For realz.  Your 2 cents on Vega?

I like Sergio and think he is a good replacement/stand in/whatever you want to call him. When friends were in need he stepped up to the plate to help them out when they needed it. Sure there is automatically going to be a comparison between Sergio and Chi, but lets be happy we still have the Deftones around. I wish Chi the best of luck in his recovery and hope some day he will make a return to the stage. I just dont see that happening anytime soon.

yes, we turned up the heat a little when you were away.. it's like the old saying "when the cat's away, the rats dance on the table".
but now when you're back, everything will go back to normal, welcome back

looking at the big picture- i'm glad we have a stand in bassplayer. if sergio hadn't join - no awesome tracks like royal (sergio said he wrote the main riff, something chino didn't agree on though) prince, risk, ystb. i'm just debating the detalis on his persona

If I didn't know any better, by reading this thread I would have thought Sergio killed Chi or something.

IMO, Diamond Eyes is one of their best albums and not only is Serg mad cool but he is the reason the Deftones are alive and touring...how can that be a bad thing?!!!

I think he's waaaaaaay too camp. Has had an influence on chino too imo, no way would he have wore pink shirts before unless he had sergio's camp ass next to him, making him feel ok about it....

Yeah man, that's not really valid. So what if he wears pink?

If it wasn't for Sergio, Deftones would be over. You all realize that, right?

Sergio is great.  Hes a fantastic musician and a really nice guy.  He really helped out the band during a hard time.  Im grateful we have him. 

I also think that Deftones handle the Sergio replacement quiet good.

you cant imagine how sensitive this is towards a fanbase and towards Deftones as a product in a difficult music industry.

In the beginning Sergio almost didnt appear in interview, later on he was present but didnt answer question...little by little he became more involved.
Their management knew that the whole situation (and a bad image) could harm the band and of course the sales of a new album.
Deftones payed their tribute to Chi more than we, the fans, will ever be able to realise. The best thing was to continue, to move forward with the truly one and only guy who could replace Chi.


And guys, lets face it : Chi will always be part of Deftones, always, but not as the bass player anymore unfortunately.

To my previous reply in this topic: if anyone affliated with deftones or the members of deftones consider this disrespectful I would understand. Feel free to remove my comments.

Because , besides Chi and the peolple really involved : who are we to judge ? Who are e to criticize their choices?

Fixed it. Now it's the only valid answer.

Someone else that you also hate?

You guys with the hypothetical musings lately. Yeah, it could have been someone else. Guess what, though? It's not someone else. It's Sergio.

Someone who can scream like Chi and play with his fingers, yes.

You're never going to find someone exactly like Chi Cheng again. Know why? There's only one Chi.
