it cant be. i pay about $32/month and get 120kb/sec

You pay $32/month for dialup ? WTF! 

[aj]

awesome video.

Makes me wonder now whether this Rocket Skates video is gonna be like the Street Carp one i.e. vid made for it, but not an official single with a CD press etc, whereas Diamond Eyes will be the first proper single, like Change was?

Who knows. I just know i'm fucking excited that all this material keeps surfacing left right and centre.

I mean, in the last 2 days, we've had RS video, Diamond Eyes teaser and a song by song description.

Sick as fuck

120kb/sec is the download speed.. i dont know maybe thats a dialup connection? im not really understand with those things

[nineteenpeoplesnames]

I really don't see why the video is analysed so much. It's awesome from what I can see.

dude, u understand that this s in fact a music video? plus, im sure that when they are doing this they are making it as authentic as possible, im sure he really was screaming during the shoot

Look at him on Hexagram, THAT'S some intense shit. And they weren't even performing either, from what I've heard.

I guess you heard wrong then because I'm pretty sure they actually played a few different songs while there, including Hexagram.  

I might be wrong, and I would admit it without any problem. But I remember that some guy talked to me about the shot of the video, that he was there among the fans, the shot happened on may 2003 and he told me that it was all playback. But hey, I wasn't there, I'm not sure at all.

video shoot was on aug. 8, 2003 in simi valley, ca. i just remember from reviews back then, that they performed the song several times live.

No.. Vesanic is right, I was there. It was all playback. They didn't play any other songs either. I was actually the first one there at 10:30 the night before with some friends. I drove up there from Phoenix AZ and the directors assistant actually interviewed me on camera since I was first there and drove so far... I wish I could get that footage ha... I did get pics with Stef and Shavo from SOAD while I was there though... I took a shitload of pics also during the shoot.

oki. so i'd better have a further look at the making of vid. long time ago .....

[Hidalgo]

i wonder if they'll make a video for diamond eyes, since it's the single. i guess they're not going to

[Felipe]

I like the video, and the song more and more

[Far away]

This is going to seem very strange, but...

Every time I watch the Rocket Skates vid, at exactly 4:09, I see Chi. 

I know it's a blurred image of Chino, but every time I see it, my brain immediately registers it as Chi.

I can't explain it. 

Call Ghost Hunters!!

Seriously, though.  I see him.  Anyone else see him?

Deftones - Rocket Skates (Official Video)

I've heard others mention it but personally don't see it.

[sing blue silver]

[Hidalgo]

we know

One thing I really like about this video is that ever since Around The Fur Chino wanted to make a video that had some sex in it. If you've seen a live Team Sleep show or gone to one of the Deftones shows with the giant light panel they play clips from exploitation films like Roxanne

Someone even used it to make a youtube video for u,u,d,d,l,r,l,r,a,b,select,start
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqelt6AjR84[/youtube]

And yeah, for White Pony I remember reading an interview with Chino where he said he took out a video camera to after-hours parties and strip-clubs to put on the CD ROM extras, only the label didn't like it so all there ended up on there was shit like Chino walking down a sidewalk or something.

So if you've seen Roxanne or watch the youtube link, it gets pretty kinky and the chick in the movie starts cutting herself.
There was this epic Team Sleep show where the intro song "Scarf Bitch" had a projector behind them playing an old 70s exploitation film with a closeup of a girl having an orgasm.

When I watch Rocket Skates, I can't help but get the impression that the label made them cut out like some S&M or some intense kinky shit cause it's weird that the plot just goes

- escort waiting for chino
- chino meeting escort
- escort getting ready with a razorblade
- chino holding a gun
-
-
- poorly shot footage of chino and escort on some hill looking at the camera


I wish Deftones had the creative freedom over their videos as some other bands like Pantera and their explicit Home Videos that were full of drunken mayhem, tits, and weed. I'll bet if they were more supported to do whatever they want, Deftones videos would be a hell of a lot sexier.

I am guessing you have seen white pony ep. If not, that is the video they would make if "allowed".
