Don't turn this forum into a typical YouTube comments section!!

Great cover indeed.

maybe now with sergio vega in the band, more black people will get into a rock band like deftones?

as for the cover,If a female singer/songwriter with an acoustic guitar strip down a fast hardcore song screamed by a male loud mouth,to me that's something interesting.Or the other way around. It can be hard to make it sound good, a lot of times it can sound like shit, but to hear something new and different, another interpretation of the song,something like that is what i think a cover should be all about.... -i can see a reason and a purpose for doing it in the first place. But to carbon copy something,frankly I can't even see why

we are all humans.  There is no "they" or "them" unless u think white superior.  Its that language that offends my mind after watching friends of mine get bullied all thru school and after.  i'm white but after watching it all it offends me.  plus i got 3 quarter zimbabwean children.  Maybe i over react but its how i feel.
end this talk now anyway cuz it aint about what you are its about who you are and we are all supposed to be DEFTONES fans.  n the fact is, personally i got a lot of black friends even in this predominantly white town and we all love metal, even the few who are practically gangsta style rappers ask me for new tips.

Damn good cover, finally got my speakers to work after the attack of the offspring.  Who needs a wrecking ball when u have kids hey.
Ah some herb too, 4 dayz is too long sober, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, and relax.

damn, i actually agree with something you've said there. haha first time for everything i guess.
I fully agree that covers should be a new interpretation, its kinda pointless for the original version to exist if you just copy n paste.
I think as long as you really are into the song and you feel youve got a new way of performing it then its as important as the original.  Thats why the tones covers are always so good.  they are obviously the songs they r covering but with their sound always added in a respectful and unique way.

unlike one which really pisses me off which is that florence and the machine cover of 'you got the love'.  Thats a typical example of trying to carbon copy an original but not being as good and ruining key parts of the songs flow.  (she totally flattened out the impact lyrics and sounds uniterested)  That to me prooves she doesnt care about the song and just knew it would sell like hot cakes to the british market while she rips off bjork style outfits turned into hooker looking rags.  The real piss take it that she ripped off the Massive Attack version which in itself is a cover totally different to the original song.  They even credit her as writing it on tv programmes and music channels.  Thank fuck that deftones do things their way without raping the songs they love.

i'm not trying to be PC, everyone is too sensitive now days. i stand by my statement, it's really a fact. just wish a greater percentage would get into rock and metal, that's all

omg!!! fucking beautiful! I believe its even better than the original!!!

Deadradio

This is an awesome cover. I wonder what other songs they are able to cover!

from_musings

everyone thinks it's great, but no one really explains says why it's a good cover. besides that he sings well (something chino also does) what else do the bad rabbits
add to the song? do they bring something new to it? someday i would like to know :)

i agree, they're a rock band but often pick a pop song and paint it with deftones colors.which means something new is born.Can't say that something new is born in the bad rabbits cover.Deftones don't try to sound like the band they cover, they run the song through their hearts and make something new and special in a deftones way.
That's why I can't say this is great cover just because it sounds great

agreed. although it stays true to the original, bad rabbits brings a soulful touch to the song

before you go off lets not forget Deftones cover of Drive Like Jehu, or there cover of Sinatra by Helmet. There both equally similar to the originals as this cover of sextape is
Dingus.

on a side note: this dude has some sick pipes I wish chino could sing that effortless.

Thanks,now we're getting somewhere  :) i haven't heard but will listen again.

edit- after a new listen: whatever small adjustments they added, I don't consider it enough reason to be recorded again.
