Deftones Tour: Live guide + video footage

[Jesus2Chino]

Chino seemed in high spirits for the gig though, lots of smiles. I was right in front of Chino there in Luisch's picture on the gate; good fun and great crowd.

You can't blame them for sticking primarily to singles for the set really--they rarely come to NZ, had to appease an audience not entirely comprised of their fan base, and had a really limited time on stage. I was expecting a set of singles, and was happy to hear RX Queen and Poltergeist played. They should have had Major Lazer play on the Tui stage after Pearl Jam and given the Deftones a longer set. That stage was finished after Arcade Fire before 8--just poor timetable management I think. Anywho, had a good time.

Much respect,

I didn't end up going but I saw someone suggest something like that to the promoter but they said as part of the conditions of having it at Western Springs the main had to close after PJ probably due to noise of something and also the fact deftones wanted a night show limited their set time.

[ANattyRat]

I think expecting the same songs at a festival is understandable, because they're trying to introduce people to their band, for those that haven't heard them before, and possibly gain new fans. So they play the 'main' songs, songs they're more known for. Rx Queen is a nice addition though. As for 7 Words, well...I think humanity will be wiped out before we hear the end of that song.

[BunsRaisinsPies]

If they start incorporating RX Queen into their live set more often it'd be a needed breath of fresh air. It's actually one of the more easy listening songs in their catalog. Why Maverick didn't want this to be a single I'll never know.

This girl recording tho:

[sooniletugo]

Definitely. Rx Queen was the first Deftones song I really got hooked on and still one of my faves. It should be played more regularly.

[DeftonesNZ]

Haha yeah I saw that compilation one earlier but didn't share it here because I didn't want to put you guys through that, that chick is horrible so tonedeaf, but the band sounded on form, here's a video I found of Rocket Skates without an annoying girl yelling.

Yawn, what's this "'#HEAR THE TRUTH" banner above the stage? I'm pretty sure that's the Diamond Eyes font, at least the styling of the 'A', so it must be Deftones related.

It's an ad for JBL headphones.

Deftones - Cherry Waves - Live in Sydney 2014

[play]

Right before they played cherry waves, Chino talked about about how they never like to play stuff from Saturday night wrist as it was a really fucked up time for them. Never heard him say that at a show before. Pretty cool

I'm looking for Area 4 Festival DVD (2009-08-21), anyone?

Deftones planning another U.S tour?

http://www.wolverinekills.com/2014/01/30/deftones-plotting-us-tour/

It's just a rumour but that guy is always 90% right when it comes to touring rumours.

tbh, i don't see it happening. That is unlikely for this band though.
