that was a great question, Ves.

They still didn't say if they would play it live.

[Vesanic]

Nope, he didn't.

[nicklav]

Is anyone cataloging the responses?

#ASKDEFTONES what would the adrenaline-deftones think of the koi no yokan-deftones? #ASKDEFTONES
Deftones
@deftones
@Morales138 That's a great question. I would hope they would be proud. If not, we'd jump them!
@brunogildo
#ASKDEFTONES Koi No Yokan sounds like a mix of your past albuns. Was that the intention?
Deftones
@deftones
@brunogildo Not at all, but at the same time how could it not?
@liquidsky
#ASKDEFTONES You just played in South America (but not in Brazil,unfortunatelly),any chances of coming back next year? #ASKDEFTONES
Deftones

@MixEngineerJC
#AskDeftones what are some of the advantages of working with Nick R. Opposed to Terry Date? @deftones
Deftones
@deftones
@MixEngineerJC It's just a different thing, but we love them both.
@Vesanic
Why didn't Lovers make it to the self-titled record? Ever thought about playing it live? #ASKDEFTONES

@sheaitaintso: #AskDeftones Was 'Prince' from Diamond Eyes supposed to be a sequel to 'Rx Queen'?
Deftones
@deftones
@Diibitz No, stay off the forums.
@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
@seanmck75
Evening guys! Is there a particular place you enjoy going to most when on the road, crowd and sights? #AskDeftones

@SaraKazzz
You have both the 'older' generation and the new generation as fans. What are the differences between both in your eyes? #ASKDEFTONES
Deftones
@deftones
@SaraKazzz Not much. A lot of people like us for a lot of reason, and we appreciate it all.

@Vesanic
Will you ever play Pink Maggit live again? It would close your sets in a majestic way. #ASKDEFTONES

@Vesanic One day, with practice.

[Vesanic]

Lol indeed.
