we're atached to a real emotion, he should be more sympathetic about the people who cares and pay his bills.

Yeah but he doesn't need to be sympathetic when people overreact to comments he's made. When people start jumping to unnecessary conclusions or start taking sides Chino v Stephen then it's a bit over the top.

yes, but i insist, some people are attached to a sort of real emotion then maybe they overreact in a strange way, so it's not just a little thing.

(obviously there's another dumb fuck people who tries to troll and just fail, but that's another tale).

hahahaha i know for a fact that some of the people here on SL don't even own one single copy of their albums nor go to their shows but they're the most that bitch and moan all the time.

[ANattyRat]

Everyone can calm down now.

To be fair, he did give the interview and he did say those things. It's not like it was on a gossip site about how 'a source revealed that Steph is unhappy with the new album', you know? It was an interview, and so the things he said worried people because people love this band. But I'm glad he cleared things up.

[DeftonesNZ]

I agree with him though, as soon as I saw the first interview I said nothing new here, I think his point is that they've talked about the tension  in interviews for years now and done things like the songwriting battles video where he explained the dynamic, from his perspective it's frustrating people make drama over it when they have the internet and access to a bunch of resources where the band themselves have explained how the tension between him and Chino works but somehow people seem to be quicker to make dramatic assumptions now than before the internet when they didn't know anything.

Interview with Chino from the german magazin Fuze.
Too lazy to translate it but to sum it up:

• their creative process is based on Stef and his differences, otherwise Gore would be his solo record
• back in the day they literally used to fight about songs, now they talk it out and see what's best for the song
• compared to Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan they took their time with Gore
• Chino learns from his side projects

What is the part about SNW, please?

[N0S3BLEED976]

What is the part about SNW, please?

The interviewer asks if Chino was on the verge of leaving the band during the SNW writing process. He said it's been the worst period of their career and there was almost no communication between the band members at the time. Basically he needed a break and focused on Team Sleep for a while.

tldr; nothing we don't already know

[sharinglungs]

New Kerrang on Wednesday.. hopefully someone grabs it and scans it

[N0S3BLEED976]

God, I hate these flashy, obnoxious magazines like Kerrang

[kurtone]

This probably makes me sound like an asshole but I really wish magazines/interviews would stop using the whole Chi accident/passing away angle.

Deftones Rock SXSW, Bring Out Bushwick Bill as Special Guest: Review

An unexpected guest verse from the rapper and some throwback songs made for a memorable set

By Friday afternoon at SXSW 2016, the wear and tear of a few nights well partied wore on the faces of most attendees. It was humid and hot, but that didn't stop hundreds from lining up for Deftones at SPIN Magazine's annual Austin bash at the famed Stubb's downtown.

Half an hour prior to their set, Vince Staples rocked through his own—he was great, but managed to make an aside of "I feel like I'm at a slave auction," remarking on the audience's unenthusiastic demeanor. That negativity dispersed the moment Chino Moreno and crew hit the stage, launching into a career-spanning set.

The Stubb's gig was the band's first set at SXSW, and came ahead of their upcoming album, Gore, which is their first full-length in four years. It hasn't been too long of a wait, but considering the group's consistency, it's enough to make everyone feel anxious with anticipation. In a live setting, that translated to a packed afternoon set, with fans and unfamiliar folk alike beaming with excitement.

A few songs into their set, Geto Boys rapper Bushwick Bill joined the California alt-metal icons. It began with a simple "When I say 'Def,' you say 'Tones,'" chant, later unraveling into a surprise guest verse. Perhaps most endearing was that all of this took place while Deftones played "Digital Bath" from 2000's White Pony. When they say certain things can only happen at SXSW, they mean it.

The entire set comprised of songs both new and old, each with the same level of response from the crowd. When you've been a band as long as Deftones have, you have a lot of material to parse through...it's interesting to see who screams the loudest for what albums. It appeared the diehard fans most enjoyed the White Pony throwbacks, whereas early 20-somethings were in it for the Saturday Night Wrist references.

"Doomed User," the latest Gore track, too, was met with much applause. The band's energy mirrored this—Moreno climbed into the crowd and jumped high on the stage, as everyone else threw their instruments around like they were one of the many young punk bands playing the festival. For them, and for that performance, it was a welcome respite of rock 'n' roll. In Texas, things are bigger...and at this Deftones performance, they were heavier.

"Doomed User," the latest Gore track, too, was met with much applause." - I thought they didn't play that? It's not on that setlist pic at least, and I haven't seen any clips of it online yet.

'The band that changed rock' wow... you guys agree on that?

[Inkblades]

Lol...it's pretty hyperbolic. However, they are my favorite band of all time and are also perpetually underrated by pretty much everyone, so I don't mind them getting their asses kissed on the cover of a major publication.

[ANattyRat]

Well, they changed nu-metal or helped redefine it. The entirety of rock though? Nah.

[LG95]

I'd say they're pretty influential for a lot of bands but I wouldn't say their impact has 'changed rock music'.

[Reichward]

It's just marketing, don't think too much of it. I bet there are many bands who "changed rock" when it comes to Kerrang's magazine covers.
