Formed by three childhood friends from Sacramento, California, Deftones is a musical force of nature as unpredictable as the weather itself. Within five years of forming, the band signed with major label Maverick Records and set off on a multi-decade musical rollercoaster with as many highs, lows, twists, and turns as any hard rock band in history. Having built an insatiable fan base by literally spending years on the road, it’s this same fan base that has benefitted the most for believing in “their band.” These fans have been reaping the benefits of sonic landscapes such as “Around The Fur,” “White Pony,” and “Saturday Night Wrist” all the while embracing any side collaborations only seemed to strengthen the Deftones family. Their latest, ‘Gore’ (Reprise) was released in April of 2016 and it shows the band can still explore the unchartered with the best of them. We caught up with the band during their appearance at the 2016 edition of Riot Fest.
Fret Twelve welcomes Deftones Co-Founder Guitarist Stephen Carpenter to ‘The Sound and the Story.’
I caught a guitar pick he threw into the crowd once and it had "Got Any Weed? -Stef" printed on it.
Stephen Carpenter is why I play guitar. Abe Cunningham is why I play drums.
I agree with him that weed isn't as bad as alcohol
"I would like to get into charity work and stuff" <-- Every stoner who's ever lived.
Thank you Steftones, for the riffs that rocked my brain.. that got me through the pains, and the depressions. The sounds that tore through my spirit.
Alcoholic in recovery here, weed saved me too brother. Haters say what you want,but weed keeps me out of the bottle, no doubt. Rock on Stephen, love the Deftones🤘
Deftones was the first band I ever saw live, I'm talkin when Chi was alive. I was 22, I went alone I felt so good rockin out to them. Someone passed me the weed I hit that bitch and show got even better. People where buying me drinks because I was so gone in the music. A deftones concert to me is a vibe and experience. I'm 35 and I still love these guys. I hope my son will love them too when he gets to see them one day
I love how this band have remained themselves throughout life .
Ok, even "privileged" people get depressed, we're all human FIRST.
I smoked with Steph at the Boat House in Norfolk VA. It was during the Around the Fur tour. We were waiting at the entrance bonging beers when the tour bus pulled up and he jumped off the bus and hung out all day with us. Chino even kicked it with us for a little while. Cool guys down to earth 🌏
I got stoned with Stephen and Chino in 97 !! But I love Deftones!!! Steph you are still inspiring guitar players
i fucking love this guy turns the interview into a story about when he got stoned . Again ! lol classic
steph was why i started guitar back in 99. i was just all rap back then but my older bro played adrenaline and was a life changer
I always thought Carpenter was an awesome musician. Around The Fur sounded so ahead of its time and is such a bad ass album. Carpenter and Moreno always sounded so good together with their writing and melodys and Ive always thought Carpenter needed a guitar instructional Dvd for the longest time now.
"They all go together
Money doesn’t change people. Just shows who they really are.
My lifelong goal is to get stoned with Stephen
I'm grateful for your music, it has helped me get through some tough times. ILY Steph.
I see people talk shit about Kiss so much, but so many great guitar musicians say that the moment they discovered Kiss it changed their life and inspired them to play music!
When your feeling down, just know y'alls music helps people through depression and some of their worse days. Deftones have been on my playlist every single day and will always make my day better.
