With the band carrying so much momentum, can you see yourselves hitting the studio again when the tour's up to capitalize on the current rejuvenation of the Deftones?

Right now, the only UK tour date is at the Download festival. Any plans to tour the UK properly anytime soon?

What's your favorite song from Diamond Eyes?

With Diamond Eyes being leaked so early, and what with the current trend of music being downloaded, do you think the industry was healthier when you guys started out, or are you fans of music being so freely available?

As consumers, would have downloaded Diamond Eyes?

Is the final album very different to the leak that has circulated?

Were there any inspirations for Diamond Eyes?

Which track has the most meaning to you?

Any interesting stories behind the songs or while recording?

Great guys, I collected these so far, put some together:

ALBUM LEAK ETC:
- The album got leaked in March already (Like with White Pony which also got leaked very early). What are your thoughts on the leak?.
- With Diamond Eyes being leaked so early, and what with the current trend of music being downloaded, do you think the industry was healthier when you guys started out, or are you fans of music being so freely available?
- Is the final album very different to the leak that has circulated?
- As consumers, would you have downloaded Diamond Eyes?

DIAMOND EYES
- How was it to work with Rick Raskulinecz instead of Terry Date?
- Which track has the most meaning to you?
- Any interesting stories behind the songs or while recording?
- Who wanted M-83 to remix Rocket Skates for the bonus itunes track of Diamond Eyes? And why?
- Were there any inspirations for Diamond Eyes?
- What do you think of owls? (Just kidding)
- Are there any plans on releasing another song as a single besides rocket skates and diamond eyes?

EROS / CHI:
- Ask if any of the songs from Eros were re-worked for Diamond Eyes or is it all just music they wrote after Chi's accident.
- Is Eros really finished? Like totally? Or did you stop any activity in on the album since Chi's accident?
- With the band carrying so much momentum, can you see yourselves hitting the studio again when the tour's up to capitalize on the current rejuvenation of the Deftones?

TOUR:
- What are touring plans? First Europe, then? Right now, the only UK tour date is at the Download festival. Any plans to tour the UK properly anytime soon?
- Will you be playing a lot of new tracks off of Diamond Eyes for your upcoming tour?
- Is it possible you guys will tour with Far again like in the early days?

FINAL:



BAD USELESS (FOR THIS INTERVIEW) QUESTIONS:
- What is the state of team sleep (Chino) !?
- If Diamond Eyes(album) is a love story gone wrong
- Ask what happened to "Nylons and Suspenders", if it got renamed or it's not on the record.
- B-sides for Diamond Eyes (Original or Cover songs) and when we're gonna hear those songs.
- Where they got the song titles from.

There Will Be Blood

What was the reason of Chino's weight lost? are you back on drugs? or did you start taking better care of your self after the Chi accident?

might be a bit intrusive.

i think you have the bases covered here. squeeze them for some eros info. i think it's the mystery around the project that has me interested. also get some info on canadian dates if possible. looking forward to get some answers for fan questions and not press questions.

Moz

Can I ask which Dutch magazine?

Dunno if this question was already mentioned, but I want them to tell how it felt to record the music in the same space again instead of using tools. Did they feel it was a benefit for the music and do they think the record sounds so cohersive because of this?

cEvin Key

Also ask them if M83 has collaborated in any track from the record.

- A couple of months ago during the writing secessions for Diamond Eyes it was posted on the Deftones twitter some pics of the band in the studio with Anthony Gonzalez.Did he participated in any track that is on Diamond Eyes or on any B-sides?(if he did participate on a b-side will we get to ear that song)?
- How did that collaboration came up?We know that Chino is a fan of M83 and that you guys played a song of his on the opening for your shows?was this an idea from chino?have you guys met him before coming up with this collaboration?

beaverwithfishyshoes

why were you so fat over the years, and how did you loose it (and how much)? thank you

RoyalDeftonicBoy

When can we expect a live DVD with the new stuff and classics and also old school footage?

Any B-sides songs off Diamond eyes?

If the sales and touring goes pretty great will Eros be released by beginning of 2011?

chino needs to make a weight loss dvd for all the fatties that want to burn through their fat in a cool way

"hello boys in girls, this is how you lose your love handles in three months"

*snorts some coke*

"there, now wait for the results. profit!"
