Deftones Bullshit Thread

[honeybeewu]

Man... Chino is happy and in love and unfortunately, in my experience, it's all to easy to over eat when you're cozy like that!  Now pass me that donut!!!

Dude why the fuck do you keep using that picture hahaha

because some guy here used to use it ages ago, I can't remember who - but I thought it was jokes so I resurrected it. it literally makes no sense.

[aeroplume]

i didnt see them when chino was all out of breath except for some youtube videos and while it sucked, i'd still see them. i've seen them 3 times now and i'll see them again.

Steph was on breal.tv today.. not sure if he talked about anything Deftones/Sol Invicto related though cause I missed it. The whole episode might be posted on the site sometime though, who knows.

It was jokes, you should have kept it, I laughed everytime.

Don't know why but I think this would be a perfect deftones album cover:

I wonder if we're really gonna hear a new song at Sonisphere or if Abe was just screwing with us. After listening to Smile for a while now I'm craving for more new Deftones

[Diplo]

I would trust more Abe than Chino but we will see, it seems not so long since the drop of KNY for me.
Plus, I just fall in love with The Dillinger Escape so Smile it's enough for now.

I couldn't agree more man, I actually used it to make art for the Smile thread

[Diplo]

Exactly the way I was thinking about, but I didn't do it because it's not my art.
Whatever, great cover.

Listening to the new Mastodon album; noticed the opening lyrics of "Asleep in the Deep" are similar to the opening lyrics of "Deathblow"

Mastodon: The moment you walk in room my friend, the demons are walking away
Deftones: Soon as you came in, all the beast went away

Coincidence I'm sure, both cool songs - Deathblow especially

[mothraw]

don`t know if this was already postet somewhere
it`s a pretty cool video and you can see lots of cool dudes in it like brent hinds and anselmo

but the best is funny chino at the end (22:30)

I know theres a few ETID fans on here, thought this was cool that ETID singer Keith Buckley gave White Pony some props.

For me, this record [White Pony] could have been the only record on earth. It's all I listened to for years. it had everything in it that I ever wanted out of music- aggression, challenging lyrics and melodies. this was the blueprint I carried with me when I approached ETID songs.

Keith is a huge Deftones fan. I've seen him tweet quite a few Deftones lyrics over the years.

I think it's time to stoke the fire for the new album a bit. Anticipating the release of a new album in 2012, hearing Rosemary and "Roller Derby" for the first time, guessing what could be the album name/cover, the eventual reveal of the name, tracklist and the song Leathers, etc., was a pretty exciting and already nostalgic time for me.

Now, songwriting for the next album started in March this year and I'm curious to read what you are expecting and hoping for. I think I can speak for everyone of us that not hearing a new song at Sonisphere Festival, as it has been "promised", was pretty disappointing. I have a feeling it will take a while before we hear of any updates on the new record.

In terms of sound I'm hoping for a record that's a little heavier than KNY, with more dynamics, switching between moodier and heavy songs and having less mid-tempo ones. On KNY, I felt that sometimes the heavy songs weren't heavy enough and the more melodic, ballad-like ones weren't pretty enough, if you know what I mean.
Edit: I still love songs like Graphic Nature, Tempest, Poltergeist, Leathers and Gauze, but another record with predominantly less extremes on both sides of the scale would feel kind of lazy and safe to me.

It's a weird thing for me to say, since a good chunk of my favourite 'tones songs has Chino on guitar, but maybe it's time for Chino to take a step back from playing guitar. Perhaps this time having a tracklist with equal parts Chino with and without his guitar again. As much as I like KNY, I fear that the next album will only have songs with the same pace like e.g. Rosemary or Romantic Dreams. Right now I'm craving for energetic and heavy songs like Melanie, Rats, Kimdracula, CMND/CTRL, Leathers, etc. and usually the band delivers such songs without Chino playing the guitar. (not counting Leathers, obviously)

Like I said, I'm curious what you think.

Terry date is wat we need so badly! I have a feeling that deftones are only gonna get softer now

I actually think that deftones sound better these days on the softer songs where chino isnt pushing his voice, he just seems to struggle if there's too much pace/screams etc.
