Chino & Abe at 2nd annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards 2010

[E-Money]

God knows we've talked about his weight enough.....but he looks really healthy in these pics.  I personally think him getting in shape really helped with the new record.  He just sounds better to me...idk.  He had to loose 50-60 lbs.  Not too shabby.

I'm glad he is healthy once again because his fatness WAS AFFECTING HIS LIVE PERFORMANCE.

He was barely moving anymore on stage.

...and for some reason i can hardly take someone seriously when they look like Jaba The Hutt...

Fat people makes me laugh. I'm going to hell.

+1, including hell.

You should all try with to listen to boybands. They're all skinny and young and healthy. They move a lot too, and probably dance better than Chino.  


I never gave a shit about Chino's weight. He's getting older, he has the right to get chubbier, just like anyone else, he's not a fucking top model. Moreover, it could be he gained some weight using cortisone to ease a throat inflammed after months of touring. Thinking about how much he screams, it's probably what happened.

[Subliminal]

To be honest, I don't think Chino would give half the people the time of day on here. So disrespectful and rude.

I'm glad he's healthy also, why wouldn't I be? but Jesus, who gives a fuck if he was overweight. I saw them 4 times the last time they passed through and Chino was about the most energetic person I've seen on stage and this is no understatement, he didn't let it effect him. Clearly his so called fans were more effected by it, always the way 

Just waiting for the ''He should dye his hair blonde again'' comments now.

jesus Im getting sick of the people complaining to the people who are glad he lost weight. his voice in SNW... you could just hear him trying to sing through all his fat. he sounds so much better on DE.

Why would he be offended by that? He did good! He lost weight and put a great performance on disc! I say good for you Chino!

Because of this, for instance:

I wonder how fat can affect his voice. I think a lot of fans are happy about him being fit again because listening to ba band with a fatty frontman was... embarassing.

You don't know that being fat changes the tone of your voice?

[Vesanic]

For the last fucking time:


I didn't like the fact that Chino was fat because it was affecting his voice ! If you can't hear it in SNW, well, you're deaf. Since SNW, there are a LOT of things that he cannot pull off anymore. He lost his fucking basical skills.

Plus, it was affecting his live performances. He was jumping a little and then he was completely exhausted and didn't have enough stamina to pull off his vocals.


Otherwise, I wouldn't give a fuck. Stephen is a fat fuck and I still think he's the coolest guitarist in the world.

[anguria]

It's not proved. A lot of opera singers are more than chubby, and some critics think Maria Callas' voice got worse after her weight loss.
This is not Chino's case of course, but it seems to me you're just trying to convince yourself you wanted Chino slimmer for the sake of Deftones music and not because you don't like fat people.

How do you know it depends on his weight?

Because I am a singer, and I had the same exact problems when I got too chubby.

Dude, these are singers of CLASSIC MUSIC. Chino sings METAL. These people have followed a long and strict vocal education, whereas Chino learned his shit by himself and almost never took care of his voice.

This comparison is idiotic.

So fat MUST have the opposite effect!
