i never saw this answered. does anyone knows why Serj doesnt show up in the video? i think his voice is great for the song so he should take a part in it.
serj probably said : "i help you on the song to make the record sold . but i cant help you at the video cuz in the fact the record is not that good ."
serj was in new zealand during the video shoot, he has a house over there. that is what chino said in an interview, doesnt remember which one
but anyway, what does it matter, the song sucks, the video sucks e, what would it do if serj would be in it? you think he shpuld dance in it besides chino? c'mon
serj dancing .
lol
he probably said "I was barely in the fucking song at all save for a few background vocals...go fuck yourselves" haaa
i forgot . chino is dancing on that video right?
that sucks
i think mein is great better than most snw anyway.
he was stuck in new zealand haveing trouble getting back into the USA at the time
I like the song and the video. Except the parts with serj. Chino said in an interview that serj did vocals for like the whole song, and they only kept that lil part cuz the rest sucked.
Why all the SNW hate? Noticed that a lot lately--iIt's a good album.

mein is a good song
i like the drumming in the song, rest of it is kinda bleh.
I was jamming to this song on my way to wendys tonight and Chi's bass sounds bad ass towards the end of the song.

me either..
i think the serj part means nothing...nothing speacial with his voice on this song..
Damn i want Rodleen or Maynard
mein was a bad choice for a single. i think the main reasons SNW didnt go GOLD was because the poor choice for the 2nd single, then no third single. after hole in the earth, they should have used "combat" as the 2nd single, then "kimdracula", then maybe "cherry waves". 4 good singles there, & it would have went gold i think. chosing mein(a good song, but not a single whatsoever), it's like they didnt want it to sell. then with s/t hexagram was an odd choices of a single too, it should have been needles & pins
if they'd just have me pick their singles they'd be all good
I think Mein is a great track and was a good choice for a single. Even though Deftones fans may disagree, Warner picked this track as it is relitively commercial compared to some of the other tracks and at the end of that day, singles are released as a taster for the album.

no the record company hate making money on album sales. deftones too-for every sale they scream of pain in their soul
combat is by far the best song on snw. but it really doesnt have any competitors.i dont know if its good single material,maybe little too hard and loud, but it would be great as an album opener
Chino said, in an interview, that Serj was "stuck" in New Zealand because he was going to get his green card, or something with visum...something like that, couldn't leave New Zealand...

Yeah, I believe in the interview Chino said Serj was looking to get a citizenship or visa for NZ, the video is on you tube somewhere.
yeah serj's lil part did suck. Another reason they probably didnt use all of it, is cause serj's lyrics were most likely really political. Which wouldnt mix with that song, or any deftones song for that matter. He almost ruined that song for me.
I would have liked more Serj lyrics

definetely ;)
Cherry Waves obviously should have been the second single, I believe they would've had alot more sales.
I'm glad they didn't choose it though.

seriously still i am....
If it was the only part Serj would have to sing, they better wouldn't have put anything... (i mena, just leave the song w/out Serj...)
'cause i hopped a little more from Serj.... what he didi (or they finally put) is like... nothing...
Actually before " Mein" i hardly even knew of the deftones ( i'm a late fan) i knew change Because my friend loved the song
And i liked it ... But it never really wen't anywhere
Then i heard Mein and was like :o i love that song i've got to have it so i downloaded it... with a whole lot of other deftoens songs and since have becoem a big fan of the deftones.
Plus i like serj's part in the song
