Deftones - Radiant City (Stephen Carpenter Play-Through)

[@noahnorville7806]

The rest of the band: Ayo where is steph? Steph: filming a playthrough video for the fans.

[@county365]

Just a matter of time before Steph has a 10-string

[@manuelhernandez2017]

Next album

[@Idkletmesleep]

Funny thing is, I didn’t see him use that 9th string once in this whole play through. 😂

[@nikitaprosin4993]

I got two silly comments. 1) pretty soon his guitars will use skateboards for the fretboard. 2) he is constantly watching Stevie T. 20 string Vs. Jared Dine 18 string face off.

[@RukiGrlll]

With the new hair do 😎

[@cassirocks]

@@Idkletmesleep Because he is so used to the size of the neck now - he finds it uncomfortable to play on a 7 now. So he still uses 8's or 9's even on 7 string songs.

[@Nicolas20205]

Best "Ohms" song. Fell in love with it as soon as I listened to it for the first time.

[@tornado4441]

That riff is crazy

[@yomuthabyotch]

it's played on a string tuned to C#, which is pretty much around the fur era tuning. does he really need a 9-string in that case?

[@Bonavire]

​@@yomuthabyotchno, but I'm sure it's fun to play😂

[@nicopersonhuman]

@@yomuthabyotch the thickest string is a C# but i think one or two octaves lower than C# on a six string and he’s only playing the BEADGBE part he’s not using the two thickest strings

[@ch87-z3w]

[@ricardovieira1423]

Guitar play-through series with Stephen Carpenter, is a guitar fan dream. It is a shame that more musicians won't freely share their art like Stephen. But it takes a courage and humbleness that is only at the grasp of a few. Thank you, SC, for the insight on the quality of your work and modern guitar technique. By the way, your signature guitars are as beautiful as they sound, awesome! Regards from Portugal, and hope you come play for us soon...

Nice unplugged version and beautiful guitar as always

[@brucelindstrom612]

Lol, first thing I noticed was he has no lead nor wireless unit plugged in...... drugs are bad, and if you do drugs you're bad mmnnooo kay!

[@joseduran9232]

Unbelievable this is the only comment that addresses this issue.

[@michaelherscheid9709]

Did you guys think he was being recorded from 5 different angles at once? You record the audio and then you cut many camera angles together on top of the audio to make it look good. This is the standard nowadays

[@jonlangfitt]

@@michaelherscheid9709 almost none of these playthrough videos use actual live audio. They're the audio tracks from the albums. Do a side by side and you'll see they're the same.

[@antonstefanov2146]

@@jonlangfitt And it'll be way harder to make these vids if they do an actual audio recording, the purpose of course is to see how he plays these songs. I would love it if they do a BBC Basement session for a few songs though.

I was bummed this one wasn’t on the set list but Rocket Skates was just as good!!!

[@sloppysteaks5813]

The 9 string is a beast 🔥

[@monkehm]

Yeah too bad he literally never touched the 9th string. Why even use this guitar?

[@judemisura4323]

Because he can.

[@didtoknan8128]

@@monkehm He's in the tour bus. It's a good time to practice the 9 string even if he did not use the C#. He did not touch the F# either. This song can be played in B Standard.

god I love deftones, their music has gotten me through so much shit, it was amazing to see them live

[@JurrasicPork]

Ohms is the only Deftones album that revealed its greatness slowly. It’s an incredible album and one that came out at a time we needed it most. Also, Lovers is a masterpiece for those fans unaware of this largely unknown gem💎

[@py16667]

I knew it was great from first listen, the production has to be the best out of all their albums

[@posteveryside-beatsnews]

Nah disagree. It was first listen.

[@hercflyer]

Well said

[@203-g7w]

Ohms was the perfect album for the Adult and OG deftones fans. it’s what we needed to hear at the time.

You know the Deftones have done well with the tour bus Stephs in

[@demolitiondayrecords]

One of my faves.

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Saw them in Chicago 2 nights ago 5-27 and they were awesome and louder than ever before. After the show I stormed the front row and Stef was tossing picks then ran out he looked right at me as I yelled cmon Stef wtf!! He gives me the ok hold on motion, rips the set list off stage floor come back and handed it to me! Of course everyone tried to grad it too but I was like um nope lol

[@billypasquali3634]

Wish they played more songs off Ohms on this tour. Maybe next year.

