Deftones Tour: Live guide + video footage

Geometric Headdress rules bruh

[rufas]

Damn, missed Geometric Headdress. Yeah, he's ignoring his singing quite a lot, his singing is quite off, and he's randomly going off and talking instead. He's obviously having a hell of an awesome time, haha, but as an actual show, it's not their best, not by a long shot. I'm not quite sure why he's gone back to letting Sergio sing a lot of his parts again, but...who knows, maybe he's just having a bad vocal day.

I've come to the conclusion recently that Chino doesn't really treat gigs like performances anymore. He's at a stage where he just goes out there to have fun, enjoy the atmosphere and the songs. That's why their streamed sets very rarely sound that great - because he's not that interested in how he sounds. He jumps about like crazy, he sings too hard, he doesn't hold onto notes or care if he goes flat. As I said, that's probably fine if you're there but it just doesn't sound good at all when you're not.

I think people often mistake it nowadays for his voice being shot but it really isn't. He's just not aiming for perfection, which can be really fucking annoying because he definitely still has the capacity to reach it. If Chino did what Maynard does and just stood there and concentrated on singing properly with precision, he would nail every song. I'm confident of that.

I have to really agree with this.

Anyone who wants to hear a relatively recent and stunning vocal performance should listen to the Team Sleep Woodstock sessions. He slayed every song, obviously restraining himself, it's apparent from the first lines of Your Skull is Red how composed Chino is in contrast to recent deftones shows.

I watched the whole Riot Fest show and I'll just say this : Deftones is probably the only band with a bassist singing more and with better technique than the lead singer. Oh, and Geometric Headdress is not a fucking song.

Geometric Headdress isn't a song? Lol what?

Maybe he meant that it's not a song to fuck to?

[sooniletugo]

It definitely is.

I love that they're playing Digital Bath second. And seem to play hearts/Wires again. Diamond, Digital, Kim, Gore. Boom what a way to kick off a show.

Got a question. Deftones tickets are on presale at the moment. The seats are straight ass and i dont really want to purchase these lame tickets. My question is, do you guys think theyll have better seats tomorrow once they officially go on sale for general public? Thanks guys.

Depends what you consider to be good seats. How soon did you check the tickets after the presale went online? It's possible the best seats have simply been taken, but I'd say since the majority of the seats aren't available until general release, you'll have better luck finding good seats then.

There is no such thing as a "good seat" at a live show. If there's seats, they're bad. GA or bust!

Obviously GA field is best, but even at a venue like most outdoor pavilions where it's got seats up front and lawn in back, I'll take lawn over seats any day.

i really want to hear Rapture played live again, i love that song.i think it's been a while for that one, but the new setlists are awesome.

Last time was 2009, It would be a powerful opener.

Let's see!

From the new album, Geometric Headdress, (L)MIRL and Acid Hologram. In general? God, I don't know, so many songs. Any of the less commonly-played songs would be awesome, of course.

Abe and Stef said they'd be up for playing Smile so I'd like that.

They're always up for playing different things but I'll bet things are mostly on Chino's approval.

Yeah! We need new setlists !!!
