Please be serious.
My buddy has one of the guys on the phone friday.
Let's collect some good questions instead of the same old ones.
Bring em on and I'll pass them to him.
To Chino Moreno:
Do you inhale or swallow in Rocket Skates?

Please be serious.
Is it too much to ask?
On here it is.
I'd think of a question, but it's so damn hard to think of something they would actually be interested in answering.
alright here's a serious one:
To who ever is on the end of the phone:
'What are your thoughts on the leak?'
ask about if any of the songs from eros were re-worked for diamond eyes or is it all just music they wrote after Chi's accident .
ohhh
AND ASK ABOUT FINGER OF DEATH11!!!!!!!1111
( j/k)

Good one!
when can we expect a U.S tour?
are there any plans on releasing another song as a single besides rocket skates and diamond eyes?
Ask them if they're coming to Poland this year ;)
is eros really finished? totally?
Good questions so far. My buddy is stoked and might even use the actueal 'fan questions' since he didn't have time to prepare an interview yet!
If it's chino or not ask what is the state of team sleep!?
Since a lot of people were curious about this, ask what happened to "Nylons and Suspenders", if it got renamed or it's not on the record.
Ask about:
B-sides for Diamond Eyes(Original or Cover songs) and when we're gonna hear those songs
If Diamond Eyes(album) is a love story gone wrong
Where they got the song titles from.

He's not sure if it's Chino yet. I'll make a list of all reasonable questions for him to ask.
One more thing, it's gonna be published in a Dutch Magazine so don't ask too much about obscure stuff like b-sides. I'll add them to the list though.
Awe. Well here's hoping it is chino so we can know if ts is still alive
When can we see a Full U.S tour?

definitely those 2!
Will you be playing a lot of new tracks off of Diamond Eyes for your upcoming tour?
With the band carrying so much momentum, can you see yourselves hitting the studio again when the tour's up to capitalize on the current rejuvenation of the Deftones?
Right now, the only UK tour date is at the Download festival. Any plans to tour the UK properly anytime soon?
What's your favorite song from Diamond Eyes?
With Diamond Eyes being leaked so early, and what with the current trend of music being downloaded, do you think the industry was healthier when you guys started out, or are you fans of music being so freely available?
As consumers, would have downloaded Diamond Eyes?
Is the final album very different to the leak that has circulated?
Were there any inspirations for Diamond Eyes?
Which track has the most meaning to you?
Any interesting stories behind the songs or while recording?
Great guys, I collected these so far, put some together:
ALBUM LEAK ETC:
- The album got leaked in March already (Like with White Pony which also got leaked very early). What are your thoughts on the leak?.
- With Diamond Eyes being leaked so early, and what with the current trend of music being downloaded, do you think the industry was healthier when you guys started out, or are you fans of music being so freely available?
- Is the final album very different to the leak that has circulated?
- As consumers, would you have downloaded Diamond Eyes?
DIAMOND EYES
- How was it to work with Rick Raskulinecz instead of Terry Date?
- Which track has the most meaning to you?
- Any interesting stories behind the songs or while recording?
- Who wanted M-83 to remix Rocket Skates for the bonus itunes track of Diamond Eyes? And why?
- Were there any inspirations for Diamond Eyes?
- What do you think of owls? (Just kidding)
- Are there any plans on releasing another song as a single besides rocket skates and diamond eyes?
EROS / CHI:
- Ask if any of the songs from Eros were re-worked for Diamond Eyes or is it all just music they wrote after Chi's accident.
- Is Eros really finished? Like totally? Or did you stop any activity in on the album since Chi's accident?
- With the band carrying so much momentum, can you see yourselves hitting the studio again when the tour's up to capitalize on the current rejuvenation of the Deftones?
TOUR:
- What are touring plans? First Europe, then? Right now, the only UK tour date is at the Download festival. Any plans to tour the UK properly anytime soon?
- Will you be playing a lot of new tracks off of Diamond Eyes for your upcoming tour?
- Is it possible you guys will tour with Far again like in the early days?
FINAL:
BAD USELESS (FOR THIS INTERVIEW) QUESTIONS:
- What is the state of team sleep (Chino) !?
- If Diamond Eyes(album) is a love story gone wrong
- Ask what happened to "Nylons and Suspenders", if it got renamed or it's not on the record.
- B-sides for Diamond Eyes (Original or Cover songs) and when we're gonna hear those songs.
- Where they got the song titles from.
Tour related:
Can we expect more rarely played live songs ? Or even some really really oldschool shit ?
Quote from: MxKnife on Apr 14, 2010, 07:14 PM
If it's chino or not ask what is the state of team sleep!?
Hell Yeah!
Ask when is the Holy Ghost shit coming out.
I'll send him all questions tomorrow (Europe time) morning.
Quote from: Deadradio on Apr 14, 2010, 08:55 PM

ask if it's getting released in stores someday
ask if there's beef with Dave Mustaine, or if slopez was joking. and do you like megadeth's music. collab?

