TOP 10 DEFTONES RIFFS 

I agree

Every song is for every occasion

Under and over

@@jaxonhawkins6640 Deftones does the songs so much better

Every occasion an angsty teen could find themselves in

No where near enough...

Obviously he agrees because he went WELL past 10.

Still not enough 😅

Definitely

Just list every song, job completed

x2.

John Borowski how was that not there?

I've missed this song in that list too

yeah I was honestly waitin for this to show up and never did lol

That song is such a masterpiece even tho it very well might be the easiest thing I’ve ever played

*I MAKE BETTER MUSIC THAN DEFTONES 😂😂👌🏼*

@@5679_bruh you fine?

Man that entire albums guitar is amazing

I love that song

oh yes

@Iqbal Hidayat Finally someone puts into words what I've never been able to put together. You're absolutely correct. Deftones definitely has a doom metal soundscape that they play around in. Especially Self-titled/Diamond Eyes era Deftones. The same heavy as fuck, droning guitars. If their music were any slower, they would likely be considered doom for sure.

Sabbath Influence that is sounds like Doom Metal/Sludgy

I swear I've had that song on repeat since '97.

Agree, my fav riff and that's saying a lot , being a huge Deftones fan since they begining

Iconic riff

Such a simple, yet menacing riff.

@@jackattack7940 exactly

No Be Quiet and Drive?

@@Sublime_37 ikr?

El gato

I MAKE BETTER MUSIC THAN DEFTONES 😂😂👌🏼

🕴

Deftones for life!

You have a good point there

Deftones are amazing.

@@VERMILIONGOD did you use pitch shifter?

*I MAKE BETTER MUSIC THAN DEFTONES 😂😂👌🏼*

You've Seen The Butcher does it for me, it's just so....in your face, but it's so graceful about it

Dude IT HITS SO DAMN HARD! THE BREAKDOWN IS FUCKING BRUTAL🤘

Skylar Tucker I love that one!!!

Korea is one of the heaviest for me, but that also has to do with just the whole band's performance.

I reccomend you Toxic Garbage Island from gojira

Dude nice profile pic, I love alkaline trio.

@@GUNMOFO5 My favorite album too! From injury to infirmary

@@Fearbeforedeath I've got some great memories with that album

👿🤘

Not anymore.

WarWolfeX Kimdracula, yesss

He’s one of my favourite nu metal guitarist too but one thing I hate about him is he plays different tunings in every albums which makes it difficult to cover their song and I want to cover their songs so bad so I have to go tabs on google just to play it. I think right now Stephen moved up to standard E tuning with additional B string on their 2 previous albums if I’m not mistaken

@@maynardacosta9520 the 1 album was E standard, 2 was dropped C#, 3rd was dropped C, 4th was G# standard on a 7 string, 5th was dropped F#, 6th was standard on 8 string, 7th was dropped E on an 8 string, and finally their 9th album has all of the above but mostly 8 String standard.

Kimdracula, Guaze....!!!! Absolutely love Stephen Carpenter, Deftones are, & has been my favorite band since Around the Fur. Can’t wait for a new album.

I have a similar style

I share my music passion with my mother also. Rest in peace to your lovely mother and God bless the Deftones for giving us such a beautiful soundtrack to our lives.

Have a buddy that shot himself about 19 years ago. He was buried in a Deftones hoodie.

Army of Ninjas Sorry to hear that, friend.

“You have to be technical to sound heavy” said no one ever.

most metal isn’t technical

At times they are definitely very technical

Jazz and blues is soft but more technical than all metal combined

I only like their doom metal type of stuff

except pink cellphone

@@Perseagatuna pink cellphone is good idk why people hate it

@@simonallard3770 the end is gross and the whole song just doesn't sound like deftones

@@SuscatFPSnot a fan of atmospheric, soul moving, ascension inducing shoegaze?

My favorite Deftones album is White Pony. And Diamond Eyes. And Koi no Yokan. And Ohms. Okay I lied, all of them are my favorite.

around the fur has tough ass riffs bro

Swerve city is a masterpiece it’s really underrated 🥲

🔥 100%

The bridge of that song is one of my favorite Deftones moments.

So true

same goes for 'Sextape'.

Both probably Chino riffs

@@TheAlexmynameis Nope, Chino said all those spacey riffs and and sounds were all Steph.

@@sayckeone citation? I thought Stephen wrote mostly dissonant guitar riffs, Chino tends to write very ethereal harmonic parts, such as Change and Minerva

@@BetaBreaking He said it in a video interview shortly after KNY released, but I couldn't find it again when I posted my comment.

