Deftones will be doing a live Q&A on Twitter from 4pm – 5pm CST tomorrow, November 13th. Use #AskDeftones when Tweeting your questions to the band. Watch the full Q&A live at http://www.Deftones.com/. (http://www.deftones.com/.)
Vesanic or anyone here, we should try to ask them about pink maggit or why they always play the same set every night.
We should definitely ask them about Pink Maggit. I think enough people are interested. But I guess we have to focus on KNY first.
We could ask if they still intend to record those covers
Ask about Eros and Chi, they never get asked about that.
In all seriousness though, ask Chino what the hell he's saying during the headup chorus.
Nah ask them who their favourite person on SL is.
Hahahahahaha. We actually could ask them about SL.
Quote from: Vesanic on Nov 13, 2012, 06:56 AM
Hahahahahaha. We actually could ask them about SL.
Haha.Do it!
We should ask them:
1. Why they decided not to put "Lovers" on S/T and if they'll ever play it live?
2. Some track names from Eros?
3. If they'll ever have Terry produce them again?
I guess I'll just ask them if they could play Battle-Axe, Pink Maggit, Beware and 976-Evil/This Place Is Death next year in Europe. I'd love to see those songs live
Here's what we should do, let's all agree upon maybe 5 questions we want to ask and everyone that can go onto the live chat and if we all flood it with the 5 questions we want to ask we can get the answers..... Just an idea and considerig so many fans in here we prolly have a good chance of getting our questions in.... What do u guys think??
i ask when we are going to see a video for this album ¿
let's ask them about the next album.
I def think at least one of the 5 questions should be sl related, it would be great to know how often and who visits the site, that would cool to know so I def vote for that one, maybe make a poll and once we figure out what we should ask then the top 5 we flood the Twitter session and get the questions we wanna ask answered....
Ask if they'd ever think about doing a double album, or potential a double album with one disk being Eros. They know we want that shit. BTW how far away are we from this live Q & A?
When is it starting?
Quote from: Vesanic on Nov 13, 2012, 07:27 PM
When is it starting?
It says 4pm to 5pm in Central Standard Time. So it depends on where you are, V. My top 3 guesses would be North Korea, Angola or Sierra Leone
Its noon in cali right now.4 more hours.

HAHAHAHAHAH ;D
I'm fixing to head out there myself. Real quick what's a question that's not fucking stupid that you want me to ask in person? Just one question. I'm not going to interview them.
Ask Stef and Chino if they'll ever shave :P

Not sure if those questions are "good" enough, but I'd like to know when the video for Tempest will be released and which songs could possibly be the next singles.
I know they're lame but I couldn't come up with better ones so fast
Not so much a question but, you should tell Sergio he's your favourite member of the Deftones just to see the surprised look on everyone's faces.
Ask where the hell the Tempest video is and whether or not they're releasing the bonus track cover songs.
they are not releasing any any bonus material. the tracks WERE NEVER RECORDED. Don't people listen?
Quote from: scatterbrain on Nov 13, 2012, 08:09 PM
Its noon in cali right now.4 more hours.
I don't think they're in Cali.
I'm not going to ask about the video because it will come out in soon anyway. But yeah I was going to ask what the deal is with the covers anyway. I am going to make an Earth Wind and Fire suggestion, too haha...

They weren't recorded, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they won't ever do them. I think at this point, yeah it might be too late, the albums already out and so they might think "why bother" but you never know.

Right, they're here in D-Town TX baby! That's twice in a row that we've been lucky to have them here on the day of the album release. Hoping that they might play the album front to back tomorrow night but we'll have to see. I'll recommend it but that's obviously totally on them. They might not really be able to pull off a few of those songs live.
Edit: and it's 3:30 PM here so it should be another half hour until it starts.
Starts in 12 minutes.

probably some old fart from management sitting there anyway, while the band is out getting drunk.
plus, using a shitload of sarcasm. is it Abe answeing these questions? he's a pretty sarcastic dude, right?

and the last 10 mins they're just gonna sit there silently.
this was so fucking lame.
Ok that q and a was horrible!!!
Yeah this was pretty goddamn weak.
so...this is it?
So I guess it's over? That was the worst q&a I've ever seen. Only new info was they plan on adding more SNW songs live, Eros may never be released, Pink Maggit may happen live someday and they don't care much for us here at SL. That took an hour...

