Left out the Adrenaline songs, because well they are for that album.
I really like Gift, Like Linus and Venision but prob like Gift them most
Finally listened to Some people all the way, I didn't know the middle was so good.
Where is God Hands/Quirk? I would choose that song over the rest. But I voted for Like Linus because Chino's vocals really stand out to me on that song.
I'm actually not that big into many of those songs, but I LOVE Answers, so I go with that.
Gift is in fact one of my favorite Deftones songs. I'd love to have it in better quality.
(Like) Linus is the best song on that album, love it!
most of them are pretty badass. Venison and quirk are my two favs though. I voted for hump cause I like that one too
finally some interest in the old schoool stuff. Id say some people, gift, like linus A and Answers.
deftones need to return to this song writing mentality
most of that stuff is incredible
Gift is my favorite i wish they would play it live someday

I agree and for it's time, it sounds fuckin' good. I just love how it was fresh and still is if you played it now in your own band or even if they played it. All this Korn starting 'Nu Metal' is rubbish, if you're going to go down that route, it's Deftones that paved the way for the rest, all the way!
venision, by far.
Some People definitely.
Motherfucking Teething!
Definitely my favourites are Answers & Gift

That's not on (like) linus, just another demo isn't it?
God's hand deserves being on that old school list. It's the most well known tune along with like linus. And it's a hell of a song, too, one of the 3 best old school songs for everyone here.
Some People FTW
Gift for me. great songs.
Chino sounds so different most of the time but there is hints of his signature style here and there. his voice sounds almost more powerful
Has anyone ever asked chino or some of the band members if they plan to re-record some of these songs?
i asked chino years ago in '03, he laughed and said there was a 0% chance. haven't they played a song or two from like linus in the last few years? i don't know why but i feel like they have

i can't find the 2003 one..any info on it?
i just thought about something. i think they can raise a lot of money for chi is they re-master and release these songs, at least ppl will be more inclined to pay for deftones material that is valuable and knowing its goin to a good cause, aka CHI
like linus itself of course
I've read an article a few years back, I think it was with steph? and he said that those songs are just way too old to play. So i doubt we'd ever be fortunate enough to hear all that old school shit live. But my favorite is answers... love that hint of a reggae vibe they put into that song... Imagine what the deftones would sound like if they continued to go down that route. lol

I agree with your perspective. What we need is a super duper deluxe edition of adrenaline, a box set
disc1: Original record (no remastering, please. it's ok as it is)
disc2: Some demos of the songs that got into the album and a few live tracks and remixes and such)
disc3: The Like Linus songs in definitive quality (for once and for all, and never again)
disc4: A dvd with footage from the recording of adrenaline and the band origins and maybe a show.
It's a shame the 'tones spend no time looking back... And despite I admire them for staying fresh, I think you sometimes need to go back and honour your past where deserved.
how do you guys not like Some People is beyond me.
Can't believe I'm the only person who's voted for Christmas. That song is sick! Listen to it!
it was really up in the air between christmas and like linus for me but like linus has been a long time favorite deftones song.
haha oh well.. wouldnt be deftones without his fat ass getting run over... and he's one of my favorite guitarist even thought I know he's not flashy and full of solos(which doesnt dictate you as a good guitarist) and on top of it all he doesnt know a damn thing about music theory... It just works and sounds good...
teething

quote of the fucking year.
God Hand's is not on Like Linus album? or its just a Adrenaline demo?
just an old demo.
I voted Answers but glad to see Gift in 2nd, both songs are amazing.
hahahaha @vesanic i'm normally just drunk off my ass when i post here, don't smoke too much anymore... believe it or not i was neither when i posted that, just tryin' to be funny haha..

Im gonna take a wild guess and say this is version B of Like linus only because it was heavier

no.i know the god's hand version we have sound a lot like adrenaline, but it was actually recorded in 1972.there's tons of stuff that sound like adrenaline in mid 70ies.
in the early 90ties, they decided to take a break from the usual mature deftones sound and write more childish goofy songs like the linus stuff. it wasn't until 1995 they decided to sound like the normal god's hand style again and actually write a whole record sounding like the old tones.
you might not know this, but deftones don't evolve and experience new grounds, they love to go back like that,repeating themselves, so expect them to go back to the linus sound again.maybe to next record
Teething!!!!!!
I'm torn between Some People, Christmas, and (Like) Linus, but I have to go with Some People. That intro just kicks ass...
venison is my favorite, christmas is a close second. wasnt hopburg hop and bumble d from this era as well?
Gift.
gift and linus hmm coincedence they are my faves i think not answers is good too

Hopburg Hop is from around when Quirk/ Gods Hands were recorded. Bumble D is from the Around The Fur era.
thanks
GIFT DUH...it's so FUCKING uplifting and shit. It's crazy!!
Makes me want to swim with Jamaicans in the ocean and shit.
Where can I buy a copy of this?
You can't young man, it's not an official cd, but a bootleg compiled by fans
Thanks for that, I thought it might have been released in some capacity.
Love Gift and Answers...
The old stuff is really uplifting in places, not the 'dark' deftones we know...
yeah i really wish theyd redo linus, hell id rather have that than EROS, which is pretty astounding t now that i think about it
Where did the song "Do They Know it's Christmas" come from? Is that even considered a Deftones song?

It was like the live aid sort of thing but i think this one had more rock/metal people,no i wouldn't as it's only Chino,he sounds fucked up sings real deep
It's Deftones and Far, thats what I know.
I would like to know, when this was recorded. Also, was it released on a physical copy sometime or is it internet-only?
I'm sure there were physical copies of (Like) Linus, doubt anyone here owns one though.
For me it's gotta be the title track. Gift is an amazing song too.
I like the way it sounds to start off but the songs start to sound the same fast.
From what I recall, I think Some People was the best.

Nope, it's certain that this is a fan made compilation of demo tapes.
@tarkil: Yeah, I agree with that!
I was actually talking about the track "Do they know it's christmas" from Far. Was that released on a physical copy? A Far album or some compilation? I'm not that familiar with that band :)

Yea i went for venison but answers is close second,alot of love for gift that song always reminded me of lion king lol
I've always been partial to Answers. Reggae/rock fusion in general, the elusive Deftones guitar solo, the way the verse goes into that chorus...it's great. Like Linus comes close though.