And this, please.
what was it like playing with their 1st bassist in la a few months back for one of the chi benefits? what new bands does the band like?
What was the reason of Chino's weight lost? are you back on drugs? or did you start taking better care of your self after the Chi accident?
to wax: your crows are coming for us ;)
to moreno: did you touch any guitar to play on upcoming album?
Man i don't think my question was that bad or useless.

might be a bit intrusive.
i think you have the bases covered here. squeeze them for some eros info. i think it's the mystery around the project that has me interested. also get some info on canadian dates if possible. looking forward to get some answers for fan questions and not press questions.
Can I ask which Dutch magazine?
Dunno if this question was already mentioned, but I want them to tell how it felt to record the music in the same space again instead of using tools. Did they feel it was a benefit for the music and do they think the record sounds so cohersive because of this?
Also ask them if M83 has collaborated in any track from the record.
- A couple of months ago during the writing secessions for Diamond Eyes it was posted on the Deftones twitter some pics of the band in the studio with Anthony Gonzalez.Did he participated in any track that is on Diamond Eyes or on any B-sides?(if he did participate on a b-side will we get to ear that song)?
- How did that collaboration came up?We know that Chino is a fan of M83 and that you guys played a song of his on the opening for your shows?was this an idea from chino?have you guys met him before coming up with this collaboration?
why were you so fat over the years, and how did you loose it (and how much)? thank you
When can we expect a live DVD with the new stuff and classics and also old school footage?
Any B-sides songs off Diamond eyes?
If the sales and touring goes pretty great will Eros be released by beginning of 2011?

chino needs to make a weight loss dvd for all the fatties that want to burn through their fat in a cool way
"hello boys in girls, this is how you lose your love handles in three months"
*snorts some coke*
"there, now wait for the results. profit!"
Quote from: beaverwithfishyshoes on Apr 14, 2010, 11:13 PM

LOL
Lots of you guys probably don't care but for a moment of the conversation, I'd really focus on the setlist and even name some songs... Tell them about Fist, Riviere, Pink Maggit, etc...
But anyway, I still think that the guy MUST ask them about Eros, Team Sleep and The Holy Ghost.
Quote from: beaverwithfishyshoes on Apr 14, 2010, 11:13 PM

really this would be an interesting conversation if you could ask him the right way and with respect, and if he went into detail. cause he was like that for like 6 years, that's a long time. why did he decide to check it (i never thought he'd look normal again, really, and oddly he inspired me through those years not to let myself go, and diet when needed)
it's the elephant in the room, he might wanna talk about it if asked politely
i kinda hope it's Stef or Abe. we've heard from Chino enough and he always says the same thing
Lots of good questions. If Steph is there ask him what's the latest with Sol Invicto.
I'd rather hear Chino talking about his singing than his weight, honestly.
more of a demand than a suggestion but, tell those fuckers to get a live dvd happening already.
Speaking of which: will there ever be a DVD for the Chi benefit shows? We know there were pro-cameras there!

No need. Adam Rothlein ( who directed the proshot ) is on facebook and ready to answer any question about it. So far, no plans of a release.

NNNOOOOOOOO!!! putting it out would be great for all the fans that couldn't make it to experience a little bit of it. as far as the deftones career goes it was a pretty big thing. oh if only i could get my grubby hands on all the footage they've done nothing with over the years.

Then maybe why isn't it being released should be asked.

I'm not sure there is a specific reason... I just think that WMG don't think it would get them enough cash.
These are all enough questions. Thank you. I'll let you know how the interview went and where it's gonna be published.
What is Chinos secret to loose so much weight?
Quote from: gunsrazorsknives on Apr 15, 2010, 04:39 AM

He just thinks about all the faggots on this site who obsess over his appearance and it makes him vomit vigorously.

