what do you like most about Deftones music?

[Deftones-argentina]

the surrealist feeling it gives to me, it's simply otherwordly.

[Hesperian Death-Horse!]

^ Yes! The music does have a surreal feeling to it. That's why I've compared their sound to a lot David Lynch's surreal film passages. They just make you feel like you're somewhere phantasmagorical. Very dream-like.

The Deftones are one of the few bands that can completely clear my mind and take me somewhere else.  They're so much more than a metal or hard rock band....

what do you like most about Deftones music?

not just the band    the same as with other bands songs albums i like...  depends on the song andor part of the song        all about the mood and feeling    not just the deftones music in general

I dont know how to say to be honest..
An ond friend of mine, back in highschool, intruduced them to me (he gave me a mix tape with 'Root' on it). When I heard the song in my couch, relaxing, I was like: "I need to find more!". That was back when Napster was the best option to find music online. I downloaded '7 words', 'One weak' and 'Fireal' that day and I couldn't stop listening to them. Luckily I found a cool cd store who used to import stuff from U.S and I ordered my copy of 'Adrenaline'.

It took like three weeks to arrive in my place. I've been listening to them since. I never found another band that makes me that interested, excited, just because they are unique. Chino's voice/lyrics, Abe's and Chi's rythm, Frank's atmospheres and Stef's violence. They all fit together and I dont know any other band that fit like they do. That's probably the best way to answer your question.

I do love Faith no more and Rage against the machine, but Deftones is my favorite band since I was 18, and they are in another level, IMO.

I like that deftones just stay true to themselves. Like after White Pony they could have made WP part 2, but they took a hard left and made a experimental but great album.

Yes. They chose what was harder and less safe - also in sales terms. They did it because their love for music was more important than money. They were classified under that nu metal shit, but they never tried to take advantage of it,  even when it would have been profitable.

everything i feel has already been said, I love how the anger, the beauty and punch is combined, very unique sound, they always re-invent their sound in each album, they are the shit.

The thing that made me love deftones was the "substance" of their music, I loved Change instantly and I got so deep in it that it transported me to another world, all that dark atmosphere, the bass line, chino's voice it was fucking amazing! then it was Chino's lyrics they could mean all and nothing at the same time, it played with my mind and I love that in art, when art is enigmatic I feel so atracted to it.. its the substance I was talking about.. there is no other band like them, I could say A Perfect Circle or Tool, but they are not the same... Deftones are unique!!!

no matter how i feel i can listen to it and enjoy it. happy, sad, pissed off, it's always been there. thats one reason i guess.

[976-EVIL]

Deftones in one moment will lull you into a blissful state of beauty and then 10 seconds later brutally assault you with a concrete cinder block across the face.

Worth repeating IMO..............

[Nebontha]

Would I be the first to say I LIKE THE WHOLE FREAKING THING

[snakesandladders]

It's always up there......UNwimpy
