Quite a cool interview, but they don't really cover any new info we don't already know. The guy had written out this interview in full too:
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/deftones_we_started_to_reconnect_more_as_friends_and_as_a_band.html
and its hilarious because of how many times Chino says "you know?" or "you know what I mean?" easily over 100 times!

For any musicians out there, theres some interesting stuff about them actually playing in completely different tunings a lot of the time, especially even Sergio will be in C# while Chino is in E, strange how it all comes out ok in the end!

[cEvin Key]

Saw this one yesterday. it really got me pumped about Eros!The way chino describes it, it looks like it's something very experimental and has more guitar work.

[Subliminal]

Cheers for this.

I didn't like some of the questions though..

You guys are playing Rock on the Range on May 22nd. Slash, Seether, Killswitch, Mastodon, Limp Bizkit, Coheed ... do you guys feel a musical camaraderie with these bands?


But a gig like that playing with these bands, these are kind of the best of the best. It must be fulfilling to have arrived at this level.


Are you fucking kidding me? Arrived? hahaha!

[There Will Be Blood]

Really damn good interview. Eros sounds really awesome! Can't wait!!! I'm hungry for more Deftones!

[RoyalDeftonicBoy]

Thanks for the interview
I think most of us are happy with DE but the fever for EROS is bigger 

[fetisher]

Frank always seems annoyed.   

He's cool, though.  He really does own this record.

Must be a Cure fan.

80's Cure = Best band of all fucking time.

[There Will Be Blood]

Every time Stef picks up a guitar he can write a song LOL

[fetisher]

Also,

Sounds like Nick had a lot to do with this record.  Goes to show how important a good producer can be.

[rehostia]

Yeah Nick really helped. You can tell they really worked well with him. I mean c'mon assigning homework!?!? lol Sounds like someone who knows his stuff.

i expected a lot more from steph on this record and given his love for that 8 string guitar. maybe he'll prove me wrong on eros

"His hands are only so big. He can't get a twelve string guitar next." - Abe on Stef

[bewareofrats]

Hahahaha, that's classic. I like it because it sounds like something someone here would say and it's from the band.

lol

when i talked to stef the other night i asked if he would want to beat meshuggah and go for a 9 string next and he said flat out said no haha.. he mentioned some band that uses a 9 but i forget the name now...
