I fucking miss Chi, for real. Now that I see them playing without him I realize for real how great he is.

is it me or chino looks slim ?!.

I was gonna say the same... I hope he is in a better shape.

Chino is not fat dude, he's an older dude, he's right for his age, in fact,I know he looks fat on camera but in person he looks fine

[hi man]

chino's looking skinny and spiffy!

[E-Money]

The show was incredible as always.  It was sad not to see chi but its good to see that the tones are still doing their shit.  Chino looked great and sounded great. 

[micky]

maybe he has relapsed to speed...i hope not - I don't think he is touching that shit again.

[rock_n_frost]

2009 really rocks !!!!

You all fail so hard at reporting this show.

I'll write something up in a few minutes when I'm less busy and explain how this was by far the most intense/emotional Deftones show I've ever been to.

I've seen the Deftones a lot over the years.  I've seen em at their best and worst.  But I gotta say, they just set a new high in their career.  Their energy was insane.  They sounded great, looked amazing, and jived so well.  It definitely was a revitalization of sorts.   For those asking about chino's weight, he's been training routinely for the past few months, and it shows.  They didn't play anything new but that's ok, as it wasn't the setting.  They stuck with the classics, and they sounded like never before.  Sergio is definitely the man for the job.  It's so sad about Cheng, but the Deftones are making the most of the situation and we have to be supportive of their imperative to move forward. 

A friend of mine wrote this review of the show if you want more story-telling

Shit yeah, this energy is reminiscient of the Around the Fur days..glad to see everyone in good spirits.  Wish Chi was there to share this moment with them.  Also..song structure will be a little different since Chi isn't doing backing vocals..it's kinda weird.

shit, my bad

[defmark87]

Anybody get any good pictures??

[pixElsblUr]

that looks pretty good, hope that guy has more videos

[ValleyGirl]

Hate to be a downer but I've been a fan since 95 and no matter who they use as their bassist, it won't be anyone as special as Chi.  His stage presence is one of a kind and I know that some of you might get annoyed here...but that's the way I feel and that won't change.

I understand that the show must go on, but my heart still breaks for this whole bullshit situation.  It should be Chi up there on stage jammin!  The Tones would not be who and where they are without my man Chi!

He still battles every day for a return to the life he knew, so please lets not forget him. 

Remember him in your hearts and prayers.  Peace.

That's because SG's are the sexiest guitars.

[Starz]

Oh man I'm so looking forward to the Reading Festival show. Life changing shit no doubt.

[There Will Be Blood]

They sounded pretty good. Chino looks thinner. But lets not forget chi is still alive and we need to keep on remembering him.
