Deftones - Combat (Stephen Carpenter Play-Through)

[@TheMetalAllfather]

SNW is probably the most underrated Deftones album to date. SO MANY great songs, especially after I got to listen to the unreleased demos last night, I have a much deeper appreciation for it.

[@snixbae]

Its because that album divert so much, it had to happened. The first time I've heard it was like trying a new haircut.

[@knifeprtyyyy]

Not to mention it’s the last album with Chi on bass. RIP 🤘🏻❤️

[@snixbae]

@@knifeprtyyyy Exactly 🙏 The album still grows and just because of those two reasons, it's by far one of their greatest in my opinion.

Thats a metalhead for you

[@kkrsnn5632]

new album sound hint 😉

[@snixbae]

Never heard. listening to bring back the plague. Good shit 😃

[@cheffntito6007]

Deftones just needs to go fucking super heavy musically and just let chino be Chino on vocals with that vulnerable soothing croos Sade type vocals. Main reason I think around the fur and white pony will forever be their legendary golden age records

[@kkrsnn5632]

@@cheffntito6007 Gire is heavy and ugly, so it doesn't matter. Let Deftones be Deftones 😜

[@smokejc]

2:39 one of my favorite Deftones riffs ever.

[@mikesw3ll153]

I know right I play guitar and it doesn't look to me like it sounds . Stef isn't that technical but I think he is gifted more on sound and simplicity which is actually really difficult to achieve sometimes

[@corner-83]

It's deep

[@Afflictamine]

when I heard it, it reminded of me of the Flyleaf song, I wonder if they ripped it off aha

[@pr0vv]

super basic riff

SNW will probably always be my personal favorite. Great to see Combat get love. Long live Deftones!

[@badukulele]

Agreed! I was pretty late to the party, SNW was my first Deftones album and I still love it, it takes me somewhere else entirely.

[@NineteenEighty8]

Love how he adds the long intros and outros to these videos.

[@TarshishedCactus]

These videos have gotten me interested in practicing Deftones songs on guitar! Thank you!!!!

[@ryker1023]

The best Deftones song ever!

A waste of time We don't believe Can't decide till you've Hit the ground Thank you much If you don't believe Can't decide Till you Hit the ground Make your mind It's holding me Down I wanna get it Down And I wanna get it Down And I wanna get out You don't think that I don't know 'Cause I do Nice try 'Cause that's what you really got Lie. Lie. Lie. Lie. That's something else You say You say you're something else Decide Whose side You're on Whose side are you on? Whose side are you on? C'mon Whose side are you on?

[@MrChickenspit]

Combat, kimdracula, hole in the earth, mein…. By far the best stand outtracks from this album

[@ADT2695]

By far?! “Mein” is arguably the worst song on that album. There are many notable others not appreciated retroactively, too, such as “Rivière”, “Cherry Waves” “U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,SELECT,START”, “Xerces” and even the bold, “Pink Cellphone”. I will never understand “Mein” being such a likable song, especially as a favorite on this album.

[@opaque6350]

@@ADT2695what is there not to love about mein?

[@ADT2695]

@@opaque6350, Wow - to love?! As a complete song, there’s nothing to love about it. There are a few sections worthy of mention, and that’s about it besides it featuring Serj Tankian, which is probably the main contributor to the illusion worthiness. Other lesser-known songs on that album deserve so much more attention. Ultimately, the album was too saturated and processed with vocal and instrumental alterations that its grandiose nature was not working for the material written. For lack of a better term, that is the silver lining, and so is this: As listeners (after several listens), however, you can totally see how palpable many of the songs actually could be if they were fully realized. I’ve read many times that a lot of the material was rushed, especially the vocals. I can sort of tell. “Beware”, for example, was my favorite song on that album for years because the ambient experimentation applied to it that enhanced so many of the songs, but I could tell that if they spent just _some_ more time with that song and the others, they would have produced another monumental album.

Such a great song from Saturday Night Wrist. We got a play-through of "Lovers" as a Christmas gift last year. This year, it should be a play-through of "Phantom Bride" with Jerry Cantrell. That would be amazing.

[@RinnovaRaine]

Please please please please please release Eros. I just heard Smile for the first time and it legit made me tear up. You owe it to Chi! Please let his last album see the light of day!
