where's sergio from? trick question - no one cares.

here they talk about nationality and some other stuff. love this interview
Deftones - Interview with Chino, Frank & Stef @ Latin MTV (2001)

This is where it's funny you always either say "not calling u a fanboy" or "fanboy!" and u step right to the interview immediately. A fanboy would know every detail about everything like u seem to and argue it till there's nothing left. Way to go, not calling YOU a fanboy or anything. Thanks for the vid, let's not get too much deeper, got shit to do today like watching my Detroit Tiger's opener.

i think that if you're a fanboy,you love everything they do without ever asking yourself if it's good, just automatically swallow everything and praise it to the sky no matter what.oh, chino boyband dancing in the mein video? - it looks sooo great such a talented artist.oh chino sings king kong get some?haha so funniez. oh chino is contradicting himself in interviews? it must be because of blablablabla some out of this world defend speech that has nothing to do with reality. constantly twisting stuff to something positive... if a song title is cool it's cool,but if it's dumb, then it's cool that it's dumb. if you like a song, it's great, but if it sounds shitty, then it's awesome to have balls to be shitty, or it's not a bad song it's just unorthodox and ahead of it's time "no one understands it like i do"and so forth.
a lot of stuff they do i absolutely love, but i don't hesitate to say when i don't like something they do, and that's where i think i can't be called a fanboy. ordinary fan would work i guess.and knowledge about a band alone isn't fanboyism.depends on what it is you know though. some things people say they know or want to know can be creepy but that is more in the stalker slot i think. if there was a poll i think i would vote luisisch as the fanboy and slyartwork as the stalker, so i hope you don't think i feel your the worst one, because i definately don't

musings is just happy to draw you into another of their arguments

[from_musings]

not following you.i might have talked about fanboys in another thread earlier on, but that thing was over and done.
now, we were chatting about mexicans, something he and northcal started, and all of the sudden he brought up the fanboy thing AGAIN.
which made me explain the definition of the word so there won't be any more confusion.that's right - HE drew ME back in.

[DEFinatelydeftones,fsho]

Cheers, another episode of "Ridiculousness". I admit... I GOT DRAGGED IN, LESSON LEARNED. To close Musings, I guess i mostly talk about what I like here and don't give enough insight to you on what I don't like. Never said I didn't like Mexicans by the way so that's covered.... I'm the type of person that doesn't bitch a lot I guess bc trust me there are many imperfections to this band but I LOVE THEM. Cheers to that, ehh

yes about love, but not only love. here's omar in mars volta talking about the importance of conflict.. i see it that way too, what he says can be applied to everything in life, films,books,relationships and even a deftones board

FREAKBEAT: The Mars Volta, part 2

[Crazy Breed]

New Album, New Tour........same old love!

bumping this shit for those who are newer to the site.

[Mustang]

Sexy, diverse music. Incredibly unique.'Nuff said.

[DJR]

They excite me more than any other band i know of, goose pimples and all that jazz.....
Cool ass mofo's!  And they mix every kind of sound i like and mould it into one!

[thewanderer]

Deftones write the music I don't have the talent to create. I swear sometimes they have found a way to pick my brain. Everytime I get an idea for a song I would write the same concept appears on the next album. It's seriously fucking weird. NO other band can contrast the light, dark, positive, negative, heavy, soft, (ect. you get the point) like this band. So dense yet so simple.....

[Shadow46/2]

Knife prty. That is why I love them.

Very similar to what I might say lol. I bought ATF in 98 when I was 14, and their style of heavy music with beautiful melodic moments was just fucking perfect. As I grew my musical taste started to change and it's like Deftones always wrote an album that was exactly what I wanted to hear at that time. There are even certain songs that grow on me years later. Rx Queen and Moana are examples of songs that I was not very fond at release, but have since become favorites. I love how they can build upon their sound and surprise you without completely abandoning their core vibe. The change feels natural I guess, and not forced. I feel like many bands go into the studio with a mindset of "our last album was heavy/slow/melodic/experimental/etc, now lets do any album that is this, this and that".

Know what you mean i can make up a cool riff on the spot but its combination of all their inputs that make a true deftones song,the lyrical style is also hard to write in i find if i sit down and try write some lyrics i just write the same old cliche stuff over and over but if i am up super late and am really tired i'll just feel like writing and i'll just write down lots of things even if it's just a line i think is cool or whether it's like a whole poem or song a lot of the time i don't even remember writing it, i think it's because my mind is really busy i am always thinking of something but when i am that state of mind i can think and write clearly i can't make myself write i just do it when i get the urge,i think that's where a lot of people go wrong they get a preconceived notion of what the albums going to be about rather just writing what they feel and you can tell their insincere.
