What is it about this band that makes you love them?

[pony_01]

because i cry while they performing "Sextape" in Jakarta. that's why i know i love them.

[Crazy Breed]

Yep! State Theatre, Detroit in May. Can't wait. I think that was the venue here that their shit was stolen. I've seen them there twice I believe. I live just 20 min outside Detroit and the theatre.... can't stop thinking about it seeing all the great new live footage from this year n last.

the fact that they're comfortable enough with their masculinity to sight Purple Rain as a major influence

I like Deftones cuz they make me hard down there.

[people_r_fake529]

There are so many things that make me love the Deftones, of course, #1 being that every album is a musical masterpiece in its own right, #2, all members of the band are amazingly talented musicians, who are all in it for the music baby, not the money and fame, they are fucking real, and in your face! ,
#3 every song is sick and EPIC, and just gives me tingles, when I listen to it, letting the lyrics touch deeply into my soul with Chino's voice! and #4

THE DEFTONES HAVE NEVER SOLD OUT AND BECOME MAINTSTREAM JUST TO BE PLAYED ON MAINSTREAM RADIO! they have stayed true to what they want to play and create awesome, rocking fucking music as artists and musicians, for their fans and themselves, they don't give a fuck if they make radio friendly music to make more money, the DEFTONES WILL NEVER SELL OUT!  MUCH RESPECT TO THE DEFTONES! THE BEST BAND OF THE LAST DECADE! 

[DEFinatelydeftones,fsho]

This new record has re-energized my admiration for the band, especially "This Place is Death". It broadens (in my mind) the bands' range in style. All the new news stories and interviews are unexpected and a huge bonus to what I personally thought we would never get after Chi's accident. I'm happy Sergio's place in the band today seem well received and accepted and the band knows this. They will now tour and write another album and hopefully continue to keep surprising us. Who else is doing this today?!?!?!?!? Come on, this is why I love this band more than I ever have. So what, times have changed and people are older so you don't get WP2 or ATF2. This shit is still sacred to me and most of us here and we wouldn't have thought that at the end of 2008 or early 2009. Hell, I wouldn't have thought they planned on writing soon for that matter! God bless Deftones and everyone here with an opened mind who doesn't act like they are management and criticize someone elses' opinion bc it could come back to bite your ass bc u don't know what's happenin next homie. That's what I love....

and what if they do get played on the radio? i mean seriously, who gives a shit

[mrpelon94]

there just unique...everything they do is cool........as a matter of fact i think they should be included in the Big 4 concert

[Nebontha]

...Because their music appeals to my benign schizophrenia, in good ways bad ways and many in between
and the fact that they aren't super-mainstream, very much appeals to my (mostly) anti-sociality..
With all that said, their music actually helps me stay sane, for the most part...

...but maybe I shouldn't have posted all this in the first place (insert shifty-eyed paranoid smiley here: ...okay that's the closest thing, lol..)






...just being honest, if you don't like it that's your own problem

[snw9]

chino's voice, frank ambience, steph's heaviness and most importantly, the balance of melodic and aggression!

[GUNS.RAZORS.KNIVES!]

because i've never heard anything as mesmerizing, beautiful and at the same time creepy and scary as their songs. i've been a fan for seven years now and i haven't heard one Deftones song that i didn't like . Chino's voice is hands down the most amazing shit i have ever heard.
By the way i'm new here so hello everyone.

[Jizzlobber]

Dope facial hair!!!

Fat doobies!!!

[Crazy Breed]

my love has only gotten deeper...bring on the new album and tour!!

ok... but you must try to feel the vibe of the situation here... 99% of those who are here are just following deftones because of old habit. those people have gone through that phase you're going through now - decades ago.so just chill. It's like you come late to a party when everyone is too drunk,too tired, and about to sleep, and you just come in with a big bag of beer,party hat on and shouting "fuck yea!, let's party hard!!" you just don't do that. it's disrespectful. let the old timers do their thing and step aside with your energy and positivity, you're totally out of time

wow maybe I missed something here but it's never too late. U r not competing to have the biggest lubed cock for Deftones here with anyone here (99% of us anyways) most may know or experienced more or in some cases are technically more advanced to music alone  but doesn't take away from your excitement or feelings u get. Don't get your shit spoiled by someone who feels they are more of a fan. That would be sad. Enjoy man.
