Saturday Night Wrist: A Look Back

I like B2S as well, but it has no place on WP.

Deftones - Cherry Waves (Live At Rock En Seine 2011)

this is seriously a better vocal performance than the fucking album

[Frankz0r]

I was thinking about this yesterday while my daily run on the park, but S/T was the situation, not SNW. Its been a long time since I dont listen to Deftones that much, even after DE released so yesterday I listened the whole ST while running. Amazing.

My conclusion is, you really start apreciating old albums when they get older, thats all. At first I kinda hated ST, and SNW, and DE, but thats what life is about, getting used to things, getting over them and then, loving them.

Kinda poetic hahaha

BTW hello beayotches, long time no see you.

[Vesanic]

Hey Frank, long time no see indeed.

[Frankz0r]

Hey Frank, long time no see indeed.

Yo Vesanic! Whats up man!

Yeah I should come back on my free time, I really had great times here at SL, one of the best things Deftones have given me.

i'm always surprised to hear that deftones songs and their albums can grow so much - the structure in the songs are quite simple in deftones music, so for me, that first impression i get lasts forever. absolutley loved s/t at first listen and still do, was beyond depressed when I heard snw the first time and still can't get into it, can't believe what's to grow. those strong emotions just don't change for me they stick. i'm fascinated by reading this though. i can think of several bands that write music you have to get into by a lot of listening, not just deftones, they lay their cards on the table face up i think (musically not lyrically

Same here. DE was the exception, except that the process was reversed. Loved it at first, then you know the story.

SNW is their best album for me, or it ties this title with the S\T.  
I just can't understand how people can say that it's weak and then say that WP is their best. But ok, everyone have their own mind.  

SNW has eveything you want to hear from Deftones. Slower songs where Chino hits freaking high notes - Kimdracula(ok, mid-tempo), Cherry Waves, Xerces.
Then again, heavy stuff - Rats!Rats!Rats(no doubt, heaviest thing they have ever done), Combat(have you ever heard so many screams as well as one of the highest notes hit in discography from Chino in one song? I guess no.), Rapture also is really intense and energetic effort.

There are Beware and Hole In The Earth, most known tracks from record, and if you call HITE a radio-hit, then you are completely kidding me, I think.

As for me SNW is the most focused Deftones offering, as it brings to our ears a really various kinds of tunes, that are getting together being one of the most solid albums of decade.

i believe in love at first sight, that vision of life seems so boring. "everything is shit, but if you get used to it you can accept it with time.that's love" fuck that. i almost feels there's something wrong when you have to fight and work for it during a long time to like something

ROFL

[MuchThanMore]

I think a real or OG Deftones fan is gonna have either Adrenaline or ATF at the top of their list... You can't beat perfect... The other albums are all great, but SNW is still the weakest, in my mind, the laziest; you can tell they didn't out their all into it.

D/E on the other hand, is a complete 180, I was very pleasantly surprised when I heard it, I thought it was gonna blow. You can tell they had their hearts in every aspect of the album all the way down to how Chino lost a billion pounds and got back into shape.

[from_musings]

Chino lost a billion pounds and got back into shape.

when chino hated his life in the snw era, he used a lot of meth. but amphetamines like that diminishes the need to eat. so.. how could he be so fat back then? 

[Vesanic]

I've heard he actually stopped doing drugs before the SNW era and that when you quit doing drugs, some kind of physical reaction gets you fat... I'm not well informed at all though.

[from_musings]

you're right,it seems he was using speed for about 2 years, approximately 2003,2004 and quit in 2005.
used speed during the making of snw, not after.(they began with snw in early 2004)

from an interview in 2006,speaking about speed:

''I never needed any rehabilitation or anything, I just decided never to do it again. It's been a year now and looking back at those  times none of them were happy'

seems he stopped with that kind of dope in 2005.

but still,this is a pic from 2004 (about a year doing speed)




fat back then too, hell, he was also fat in 2003. just doesn't look like the average speed user?

[Vesanic]

This is actually from June 2003.


This is from September 2004

Deftones - If Only Tonight We Could Sleep

[from_musings]

ok.. it says 2004 from the youtube clip i used
Deftones - Minerva - Live Rock am Ring (2004)

but if anyone knows these kinds of things it's you

[from_musings]

but in this interview http://areena.yle.fi/video/1314787566513

chino says he can't remember anything from 2006 because of drugs. i'm guessing he's not talkbing about a little weed. maybe he was a junkie longer than he admitted in that other interview

Yeah, it's a mislabelling.



Deftones didn't play in Europe in 2004.