[@sloppysteaks5813]

I was actually extremely disappointed in the set. It was really safe. Beware was cool but why the hell would you play Lovers, get everyone all excited, and then replace it with Lotion so only a small batch of fans got to see it? And then not play anything off Ohms besides the singles (which IMO aren’t great compared to the rest of the album)?

[@boarderking133]

Sounds like a song Sergio wrote and now thru won't play it cuz they kicked him out

[@py16667]

@@boarderking133 nah, Sergio was a big part of writing many of their songs, some of which they are playing live, so that has nothing to do with their set list

[@kirkenstiensmonster]

@@sloppysteaks5813 they played Beware at your show? Damn, we didn't get anything off of SNW... Atleast from what I can remember. They played lots of Adrenaline and Diamond Eyes, like two tracks off of Ohms, Digital Bath and Change, Swerve City, and some other safe ones, like Be Quite and My Own Summer. Don't get me wrong, the show rocked, but I could have used some SNW and a bit more self-titled stuff. And more Ohms, damnit!

[@TetraVaalBioSecurity]

Had no idea this song was played on a 9-string. 'The Spell of Mathematics' was pretty obvious due to the tuning and tone -- but the only other song I suspected from that album being played on a 9 as well was 'Headless'.

[@blueberrydenim4807]

He used the 9 string guitar throughout the recording process, but he didn’t play the 9th string on most songs

[@monkehm]

It's not played on a 9 string. It's played on an 8 string. He never uses the 9th string, it's just for show.

Ahuevo uno de los covers que estaba esperando del Máster Stephen Carpenter, la verdad es que fue una de las canciones que me gusto del 2020, durante el aislamiento provocado por la pandemia me hizo sentir bien con ganas de hacer ruido. Radiant City 🖤 Hay algo dentro de esto There's something inside this Confusión que enfrentamos Confusion we face Nos maravillamos en silencio We marvel in silence A medida que pasa el tiempo As time ticks away ¿Dónde está la repisa? Where's the ledge? no puedo tocarlo I can't touch it Pero siento que está tan cerca But I feel it's so close ¿Dónde está la repisa? Where's the ledge? no puedo tocarlo I can't touch it Pero siento que está cerca But I feel it's close Siéntate solo dentro de estos Sit lonely inside these Delirios que enfrentamos Delusions we face ¿Dónde está la repisa? Where's the ledge? no puedo tocarlo I can't touch it Pero siento que está tan cerca But I feel it's so close ¿Dónde está la repisa? Where's the ledge? no puedo tocarlo I can't touch it Pero siento que está cerca But I feel it's close Nadie vivo me ha llevado aquí No one alive has taken me here Nada de lo que he intentado reemplazará tus trucos Nothing I've tried will replace your tricks Si alguna vez elijo entrar de nuevo If ever I choose to break in again Prométeme ahora que me seguirás adentro, adentro Promise me now you'll follow me in, into Un momento de conciencia A moment of conscience Luego choque en la cabeza Then shock to the head ¿Dónde está la repisa? Where's the ledge? no puedo tocarlo I can't touch it Pero siento que está tan cerca But I feel it is so close ¿Dónde está la repisa? Where's the ledge? no puedo tocarlo I can't touch it Pero siento que está cerca But I feel it's close Nos maravillamos en silencio We marvel in silence Deja que el tiempo pase Let time tick away ¿Dónde está la repisa? Where's the ledge? no puedo tocarlo I can't touch it Pero siento que está tan cerca But I feel it's so close ¿Dónde está la repisa? Where's the ledge? no puedo tocarlo I can't touch it Pero siento que está cerca But I feel it's close Nadie vivo me ha llevado aquí No one alive has taken me here Nada de lo que intenté reemplazó tus trucos Nothing I tried replaced your tricks Cada vez que elijo entrar de nuevo Whenever I choose to break in again Prométeme ahora que me seguirás en Promise me now you will follow me in Porque nadie más me corta igual 'Cause nobody else cuts me the same Me has llevado a un trance permanente You've pulled me into a permanent trance Si alguna vez eliges entrar de nuevo If ever you choose to break in again Te lo prometo ahora, te seguiré en I promise you now, I'll follow you in Te lo prometo ahora, te seguiré Promise you now, I'll follow in
