Deftones Tour: Live guide + video footage

[rock_n_frost]

first post in years... holy shit, roller derby looks amazing!

omg you are not dead

[snw9]

Does roller derby sound like Melanie, maybe just a lil bit??

Yeah Roller Derby definitely has the influence of Melanie. Guys I don't want to speak out of turn but we just could hear some Eros like stuff on this record. After listening to Rosemary and getting that dark atmospheric SNW vibe, Sergio's description of Eros material being longer and lot going on and Chino's description of the new record having dynamics, I feel an influence of Eros on this...

Roller derby starts out strong and ends strong with a "Thrash" like riff and Korea like intro. I think Chino could have kept the song heavy like Rapture instead of going towards Rats!rats!rats! and Melanie but it needs a few more listens. Overall, its your typical mix of Deftones.

Damn Chino cant scream live anymore. I bet the studio versions the shit though. Still like Rosemary better

That's just the audio quality of the video or your speakers. His screams and voice were excellent all night. Probably his best I've seen in person.

But during roller derby you can't hear him at all (even live) the attack on the guitars drowned him out.

I think they drowned him out because they don't want us to memorize the lyrics yet, I don't know that maybe just me.

getting bits of rosemary, though. Definitely not enough to make up lyrics but the core stands for itself

Sergio posted a choice of songs for the setlist last night and Good Morning Beautiful and Battle Axe were on it Looks like I finally got through to them, and they decided to start practicing songs they never play live again!

This is true. I would say expect it soon. If that artwork is official (which I fear it is since I trust Sly) then it should be on the way rather shortly.

I really hope it isn't the artwork. It really is mega shit and that font/typeface is utter sphincter.

Not the most constructive criticism but hey.

[BillyNo.9]

I really don't want to have to frame that artwork when it comes out on vinyl.
