Stephen Carpenter "Leathers" Playthrough | Fishman Fluence

[@AsAugustSleeps]

The master of making a simple riff into a great song.

[@ArgentineFlash24]

Seriously my goal to achieve this mastery someway somehow! 🤘

[@areta-r]

FINALLY a real Playthrough! Guitar audio cranking

[@davidlawson7786]

Steph is a badass I love his heavy riffage Huge fan of his guitar work and tone. Gives me inspiration

[@ZVvereVvolf]

He writes super easy riffs.

[@mendezbigniew]

We need more of this!

[@jackapples1]

I hope Stephen is ok, with him losing so much weight and his face being sunken in added to him not playing live shows I hope there’s nothing seriously wrong with him

[@ThisIs-NOIR]

he has a stupid reason not to come to live shows. hes afraid of being vaccinated when he lands in a new place, so he doesnt go.

[@AWZYfilms]

@@ThisIs-NOIRhe does live shows in the states, in an interview he said scared of doing out side the country tours in worry of there being a lockdown while he’s there and not being able to leave and being contained there

[@oskartrier5438]

He smokes too much weed

[@AlcoholRabbit]

​@@ThisIs-NOIR His body, his choice. He's not afraid, he doesn't want to, hence why he doesn't travel to places that still require vaccination. Also he took some time off to chill but he's back doing domestic shows now. Alot of the hate Stephen gets from fairweather fans like yourself [If you even are one] stems from some sort of erroneous entitlement to how he should live his life.

[@ThisIs-NOIR]

@AlcoholRabbit i don't find the fact that he's avoiding vaccinations as the idiotic part here. More than half of the time these days after the end of the shit show that was the pandemic, vaccinations are no longer mandatory to travel abroad. It's his body, it's his choice what he wants on and in it. But I think it's pointless he's letting his anxiety for something that wouldn't happen control his touring. I'm especially a fan of Stephen Carpenter as a guitarist, I find him to be the weaver of the mill tha this deftones. And honestly it's disappointing when the main force of the band just doesn't show up ever and would rather have someone else to replace him in tours over something as insignificant and less likely.

[@letsbetravis]

He’s so lucky he met chino 😂 that tone is so nasty though

[@AppreciatedAsianman]

What a fat tone, I love it

[@AXEzWILD]

What is that Dragon Slaying Sword he is wielding, brand and model please , anyone ????

[@Jack-es3um]

[@KyleFox007]

@@Jack-es3um the glow in the dark one!

[@TG-of3sp]

[@didtoknan8128]

He uses it on some songs.Though not on that one.

[@Shangrilahmusic]

thall

[@atroposV]

wouldnt call deftones thall at all. low chugs on the 8 does not the thall make

[@azforu29]

Not my style of music but mean ass tone for sure.

[@robertflorea9426]

Let me guess it’s all riding one note lol he is not a genius he is just stoned

[@LarryT86]

Is this a joke? Imagine saying to yourself, I need more strings so I can play less.

[@dirtyoliver1180]

As well as a Floyd rose so you can never play any lead.

[@bradenblair9653]

Overrated as fuck. Love Deftones, but this man is simply ok.

[@AlcoholRabbit]

Does he need to be more than to make the sort of music that has him where he is?

[@chuggyhuggy8783]

Eh

[@cbolton81]

Steph and Lars are the only two musicians that have not progressed with years of playing they’ve gotten worse. I love the deftones but his riffs are something a person playing for a couple months could play.

[@atroposV]

He used to write awesome stuff before he discovered the 8 string. Super easy song but Be Quiet and Drive is a top 50 song ever in my mind. Keep in mind there are many awesome 8 string musicians (see Haken), Stephen just isn't really one of them

[@robertflorea9426]

Holy shit when he did a single note I thought he was gonna short circuit some advanced guitar work for this guy
