Sorry if this threads been done before - if not here goes:
What is your favourite Deftones cover and why?
I have 3 favourites, probably in this order
Drive - The Cars: just done really well. I prefer it way more to The Cars original. It's exactly what a cover should be - not a clone of the original but unique and interpreted in it's own way. The instruments are spot on and Chino's vocals are beautiful, you can really hear the emotion in them. I played this song to a friend of mine and this is what got him listening to Deftones
Jealous Guy - John Lennon: beautiful song covered really well and again better than the original
No Ordinary Love - Sade : another beautiful song covered really well. Quite different from the original, not as mellow but works really well. My wife loves this song!
Simpleman....The Chauffer.... No Ordinary Love
Deftones - Say It Ain't So (Weezer Cover) (Live) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzMeNuTAKCM#)
My fave is the Savoury cover - does it a whole heap of justice.

To Have and To Hold
Three way (that's hot) tie.
If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
The Chauffeur
Do You Believe
Savory, Simple Man, Sinatra, wow all those start with the letter S, strange...
oh and I really like To Have And To Hold as well.
It's gotta be If Only Tonight We Could Sleep.
Chino's voice is especially husky, suits the song, I think. Plus it's just awesome knowing they were playing a tribute to the Cure.
If only tonight we could sleep
