Current Bassist = Future Bassist?

[deftones86]

I think at first after chi wakes up he will want to tour and get back to writing records just to return to some sort of normlacy thats what he has been doing for the majority of his life. But i dont know him so my opinion is just based on theory. but thats what i think and it will take a long time for him to recover like years but i look forward to seeing him on stage again.

[nineteenpeoplesnames]

I like how whoever made this thread could even picture deftones outselling white pony ever again. hahahahahahahaha. are u joking? you can rant all you want but White Pony went platinum because it was released when Nu-metal was still popular.

I dont like to think of deftones as numetal but i mean.. there not iron maiden style metal and they are heavy.. so yeaaa. Indie pop is trendy now .. as well as a ton of shitty studio produced garbage that people like to call RnB. (true RnB is ashamed). Deftones will never be as close to the spotlight as they were in 2000-2001.

This is the year of Nu-Metal's return. I'd say around late this year/early next year.

[Far away]

I dont think they'd replace Chi.

this

if Chi gets better (hopefullY) and still able to play, why they wouldnt take him back!?

[Cherry Waves]

I'm loving the Positive things people are saying...thats a good way to be, but its not Negative to be realistic is all we are saying.
Its not like we don't want him back in the band and all that, Chi is the Deftones, but come on....i got hit by a car and was in an out of rehab for 12 months with just a brokin leg, as soon as the Deftones realise that Chi may not join them again is the time they pull the plug, if he does fully recover soon then i am ecstatic!

[Far away]

i think they already considered this option when they decided to keep playing and when they asked sergio to step in for Chi.

I'm pretty sure the "deal" with Sergio is that he stays with them until Chi comes back. if Chi doesn't come back, he'll probably be a permanent member. if the band wanted to quit because of losing Chi as a member, they'd already have done it.

[defsteve]

Whatever Chi wants to do....

[pixElsblUr]

if the band wanted to quit because of losing Chi as a member, they'd already have done it.

true that, which reassures me the band still loves this shit because they enjoy playing the music

[Hidalgo]

i still love the story Stef told about Chi not knowing he was playing the 8 string for 3 months. ahh that's Chi, not paying attention. fans like us talked about the 8 string everday, and Chi gets around to asking Stef if he ever got the 8 string 3 months after he'd been recording in the same room with it everday. priceless. they had to have laughed at him

yes, although.....
i think chi being in a sort of limbo affects them differently than if he had died.....and might have had to do with their decision to go forward.
that being said, with this album and tour they may be reinvigorated "permanantly", and whether chi recovers but is unable to play or god forbid...passes away....they might have the new found strength to keep going. actually i feel this is most likely.
i think that if he or one of the others had straight up died we would be viewing a totally different situation, and maybe they would just have "quit".
also, cherrywaves took the words out of my mouth as far as, "it's not negative to be realistic", although i do believe there's a strong possibility that we see Chi's return, and don't plan to give up hope until i see proof otherwise, but again, i just wish the guy well in general, regardless of his abiliy to rejoin his brothers.

and yeah.....wtf happened that night of the accident? it's always bugged me too......car accident, chi in coma......oookaaayy, AND?

[TheShade1989]

Yeah, I agree with what a lotta ppl are saying about it not being negative to be realistic. I mean, it was a serious accident, and it takes a long time to recover frm even if he will be able to do things normally again, it could be quite a while. If he does get to that stage, and Deftones are still making music, and he wants to continue with it, I'm sure there'd be no reluctance at all. It must be horrible for bands wen something like that happens...there are so many things to think about and consider.

[sing blue silver]

either way they'll probably never stop. chi would probably want that.

by the way lets hope this isn't the "year of nu metals return". nu metal is fucking garbage. i used to love it. korn was my favorite band for years, then i got some taste. deftones are the only band of that time to remain relevant and come off as actually talented and they're not even fucking nu metal. nu metal is dead and should be left that way. but yeah...

we all hope for chi's return but if sergio is here to stay, i say give er'. (yes i'm canadian)

[ToneDef]

It's all good! Just wanted to start a cripple fight.

Deft_16_Ones, I'm really happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but that was one of the best ownages of all time ! Of all time !!




( FUCK 4000TH POST I'M A LEADER OF IT ALL BITCHES !!! )

Man, you blew it. Why did you do that? Your post was funny, but the original post wasn't even slightly good enough to warrant such a reply. Shame on you, Vesanic. Shame on you.

[Vesanic]

I was drunk. And then, stupid. But I admit that I'm stupid without being drunk. But in that case, I was at the max. Plus, I laugh at my own jokes so it's okay.

[pixElsblUr]

tisk tisk

[skinnypuppy]

I suppose it's selfish of me to think the band should stop being a band without Chi. I mean, you can't end a 20 year career over a misfortune accident, I guess.

[No More Sugar]

very good possibility

[nineteenpeoplesnames]

I actually like Nu-Metal. It had some groove n stuff and was interesting. It totally gets too much crap...

Own opinion though for sure.

As far as what happens with the bassist thing, I guess the only thing we can hope for is Chi to get better and The Deftones carrying on doing what they do.

[defTHE1s]

OMG.. you people, are even saying Deftones will finish their career... wtf is wrong with your "realistic positiveness"...

let's hope Chi the man could get up of the bed and time will say if he'll be able to play again, if Deftones will release Eros or if they will quit.
