I love Deftones, my favorite band of all time, but Stephen Carpenter is not a very good guitarist at all... that guy is just adding strings and playing in whatever key his top sting is in at the time.. he's also using the same chord structures he's been using for 25 + years. I love it for what it is.. but Chino and Abe are the driving talent in that band.. shit there's a recent album that he admits to barely playing on.. Ohms I think it was.

You honestly played that Out of Style riff better than anyone else I've seen on here. Great video, man! It's pretty wild how inventive Wes's writing/playing style actually is. Fred Durst might be a goofy dude, but Wes, John, and Sam are without a doubt pro level musicians.

"Say what you will about Limp Bizkit..." I'll say this: they sold 40 million albums in their career and blended nu-metal with melodic licks, actually decent rapping, damn tight grooves of the bass and percussion working together in an atmosphere of a highly pyroclastic soundscape of the 90s and early 2000s. The juvenile machismo of Fred was chided far too often but the man has produced more artists and brought more platinum selling artists to the mainstream than we ever bothered to mention because we were too busy riding the hate bus.

Fckn mint!!

Wes is the best part of LB

And what about the sound, what do you suggest to use? cabinet, microphone, maybe a combination?

IMO, the key to sounding like Wes, is knowing exactly when to stop working on a riff. He always gives his riffs just enough to be interesting, and quits adding before the groove gets too cluttered. You can see the Primus influence, Larry is also a master of this type of riffage, though Lary usually creates chaos rather than groove. Kristofer Steen from Refused is another great example. I tend make riffs pretty busy, but I think theres allot to be learned from players like Wes.

Damn your guitar tone on counterfeit is sick. What are you using? Noticed you used the same guitar on the sour piece too.

Not sure you can say he’s underrated: even Limp Bizkit haters seem to appreciate Wes praising his unique style and persona 😅 Also judging on his interviews he’s just a really-really sweet guy

Nice. May I ask what do you use for drums?

One of my best musician friends is the only guy I know to draw a comparison between Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Moreso with Korn but they are both funk bands. Look at Korn’s grooves and it’s just downtuned dissonant Chili Peppers funk.

The rhythm section of Limp Bizkit are the best of those that came out in the 90s. If you want to really experience why, find the Limp Bizkit tracks where the vocals have been mixed out. You can hear all the amazing, drums, bass and layered guitar that show why. Sam, John and Wes are really overshadowed by an MTV clown who kind of undermined the legacy of some incredible musicians.
