Anyone hear Chino's interview with Zane Lowe yesterday? I don't have Apple Music so I don't think I can listen to it.

Anyone hear Chino's interview with Zane Lowe yesterday? I don't have Apple Music so I don't think I can listen to it.

Around the Fur is his favorite album, which he's said before. He admitted they don't rehearse like they should for tours. Said Stephen says they need to practice more.  Funny story about Stephen pre-covid, he wanted to not put out a new record or tour and just have the band learn all the back catalog and rent a studio and play every week and film it.

Good idea. Easy to forget that even pre-COVID they'd only played a handful of shows in 2018 and 2019. They're probably WAY out of practice.

A really cool interview with Chino in time for my favorite season of year, Halloween. Starts @ ~16:30 on the podcast. He talks about his favorite horror films, working on a score for Blumhouse and Hulu's "Into The Dark", NEW CROSSES!, and staying in a haunted house during the White Pony Sessions.

Around the Fur is his favorite album, which he’s said before. He admitted they don’t rehearse like they should for tours. Said Stephen says they need to practice more.  Funny story about Stephen pre-covid, he wanted to not put out a new record or tour and just have the band learn all the back catalog and rent a studio and play every week and film it.

Oh boy... now we need to see this happening.

Really nice interview. Cool to see how Terry speaks about them. Thank you for the link.
BTW, I had no idea about the different drum setups!

Deftones

Deftones has probably never sounded better.
With new thinking and curiosity, Deftones makes a grand return.
In fact, they have probably never sounded better.

ALTERNATIVE METAL Deftones from California can hardly be accused of getting stuck in the past.
For more than 30 years, the alternative metal band has been almost allergic to the status quo. Even after the loss of member Chi Cheng, they found the strength to continue.
After the soft and relatively quiet "Gore", Deftones is now pushing in the opposite direction on their ninth album "Ohms". And that together with returning producer Terry Date , who made their first four records. Anger and frustration over, among other things, today's harsh conversational climate and polarization in society are heavily covered by Abe Cunningham's thunderous drumming, Stephen Carpenter's groovy riffs and Chino Moreno's passionate screams and sweet singing.

But beyond the wrath there is also a lot of warmth. Fascinating sensitivity, crisp melodies and atmospheric synth loops through the hard facade, signed Frank Delgado .
They even manage to make samples of screaming seagulls feel gripping.

The glow and nuances make Deftone's ninth album an unexpected peak of form.
And that at the same year that the iconic album "White Pony" and "Diamond Eyes" celebrate 20 and 10 years respectively.

Suddenly, 2020 became significantly better.

BEST TRACK: "This link is dead".

Thanks for this! Definitely agreed here.

Another interview with Abe that's kinda funny, he makes fun of Stef during the recording process and talks about the fans overlaying the Ohms eyes on Chi's picture. They mistook that for Chino and used his picture, EPIC FAIL. LOLZ..

Stef has wanted to do that studio lock-out idea for years - well over a decade now.  It's too unconventional for the band, though ( = $$$).  Stef is prob the most down to earth of the guys.  Special nod to Abe and Chi too.  Zero ego.  Loves his fans and appreciates the success they've had.  Very genuine, sweet guy.  The fact that he entertains alternative theories shows he has an open mind to what's out there.  Maybe he does think he's pretty smart, but he's not wrong.

true, Stephen is really down to earth, and no ego. Abe as well

Chino's pretty nice too. they're all good dudes

Half an hour Daniel P Carter interview with Chino

[Visionz]

Chino must not realize how often he uses certain words like juxtaposition and dichotomy and waves  ive heard him use them out of context so much too. Hes cool though, dont yell at me. Yall know it too

Someone must pay him (and the band) $500 every time they use the word "engaged" when describing the Ohms writing/recording process.  It's obvious their PR person heavily preps them for these interviews and prepares responses to generic questions.  Hell I wouldn't be surprised if some press are requested to ask certain questions to ensure the PR narrative is established.  This manicured publicity only started with DE - immediately following Chi's accident and forward.