Lawl.
Btw, I did not pass any questions on about health, appearance, weight loss or drugs..... Guess the reason

he will carry this one to the grave
so far the best questions are
-Is the final album very different to the leak that has circulated?
-Are there any plans on releasing another song as a single besides rocket skates and diamond eyes?
-Ask if any of the songs from Eros were re-worked for Diamond Eyes (recall the eros teasers, the drumming is You've seen the butcher pay close attention, plus chi was fine during that moment)

But anyway, I still think that the guy MUST ask them about Eros, Team Sleep and The Holy Ghost.
If you turned up to an interview, presumably for a new album that hasn't even been released yet but has somehow been leaked, wouldn't you get a bit pissed off if the interviewer is acting as if he is bored of talking about diamond eyes and wants to know about new material from sideprojects?
Asking about the side projects is one to two questions at the most. It's not going to outweigh the Deftones questions.
if it's Abe, ask him this: if you could choose, would you rather have been a black guy?

my thoughts exactly.. chino o:co are now doing interviews to talk about the new unreleased record, promoting it, and they will get bombarded with questions about eros,team sleep etc? he even got irritated before when the interviewer asked about why they didnt play certain songs live. its not like he knocked down tables cameras and mics and went berserk but he was "zzzz"
Quote from: Jacob on Apr 15, 2010, 09:10 AM

;D i think we all know the answer to that
I would ask them what kind of control they have on their videos and if they think they are still a good way to promote music or just a waste of time. I personally like watching videos, but I know many bands hate them.
Chino, and the whole band in fact...what is your HONEST opinion about the S/T record? Do you guys even like it? And Chino, what is Battle-Axe about? Thanks.
I think it's justified to just ask one question about team sleep at least. There hasn't been Any news in a long time and a lot people here would like to know what's the state of the group. And besides maybe the band gets tired with being the same questions.
I bet this interview will never even take place.
Or it's only a minute And a half long like that harddrivexl one haha
Quote from: MxKnife on Apr 15, 2010, 03:37 PM

Exactly
Whatever dudes. Report following Saturday.
Interview is going to be with Abe, only 20 minutes but the dude liked a lot of our questions. More tomorrow!
Great Thanks so much Sly!!!! ;)
ahhh man of all the people i'd like to interview abe is the man, he got me into playing drums. if you get a chance can you ask him what recording snare he using on digital bath, it sure as hell doesn't sound like a TAMA bell brass!
Abe would be my fave to interview, Stef too, then Chino, then Chi and Frank my least fave. Frank always seems to be a little moody. Abe is funny and cool.

Right on. Abe seems fun. And we might actually get some real answers to questions, as opposed to Chino's canned responses.
Great to find this page from the internet! A big Deftones fan from Finland is joining in! I also have an interview with Abe on friday and I am waiting for that so much. :)
Writing also the questions and I also try to find something interesting to ask him, cos I bet he is a bit bored after the thousands of questions about the new album...
Is this Sharing Lungs international page or more in the USA? Well, great to find you guys anyway!! :)

It has people from all over the world man. It's pretty much the only big Deftones forum out there (and part of the website Deftonesworld.com). I think even the 'Tones themselves know of this place.
Anyway, welcome! I've been here since White Pony (I've deleted my account a few years back) and while I am mostly inactive in between 'Tones releases, I always come back! =)

Thank you very much! :) Nice to be here! Wow, I cannot understand how I´ve missed this place?? This sounds just the right place for me to be. :) You have been for a long time, that´s great! :) It´s middle of night in Finland and tomorrow in the evening I have the interview with Abe, and I am going crazy! :D This is my first big interview ever and I want to ask the RIGHT questions.....I love the band sooo much. Since Around The Fur was presented to me, I was in love :)
Quote from: niina_ on Apr 15, 2010, 09:09 PM
I have the interview with Abe, and I am going crazy! :D This is my first big interview ever and I want to ask the RIGHT questions.
First question: Penis length?
Second question: Penis girth?
Third question: What was the first song they wrote for Diamond Eyes, that made the final tracklisting?
ask ' how many tracks did you record for the album and will and b-sides be released from the diamond eyes sessions?'
do you plan on touring south america (more specifically, Venezuela)?, last visit was on 2007
you have played adrenaline and around the fur from start to finish live, any plans on doing the same with the other records?
any plans on a live DVD?
Quote from: lungdamage on Apr 16, 2010, 03:19 AM
ask ' how many tracks did you record for the album and will and b-sides be released from the diamond eyes sessions?'
mm that's a good question. it's a question we could ask about every album. good one!
What are the 3 songs/cover versions being mixed by SLopez ?
Do they plan on playing on any TV shows?
Interview went by fast, 20 minutes is short. My buddy wrote me this:
Despite a lot of serious subjects I also had some fun things to discuss with Abe. I could not ask all your questions but I know that Diamond Eyes only features new songs, so no reworks of songs from Eros or anything. Because it's going very well with Chi, there's a very positive vibe going on in the Deftones camp. Also during recording, which wasn't always the case during recording of some previous albums. Abe is very psyched on every single track and doesn't really have one fave.
That's all he wrote me but I will let you know when the article is finished and published. It's for a Dutch/Belgian Magazine called Rock Tribune.
How did the Finnish dude do???

Right on. That was something I had wondered.
