If a band like Metallica haven't been inducted.. Deftones wont be any time soon

yeah pretty much as soon as all of us.  And like the other 30 fans the next album is sure to rake in, dies.  the deftones will no longer be remembered.

Runs With The Spirit

This is what sucks about the deftones, that they are a major label band that makes music videos and has dumb fans that make dumb threads like this.
The biggest mistake of their career was signing to Maverick. Sure financially and for fame its a great deal, but for genuine fans and music, no.
they have maintained some decent fans, rarely though, and quality in music, though could be better. But if they even accepted the award into the hall of fame, on the behalf of all the fans by or before Around The Fur, I Would hope they would reject it.

Yeah they sure did get a lof of fame from Maverick ::)

Bergerac

I thought this said 'Rick Roll Hall Of Fame'. I think they need to do a live cover of that track and Chino can tuck his balls in and pretend to be a woman again.

uh... like def-head said, we'll have to wait for another 12 years for the nomination to happen, so maybe they'll have another 3-4 records out by then, who knows what's going to happen?

also, the grammy, one platinum record and sold out shows haven't really increased deftones' popularity... at the end of the day, deftones have very few commercial hits (my own summer, change, back to school) heck, even the singles they've put out aren't all easy-listening, so i don't know how how people are going to get "influenced" by them if there are so few listeners... (that's an important criteria, remember?)

first of all, I couldn't care less if they made it in or not.

second, there's really no reason why they'd be taken in. they're a great band and they've been a big part of the nu metal scene. but they're not legendary in the same way as say Led Zeppelin or The Beatles. they'd need to get off their asses and be a little more creative for that.

i don't think any effort's come short for any deftones album to date... (except for production on snw)

but yea, i wouldn't care whether they made it in or not... it doesn't change anything.
