Deftones Bullshit Thread

[from_musings]

Relax, they just need some time to decide which former bassist of will haven they're gonna pick

[GlimmeringMaggit]

I just looked through their Reddit page. What a hot mess. Fuck me.

People really need to evaluate their relationship with music and bands when they're demanding statements about a situation that's none of their business, taking sides on little information and getting emotional because someone left a band.

Genuinely laughable there are people saying they don't feel as able to listen to the band right now. It's pathetic.

that's leddit in a nutshell for ya

Deftones fans are really upset that the band fired the greedy stand-in bassist. They're even angrier than lost prophet fans were when they found out that their singer raped babies

yeaa i don't get it, i'm not upset. honestly, he filled in nicely, but like you said, he wasn't there the first 5 albums, from rags to riches, and the first 3 went platinum, and s/t went gold. the height of their popularity. really, Chino is the only none replaceable one (he needs to, and probably does have a contract where he gets the highest % of their income, cause it's his show. he's really unique, & by far the most crucial member). really, Frank is lucky he's official, cause someone like Crook could replace him in a second (but i guess since he  appeared on the first 2 albums as a guest, he kinda earned it)

i sometimes think it would be really interesting to hear a deftones album with Stephen replaced with someone crazy skilled, writing really complex riffs and leads. i wouldn't be opposed

Last night's episode of Atlanta had Earn randomly finding and keeping a Deftones shirt. Seems Donald Glover is a fan.

This made me laugh so hard

Abe's drumming on their cover of Wax and Wane grooves so hard.

Nice. Nothing beats digital though

[GlimmeringMaggit]

Literally nothing.

[B33HIV3]

Of Course imo, to each their own. It depends on my mood though

[GlimmeringMaggit]

I was agreeing with you. Digital Bath is one of the great drum intros of all time.

[B33HIV3]

Imo... So just to be clear to everyone, to each their own.

cool, there's an instrumental of mission sunset in there as well

There's currently an instrumental of Tropics on that list. I used to have a recording of Mission Sunset's instrumental. Did anybody else record it?
