"Plain Boring"

[elite54]

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.

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.

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.

if its just music then why not enjoy that instead of acting like the band owes you something more then that?

How about if you're bored with them and not into it anymore. Appreciate it for what it is.

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

I fucking love Neil Degrasse Tyson.

Look.. I said this in the other thread, too.  Deftones hasn't lost anything.  Chino's much healthier now, and he's getting older.. sure he's not taking his pants off and he's not fucked up on stage anymore..  But despite their loss in shock value, his voice has seriously gotten BETTER and although I was slightly disappointed with DE I was not at all pissed about it.  I love that they're doing what they're doing based on where they are now.  They've got the whole Chi thing going on now and that reflects onto DE.  I bet the next album will fucking rock, just like every other one of their albums has in their own way, and honestly if you don't like it then live in the past.  Not trying to flame but, what else are you going to do?  Either progress with the band, or get stuck in time thinking about "a better era."  I, for one, plan to progress.

Chino's much healthier now

dont looks like 2006 Chino's.. at all

[alvarezbassist17]

Maybe it still depends on the show?  I saw them earlier this year and thought they sounded better than the other times I saw them ('03, '05).  I'm a huge fan of Diamond Eyes though, so that could've had some influence on it.

But fuck, you guys.  I think Deftones are and will remain my favorite band for the forseeable future, but all this nitpicking is pretty melodramatic, not to mention futile.  I mean there's nothing wrong with criticizing their shortcomings, but just think of what Metallica fans have been through with their once-good band, and appreciate that Deftones haven't devolved into fucking trash like that when you're gauging them as a whole.

You're entitled to your opinion. I just feel like things are a bit more special and exciting the first time around. Kinda like the first time you jerked off, or smoked some good crack. You just don't know how you, or ,in the case of the deftones, the audience is going to react. And if they love it it's all the more special.

[downtownpony]

Sorry for the fucked up grammar and/or punctuation. Couldn't quite figure out how to put that last part correctly.

I'm not sure if you are trying to disagree with me. I'm a little to girthy for you to be arguing with me.

[downtownpony]

honestly yes. It's the only thing I've looked forward to the past 5 or so times I've seen them.

[downtownpony]

Although when they change shit up I like it. Those 09 performances were quite badass. Especially Beware at pukklepop and WGTB at that South American show. I guess I just can't make my mind up.
