My Milwaukee Experience....

[downtownpony]

I don't do a WHOLE hell of a lot of reading on bands at all.  But I do have a slight obsession with tool and have read a lot of their interviews.  I know they hardly ever play prison sex or 10,000 days-wings for Marie because of the meaning it has for Maynard.  He stated that those two song lyrics are the only lyrics he ever regretted writing.  Maybe Chino feels a little bit the same about SNW?  Kinda like I have heard ( I think from Kelly ) that NIN never plays The Perfect Drug because Trent hates thinking about that time in his life.  I could be way off here though.  

I think thats def a possibility. Although selftitled was also recorded with alot of bad shit going on at the same time. They even refer to it as dark days. Yet they still play from it.

I'd say their more than just drinking buddies. I think theres a good portion of the "Milwaukee experience" that she left out.

lol.  I just want to hear Steph start referring to one of them as " his baby momma."

[Variable]

That's what he gets for writing songs about every slut he fucks.

Chino mentioned in a Saturday Night Wrist interview, that the songs are personal to him and he never wants to listen to them.i gotta say though the lyrics are pretty dark and he also mentioned how he hates listening to people's problems in songs and wants to write metaphorical stuff that doesn't depress

I think Chino put a lot of himself into SNW.  Going through the shit he was going through and stuff.  Oddly enough, as I am typing this cherry waves came on, ( I have my iPod on shuffle ) and I must say, this is a great song.  HITE sucked, and I think pink cell phone was just for fun.  But other than that, the other songs on SNW are actually really good.  I think maybe just too many people were expecting a metal album.

HITE doesn't suck, its an average song but very catchy though, sometimes i cant stop listenin to it

never drank a thing.... and I'd say the only portion that was left out was ME sick as a dog for about 45 minutes until Deftones took the stage.   =)    sexy, I know.

Well, there you go.

So I live in Illinois, but being the avid Deftones fan that I am....   Jax and I made the trip.   We had a great time... got thru the doors... and then I receive a text from a friend of mine to come out to the busses.    We went out... risking being able to come back in.   We ended up on the bus...  chillin ... watching lost and smokin up.   Stef is an awesome dude, and he sat and talked and talked to us... then Sergio came thru the door and chilled a bit with us.   We then go outside, because quite honestly at this point, I'm wasted.   lol.    I sat with Stef and Jax and we BS'd a lil while .. and I tried to sober up.   Then, some dude comes up.. says  give me about 5 minutes, and I'll take you girls thru the back entrance.   .... we sit a lil while longer .. and he came back .. grabbed us, handed us passes and told us to put them on.   we did and we entered back stage and I ended up getting some pretty damn good vids from the show... FROM in front of the rail.   It was so much fun!!!!     Then afterwards, we ended up back at the busses, bs'n and chillin out.   And then we started on our 3 1/2 hour ride home.     I had a blast, and I'm so glad that my bestie was there with me.

Enjoy!

I was at this. It may have been the best Deftones show I've ever been to. The setlist was near perfect! Your videos are fucking amazing quality!!! I'm so glad you documented this so that I can relive it over and over again. Thank you so much!!!

[White Pwny]

You are very welcome!!!!     I'm glad the vids turned out so well.. I was kind of afraid they wouldn't, since I was in front of the rail... RIGHT in front of the speaker..   but my ol' Sony did not fail.    =)

I'm thrilled that you love them!

[Variable]

I'm too pissed of that I wasn't there to watch them. 

[White Pwny]

We would have had a blast, Trey Trey.

[snw9]

Minerva was great, should always be on the setlist

[Variable]

We would have had a blast, Trey Trey.

Rub it in sinner, just rub it in

whens the last time you've been to a deftones show?

[Variable]

On the ST tour.  I think in 03

[White Pwny]

I'm telling you..... the breakdown in Royal.... was NOT good.   

[White Pwny]

nothing like we've seen previously.   He didnt hold the scream....   

[Hesperian Death-Horse!]

I'm telling you..... the breakdown in Royal.... was NOT good.   

I definitely recognized that he didn't hold that last scream nearly as long as the album but the performance was sick as hell anyway and the scream that he did manage to get out was nothing to scoff at. But yes, it was not his best. Still, I was very pleased that they played it. Way better than Madison who got "Back To School" instead. Ha! That blows. Sorry for gloating.

[Hesperian Death-Horse!]

This guy keeps uploading videos from the show and I think he recorded the full shit, so keep an eye on it for Royal:

I only see "Sextape." Did Warner start fucking him like they did to you or something?

EDIT: Never mind. I'm retarded.
