Deftones - Can't Even Breathe (Stephen Carpenter Play-Through)

[@unanimousarts]

Somebody is reading the comments because a lot of people requested this.

[@JaniceCarter-ws7lu]

😊. Things will get better

[@nopenope1454]

One of Deftones best songs ever, which is crazy to think about when factoring how many tall trees it must rival to attain such a claim

[@roxannepeypascissurs9929]

This comment is so edgy

[@Daphie_the_Duck]

sorry. not even close

[@amyring3865]

Definitely I agree ♥️

[@DeadAutumnHorrorStories]

@@roxannepeypascissurs9929 think about the fact you said that about the single dullest comment ever.

It’s awesome that he would do this. I wish they would put out a second b-sides album with songs like this one, teething, lovers, the boys republic, damone, cherry waves acoustic version… just to name a few of the harder to find songs. Maybe even smile, possibly a couple eros songs instead of finishing and releasing the entire album

[@thevoid99]

that would be nice. they're a band that deserves more props for what they've done in music.

[@evolvetodeath]

I’d kill for a proper release of “Sweetest Perfection” since they put out a digital version of “Night Boat” on B-Sides & Rarities.

[@nine-toedsloth7168]

Damone is standard on every copy of ATF

[@junkyardwillie8320]

@@nine-toedsloth7168 not every copy, only on CD. I can’t find an official version of it anywhere on any streaming platform, and it did not come pressed onto my vinyl copy, hence why I’m calling it a bit hard to find, or at least only common to the end of a CD. I guess for that particular song I can change hard to find to restricted availability or something

[@nine-toedsloth7168]

@@junkyardwillie8320 it is on streaming services it's just at the end of MX

[@ejay6721]

Wish most of your unreleased songs were released, they’re so good 😭

[@kevinfrimpong969]

@shutupmimzy I think they meant it deserves to be released as apart of an official Deftones album with all their other stand alone songs that were never put on an album. Smile and EROS need to be released as well.

[@ejay6721]

@@kevinfrimpong969 yup exactly what I meant sorry

[@kevinfrimpong969]

@@ejay6721 No apologies necessary 😺 We're all Deftones fans here and for that, we never have anything to apologize for. We share the BEST taste in music 🤘🤘🖤🖤

[@nuclearrabbit03]

This is probably as close as we’ll ever get to

[@donjaun8435]

This song reminds me of 90's, weed, and looking up at the sun, blocking shade with my hands in the summer and skateboarding with this song on.

[@___pollene2534]

literally my goal in life

[@Erosbride]

Insane that he’s playing this one

[@agemadrid835]

Damn! Another great hidden gem! This makes the 3rd Deftones song that I never new existed! Keep them coming!

[@serhafiye7046]

Always check the discogs page of your fav band :))

[@serhafiye7046]

I mean, checking discogs is always good (I'm not giving orders here, it happens when you are tired and your native language is different lol)

[@morenodeftones]

pues deberias escuchar temas feat Chino moreno, que hay unos cuantos. Te recomiendo uno con Ill Niño

[@TheShmrsh]

New

[@DNashvegas]

Oh yeah it’s a great hidden gem..use to have this on my MP3 player in high school end of 2000/early 2001..ah memories! lol. Another great one is Boys Republic which was on the red/black variants of White Pony. ‘Smile’ was another great one from the unreleased Eros album and I always thought ‘Lovers’ was a great one from Self Titled. Why it was stripped from album I have no idea

[@ESkull885]

Best deftones song for me... this Harmony, the bass, battery, voice... all is perfect !!!

[@evolvetodeath]

I’ve yelled out “CAN’T EVEN BREATHE!” at 38 Deftones shows I’ve been to and I’ve yet to hear it live! are y’all going to start incorporating it into the setlist finally after this pandemic hell?

[@serhafiye7046]

Damn, today is a good day for you, if i were you i wouldn't forget this day and use it wisely since they are rare...

[@evolvetodeath]

@@serhafiye7046 I just hope it means the next tour is dusting off all the deep cuts. 😎

[@SpeakerPhones]

They played it at my very first deftones show 2005. The most memorable song of the show for me

[@evolvetodeath]

@shutupmimzy 38 since I came across Can’t Even Breathe! I’m at 40 total currently, after missing a couple shows within range the last 5 years. I even used to run an awful Deftones fan site called Can’t Even Breathe back in the 90s, so you could say I was a little obsessed with them. 🤣

[@CFChristian]

Profile photo matches the behavior.

