age of Deftones fans

[ignore the fashion]

32, been listening to Deftones since late 95/early 96. First time I heard them was when I seen the music video for 7 Words and the first time I seen them was at the 96 Warped Tour.

After seeing the music video I found out a few weeks later a friend had Adrenaline on CD so I borrowed it and bought it the very next day.

Old 30 year old here. 

Started listening to deftones in 1996. Attended my first deftones concert in 98. Fav band, still. I have probably seen them live 15-20 times.  I did take a hitatus from concerts from 2004-2009 to pop out a couple kids.   Now, I am back to a place where I just can't get enough of them.

Been a fan since I was 13. Got really fucked up when I saw them live. Manchester academy is a pretty cool place

Are you amber from the hub?

Also, lots of n00bs here, kinda strange.  I guess this band didn't peak fanbase wise.  Still, n00bs.

It's not exactly a bad thing that they have a broad fanbase, but yeah, a lot of the newer fans should do their homework a little, I wonder how many have been through that extensive digging around for material they haven't heard stage.

It used to be fun when the internet wasn't around. Stupid internerd, it's ruined all sense of wonder.

i like that they pull in new fans. keeps them relevant. and those kids (if they get truly into the band) will get into that phase of needing to see and hear everything eventually. actually that phase never really seems to end.

If you mean the Amber who was active years a few years ago.... then yeah. I'm not sure if there was another Amber somewhere out there. It's been a while. I did a lot of trading/dowloading when I was in college.... before stuff became so widely available like it is now.

I'm now 20, started listening to them when I was like 14. It actually started because I was in that 13-14 listen to korn and be depressed stage and I heard that song Wicked from life is peachy, and I was just really interested to learn who chino was after I heard him rapping on it. Continued from there...

<-- this guy right here
I said this is some other thread here where I was the OP, that I'm kind of a Deftones "noob" but don't feel bad about it. my belated 'discovery' of exploration of them has come at a great time in my life, inspired a lot of things I've done, and opened up my view towards music.

Yeah there was no other amber. Which is the color of your energy.  Whoa...whoa

Yeah, that sounds gay.

I'm 20 now, But I remember hearing "Change" a few times on the radio (and in flash videos online) when WP came out and I liked it but I never looked up who it was by...I suppose I started becoming an "official fan" after B-Sides and Rarities came out (2005 or so) cause I remember saving up (allowance) money to buy SNW when it first came out and when I first saw them live in in 2006 for the Family Values Tour w/Korn they started playing HITE before it was even barely a single and I was the only one in the crowd that knew all the words already lol. Guess I still would consider myself "obsessed" after them seeing them live 6 times so far ever so traveling around the US to see them.
