When ever i introduce varies people into Deftones I've noticed they always give Be Quiet the thumbs up.

i tried change, it didn't work

first thing to do, ask the n00b if he's a sepultura/tool/soad/giant drag/incubus fan, if they say yea then ask them to give headup/passenger/mein/pink cellphone/bqad-acoustic a listen. people tend to listen and pay attention to stuff that's a little familiar.

then go for the covers, if the n00b is a sade/duran duran/weezer/whatever fan, make the lowlife listen to no ordinary love/the chauffeur/say it ain't so/whatever. these are really really good covers, i'm sure the n00b will be n00b no more in a while.

if none of the above work and you're talking to a supern00b who's been living under a rock for 20 years, ask them to listen to 7 words/engine no 9 (for the metalheads), bqad/change (for girly girls), anniversary of an uninteresting event/teenager (for patient girly girls) pink cellphone/lucky you (for techno people) street carp (for teh punkz)

easy peasy

LOL! Sounds like a conversation I've had before...

'Oh I like that Change song'

The good thing about Deftones is that they have so many diverse moods/types of song you can recommend one to a friend whoi's into say metal like Elite or WGTB - or if you've got a more mainstream-rock friend you can recommend stuff like Minerva.

to be honest i find deftones a hard sell and can't be arsed to listen to people cussing them so I don't even bother, unless i've got a girl on the go, i'll inevitably end up putting deftones on in my room with her at some point. I just think deftones are an aquired taste and they aren't a band you can just shove down peoples throats and expect them to like them.

i know this never was ever considered to be a song just a demo or what have you. but on the bob ezrin demos i belive its after mein, or so it is on my ipod. that song, the music in itself is fuckin off the chain and it grooves . i cant put into words how this song sounds or makes me feel when i listen to it. but i seriously thought of many ways they could have wrote it with lyrics and maybe some sick ass samples composed into it and i duno if its just me but that song should deffinatly make it on an album as should finger of death  in the future. seriously who agrees.

wheresmysnare

i prefer finger of death to most of SNW, just because it's quite a rare guitar riff and the drumming gets real good towards the end. i dont know what the other demo you're talking about is tho

my first def songs were bored and my own summer

for a friend of mine it was change