[@MadkeimMusic]

One of Deftones's awesome B-side tracks! It's so cool that Stef is doing those too!

[@13nohead]

Omg this song takes me back. Such a banger

[@davidstanley9543]

This is one of my favorite Deftones b-sides. Stef brought back the 'ol school.

[@sleepteam]

Deftones have always been about the fans and these last few videos prove it.

[@Hayfever33]

I had this song on a mp3 when Napster first came out without a title, I loved it

[@Autumn.Sun.Eclipse]

One of my all time favorite Deftones tracks. This and Teething sustained me between Adrenaline and Around the Fur. I was obsessed with Deftones in High School.

[@skxlter5747]

So weird how it's not on Spotify

[@dylancate3221]

I love the 3/4 swing type groove to this song always really stood out to me as a staple song because of it! It’s like a aggressive waltz number

[@reybanda7928]

STEPHTONE 💪

[@ted__ryan]

The Boy's Republic next! 🙏🏽

[@mikeeclipse]

The way hes keeps hitting that D chord looks like he's forgetting to or messing up, but its just how it's played. His style is like no other.

[@TheRealRansora]

It's because he is tuned to cgcfadd (all sharp) on a 7 string

[@mikeeclipse]

@@TheRealRansora I know how he tunes his guitars. I basically idolized him when I was a teen. I had a 6 string taken to a guitar tech just to have it calibrated to CGCFAD and not have it be slinky. I have a 7 string to the same tuning (extra D#) because of him, not Head or Munky and have one of his signature ESP 8 strings. I'm just pointing out something in his playing in the video. Wasn't a diss or critique of any kind brother. 😎👍🏻

[@TheRealRansora]

@@mikeeclipse Oh yeah I feel that one 100%, didn't assume it was a diss or anything at all! I'm just 100% sure the reason that it looks like he's messing up is less stylistic and more because he has that extra string so he has to play it one string higher than what it normally looks it would be played like while either barring the last two strings or leaving the last string open

[@mikeeclipse]

@@TheRealRansora gotcha. 😎👍🏻

[@magicalyoda101]

I rediscovered this song a few nights ago after years of not listening to it, and fell in love with it all over again. Then to suddenly see Stephan releasing a video of him playing it, such a great fucking surprise! ❤️ Thank you for posting this man!

[@FallingPicturesProductions]

Mad respect for grabbing all the forgotten off-album works. Some of your guy's best works are hidden in these.

[@lostkauz83]

They’ve had me since around the fur , life wouldn’t be without them 🤘🏻

[@blueblade455]

Same here, first time I heard of them was when the My Own Summer (Shove It) video was on MTV and I said to myself "Oooh, I Like This"! Then when I listened to the ATF album, I instantly fell in love with their sound. To me this is the best album out of my entire music collection.

[@DaveThomson]

Been in since Adrenaline. Bored was on the radio in Phoenix back in 95

[@lostkauz83]

@@DaveThomson I was only 12 lol . I met deftones through a friend who came over one day for the last time I would ever see him , handed me the “ around the fur album “ and told me to keep it . It stayed on repeat for hours at a time till I learned every inch of every riff . Ofc I back tracked to adrenaline quick . Root bored and engine #9 are my in my everyday play list .

I remember going into record surplus on pico Blvd in west LA. They had this section when you would first walk in with free music tapes. I was like what’s this? Deftones? Can’t even breathe? My own summer? I played the shit out of that cassette. Learned to play it on a six string. All I know is I definitely did not play it like that. Brutal Legend!!! 😳😱

[@ReaderMeetAuthor]

I remember I was on holiday in Australia in Dec 1996 and while I was out there I bought the Escape From LA soundtrack and then proceeded to listen to this one track on repeat at every opportunity for the rest of the holiday

[@sharinglungs3226]

Oh sheeettt Stef’s going on an off album run of classics! Can’t wait for this to drop. Like Linus next?

[@DennisRadaelli]

damn, it would be amazing if he even plays one of the two songs from the very first 1991/92 demo

[@evolvetodeath]

GOD’S HANDS!