I've always has the impression that they're not very talkative and kinda drawn back. lately Chino has started being a bit more comfortable in interviews though, it seems.
but doing something like this and then being total asses about it is a kinda different matter. I don't mind them being cynical punks though, hell my favorite musician is Mike Patton and he invented being cynical in interviews. but at least he made it fun and entertaining, these guys just don't give a fuck. wasting fans time, more or less.
At least they answered the SL questions.
And at least they answered Vesanic's questions, it was nice to see some sort of love to at least one if us from here.
Quote from: Vesanic on Nov 13, 2012, 11:06 PM...
Steph is a legend if you can get the time to hang out with him, I just think they hate the internet and same old, lame ass questions. I always remember Steph saying in an interview that he could care less about the songs they write, since they're just that... songs and he gets bored of them.
Saying that, I don't think I've ever heard the band thank the fans for anything probably other than the love and support for Chi, so I guess they come off pretty smug.

Just because they didn't answer your hundred thousand questions? lol
Stephen is the shit, and he can be very bold in his statements, he doesnt hold back and you know he means it.. Or he's completely fucking with you for some laughs lol Abe is very outgoing, and he likes to be a bit sarcastic and joke around as mentioned, but he can be very personable with his conversations.. I get the down to earth vibe from Stephen, Abe, and Frank. As for Sergio, I only met him during the DE tour and he seemed rather reserved but excited to be around fans... After all, they're just humans like you and I, they get annoyed and overwhelmed by the same old monotonous questions and routines, you would too if you been doing this since 1989. For a lot of you who haven't met them, the one that's most disappointing is Chino. For the last two decades he's dealt with floods of fans bombarding him, and for Chino it probably does get old. Yes, he will sign your stuff, say a few words, but over all he's reserved and just wants to get his job done and get to the next city, show, event, recording session, or in his case, home. That's just my 2 cents of rant on these guys.

You know, a couple of years ago I probably would have been all over this Q&A session with a lot of fanboy questions. But, in 2012, there's nothing I really want to ask them. They give me music and that's it. Nothing more and nothing less.

You know, a couple of years ago I probably would have been all over this Q&A session with a lot of fanboy questions. But, in 2012, there's nothing I really want to ask them. They give me music and that's it. Nothing more and nothing less.
I feel on you on that one, although I did ask what songs from KNY they'd like to do music videos for. Not sure if they have much of a say in what songs get picked for videos but with DE they provided some good imagery. YSTB and Beauty School especially.

It's funny how people often describe them as down to earth guys, yet they're able to be the most cynical punks.
I've always has the impression that they're not very talkative and kinda drawn back. lately Chino has started being a bit more comfortable in interviews though, it seems.
but doing something like this and then being total asses about it is a kinda different matter. I don't mind them being cynical punks though, hell my favorite musician is Mike Patton and he invented being cynical in interviews. but at least he made it fun and entertaining, these guys just don't give a fuck. wasting fans time, more or less.
Yes, yes and yes.
Just because they didn't answer your hundred thousand questions? lol
Ha! Exactly.

