420 Minutes with Stephen Carpenter: a zZounds Exclusive Interview

[@sharinglungs3226]

The video editor did a hilarious job on this, well done 👏

[@zZoundsMusic]

Thank you!

[@tylerdaniels723]

Really dug his advice to young bands. Steph is such an awesome dude

[@Mike4891w]

I love deftones. Stephen isn't the best guitar player ever, but he writes extremely efficient music that has stuck with me for most of my entire life.

[@skeptischism1324]

Steph is signature though, not just another guitar player that ya cant tell apart from others.......when ya here his riffs, ya know its his.

[@stopit2964]

your comment makes me so mad. its BECAUSE he writes music that has stuck with you for most of your life the makes him one of the best guitar players. not everything has to be a calculus problem. you SHOULD see him as one of the greats, because he is one of the greats.

[@fromaggio7654]

He is the definition of a dudebro

[@MinhPhamDesign]

0:25 this cracks me up so hard lol

[@DerrykWithaY]

This needs to happen more

[@Bluemountains801]

@@zZoundsMusic yeah yeah yeah, i'm sure you guys are "cool".

[@zZoundsMusic]

@@Bluemountains801 Trust us, we are. But just so you know, if you're a cop you gotta tell us. 😉

[@Bluemountains801]

@@zZoundsMusic Far from it haha. Just a guy who stays home, plays music, and enjoys life as much as he can. 🔥❤ But to answer your question, no i'm not a cop.

[@lsdude4205]

I just got his ESP LTD SC-608B signature model in the mail and it is perfect... Guy is one of my biggest inspirations, so happy to watch this interview.

[@rorbot_SMF]

Stef Carpenter is the truth! DAMN.

[@adamleuty4981]

Can’t wait to see them in august

[@francisd2386]

"Abe...Chino...Stephen" lol

[@chill_dude12]

happy 420

[@flazuki5288]

One of the very few interviews where Dominic Garcia is mentioned as Deftones' original Bassist! Check out a detailed interview with him on DeftonesLive channel! :)

[@michaelinglis8516]

I love zzounds, for real. This just helps

[@colt.thrower]

I fuckin love this guy

[@themadminuteman]

perfect edits to go with Stephen lol

[@javierportillo1741]

amazing. greatest guitar player of recent generations for sure //

[@PeeWeeHermitGames]

excellent edits

[@zZoundsMusic]

Thanks!

[@vereyafrequency]

Stef should have his own version of the "Smokebox" but his is Philosophy discussion (cough, sorry, Im high AF) and music appreciation. like a reaction video + discussion.

[@grayel]

lol.... seriously great interview!

[@StephEWaterstram]

That's a wicked guitar! I wonder if it can transcend other genres?

[@WaRLoKWYATT]

Man I love this guy. He recently sent me his latest pick or whoever runs his facebook (which has hash oil (dabs) on the front and his signature on the back.) I have been trying to meet these guys since I was 15 and smoke a blunt with them. The one night I was supposed to meet Steph in Seattle, it fucking rained during the whole show and I made my ex girlfriend wait out back of the venue with me and They took off before I could meet them. I just want to smoke and bullshit about guitar tone with Steph.

[@juliocordero8641]

Name of the intro song please 🙏

[@dimitrie463]

yeeeeesss

[@Deckardkane420]

the sound was so off from the interview transitioning to the music questions segment, fire that guy!

[@codybruce3864]

Zzounds kicks so much ass

[@mohammadk.makaveli8853]

420 Wooooo

[@rockinrambler3451]

What track is the riff from on this video ?

[@hankatstricklandpropane]

Love Stef, love Deftones, and I love this interview. Also, I'm 15.

[@d3adloksamv996]

Me to also I’m 2 and a half

[@adelaforce]

anyone knw the riff/song tht plays throughout this interview? thx

[@zZoundsMusic]

There is a comment thread where someone asked this question already, but it's an copyright free, original track that we at zZounds whipped up for this video.

[@SteveStremsterfer]

Boneyard Beer hoodie FTW!

[@chrismontgomery8278]

I thought Scott Ian plays Jackson. Could be wrong.

[@damionchrist]

Back in the late 80’s on albums such as Among the Living, State of Euphoria, & Persistence of Time Scott played ESP guitars exclusively.

[@Therankinlife]

It always looks like he’s trying not to laugh. lol

[@mstringer90]

fuck this is gold hahaha

[@tastybaconsensation]

I wish someone wouldlve told him that Seymour Duncan makes sh4 ‘s in 7 and 8 string configurations

[@zZoundsMusic]

He very well may know and just choose not to use them still. The man is an enigma and his gear lineup is as ever shifting as the desert sands.

[@Racso88e]

I’m sure he prefers his fishman moderns. They even better than sh4.

[@erickh82082]

Where’s Dominic 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@joi777]

Always amazed how white his teeth are, despite all the smoke commin thru..

[@Colin.W]

Same but some have OCD for certain things while high sometimes. I'm thinkin he loves brushin lol

[@colin3617]

He has fake teeth

[@wes1hoskins]

He uses a water pick. Jamey Jasta said so on his podcast with Sergio

[@static7629]

*420*

[@nordicsilver9675]

Dudes got perfect teeth

[@amiramlan3119]

Bro, pass the weed to me..

[@XtremeKillah101]

420 minutes. Is that an intentional joke, since Stephen is kind of a Stoner

[@eliassolomon5038]

first comment

[@pickletarts8196]

but you at the bottom of the page.

[@mamityh]

who ever edited this video should be fired, for real

[@shadowprince101]

Nah, the editing perfected this video

[@Colin.W]

I thought the same at first but I couldn't help but laugh at a couple parts. The interviewee usually has to approve the video before it is put out as well so Stef probably just said it was hilarious and approved it.

[@vereyafrequency]

you should have said: "fireal" haha peace

[@jacoblewis3845]

This video editing made me happy

[@blackspring3207]

nah you're a dork

[@JamminWithJer]

Dude needs anpodcast
