have the Deftones (finally) sold out?

[BLUMPKIN]

the only time deftones flirted with selling out is with back to school, which to me seemed like an attempt to cater to the same 13-17 year olds who were buying up all the shit bizkit and papa roach cd's at the time. 

the only way a band can truly sell out is to compromise their musical values in order to reach a wider audience and ultimately become richer for doing so

deftones are very content with the level of fame and success they have reached and are only making music for themselves and the fans at this point in their career, there are no ulterior motives

Even if Deftones released an album of spoon tapping...i'd still buy it.

Same as Metallica...doesn't matter how water-thin they go...I'd still get it

[Black Elvis]

The Deftones will only be sold out to me when they bring out a Deftones branded Codpiece.

And even then i'd actually think about buying a Codpiece.

You never know.

the Deftones sold out when you first heard them.

Deftones haven't sold out. They change their style because they want to, not because other people tell them to.  Speaking of change, has anyone heard the new Korn song? I really don't like it.

...I think you are being kind (about the Korn song)...

they got pretty big in 2000, but it was far from selling out, because they made a record oposite of what was cool then(LB, papa roach, korn, etc), & i think people knew it was a breath of fresh air

yeah, the WP era was their most popular. and speaking about selling out: many ppl worried about the s/t cd when it came out because their music changed too much and didnt sound like the previous album...., but that is in fact the best example that they just didnt WANT to get popular and make music like everyone wants them to make it. they felt like trying something new (like always) and threw out hexagram as a single with lots of fans in the video, the sinlge wasnt successfull, but who gave a fuck?
u know what i mean. some people cry about the deftones not making a popular album that they like from the first listening on instead of letting the music grow on them, other people think that the deftones try to make popular music and the band "sold out".

all the deftones do is music. they do whatever they want to do. they had their chance to get a big mainstream nu-metal band that makes music for 13 year old girls and releases an mtv-unplugged album some years later, but they chose their way as true musicians who make music for the fans instead of making the big money.

thats why they get my respect. they kept it real.

i love back to school.  i don't care what anybody says.  its one of my 4 ringtones.

anyway, i dont care if they "sell out" or have "sold out."  when they stop making music i like, ill stop listening to the shit they come out with.  but i doubt that'll happen.

Hell.. I don't think it would have to be done forcefully for "some people" to suck it.   (ie... Me and Shaye)

Deftones started to sell out in '94 when they were sponsered by Adidas!!! However, they stay true to their word so they will never become the offical sell out... IHMO
