A kind of a weird question.......but for some reason whenever I play the Deftones for the 1st time for somebody that has never heard them, people tell me that they sound like or remind them of the Smashing Pumpkins.
Anybody ever else been told that?
Sorry if this topic is gay, but I'm stoned.
no,the topic is stoned - youre gay.
sorry but im drunk
which songs do you play ?
i don't see the connections
Actually yesterday I found this while browsing on wikipedia:
Deftones lead singer Chino Moreno said in an interview that he is a fan of Adore, listening to it extensively while touring, and that "Once Upon a Time" "really moves" him.[92] Critics have found connections with the Pumpkins' sound in various Deftones albums

If you ask me, I kind of find the SP's sound on '03's S/T, If you get what I mean.
i think its obvious that deftones draw a significant amount of their material from the pumpkins sound, as they have done with much older bands like The Cure, and maybe you can here the more modern sound of bands like the Pumpkins more prominently in their music. All that aside, theyre alot of newer bands that sound like the pumpkins....
Going back to your observation, i can see this as a common perception amongst many

digital bath and riviere (typical chino songs) got that wobbeling sound that sounds like billy corgan on guitar. stolen from the song window paine from gish album
stolen ?
Daphne Descend's on Adore and Digital Bath's verse/pre chorus riffs are pretty much identical, lol. Besides that I don't think there are any blatant rip-offs. But yeah, I can see where your friends are coming from-ish.
Much respect,

I've never heard it either but I've read reviews mentioning Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgan, so maybe it's there. maybe I just refuse to hear it since I dislike Corgan very much.

wtf?stolen?
what seems to be the officer,problem
Good Morning Beautiful sounds just like a smashing pumpkins song.
yeah right...now all deftones songs souns like SP...
maybe its the tone of the guitars? I dunno.
Yeah definitley it's Stephen's buzz saw tone, it's like a doubled version of Corgans style, not to mention the similiar tunings and chord voicings and dissonance. But still they aren't anything alike really, I hate comparing bands. Just let every band be themselves.
Team Sleep sounds more like SP than deftones ever will..maybe its TS you should be critiquing, or Chino more specifically
Yeah might share some similarities...
chino > billy ... so..
Yeah team sleep does, it's a little more dreamy like them and all that shit but Team Sleep passes into Deftones territory just a little too though, well the self titled did anyway.
