

I love this song so much. Its full of youth and great anger. takes me right back when I was young. Also one of the greatest guitar riffs. so unique!!

[@Agostoic]

One of my all time Deftones classics‼️👌

[@halfdana]

Finally! I've been waiting for this since you started doing these awesome playthroughs. "Birthmark" is perhaps the most important track for me in the Deftones catalog together with "Bored". I remember hearing Adrenaline for the first time in 95 when I was thirteen, and the owner of a guitar shop I used to hang out in put it on. It's impossible to say this without sounding super pretentious, I know, but it truly was the first time I ever deeply experienced that feeling of finding something I had been searching for without being fully aware of it. How do you search for something that you don't know exists? It just "clicked" from the first riff of "Bored", and I rushed off to the record store, listened to the entire album back-to-back two times, and "Birthmark" took me to a whole other place. Allthough it's impossible to call out one Deftones album as my favorite today, Adrenaline was without a doubt the most significant for me, and the one I've listened to the most. I still get chills when I hear this track all these years later.

[@disembodiedvoices13]

Me too bro

[@christov4120]

Awesome story man thanks for sharing 🤘🏼🤙🏼 I first heard of them in 98 with My own summer, but soon after discovered Adrenaline and I was forever in love with Deftones lol

[@halfdana]

@@christov4120 Yeah, it's a lifelong love story for sure! Deftones have always managed to evolve and explore, while still remaining Deftones at the core, which I think is one of the main reasons why us fans love them so much. Their early work has that wide dynamic range though, where they go from whisper soft to exploding screams, which is so unique and keeps me coming back to Adrenaline and Around The Fur. Be well buddy :)

[@mikesw3ll153]

Same .I'm in my own way proud of them for continuing to make music .

[@claudiovasconcellos7199]

Old school 🤘🏻❤️

[@jasonmgomez]

Steph, still waiting for my all time favorite Deftones song, Nosebleed. Something tells me its coming soon, lol. Thanks for all, man.

[@Agostoic]

Nosebleed! Right on

[@jasonmgomez]

@@Agostoic i really wish he would pull abe into the vids.... especially on nosebleed. i have to see those crazy, offbeat tom hits.....

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Awesome! Thanks Stef and crew for these vids! About time for an updated Stef rig rundown!

[@boarderking133]

Axe fx that's it

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

@@boarderking133 no dude. His one AxeFx is all that remains from his 2015 era rig. Since then he has brought back most of his analog pedals, different power amps, switchers, JMP1, and a Bradshaw switcher.

[@tezzavision3465]

That riff. Chef's kiss.

[@blastbeatdown]

This is one of my favorite deep cuts and my #1 off Adrenaline. I’ve been a fan since the late 90s but didn’t get to see them til around 2011, and they played this like 3 songs in. My jaw was dropped.

[@joanx9722]

Ahhh.....the sounds of a kick ass guitarist.....thus sounds really freaking cool...great job

[@-k-b-]

Adrenaline isn't the best Deftones album, but the chord progressions and chord choices on songs like this and a few others are so unique!

[@notimportant3686]

it is though

[@christov4120]

Adrenaline will always be my favorite Deftones Album 🤘🏼🤙🏼

[@towertito2149]

I disagree. This album was everything in 96

[@mikeglozer4013]

Their best album

[@richvarcoe]

Hey Stef, thanks for doing these videos, really enjoy watching them and seeing the subtleties I sometimes miss on the albums. There is a song floating around that didn't make Adrenaline titled "God's Hands" which is a really cool song. Would you ever release that song as a bside? Or do a play through even.
