- In this sit-down interview, Stephen Carpenter and Chino Moreno of the Deftones discuss in detail with Dunlop's Bryan Kehoe their choice of Tortex Picks and how they have come to depend on Tortex as part of their sound.
Lmao @ 2:59 when Chino says "He keeps 'em in his beard!" Hahaha, fucking love these guys.
@2:57 Chino:"He keeps em' in his beard!" Talking about where Stephen keeps his picks!!!
Bryan: "Vaginas rule?"
Chino: "Note that's Stephen's pick."
Stephen: "Oh that's a great one, I think I might take that one home!"
Hahaha love these guys!
3:19 Brian "Huh Got any Weed"?!
Steph: "Yeah that's pretty simple"!
Chino : "He keeps them in his beard" 😄
Steph is so stoned xD
wow the imaginary smoke in that room
I know exactly what that's like LOL. When I first tried the Dunlop Tortex I fell in love with the pick. It just felt great. It had the perfect texture/grip. No matter how much my palms were sweating, the pick never lost its grippiness. I have been playing with Tortex picks for well over a decade now. No other picks compare.
What gauge do I prefer? I like the Orange ones (0.60mm). I think they're the ones that Hendrix used, but don't quote me on that.
I know, people give me slack for playing thin picks but it suits my playing style. I like to play very fast licks and solos and for those types of shenanigans thinner picks seem to work better.
Iconic interview
i want to see more stuff like this!!
Decent interview....amazing band
i caught a red pick from Steph at a show in boston last month...it's not the pick of destiny..I'm still mediocre
I got a pick from a Crosses show. I don’t play but I’m glad I have one lol
2:16 NEVER do that again.
That was so awkward. Bet they were just reminding each other how much theyre getting paid for this.
chinos face at 3:30 lol
lol
I have a pick dish on my desk too and the blue tortex are my usual go to. I'm just like mr deftone
I took my pick dish to the next level: an Altoids tin with a lid. That way my picks don't go flying everywhere if I bump my amp.
***** you sir are a genius. Taking it to the next level
dreaminginnoother Why thank you.
Carpenter es el amo del riff.....
lmao I've done the kief thing too
same 😂
I've done the car thing
10/10 Sasha grey pick
I love Stef! 😂
I too have used dunlop picks as a kief shovel lol
Chino out here throwing shade in this interview.. 😂😂 geez..
wish i could get a 1pc each collection, that'd be awesome, damn, just put em back into reproduction and sell a 100 dollar set on the Deftones website, I would buy that
i'd love to share a bowl with stephen :)
Carpenter is fucking hilarious
Kief scooper... brilliant.
Lol these guys are high as shit. Steph is funny man.
2:16 wtf hahaha
Some of those pick designs are hilarious. The “Super Gay” and “Vagina’s rule!” Stef does not care lol Chino’s are all super serious like pictures of his wife and dog or whatever the whole thing is a riot. Love these two. I can’t understand why there’s two camera guys and all this shit for this 4 minute video and one other segment of it that’s 10 minutes.
I would have enjoyed an hour of this.
well the girl in that picture on this video, is a former adult star.
@@sand_niqqa925 are you sure? Who is it?
@@chasedwards9626 I believe it’s Sasha grey. Reddit said Chino had a thing for her.
sooo hilarious.
“He keeps in his beard” lmfao
I was 1 in 86 depending when in 86 november
3:20 :)
Tortex blue is my shit as well.
Stephen is high as fuck in case you guys couldn't notice lol
Anyone else find this interview really awkward?
no
no
whats your favorite color?
An interview about picks ?... What's next step ? Interview about guitar straps ? :D
Breaks into cars. Lol
What does he meant with that?? I can't get it...haha
Lol 02:15
“ super gay” 😂
Steph has an upside down pentagram on his arm and satan rules picks. Is he into witchcraft or something?
Yeah because if I could sit down with these guys I'd definitely spend way too much time talking about stupid fucking picks.
I want my 4 minutes and 27 seconds back
So technical over a piece of plastic lol
It's not just a piece of plastic, bro. Seriously. I used to think that it doesn't matter until I actually tried all picks under the sun.
And eventually, I came to the realization that the Dunlop Tortex picks are de facto the best picks ever. It's not even a joke, I'm being serious.
The texture of the Tortex is so unique and provides the optimal amount of grippiness. I love 'em. I have a huge collection of picks but I only play Tortex picks.
They're just that good.
It’s obvious you’ve never met a guitar player
I have been playing Jim Dunlop picks since I was a kid. After watching this video, I want to throw up. I’ll be buying my picks from someplace else from now on. As a Christian, I have a serious problem with people think it’s cool to build picks that say “Satan Rules.”
no one cares, old man
Get the sasha grey one instead!
Imagine lmao
Satan Rules
gay
And that’s why I threw away every Dunlop product I had and will never buy anything from this company ever again.
why ?? tortex picks are the best picks ever made
chino is such a diva.
Eh. All this band is stoners pandering to stoners. Thought we had rap and reggae for that. Oh well, good thing itll never take a real hold in metal.
***** Not true. At all. Not even close. Maybe all the great bands from the 50-90s, but a lot of modern bands don't. And even some older ones. Steve Vai for example. He had a short drug problem but for most of his career he has been clean, and he is a rock legend.
Satriani as well.
John petrucci of dream theater.
Tosin Abasi (Guy doesent even drink)
I can keep going. A lot of people ask the question in interviews and it's just stupid.
I find it hilarious that you believe every great band that ever played music were stoners, it's fucking hilarious. The exact type of ignorance I'd expect from a stoner, lol. Anyway, didnt want a conversation. Reply, don't reply, I don't care. Have a decent day.
You make it seem like the Deftones are 311 or something. Do they even have one song about Cannabis?
Guess any band that drinks is just shit slop drunk music for alcoholics?
Tight logic.
Lose that shine bro🍻
They're simple and effective like Nirvana, but don't forget Abe, Frank and Chi, Sergio even, they put so many textures to the sound obviously. Deftones in my opinion, are that band composed of those who where rejected from other bands. Their idea of "collide extrangers sounds" until something big comes up is the pure definition of jam and have fun, and they never dissapoint by following this path. Even found the appeal of many music snobs and critics tastemakers.
What's the name of your band? Deftones have been around for almost 30 years. Get fucked.