Stephen is the shit, and he can be very bold in his statements, he doesnt hold back and you know he means it.. Or he's completely fucking with you for some laughs lol Abe is very outgoing, and he likes to be a bit sarcastic and joke around as mentioned, but he can be very personable with his conversations.. I get the down to earth vibe from Stephen, Abe, and Frank. As for Sergio, I only met him during the DE tour and he seemed rather reserved but excited to be around fans... After all, they're just humans like you and I, they get annoyed and overwhelmed by the same old monotonous questions and routines, you would too if you been doing this since 1989. For a lot of you who haven't met them, the one that's most disappointing is Chino. For the last two decades he's dealt with floods of fans bombarding him, and for Chino it probably does get old. Yes, he will sign your stuff, say a few words, but over all he's reserved and just wants to get his job done and get to the next city, show, event, recording session, or in his case, home. That's just my 2 cents of rant on these guys.
WORD.
From here on out I'm keeping the guys on the stage and in my earphones , I've met them a few times and they were pretty much dicks both times and now this q and a they seemed the same, I don't want to formulate any opinion on them as people like that, ill just take the mind blowing music and call it a day!!!

well goodday to you Captain Obvious, nice to see you around these parts.
we're not talking about a fan meet and greet or haning around outside the tour bus to get stuff signed. I couldn't give a fuck about that. this was an organized Q&A, where they invited fans to ask questions to the band. they had even put up its own website for it with some neat design and lots of jazz. I get it that it's probably management's idea and the band isn't all that excited about it. but then say fucking no instead.
I might sound more pissed than I am, I'm not pissed at all actually. just a bit disappointed in them and rather annoyed with the fans who defend this behaviour because "lolz, they're just human". yeah, they're human. common courtesy applies.

first of all, I didn't ask a single question. second of all, they picked the most monotone and boring questions to answer, most of the time with sarcastic or really short answers that anyone could see coming. if they're so bored with it, why not pick the funny or weird questions and then make something entertaining out of it?

Yeah well I dont know about you, but when you meet a band, you can ask them fucking questions. I do every time I meet them, and I get answers from them. What's the difference between a Twitter message board and in real life after a show? I really dont see what your raging up hype about my response, people were trying to drawn a conclusion of the type of people the guys from Deftones are based on a shitty Twitter Q & A; pretty absurd I do say.. The only way you can really get your questions answered by any member of the band or draw conclusions based on what kind of guys they are, is in person, not twitter.

Right on, I don't understand why this world insists that we need a multitude of social networking mediums..

Im sure the barrage of stupid questions overshadowed the good ones to.
"when are you coming to my hick town in the middle of nowhere u.s.a.?"
"what dose koi no yokan mean?"
"will you guys play at my house for beer and drugs?"
"what was the first song you wrote?"
And dumb comments like
"hey I love your album 3 Dollar Bill Yall"

This is bullshit. Lots of artists actually care about what their fans think, and given Chino's reaction towards certain online behaviours, I can safely say he probably does.

im pretty sure they're beyond that point of coming into a forum just to see what their fanboys think about them. if im not mistaken artists hate the fact that fanboys think that they can dictate what the artists can do and what they cannot do... which is bullshit cuz in the end like they always do they'll do whatever the hell they want like them or not.
*edit*
besides those dudes have kids, families and most important LIVES. im pretty sure they don't have time for this bullshit and if they do trust me, they wont spend it here.

Yeah i was just curious if the record company does it as market research or something, I imagine the guys don't look into that much apart from some social media
Deeply boring.
that was gay. I asked 4 questions and didn't get one answered. Ves got two answered! Needless to say, they came accross as dicks to be honest, and in more cases than one didn't actually answer the questions.

I think he meant it wasn't ready for release time but they finished it after
Finishing anything after the point where it would have needed to be finished doesn't seem like them at all.
Yea they usually just abandon it but Chino did say he really liked it so maybe thats why they put the effort in
Quote from: DeftonesNZ on Nov 14, 2012, 09:16 AM

