Why do you like Deftones?

[DJR]

Perfect fusion between heavy and melodic. Get the balance just right! And they're cool ass mofo's

[Bza々]

Been listening to the Tones since 2001. Could never understand why no one around me saw the magic in this band that I saw. Everyone was so hung up on mainstream bullshit. I finally came to the realization that I was just smarted than everyone else.

[Dath]

Perfect mixture of beauty and intensity, with some amazing guitar tones as an added bonus (especially on ATF/WP)

Being able to spell correctly is usually a prerequisite for calling yourself smart.

cant wait for season 8

[Talenca]

I just like their sound, even if it's not exactly constant. Also Chino is fuckin gr8.

[Freedomsoldier17]

personally i like them for their sound and their stunning ability to evolve over the years(something i dont see as much of in other bands i like). They have a share of alternative metal songs(a genre i like), and more experimentally stuff(something i grew to like as i continued to listen to them).

[mjakeli6]

because of their music, lyrics, chino's voice and sex-vibe..

I love their song Amniisty !!!! Best song ever

The song that you believe to be' Amnesty' is actually not a Deftones song.  It is actually a song called 'Breathe (Tiny Hands)' by a band called Relative Ash.  I was under the same impression when I first stumbled upon this tune years ago, but have since discovered it was not the Deftones.  Relative Ash, a Chicago-based group, only put out one album--and it's pretty clear who their primary influence was.  It's a pretty good album too...this guy (the singer, whoever he is) does a great job of recreating what Chino does with Deftones music.
