Q&A with Deftones.

[XJohnnyX]

meh, am I the only one who finds it kinda douchey to do a Q&A, then wait 5 mins between answering questions and only answering the obvious ones with no more than 4 or 5 words? way to reach out to the fans, guys.

probably some old fart from management sitting there anyway, while the band is out getting drunk.

yea i am getting the that same feeling answering dumb questions

I think they just meant "it's about waiting for the right time". with the possibility of there never being one.

Deftones
@deftones
@Luisch He asked and we were stoked. It was a heavy moment.

[Visitant]

I don't know what's worse, the fuckin horrible grammar in the question or the response, Jesus...

@lotusteph88
#AskDeftones I want to know about rosemary song in this new album inspiration?? @deftones

Deftones@deftones
@lotusteph88 Time travel.

What's wrong with the response?

[Jacob]

and the last 10 mins they're just gonna sit there silently.

this was so fucking lame.

[chinomoreno876]

Ok that q and a was horrible!!!

[sing blue silver]

Yeah this was pretty goddamn weak.

[White Wrist]

so...this is it?

[sing blue silver]

So I guess it's over? That was the worst q&a I've ever seen. Only new info was they plan on adding more SNW songs live, Eros may never be released, Pink Maggit may happen live someday and they don't care much for us here at SL. That took an hour...

I've always has the impression that they're not very talkative and kinda drawn back. lately Chino has started being a bit more comfortable in interviews though, it seems.

but doing something like this and then being total asses about it is a kinda different matter. I don't mind them being cynical punks though, hell my favorite musician is Mike Patton and he invented being cynical in interviews. but at least he made it fun and entertaining, these guys just don't give a fuck. wasting fans time, more or less.

[nicklav]

At least they answered the SL questions.

[pissedandpierced]

And at least they answered Vesanic's questions, it was nice to see some sort of love to at least one if us from here.

Steph is a legend if you can get the time to hang out with him, I just think they hate the internet and same old, lame ass questions. I always remember Steph saying in an interview that he could care less about the songs they write, since they're just that... songs and he gets bored of them.

Saying that, I don't think I've ever heard the band thank the fans for anything probably other than the love and support for Chi, so I guess they come off pretty smug.

I've met stef and I wouldn't have said that he was a legend.

What was your experience with him then? cause I had a brilliant one to be honest, even though he's cynical as fuck.

Just because they didn't answer your hundred thousand questions? lol

Stephen is the shit, and he can be very bold in his statements, he doesnt hold back and you know he means it.. Or he's completely fucking with you for some laughs lol Abe is very outgoing, and he likes to be a bit sarcastic and joke around as mentioned, but he can be very personable with his conversations.. I get the down to earth vibe from Stephen, Abe, and Frank. As for Sergio, I only met him during the DE tour and he seemed rather reserved but excited to be around fans... After all, they're just humans like you and I, they get annoyed and overwhelmed by the same old monotonous questions and routines, you would too if you been doing this since 1989. For a lot of you who haven't met them, the one that's most disappointing is Chino. For the last two decades he's dealt with floods of fans bombarding him, and for Chino it probably does get old. Yes, he will sign your stuff, say a few words, but over all he's reserved and just wants to get his job done and get to the next city, show, event, recording session, or in his case, home. That's just my 2 cents of rant on these guys.

Welcum back, mate!

[Inkblades]

You know, a couple of years ago I probably would have been all over this Q&A session with a lot of fanboy questions. But, in 2012, there's nothing I really want to ask them. They give me music and that's it. Nothing more and nothing less.
