Stephen Carpenter

Born 1970-08-03 · Sacramento, California, USA

Stephen "Steph" Carpenter (/ˈstɛfən/ STEF-ən; born August 3, 1970) is an American musician, known as the co-founder and lead guitarist of the alternative metal band Deftones. His guitar technique makes use of both ringing open strings and dissonant chord voicings, as well as stock power chords in polyrhythms. Carpenter began his musical career with Deftones playing the traditional six-string guitar. After becoming influenced by such bands as Fear Factory and Meshuggah, he began playing a seven-string guitar in the late 1990s. After Deftones' third album White Pony, subsequent releases would be written with seven-strings, until 2010's Diamond Eyes and 2012's Koi No Yokan, which were written with an eight-string guitar. Starting with 2020’s Ohms, songs have been written with nine-string guitars. Carpenter was ranked 60th in Guitar World's The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists poll.

Entertain Me: A Film About the Deftones poster
6.0

Entertain Me has all the great stories about how the band got together, what it was like in the early years, and all the other shit that we as fans love to hear, but it also flips it, and talks about the price you pay when touring non stop for years, being in the studio for months and years, and how just being in a band effects not just you, but your family and friends. That might be where it gets depressing. Yes, there are moments that are not so happy, both in interviews and on the road.

The Warped Tour Documentary poster
NR

The Warped Tour documentary captures the heart and soul of The Van's Warped Tour. It sheds light on how the Warped Tour has become the longest running and most successful traveling music festival in American history against all odds. It speaks to a generation and reflects their views on life, music and politics. The film reveals how a million patrons a year pass through its gates to find the central meeting place for a generation. It also illustrates the underdog story of Kevin Lyman, and how his good nature and natural generosity are at the core of the scene's success. This is the first documentary to tell the complete story of the tour's rocky start in 1995, to its induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and its importance in music culture today.
