where's sergio from? trick question - no one cares.

here they talk about nationality and some other stuff. love this interview
Deftones - Interview with Chino, Frank & Stef @ Latin MTV (2001)

This is where it's funny you always either say "not calling u a fanboy" or "fanboy!" and u step right to the interview immediately. A fanboy would know every detail about everything like u seem to and argue it till there's nothing left. Way to go, not calling YOU a fanboy or anything. Thanks for the vid, let's not get too much deeper, got shit to do today like watching my Detroit Tiger's opener.

Michigan represent!

What a game ehh???!!!!! Nice to sorta meet ya!

Yesssssir! right on

yes about love, but not only love. here's omar in mars volta talking about the importance of conflict.. i see it that way too, what he says can be applied to everything in life, films,books,relationships and even a deftones board

FREAKBEAT: The Mars Volta, part 2

New Album, New Tour........same old love!

bumping this shit for those who are newer to the site.

Sexy, diverse music. Incredibly unique.'Nuff said.

They excite me more than any other band i know of, goose pimples and all that jazz.....
Cool ass mofo's!  And they mix every kind of sound i like and mould it into one!

Deftones write the music I don't have the talent to create. I swear sometimes they have found a way to pick my brain. Everytime I get an idea for a song I would write the same concept appears on the next album. It's seriously fucking weird. NO other band can contrast the light, dark, positive, negative, heavy, soft, (ect. you get the point) like this band. So dense yet so simple.....

Knife prty. That is why I love them.

Very similar to what I might say lol. I bought ATF in 98 when I was 14, and their style of heavy music with beautiful melodic moments was just fucking perfect. As I grew my musical taste started to change and it's like Deftones always wrote an album that was exactly what I wanted to hear at that time. There are even certain songs that grow on me years later. Rx Queen and Moana are examples of songs that I was not very fond at release, but have since become favorites. I love how they can build upon their sound and surprise you without completely abandoning their core vibe. The change feels natural I guess, and not forced. I feel like many bands go into the studio with a mindset of "our last album was heavy/slow/melodic/experimental/etc, now lets do any album that is this, this and that".

Know what you mean i can make up a cool riff on the spot but its combination of all their inputs that make a true deftones song,the lyrical style is also hard to write in i find if i sit down and try write some lyrics i just write the same old cliche stuff over and over but if i am up super late and am really tired i'll just feel like writing and i'll just write down lots of things even if it's just a line i think is cool or whether it's like a whole poem or song a lot of the time i don't even remember writing it, i think it's because my mind is really busy i am always thinking of something but when i am that state of mind i can think and write clearly i can't make myself write i just do it when i get the urge,i think that's where a lot of people go wrong they get a preconceived notion of what the albums going to be about rather just writing what they feel and you can tell their insincere.

What is it about Deftones that makes me love them? Ya, know I've been asking myself that for 15 years.. and to be honest. I don't have an answer. I just know that I absolutely love them. Something about them just musically turns me on.. Whether it's Stephen's hammering guitar riffs, Chino's lyrics/vocals, or Abe's drumming.. to Frank's soft eerie synths, or Chi/Vega's bass lines..

It all meshes together, and I feel that they are the perfect epitome of a rock band (at least of this generation). They started out as just friends jamming in a garage, writing music - and here they are 24+ years later STILL making amazing music. Most bands that have been around for this long, have either gotten worse, put out a band album here or there, band members come and gone, or would have simply called it quits. But Deftones have stuck it through, even in their "dark" days when they weren't getting along. They're a band of brothers that all "click" and they just have this incredible vibe/sound that they radiate with every album/song..

I just thoroughly enjoy what they do, and I hope the have many more albums to come. They show no signs of slowing down.
I love you CHI!!! Hope & Pray that you get better ASAP!!!

I love that they're not playing monotone riffs and raps the verses anymore.

yet you showed some love for goon squad in another thread.. there you said it could easily be top 3 for you, so that style can't be that bad for you

there's rapping in that song? where?

and the guitars are pretty layered and melodic.

i think goon squads verse has a rappish nu metal vibe to it, but i'd like to call it rythmic singing. something that old school deftones have a lot of.poltergeist and goon squad have this in the verses, and therefore they have a old school vibe to them.judging by your post - it seemed your opinion was that there were no old elements on kny. but they haven't completely abandoned that style, and that makes me glad of course.also glad you enjoy old school stuff
