Tell me people.

Me, for starters haven't listened to deftones in a about 4 years.. daily.. like I used to. I listen to better music than them (IMO)

Since..  They (deftones did SNW) but, that wasn't the only reason why I "left them 'tones".. It was because.. There's much better music in the world, you all must have regocnized that.

Deftones is my favourite band, but it isn't my favourite music.

All the other music I listen to I eventually get tired of. Deftones are the only ones that I still wanna listen to after 8 yrs.

I haven't listened to them in a long time. I got burnt out. I like em but dont love em.

Jerry_Curls

I still love them. They're perfect for me. They're heavy, soft,  melodic, different from other bands, always doing new things, just perfect.

My best friend and Ican always listen to them in the car and it gets us pumped. Haha.
..Yeah don't go there,

I let you get to me

yeah yeah.

Because they're the only band I really, really like. Because I love the way their music sounds.

i think a lot of it has to do with chinos vocals,his style of singing kicks ass.if deftones do a cover it will automatically get good cause of chino but if an other band do covers of deftones songs it will surley be bad. frankly speaking i think a band like tool got more talent and are better musicians but i will always love deftones more cause of their style in music. undrar vad ljudbild heter på engelska

Still love 'em. Whether other music is 'better' or not is a redundant question in my opinion. Music is music, you either like it, or you don't.

wow that almost makes sense.. haha, I was drunk out of my mind making this thread.

I do listen to deftones sometimes and I don't hate them or anything.

Variable

I listen to them because I crave musical hugs.

funny thread

I know they're not such a great and perfect technical band, and there are thousands of better bands than them, who make them sound so simple... But I don't know, it's something like... Soul. Probably they're not as good as they were before (I don't know) but to me, they will always be doing awesome music. They're the first and only band which I really became a fan of, and they opened my eyes to other great music, a music I didn't know before I met them.

:'(

HAHA

well at least they still got talent to write really good songs..althought not all of them are hard hittin, the majority of them are..i will agree that there are good bands out there but deftones is one of the old bands(from late 80s-early 90s) to still be around and writing goood music rather than some bands just losin their touch( ability to write good songs).

Yeah, that's a one thing they do have, they still don't suck after all these years. There aren't many others.. Slayer did one of their best albums 20 years after "reign in blood".. Depeche Mode still has it.. But, not many others.

me like nsync and backstreetboys.

Uh, like who? Just curious.
Please enlighten me, Deftones is the only band that has staying power for me, I still listen to all of their albums.  If there is such better music out there I'd like to know who.
