Tempest video

[rock_n_frost]

Yeah, pretty much all of their videos suck.  I'm of the opinion that most of the time, if not all the time, bands shouldn't be in their videos.  Music videos should be like short films that fit the music.  Why would I want to watch a band miming their songs in some random setting?

Well done, good point.
Its very meaningless when they try to do find a concept for performing.
The song title is ''Hole in the earth'' yeah, lets put them on the space and shot while they playing the song.
Or the lyrics are ''Knives, razors,guns''  let girl put a knife into Chino's pocket.
This is lame.

If you wanna do music video while they are playing, just do it like ''digital bath, beauty school''
Or make it like Team Sleep - Ever video which is pretty acceptable.

But the best choice is 1 band member into a short-movie like music video.

Minerva and Change are great videos.

The video is gonna suck so hard

I'm gonna think optimistic about this video so i won't expect it to suck hard. it probably will suck though, but i'm hopeful it won't be hard. call me naive.
about bloody cape.. the second half of s/t is so dark, ominous and serious. so a girl walking a dog while the band looking at her isn't a good idea to this song i think

The low-tech/low-cost performance style video has a place, mainly when a band is first starting out and has no money/backing support from the label.  Their first couple albums worth of videos are understandable because of this.  I'll even give Change, Minerva, Diamond Eyes, and YSTB grades somewhere in the C to B range.  They're OK but nothing that interesting.  Honestly, the video that's come the closest to matching the vibe of the song is Sextape and it's not even that great of a video (the WP EPK stuff was decent though too).  But thank god they had the foresight of not including their ugly mugs in that video.

I get that the band doesn't like to take themselves too seriously and just wants to have fun with their videos but damn, they're terrible at making videos.

[DenOndaNissen]

All DE videos is pretty good. Definitely the best video album they have made! Just compare those with SNW, Hole in the earth and Mein, those sucked ass from a straw!

On that note, I went along to see the video for 'Mein' again.
Ow dear lord, that video is horrible! Watching them play/perform (in a video) is always nice...but damn, the skyscrapers?! The bouncing cars?!?! And all those people seemingly having seizures (and call it dancing)?!?!?! Horrible! Hah, damn.

Deftones videos arent that all bad, they only got 2 bad videos i think, hole in the earth and mein.. other videos are at least on "ok" category, or above.. ystb bqad, change, minerva is fucking great videos

[xToxin]

I like the hole in the earth video, Chino trained for 2 years to go into space for that video.

Was becoming super fat part of his training?

[rainnyx4]

Yeah, and that's another thing.  This band is way too old, fat, and ugly to be showing themselves in their videos.  They are still making the best music around but their appearances don't really match their sound anymore.  If you're going to try and use yourselves to advertise your music, you better hope that people will actually want to look at you.

[Alectwin]

But, really, who cares about their appereance?!?

[DeftonesNZ]

But, really, who cares about their appereance?!?

Exactly but besides that their looking healthy and happy anyway good for them

[rainnyx4]

But, really, who cares about their appereance?!?

I don't care about their appearance...so much so that I want them to appear in their videos as little as possible.  I'm just saying, if you're going to try and advertise something by showing off your face, it should be good looking.  The guys in this band look kind of haggard to say the least.  I love them but they're not the young and dapper bucks they were in the Adrenaline/ATF-era.

I get what your are saying but i don't think that's is what their trying to do when they show the band performing in the videos i doubt their trying to sell sex i think it's because they what to capture the energy ,my fav videos are the simple of the band performing they capture the energy and feeling of the song better.

[Gee]

Agreed. And I personally love the Rocket Skates video. Beautifully shot.

[rock_n_frost]

Appereance is an important element.
It is just like font type, album artwork,song title of Deftones.

So yes, it is important.
