Deftones Bullshit Thread

[DeftonesNZ]

you can tell from just by hearing Adrenaline that they weren't just another nu-metal band

what do you mean by "they weren't just another nu-metal band" ? it sounds by you that there were a lot of nu metal bands in 1995? deftones were pioneers, they started this shit (with korn)

Yeah I meant looking back on that whole era even their most raw record still had a mix of softer and harder elements ,I don't think Deftones are even nu-metal in the sense it was used by media i just can't agree with a genre that groups together "Limp Bizkit " with guys like Deftones who are making real unique, dynamic music.

It's amusing how Deftones and Korn diverged. That whole "kornstep" experiment was embarrassing.

I kinda liked it. Gotta give 'em props for trying new stuff. When they came out they were unstoppable.

Also, Nu-Metal wasn't even coined when Adrenaline came out. I think it was around 97 that shit got termed. Before that it was bands like Orange 9mm, Helmet, Korn, Deftones etc.

I know the term wasn't around but when people started using the term, "Adrenaline" got labelled a nu-metal album and was put in the same category as rap metal shit which is just wrong even their earliest record had soft-hard dynamics

Just to verify; there are only digital versions of the 'Sextape' and 'You've Seen The Butcher' singles right?

Pretty sure man.

Can't find this t-shirt in my size (M) anywhere now, sucks cause I've known about it for a while but only liked it as of a few months ago when I saw it in a shop and realised what was actually going on in it.

Remember Maverick not making actual singles (on disc) anymore and I can't find it, but just checking.

Funny you should mention that t-shirt, I just found it on Play.com; http://www.play.com/Clothing/T-Shirts/4-/5541317/Deftones-Men-Skull-Roses-T-Shirt/Product.html?searchstring=deftones&searchtype=&searchsource=2&searchfilters=s%7bdeftones%7d%2bc%7b470%7d%2b&urlrefer=search.

At the end of the When Girls Telephone Boys and Needles and Pins, there is some insane screaming that is faded out. Is there any way I manipulate the ending of those songs as to where they don't fade, like some kind of program.

There's two versions of a 'You've Seen the Butcher' single. One is a US version in a jewel case with back cover art only and the other is a one track UK version (comes in a card sleeve I believe). There's also a UK 1 track CD single of 'Sextape'. Hope that helps.

I dont hate the term Nu-metal like a lot of people do, they immediately think Limp Bizkit and Korn

but to me that term was apt because at the time it was a new sound of metal that wasn't solo driven and obnoxious; it was more focused on heaviness with a groove to it and singers were beginning to scream consistantly, it was in a way a 'new metal'

but somewhere along the way nu-metal got comfused with rap-metal/rap-rock

I dont think they are the same thing...

[DeftonesNZ]

Exactly at some point ignorant people just started  calling any music with metal type guitars nu-metal a lot of people then just played nu-metal off as a joke because of the bands like Limp Bizkit

[sooniletugo]

Has anyone else ever come across this old rumour that Chino cheated on his last wife and got another girl pregnant? Whats that all about?

ahahahhahaha that is fucking funny

[DeftonesNZ]

I think it's well known that he cheated never anything about getting a chick pregnant it's probably bullshit

[sooniletugo]

I'm not suggesting its legit, just saw somebody ranting about it on a site then googled it and found more results talking about it.

[kurtone]

In the revolver article when SNW came out it mentions his "girlfriend on the side" getting  preggo and that added to his stress

[mr.sinister]

Isn't his girlfriend now his wife?
