instead it's dead!!

I am also a huge Pearl Jam fan....when they announce a tour, their website blows the fuck up!! Mad people be on there!! This place is fucking dead! I don't get it!! I know the Deftones have plenty of fans...where the fuck are they all?!

also.....us Pearl Jam fans get together at pre-parties before each show (on the day of the show) to get our drink & smoke on and to hang out with like minded peeps...y'all should do this too...it's a cool way to meet fellow fans and make new friends!

I was a big contributor on here around the Saturday Night Wrist era. I think there was a lot more of a mystique to the band then. There was also lots of obscure Deftones tracks that were shared around then. Now when I come here or elsewhere online there is seldom anything I haven't heard before aside from the new songs on Diamond Eyes. I kind of liked it more when they'd do obscure covers and unexpected live renditions. It made it exciting to keep up to date and track down bootlegs.

I have been to 14 Pearl jam shows in the past 3 and 1/2 years.....I had an awesome time at every show...because not only are they worl class musicians and are dope as hell live...but their fans kick fucking ass!! It's like a community...we all hook each other up and look out for one another...that's the way shit should be!! so pop shit if you want...but if you haven't been to a PJ concert then you don't know shit about what i'm talking about.

fuck it though...I'll be that fool at the Deftones shows getting fucked up in the lot and smiling from ear to ear..happy as hell and appreciating the fuck out of this amazing band!

I heard that! that is another thing that Pearl jam does...their setlists vary so much from show to show...and once in awhile they will bust out a real rare cover or one of their old tunes they hadn't played in years.....Imagine being at a Deftones show and they all of the sudden start playing Gift or Answers!! That shit would be awesome!!

that would be awesome if they started playing the like linus demos live

#1 - deftones are not pearl jam. minimal radio play, not headlining US stadiums, fanbase is hardly comparable.
#2 - they've already been on tour for months and months, and already completed a US tour after album released
#3 - this board has been dead for years with the exception of a few months surrounding an album release.

after that horrible, horrible bullshit that was blackdiamondskye, i'm not surprised there's not much anticipation. makes me want to puke reflecting on how much money i paid to see a handful of songs i've seen 10+ times, then sit through just an awful sequel band that can't even be called AIC.

when the rock record of the year from itunes doesn't even get nominated for a grammy paints a perfect picture as to who really gives a shit about this band.

I guess you're right about the fan base.....which is sad because The Deftones deserve to have a huge fan base too....The Blackdiamondskye tour was my first time seeing them live so even though i wasn't too happy with the repeating setlists, the band sounded tight as hell and they put on a great show....I hoping for more variety now they are headlining...I plan on saying something to Chino about that shit when i see him at the meet and greet! One thing about Pearl jam is they can play 4 night in a row and only repeat a handful of songs...even if they are touring to promote an album! and they like to keep their fans on their toes by busting out rare shit.....The Deftones should do that shit too...they have enough covers and shit to do that.

so you don't like the "new" AIC? I love them! I have been a AIC fan for about 17 years now and I think their new album is fucking awesome....granted it's not Layne..but I still love them...& Jerry is still a fucking amazing guitarist!

So true. Everyones always so worried about their favorite bands selling out. I wish the tones had a much bigger commercial success. But I'm happy they've picked up a bunch of new fans with Diamond Eyes. I guess the tones music is just to experimental for the masses. I really thought sextape would be played all over the radio... Not the case.

I hear ya...but i've always been like "fuck the grammy's"....we, the fans make or break an album/tour/show/band....I guess i will have to take lead and show the fuckers at the shows i go to how it's done!!  ;) ;D

Two things, deftones aren't near half as big as pearl jam and also deftones fans are assholes as you can probably tell. It takes a lot for them to get excited and even then cynicism consumes us. Sorry if we harshen your buzz, we like taking the music we love for granted. It is the digital age after all.

it would be nice for a little more variety in setlists, i'll admit that.

it was laughable seeing AIC trying to follow up deftones. just not my idea of a good show.

Speaking for myself though, I'm seeing them in may for my first time the day after my birthday and I couldn't possibly be more excited if I tried, sadly most deftones fans don't seem to have that passion anymore, lots of folks here do but it's not the same as 1997-2003 was.
