"Plain Boring"

[from_musings]

I think Tony Hawk lost his magic as well.

So did Michael Jordan.

what about magic johnson? probably lost his magic too. guess he's just "johnson" nowdadays

true.
I think the deftones should only play material from their most recent album, or completely new material. They seem to have more exciting/passionate performances when they do.

I don't know, man. When they play Dai, BQAD, MOS, Digital Bath, etc, they always seem to be pretty into it.

How about if you're bored with them and not into it anymore FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET THE FUCK ON WITH YOUR LIFE IF U HAVE ONE!!! Seriously, what r u waiting for? Them to go Benjamin Button on us now? Not gonna happen. Appreciate it for what it is.

The shows back in the day were unpredictable because Chino mainly was never sober and today he is. The shows are more rehearsed now and tight due to being more focused and not partying as much. They've been playing some of the best shows of their lives at the moment because everything is good in the Deftones camp. In the past this wasn't always the case. Also, with a new bassist I'm sure the rest of the band are reluctant to be more spontaneous.

Anyway, these posts are the type of bullshit Chino was talking about. Like we the fans know what's best for the band. The past is the past, the shows will never be like they were back then so there is nothing we can do about it apart from move on...

I'm pretty disappointed with most of you people bitching about the fact some people are unsatisfied today. I mean, I'm one of these people, but I'm not expecting them, mostly Chino, to be the way they/he were/was. When some fans are not happy with some performances or songs, the people who ARE happy with that stuff go like " yeh at least bring some arguments or go die you moron ". And now that someone brings some constructive and interesting criticism, it's still not enough, you all go " do somethin else if u're not happy DEFTONES FTW ".

Are we obliged to like every fucking thing they do ? As true fans of the band, we must be able to admit when they disappointed us, and we have the right to do so, since we are on a fucking Deftones forum. Why should there be only happy fans ? You think that's the way it goes ? I wish, man. I wish I had nothing bad to say about the band the way they are today, but that's not the case. Fuck, if I don't have the right to talk about what I don't like in the band, I don't know why people should be allowed talk about what they DO like. You've got to tolerate each side of the spectrum and every possible opinion (as long as it comes with real valid arguments and basic respect, of course) otherwise, this place doesn't deserve to be called a forum.

i don't think people should be telling others to "go die" or whatever because they disagree, but i can see both sides. i just think that it is silly to think the band isn't going to change and get worse over time. especially when talking about music and how strenuous it is on a band, especially chino and his voice. i acknowledge that he doesn't sound as good as he used to or isn't as "spontaneous" on stage as some say. what stands out to me is pink pop 2003, you can hear chino's vocal chords just shredding. since then his screams haven't been the same. maybe i'm wrong. he, along with daryl palumbo (i don't know if he can't or won't scream) seem like they have been on the same path of not being able to scream as hard, more inhales blah blah blah.

all of that aside, i still love this band and i would hope most of all of you do too. they are just older.

[DEFinatelydeftones,fsho]

Who said "die"? Anyways, yeah people should be able to discuss it both ways and we are but the words "plain boring" sounds like you're not happy with it at all. That said, I will still say find something else to enjoy somewhere else." Plain boring" isn't the same as getting old..... easy tiger, I even smiled And I'm disappointed with people spending hours here with something they find "plain boring". But who cares if I'm disappointed, I still like this band a lot. And  I certainly don't want anyone to die over this, that's disappointing.

[Vesanic]

I'm not talking about you specifically, dude. Besides, you didn't say die, I know, die in that context would mean go somewhere else, you know what I mean ?

[beansandcornbread]

OP is incorrect.  Album font is better.  The photos are great.  Live they are better than ever.  I am right.  You are wrong.  Life changes.  Magic is still there.

I listen to the Deftones every once in a while. When I first got into them I listened to them nonstop. Now, almost 5 years later, I listen to other things. I play the albums every once in a while and think "yeah, this album is awesome" and then I put it away and do the same thing 6 months later. Still looking forward to the new album and the tour for it. I saw them play twice on the DE tour and loved it. Sure they play the same songs, but it didn't change my experience seeing one of my all time favorite bands play.

[from_musings]

true.
I think the deftones should only play material from their most recent album, or completely new material. They seem to have more exciting/passionate performances when they do.

in american idol, the finalists probably can sing shitty songs well and do it with a lot off passion, but still it's shitty songs so we don't like to hear or watch it.
so - it's not all about singing and dancing proberly. if a rock star singer performed, sang a cool song a little off key but owned the stage amyway and then peed on the judges - we would appreciate that rock n roll performance better than the other singers that hit all notes. to me the magic is in the latter example
