Digital Bath:


. Chino wrote this song thinking about a sexual fantasy that he had about luring a girl into a bath and then electrocuting her with an appliance or something then dressing her back up. "It was probably 5 in the morning--we were still up partying--and I  just pictured this whole scenario of having this girl, bringing her downstairs and taking a bath and like, out of nowhere, just reaching back and electrocuting--basically throwing some kind of electrical device in the  bathtub and then taking her out of the bath and drying her off and putting  her clothes back on." - CHINO

Knife Party also comes from the fact that Abe collects knives. I read somewhere that one time he started showing them off on the tour bus and it got pretty wild, that's where the title came from... I don't know if it's mentioned on deftonesworld.com interpretations but that story came from Chino if I remember correctly.

i also believe that when he was playing around with the knives, juggling them or something, he missed one and someone got stabbed.  not killed or anything just stabbed in the shoulder or neck i think

I find that in most Deftones songs, the lyrics seem to always be about women. I sometimes wonder if Chino has a special prostitute that he frequents.

just because he sings about women doesnt mean he visit prostitutes. he's a rock star why would he pay for sex? u always write the dumbest shit. and oh yeah, you and yr sac contact said eros would drop in june..   ::)   so.. where is it?

ok you really need to chill the fuck out. he said he sometimes wonder, he wasn't claiming to know any "facts".
oh and a LOT of Deftones songs are about whores, that's what made him wonder...
and yes, I doubt Chino would need to pay for sex, I'm sure he's got lots of female fans that would be willing to do many sexual things with/for him, for free...
LOL
