[Penicks]

[stunt-r]

Yeah, he actually functions as a musician now. It's awesome.

Not what I was referring to, ass hat.

If you're trying to say he functions now, what about the other 21 years of making music? He has been pretty successful to be dysfunctional...

I was referring to his way of thinking now. I love deftones, and I'm usually into any projects or collabs that Chino has been a part of...but he's into some weird shit now.

It's no mystery that the vast majority of musicians are not religious, and sing about their disbelief in it. But his new tattoo, this new project, some of the newer art work...just some bizarre shit. When Chi was around there was a completely different side of Chino I feel.

Me personally, I have always been religious and have chosen not to mix my music taste and religion together...I'm just gonna do myself a big favor and NOT look any further into the meaning of the project "crosses" or any of the lyrics...just enjoy the sound. Hard to not see something deeper though when there is 3 crosses stuck on the screen in a row, and weird people in masks doing strange shit...

That's just my $.02.

Just a video, just a band name.

He wasn't very functional in the past.. have you not seen the rift in the band since White Pony?

Does it matter if chino is religious? no, it doesn't affect his music at all. Just because the band is called Crosses, doesn't mean it's got anything to do with religion.


Also

Since the first time since May, Chino has tweeted

Just the link to the video.. something's coming soon...

Ok, a lot of thoughts.

The guitar intro is definitely Team Sleep-esque, but when Chino comes on, it's pure Deftones. I really dig the siren sci-fi synths buried underneath the guitars. The organ at the end was nice too. I could be wrong, but the part with Chino is probably the chorus portion of the song. As for his voice, I think he sounds good. Cool melodies too.

At this point, I'm wondering if we're going to get a full-length album or an EP. I'm under the impression that they have A LOT of material. I stumbled across the Crosses last.fm (different from the THHOLYGHST one I posted earlier in the thread). Here's the songs listed:

California Time Machine
gOth bb
Mist Mix 1
†††
Bitches Brew Verse & Bridge VOX
Melody Club - Fever Fever
Birds Of Fire MIX 2
Road Song Vocal MIX 2
Lace Instrumental MIX 1
The Mutiny FULL MIX 1
Carameldansen
Option T Mix 1
This is a Trick

As you can see, a lot of these songs haven't been posted as clips (unless they have been renamed). There's even more on the THHOLYGHST last.fm. Some of them:

Stevie Nicks
OCT 1ST 1987
Night Passage
Under The Sun
The Epilogue
Will Vox

Who knows what are just rough ideas and what are full songs, but either way, these dudes have been busy.

As for the religious overtones of Crosses, music is all about expression. If someone wants to express spirituality through their music, all the more power to them. If they want to satirize religion or bash it, that's also acceptable.

[There Will Be Blood]

I cant fucking wait!

[E-Money]

I could be completely wrong but I don't think there will be a huge religious vibe to it.  I'm expecting a much more love/ emotional feel to the songs...  at least thats what i've gotten so far.  

[iceache]

That scream at the end of the teaser was fucking insane.

[Corleone]

Not going to listen till the release, cool that it's soon.

I dunno. A lot of Chino's style has always been a kind of left-field and avant garde. His lyrics have always had the weird, cryptic elements (Korea, anyone?). Go check the Team Sleep Myspace. They have been putting bizarre (but also very cool) pictures on there since '05.

[Menos el Oso]

I wonder if Chino will perform some of his Crosses material live, later on in the future.

proof?

Also, who's the drummer for Crosses I wonder?

Lets figure out the lyrics in the teaser.

This is what I have so far, im not 100% on some of it

We'll drink from the waves
and feel our soul
we'll fall asleep on the graves(not 100% that he says graves)
and seal our soul
can't choke on the waves
reveal our souls
we'd fall asleep at the graves
and seal our soul

[There Will Be Blood]

I think he says Grass.... lol