But then again if he loved it that much, he would have got it done in time. Or maybe even tried to release a second version of the album with it on there, like White Pony did with "Boys Republic". I say this also because I really would've loved for that song to have been on the official CD the first time I heard it. It would have had so much stronger of an impact on me given the time I heard the album, and the fact that it would be in the full circle of the album would have made it so much better. Especially if it was the closer. It would have an interesting contrast to "Moana" (which could be second to last).
Don't maybe it was a while before they finished it because they would of been busy touring,It's a shame though it is a really good song i love it ,it deserved to be on the album
Yeah, I especially love the "the more you wait, the more we burn" part. The little bit of guitar in that part sounds fucking dope. Has that same tone as in "Knife Prty" and for some reason I love that sound....
Yeah that bits really good it comes out of nowhere but somehow still flows,also that main riff sounds awesome and is really fun to play
I am pretty sure they are lurking here, or at least they used to.

i had a cool situation with chino, this was a couple months before the release of DE in amsterdam. a day before the concert im sitting in a coffee shop smoking up with my frinds when one of them goes "yo, its chino!'. im didnt beleive him but then i looked over and i see him with his gf, he walks past us to a gift shop. i was pretty star struck because hes my favorite vocalist of all time, so i go after him to the shop, ask him if we can take a pic after hes done, he says 'sure'. a couple minutes later im sitting with my friends at the table and chino walks out and is actually looking for us. comes up, we talk like 10 min, take a pic. i asked him if he wants to smoke up but says no that hes with his gf. then he walked off and i went to his concert the next day. so all in all, i guess i caught him on a good day because he was cool as fuck.

Hahaha what?! Most people here are all over KNY and a fairly high amount of people think it's their best effort to date!
Vesanic is right, look at all the praise they're getting for KNY. They're not children, they know that not everyone is gonna like the album, they can handle it. That said, I would imagine that even the most self-confident ppl will kinda feel hurt or take a hit to their ego to read the negative stuff, because even if you're realistic and you know not everyone loves it, as musicians who make music they love and want fans to love it too, it'd probably suck to actually see the comments. So I dont blame them for avoiding it.
Also, that Q&A was hilariously lame. Most of the questions were lame as well as the answers. Cool that they said about adding new/different songs to the setlists and about Pink Maggit though, but needless to say, noone should get their hopes up.
That said, I dont think they're assholes. I understand they came across as disrespectful, bored time-wasters, but at the same time, I just think it depends on the mood they're in at the time as well as the fact that things dont always come across the same way over the internet. I'm not making excuses, I just think they can act like assholes and they can also act like the most relaxed, nice ppl in the world, depending on the circumstances. So ah well.
Yeah but i just imagine at this stage of their career they don't even care that much any-more they've got used to the criticism now i just don't think they'd come on here to seek validation if they did it would be to mess with us or have a laugh

People take the negative opinions more serious because they know it's mostly from older fans, and the new fans love KNY. They are onto the next thing probably after the excitement wears off.
If they ever play Pink Maggit live, half of the people in the crowd would wonder what is this strange version of Back to school.

I dont think it's mostly the new fans. Granted, I've only been a fan for about three yrs, but they are without a doubt my favorite band, and that's including their older albums. But I think it depends where you're at in your life, emotionally or musically. I mean, fans that have been into them since their first couple of albums were released probably connected the angst or whatever, and over time they may have gone in a similar direction to Deftones where they're more mellowed-out or can connect with their newer sound. Whereas others will still be into the same sound and feelings frm early Deftones and so will prefer the older stuff. But new fans can be the same. With me, I prefer that dark, raw or fantastical music frm them frm ST and WP because it connects the most with me, even though I became a fan of them around the time they started making DE.
ask them if they signed a contract to play bored -7 words encore for the rest of their life?

Saying that, I don't think I've ever heard the band thank the fans for anything probably other than the love and support for Chi, so I guess they come off pretty smug.
I've met stef and I wouldn't have said that he was a legend.

Stef's deal is that he is just completely straight-up. He does not fuck around or talk bullshit, and he even made us aware of that the other night haha. Yes, he is easy to talk to, and my favorite out of the band because we have met on numerous occasions and smoked him out on their bus, because he is really down to earth. But yeah he doesn't always have flattering stuff to say. Still have mad respect for him.
