Instrumental Album?

[Rxx]

What if the Tones made a purely instrumental album? I think I read somewhere that Steph wanted to create one sometime.. I think it would sound awesome, they could explore all their potential to dig atmospheres.

Deftones u,u,d,d,l,r,l,r,a,b,select start

[Vesanic]

I think it would be interesting. If they were able to capture moods as deep as the one on the Konami Code for every song of that eventual record, it would be a masterpiece. Each time they jam, there's something mindblowing, the interludes in the concerts and all, they're capable of lots, lots of things.

[from_musings]

probably depends on why you love deftones.

for me it's steph's heavy guitar + chinos singing = deftones.
to remove any of them elements will make it fall flat i think. didn't see select start on any top three lists here, not even on snw top 3's. thought no one cared about a track like that so why wish for more. i like it okay, but you know... it's not what excistes me the most about them.

their basic structure is often very simple so much is up to chino. and unfortunately i don't think they're good enough musicians to make it to a good enough level for an entire disc, to keep an entire album interesting without chino's voice as an instrument . there are bands like russian circles who does it better i think

[Hidalgo]

i'd buy it for sure, but i'm a super diehard. casual fans wouldn't care. i think it would be interesting

[from_musings]

I would never like that they would make such an album, but I would still buy it to have it in my collection. good or not.

[Vesanic]

Well that might be just me but the Konami Code is my second favorite SNW track.

it is a great track

it is a great track for sure

question would you give it the time of day if you didnt know it was produced by deftones?

i dunno, good question. if i heard it i'd definitely know it was good. actually bothering to listen to something with no vocals not knowing who made the song would be the problem. i'm not big on listening to instrumental stuff, unless it's cky or deftones, or TS. i'm sure i'd enjoy tons of other instrumental bands and songs, but i just don't have the patience or the will to find it

I would.

I think an EP of instrumental would be cool, but having to wait four years for just an instrumental album would be a little disappointing.

right you are

[Deftones-argentina]

Yes, An Ep would be enough. I know this will be controversial, but The snw demos were instrumental and weren't that entertaining. Yeah, I know they weren't thought as instrumental songs at all, but you can see there ain't much going on. I truly believe that they are genius, but they do less than they are capable of because of being lazy/not having enough time to explore themselves/not recording everything they do. Hell, even u, u, d,d was about to be forgotten.

[lostpilot]

No.

[VictorPL]

That would be cool, and I definetly would buy it and probably like. But it would kinda suck not hearing any singing froim Chino. I  treat the Ezrin demos like an instrumental album, I basically like all the tunes and its an interesting listen if youre a big fan. But as someone earlier asked, if I didnt know it was Deftones I would probably never have the patience to listen to it and let it grow on me.

I was wondering, i've seen you call yourself a "diehard" and even a"super diehard" here and there, and as i understand you base that on that you've listened to deftones for a long time?  but i also read that you've seen them live only once? it's like as if I'd call myself a "ladies man who looooves women" but all i do is to sit and jerk off to nude women in a porn magazine? if i used that title one would think i go to bed with a real women once in a while`?

I have no 100% idea of what you need to do to call yourself a die hard,but deftones are known for their live performances, kind of big part of them
and to check deftones out on youtube is not the same thing. I thought one would have a bit of stalker characteristics to earn that title? but like i said, i don't know, so i ask 

[Hidalgo]

i've seen them live 4 times. tried to see them a few other times but they fell through. and i was a diehard deftones fan waaaaaay before youtube. i barely knew what they looked like the first 2 years i was a fan,95 96, besides the 7 words video and a tiny pic of chino in the adrenaline booklet. no internet till 2000. i have been a fan a long time, but that's not what makes me a diehard. i'm sure there's people just as passionate about their music as me who've only been fans a few years or less, the fact that i became a fan in 95 doesn't make me more diehard than anyone else 

and i don't think there's certain goals or criteria you have to meet to be diehard, you just know it in your heart. like any diehard, sports fan, they just bleed that teams colors even if they've been to few or no games. it's about passion mostly

ops my bad, i must have confused you with somebody else. i failed at research. 1 time in 15 years wouldn't be die-hard worhty though
