Republicans like to get high as much as Democrats. They just prefer Upper Class quality versus Middle Class...

I thought it was an Obama shirt too... but after a closer look it said Tobama and i said "Oh, Tosin Abasi!"... the guy is an 8-Strings guitar god, maybe he inspired Stef to use tapping on the new record... who knows.

Stef knows....

[Jerry_Curls]

I love that last sentence. I always prefer other members' interviews over Chino's. I definitely agree with his statement that every record they've put out doesn't sound like the last but still has their touch. TOUCHE STEF!

so good..
i thought that too, but i was mighty high... so it is true! good catch man...   didn't know there were AAL fans floating about here

[TheShade1989]

Animals As Leaders: the only instrumental band I like. Cool that he was partly inspired by watching him, he's amazing so presumably, Dazzle (what's its real name?) will sound a lot different? Could be one of the most unique-sounding Deftones songs...maybe.

could end up being their most technically difficult song to play as well. i'm gonna assume if Stephen fingertaps the whole song, that Chino plays the ryhthm riffs. i doubt it's Stephen alone just fingertapping, but it's possible. he didn't say Chino plays in the song, but didn't say Chino wasn't on guitar in the song either. yea this one is very interesting because the MASSVE SUPRISE of finger tapping. it's the song i'm looking forward to the most so far

i just hope he uses 2 finger tapping with pull off's and slides

[lungdamage]

tosin abasi steps on the throat of tapping (like guthrie).
hope stef uses sweet note-slides & pull-offs...
i reckon this sounds rhythm heavy (bass + drums)
only know when it comes out though

You are missing a lot of good stuff, imo!

I know, but lyrics/singing are just as important to me as the rest of the music, so wen it's missing, it's hard for me to not get bored of it quickly

Chino once posted a song by an instrumental band called Three Trapped Tigers on his Twitter, it was the song 'Noise Trade' and it was pretty awesome...

Sometimes you don't need to say anything. Music can move you just with sound. I say you haven't heard the right stuff yet.

Three Trapped Tigers are awesome. Chino has good tastes.

That's the layout they had before they released Diamond Eyes. So no, probably shouldn't be able to access it.
