Be Quiet and Drive

"Be Quiet and Drive" is a track by Deftones, released as the second single from their 1997 album Around the Fur. It marked the band's first charting US single, reaching number 29 on the Mainstream Rock chart. For electric guitar players, the song is a rewarding study in the band's signature blend of heavy, down-tuned riffs and dynamic shifts between quiet, atmospheric passages and powerful, distorted sections.

  • The song runs just under five minutes, giving guitarists extended time to explore its contrasting clean and heavy sections.
  • It peaked at number 29 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, the Deftones' first appearance on US singles charts.
  • Released in July 1998 as a single, it also charted at number 50 on the UK Singles Chart, expanding the band's international reach.
Gibson Les Paul Standard
Guitar

Gibson Les Paul Standard

The definitive rock guitar. Its mahogany body, maple top and PAF-style humbuckers deliver warm, thick sustain with natural compression. From Slash to Jimmy Page, the Les Paul Standard is the backbone of hard rock tone.

Gibson Les Paul Custom
Guitar

Gibson Les Paul Custom

The 'Black Beauty' - Gibson's premium Les Paul with bound neck, multi-ply binding and upgraded hardware. Its ebony fingerboard and heavier construction give it a darker, more refined tone compared to the Standard.

Gibson SG Standard
Guitar

Gibson SG Standard

Lighter and more aggressive than the Les Paul, the SG's slim mahogany body and twin humbuckers produce a raw, snarling midrange. Angus Young's weapon of choice - perfect for high-energy rock and hard-driving riffs.

Gibson Explorer
Guitar

Gibson Explorer

A bold angular body shape with serious tonal punch. The Explorer's mahogany construction and humbuckers produce a thick, powerful sound favored by James Hetfield, Jimi Hendrix in his early days, and many metal players.

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier

The benchmark for modern high-gain tone. The Dual Rectifier's massive low-end, compressed saturation and scooped midrange defined the sound of 1990s and 2000s alternative and heavy metal. Tool, System of a Down and countless others.

Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9
Pedal

Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9

The most clone pedal in history. The Tube Screamer's mid-hump overdrive character pushes a tube amp into a creamy, singing lead tone while cutting bass frequencies for clarity. Stevie Ray Vaughan stacked two of them.
