Dino. It was 98' I saw you (fear factory) in Rochester NY. We were running late. As we were jogging up to the Water Street Music Hall, you guys were playing "shock". Your guitar sounded so amazing, so tight, so badass!!! That's the sound I've strived for ever since. Started out with Marshall. Sold that switched to VHT. Sold that switched to Line 6. Sold that. Thinking about Diamond heretic now. But your sound is what I really want to emulate.

Demanufacture was his best tone and one of the best tones ever captured.

The tone that he got on Obsolete album is the best 7 string high gain attack tone I've still ever heard .Korn being the greatest low end 7 string tone , and Deftones Steph having in my opinion an epic mix of both

The Genexus tone was sick. I'd love to hear zero signal done with their modern setup.

Dino is a great guitarist. God bless Dino!

Met this guy - what a top bloke, so friendly and loves his fans, GO Dino! You're a legend!

The riff on the song demanufacture, "i am the thorn in you eye" is one of the best riffs ever, everytime i hear it, it gives me a hit

His tone on Genexus is killer! Literally one of my favorite tones!

*My idol, Dino Cazares & James Hetfield is the reason why I picked up the Guitar. A band who released their first 3 albums which are all classics mean that they reek of something special, Fear Factory were WAY ahead of the times which are only just catching up with the whole Meshuggah craze.*

Great Dino, a lot we started with acoustic playing ACDC, BLACK SABBATH ... ALL THE BEST

Such a stand up guy. Keeping delivering and being modest about all the hard work. Love Dino.

Dino is the man. Making beloved by millions music isn't primitive. Its Talent

More than anyone, Dino along with Chuck Schuldiner and Jon Schaffer really shaped who I became rhythmically as a guitar player. I wouldn't be the same at all musically without them, especially Dino and Chuck.

It's amazing how far technology is taking us nowadays. The fact that you can get great sound on stage, without having to break your back hauling heavy equipment, is great proof of that. It's thanks to people like Dino Cazares and other musician and engineers who work around the clock to help us achieve that. Good job Dino! Much love. -Jake.

I f•ckin’ love Dino!

My favorite metal band of all time. I know people can make the case of how other metal bands achieved or influenced more etc etc. I don't care, you can have all that. I will never say they are the best, because that's all subjective, but they are my favorite in this genre \m/

I cant explain the emotions and impact you have had on me. You kick ass DINO!!!

I never understood the Dino-bashing online. I think he's seems like a great guy. Above all, he's a good player and can actually write good riffs and songs.

he is so nice! and I love FF!!!

Damn 'Expiration Date' hits me right in the feels man, been a while since I've heard that one \m/

Good stuff. Dino’s cool.

Dino … you rock … just simply… you rock!!

Dino is a great guitarist, not a virtuous, but no one like him to create powerful riffs

Angus and Eddie are why I play!! Same as Dino 🤘🤘🤘!!

Demanufacture Rocks!!!

Love my ESP 7 string with EMG 707s

I still prefer CDs ... They sound sooo much better

It blew my mind when I found out that a Mexican was behind all these sick ass ahead of their time riffs

Dino is a really cool guy !!

He seems like a nice guy. You'd expect some hard-ass who thinks he's the man but just seems real happy and pleasant.

Class act the man is awesome

Dino's clutching that guitar like he's a little kid whose mom is about to take it away from him

Nice person

I really should try lighter guage strings, I've been using .56 or thicker for B standard but this guy shows that looser strings still = great tone

Dino and gene hoglan could seriously be brothers. Uncanny similarities

it doesn't get any more minimal than that: CERO PEDALS. Just what I imagined: FF runs Ableton with backing tracks and metronome clicks for the drummer, automatically triggering kemper FX patches via MIDI.

I met dino at the masquerade in Atlanta near the time of demanufacture tour he hugged me with bear style hug and shook my hand he was the nicest guy you could ever meet real laid back he was going to give me a fear factory necklace but couldn't track one down instead I got an autograph on my fear factory cd and a photo of him hugging me I also have a photo of slayers Jeff hennaman before he died and tom Araya ond Kerry as well as there autographs I met all those guys in 99 pre 2000s got lucky enough to meet Wayne static from static x to and his photo

It shouldn't surprise me that Dino is influenced by EVH in regards to guitar tone. Fear Factory and Van Halen both invented their own genres of music.

Dino and Ibanez have already parted ways.

Well damn, i'm pretty sure my 6th is like .56, i'm not even sure what my 7th string is at lol. I figured the higher the better for that fat metal tone but i'm gonna have to try the 7th at .54.

What's the song playing in the background?

Where’s the demanufacture Kemper pack dammit Dino?!!

Had no idea he preferred 56’s for lows. That just feels like toy strings to me lol. May need to make the switch

Oh look it's me...

A cue stick guitar?

Hey anyone seen any videos like this from Christian? Yeah I think NOT.

who knew he's a sneakers head

ipods came after cd's dino

I bet that fret board has been cleaned a ton from all the cheeseburger and fried food grease from his fingers.
