Q&A with Deftones.

[ShadowScars]

Ask where the hell the Tempest video is and whether or not they're releasing the bonus track cover songs.

[only pieces remain]

they are not releasing any any bonus material. the tracks WERE NEVER RECORDED. Don't people listen?

[deftoolsys07]

I'm not going to ask about the video because it will come out in soon anyway. But yeah I was going to ask what the deal is with the covers anyway. I am going to make an Earth Wind and Fire suggestion, too haha...

[deftoolsys07]

they are not releasing any any bonus material. the tracks WERE NEVER RECORDED. Don't people listen?

They weren't recorded, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they won't ever do them. I think at this point, yeah it might be too late, the albums already out and so they might think "why bother" but you never know.

...

Right, they're here in D-Town TX baby! That's twice in a row that we've been lucky to have them here on the day of the album release. Hoping that they might play the album front to back tomorrow night but we'll have to see. I'll recommend it but that's obviously totally on them. They might not really be able to pull off a few of those songs live.

Edit: and it's 3:30 PM here so it should be another half hour until it starts.

[scatterbrain]

Starts in 12 minutes.

[deftoolsys07]

Starts in 12 minutes.

Are you serious dude? It starts in 5 minutes...

[scatterbrain]

At the time it was 12 minutes.1 minute now,watch it start late.

[only pieces remain]

[deftoolsys07]

Ha I know man I'm just messing with ya

[Jacob]

man, these questions are boring. I don't use twitter, or I'd ask why the hell they don't have SL accounts. and if they will ever play Combat live again.

[m1nusblindfoLd]

@tony_mass
There weren't any collaborations w/ other artists on the last two records. Was that a conscious decision, or any other reason?
Deftones
@deftones
@tony_mass These tend to be natural occurrences, and it just didn't come up
