I must say. It's kinda shitty of them to mistake the lyrics of Deftones' Diamond Eyes for Shinedown's Diamond Eyes. I mean. Really?

[Penicks]

lmao

[Inkblades]

Lol journalists. It makes you wonder if the writer has even ever heard a Deftones song in his life. Seems more like Kerrang assigned him to make a top 20 Deftones songs article so he just googled the 20 most popular Deftones songs and called it a day.

White Pony was the cover/feature piece in this month's Metal Hammer.

Listened to that podcast earlier. I think that's the best long-form interview I've heard from any member of the band. Really interesting.

[kurtone]

Really great interview but man, spit that gum out Chino.

i agree. Chino really talked about a lot, and remembers way more than i thought. best interview from him maybe ever. at least the most in depth

most interviews from him he says the same basic stuff for the most part (maybe a new nugget here and there), not here, he really felt like talking about a lot of things this time. he really opened up

[Inkblades]

Yeah, that podcast interview was great - the info on him growing up and forming the band with Stephen was especially interesting.

Had the chance to be interviewed about DeftonesLive by Musically Meditated Podcast. Loved the experience, check it out on Spotify and Stitcher!

nice interview. listened to the whole thing. you think there's any way to find out their exact record sales? last list we saw in jan 2007. i don't understand why RIAA doesn't  make a website with exact sales numbers (not just is it gold or platinum). also has Gore ever been remixed? cause i really like the album, but man that mix is rough

Be cool if someone could upload the new Revolver Magazine feature on WP. Don't think I can get hold of it in the UK without paying a huge shipping fee.

Anyone got this? Particularly interested in them interviewing Maynard about WP.

[LG95]

Someone on the Tool subreddit copied up the Maynard references from the Revolver White Pony feature.

"'Great album, one of their best,' says Tool singer Maynard James Keenan, who duets with Moreno on moody standout track "Passenger," and played a brief but impactful role during some of the writing sessions."

...

"There was a new character in the room with them, as well: Maynard James Keenan. The Tool singer had been hanging out with Moreno, and he came to Mates [Rehearsal Studios] to socialize, while also weighing in on arrangements, riff structures, time signatures. "We had this idea that he was going to executive-produce," Moreno remembers. "It wasn't really clarified, but he was down to help us work on the record."

Cunningham mainly recalls Keenan coming around with bottles of champagne and Tibetan Singing Bowls -- instruments used by Buddhist monks in meditation practice, and as a path toward stress relief and emotional clarity, soothing your weary theta brain waves. The metal bowls are played by tapping or rubbing with a wooden mallet.

"I was told the guys were having a bit of writer's block or some turmoil within the band. Who knows? They certainly weren't going to discuss that with me, an almost total stranger," Keenan says now. He recalls the band as good company and "very strong-willed gents. Dare I say stubborn. ... Up to that point, they seemed to have been able to navigate through their differences in ideas and approaches. Great first efforts. The evidence is all there. I felt like they just needed a bit of new perspective."

"I had them each switch instruments, play on the bowls, take one loop and try some improvisation," Keenan adds. "The look on their faces was priceless. I might as well have been wearing hippie beads and bunny ears. I could just feel Stephen thinking, 'What kind of acid-trip crap is this?"

Moreno remembers Keenan contributing to a few songs-in-progress, particularly "Passenger." As that piece was coming together musically, Keenan was inspired to step behind the mic to improvise a vocal melody. But his incipient executive-producer role didn't stick and the singer got busy with another new act: A Perfect Circle. Keenan also felt his place as instigator/coach/counselor was mostly completed.

"I stuck around long enough for them to start itching to not have me around," he says. "Eventually, it was time for me to let them be. The result of my interruption was for them to unconsciously remember or feel what connected them in the first place. By the time I saw them again, they had opened their own creative floodgates."

...

One of the final tracks completed was "Passenger," partly because Moreno still heard echoes of Keenan's spontaneous vocal melody from the Mates [Rehearsal Studios] writing sessions. Moreno invited him back, and they both sketched out lyrics to wail amid the song's eerie swirl of sounds. [Terry] Date remembers the Tool singer coming by the studio several times. "I think he and Chino's brains work very much the same. Maynard likes to do his vocals after the music is recorded, and Chino's the same way," says the producer. Keenan recalls being content at the recording session "to assume the role that I've become accustomed to: Most pieces in place, now navigate the puzzle in front of you."