I mean, there's little point in playing 90% of Deftones riffs on anything beyond a 6 string with an extended scale

Anon Anon true, I’m just not use to it. IK i’m a normie

And bloody convincingly too.

seems like he's got a pitch shifting pedal/plugin to change tunings quickly

Nope

in this room

@@ss.b3705 we can't touch the floor

@@partidocomunistadespringfi8533 in here, we are all anemic

@@santiagomunoz8353 in here, anemic and sweet so

@@Bigolcheeser go get your knife, go get your knife

I totally agree.i remember when they first dropped that song before the album was released. I listened to it on repeat for a whole day

@@Heretical maybe soon! 😊 🙏 thanks

One of my strings is broken but I’ll simply work around it 💀

@@Trainspotter- nice! I'll get mine eventually! Thanks for all your shared love of music to all!

U,u,d,d,l,r,l,r,b,a,select,start 👌👌👌

Minerva is such an amazing ballad.

then KOREA and that finally destroy the entire neighborhood

@@wizanoctivagos then Passenger and sing the Maynard parts.

@@wizanoctivagos KOREA

WHEN YOU'RE RIIIPPPPPEEEEE

@@seanthebaptist6757 YOU BLEED OUT OF CONTROL

Bored definitely is great song but I don't think of the riff in that one when I think of the song.

@@kokotaughs oh seriously?? The riff of Bored is one of my favourites lol,but it's nice that you like too...

Bored has one of the sickest riffs.

@@kokotaughs bored riff is iconic

@@stephensummers1958 agreed Bored and blind are iconic nu-metal riffs

Yeah, I prefer Adrenaline and Around The Fur aswell. White Pony is still a great album, and so on... but I don't know, those first 2 albuns we're something else!

absolutely correct.... fuck band evolution almost every one of them made their best music early on

White Pony and Deftones were amazing also

Diamond Eyes

When I was a teenager I loved their first 2 albums, but as adult I prefer their later work.. Love it when a band grows with me :)

Bro, the whole "Adrenaline" album is (sic) Bored, 7 Words, Root and others

If you like heavy stuff then listen to When Girls Telephone Boys, Around the Fur, Lotion, Royal, and RatsRatsRats. If you like softer stuff then listen to Mascara, Xerces, Cherry Waves, and Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event

Digital Bath, Passenger

There is literally not a bad Deftones song. Diamond Eyes album is unbelievable and the brand new record Ohms is so dang solid.

love some pink maggit personally 😊

Same here man got to see them in atlanta like two months ago

@@brandonpeleaz7133 hope you enjoyed it, i wish i could get to see them live...

it almost felt like diamond eyes was going to be the end. i'm so glad gore and koi no yokan came out though. they're incredible additions to the catalog of chino's work

Yamada Elf How can you not include that? That's probably their best riff

There is a lot of better riff songs that were missed.

Song hits hard as fuck.

FR

That's the one i was hoping for too

Could've taken the place of Elite, which is practically Engine No. 9

Headup goes so damn hard

and Root...

What about Be Quiet and Drive though. Not the most complex riff Steph has came up with but it's perfect blend of hazey and heavy 👌🏼👌🏼

i agree, ive recently become obsessed with the chorus for some reason.

That song truly makes me want to spaz out in a good way. Roulette Dares by The Mars Volta makes me feel the same way.

YES!!!!

This is a conversation i end up having a lot and one that seems really controversial when i tell it to deftone fans I really really hate the self titled. Listening through anything that isn't Minerva or Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event feels like such a chore. I love deftones for a lot of their ethereal sounding stuff. I loved Saturday Night Wrists and Diamond Eyes. Gore was basically fan service in my eyes. But i really really really cannot grow to love the self titled

@@charlesblasini2134 Self-titled were their darkest days as a band. They came in separately and recorded just enough to make it a passable record.

prince was the reason i clicked this video

Thank you buddy! Glad you enjoyed the video

Thanks! I'll take note about Incubus

@@VERMILIONGOD Thank U so much

Incubus would be good.

Yeaaaa it would amazing

Lol, Send the Pain Below sounds like Be Quiet & Drive Far Away. Great songs, though...

That's cute

Yes and Yes...Pete is an animal!!!

Beware's outro is skull-crushingly intense.

João Souza definitely poltergeist

Gauze outtro also....guitar slide soumds like a lightnimg wave

agreed and great picture

I got and heard you bro! Share your own favorite Cannibal Corpse and Mastodon riffs. Really curious.

@@VERMILIONGOD Cannibal Corpse: Hammer Smashed Face I Cum Blood Frantic Disembowlment Make Them Suffer A Skull Full Of Maggots Addicted To Vaginal Skin Scourge Of Iron Evisceration Plague Code Of The Slashers Stripped Raped And Strangled Also Im gonna change my 2nd request to Slayer because the only Mastodon riff I know is Blood and thunder

@@VERMILIONGOD the Last Baron riff starts on 08:18 Divinations- the banjo-like intro Aqua Dementia - intro madness Circle of Cysquatch-after 1:15 Blood and thunder obv The Czar after 03:42 Mother Puncher Ember City Sleeping giant intro Prescious Stones Scorpion Breath

@@cesarbeltran6583 Almost anything from The Bleeding. So catchy and heavy as hell at the same time.
