did they say anything at all about crest? deluxe version? b-side? i-tunes bonus? what about the diamond eyes outtake? B-side rarities II?

Thank you for posting this interview!

I'll see whether I can buy a copy, though. I want those pics, haha.

That was an awesome read, further clarification on Stef's comments, and it's cool how Hearts/Wires ended up being one of the songs he likes the most. I guess he makes a good point about how they make music for themselves. We might love, hate or somewhere in-between their albums, but if the music they're making is what they're all happy playing, that's probably the reason for the longevity of the band.

S/T had songwriters? wait wut

The label put Chino with a few songwriters at some point in the process of making Saturday Night Wrist, not the S/T. He's definitely mentioned it before.

its really frustrating to still read all of the negativity that S/T and SNW gets from Chino... while i do understand they're not your favorites  they're still part of the catalog and maybe they're the reason that some fans got into deftones in the first place. while i do understand the whole dark days thingy he must at least consider to play more songs out of those two albums it's long overdue.

I said it before, Chino is not telling you off for liking S/T and SNW. He probably knows it has tons of good songs. But music is one of the strongest ways to relive prior periods in your life, now imagine that multiplied by a thousand if you were the one actually making that music instead of listening to a record. He probably has constant flashbacks of his divorce, his drug use and tensions within the band when listening to those records. It's very hard to revisit music that remind you of a bad place in your life, I think we can all relate to that.

Nice interview.  Good shit.  Love this little line... "Deftones won the battle - they've enjoyed sustained critical and commercial success far longer than any other band of their g-g-generation".

Cool to see ABE is the "collector" of the band, haha.
Thanks for sharing, amazing!

He called Anniversary Of An Uninteresting Event "probably his favourite Deftones song" and said he is proud of their self-titled album. Not good enough?

You know how people talk about they can't listen to certain songs after a break-up because it makes them sad and miss that person? Imagine that, except...way bigger problems than just a break-up, and you actually created the songs. That's a very strong attachment to negative feelings, and I can understand them not reliving it more than they have to. Of course, a few songs from Saturday Night Wrist would be awesome, and certainly some less-commonly played songs from the self-titled album would be great, but I guess it's difficult for them.

I think it's funny, because Chino says Saturday Night Wrist is the one he thinks is horrible because those times were dark, but the songs don't really seem like it, you know? Whereas the self-titled album, that's a very dark album, the entire mood, even the way his vocals sound. So it's funny how he's proud of the self-titled album despite what was going on at the time, but Saturday Night Wrist is the one that's the hardest for him to revisit. Then again, Bloody Cape isn't quite as dark, and therefore hard to revisit perhaps, as Battle-Axe, I suppose.

I think SNW is a dark/spooky sounding album.  I've always had sort of a dark/depressed feeling about it but I really love it.  Albums are seasonal to me and I love listening to this one in the fall.  It kind of fits with Halloween, the trees losing their leaves, and the crips, cool air.
