Well...how else are we supposed to take that? That's basically exactly what he's saying. The fuck else is Frank going to do? Play the cowbell? I'm sure Chino will downplay it or say he was taken out of context in future interviews. Hopefully he's just talking out of his ass.

And Chino, on the (admittedly microscopic) off chance that you're reading...awful, awful idea. Sorry, mate, but are you fucking serious? Frank has always added a whole new dimension to the band. And frankly (no pun intended), songs where he's downplayed (Doomed User, Gore, Beware, etc.) can really, really use him.

I guess that would make quite a few people on this board happy, maybe they'll finally write Adrenaline 2.0

Another new interview with Chino in Paper Magazine.
"Deftones' Chino Moreno On Performing In A Volcano And Growing The Band's Live Show."
by Iliana Kaplan (August 5, 2016)

I'm sure he doesn't want Frank out of the band, it's more like what he says. Every album they talk about expanding their sound, and he's saying it'd be interesting to do the opposite. It'd be interesting, but hell no. Frank's a member of the band, what if he'd said "We'll make an album but without drums"? I know it's not the same thing because Frank isn't needed to make songs, it's more that he adds to them. But even so, that's kind of a mean thing to say.

Anyway, I wish Frank was more prominent in their songs. His effects in Digital Bath are probably my favourite, it makes the atmosphere and mood of their music even more amplified. So I'm not sure what he's thinking except that it's just another aspect of wanting to experiment with something.

The interview talking about them playing Phantom Bride is cool. They have been playing more Gore songs, and hell, even played a SNW song for an opener, that's a big change for them (first time in like six years, possibly?), so I think if they have the time to rehearse and figure out a way for it to work, they will play it. Even if just for a few shows. Hell, hopefully the other songs not yet played will make an appearance too.

And Chino doing more stripped back vocals would be pretty exciting.

I feel like Doomed User is the perfect song for Frank to do his thing... Disappointed he's not doing anything on that track.. Really needs him. Frank adds so much to this band. Not down for a record without him..

Lol @ Sergio's face that entire interview

Also of note, Chino says he'd like to play in Deftones till he's 50. Hmm

That means seven more years of Deftones. 1988-2023. So, 2-3 more albums?

I bet he doesn't quit at 50 though, mostly because the touring money is probably too good.

I'm quite sure it's less about money and more about whether or not it's worth it. He loves music and loves making music, but trying to balance out family life and touring is probably a big factor. I mean, maybe when he hits 50 he'll decide he's still got the energy to keep going for another ten years.

Oh lord.. I think he meant that he hopes he gets to keep playing music until he feels he doesn't need to or want to any more. Nothing to do with being 50 exactly. He just said a number for the fuck of it.

Here's the bit on Deftones, quite a positive review on their set at Chicago's Riot Fest.

"Are you ready for the motherfucking Misfits?" Chino Moreno asked the raving crowd a few songs into the Deftones' mighty set at the Riot stage Sunday evening. The Sacramento band could hardly be called benchwarmers, though, ripping through a set of both old material, particularly from Around the Fur, and newer songs from Gore and Koi no Yokan. Moreno was relentless, bounding and leaping from end to end of the stage. Anchored by his bandmates — particularly, rock-solid guitarist Stephen Carpenter and bassist Sergio Vega — Moreno was free to scream straight into the crowd at one moment and stand atop an amp like a messiah the next. He paid tribute to both Glenn Danzig and Morrissey, acknowledging the oddness of that combination: "That might be corrupt and wrong, but those motherfuckers made me wanna sing. I love them both equally." In this writer's opinion, Deftones gave Misfits a solid run for their money, the students clearly outperforming the masters. –Karen Gwee
