I'm interviewing Chino (and band?) - Give me your questions!

[Styleee]

Thanks all for the questions!!  Between you guys and my friend I've got a good list.

Feel free to add any others... I'll be checking this again Tuesday.

I'll let you know how it goes and will post a link to the video interview when it's done. (After Thanksgiving)

Thanks again!

so did the interview ever happen?

[Vesanic]

Tell him to get back into being shitfaced, then dwell on how much Chi's absence is hurting him then get the rest of the band as fucked up then write an album.

[cEvin Key]

Ask him about the M83 Collaboration? I rememberer about some pictures about the deftones and m83 in a studio in france...did anything happened with that or was it just a typical deftones waste of time???

Ask him why they haven't made a decent album in almost a decade

Seriously why are you here?

[from_musings]

ask if steph is tired of being in the band since he didn't do one interview for the kny record and because the riffs he brought to the album was mega lazy

Probably because Chino ends up answering all the questions, I'm pretty he did an interview with ultimate guitar and some of the magazine stuff though

For you what is the perfect moment and place to write lyrics? day/night/in the studio/rehearsing/alone/with the band.

I really like this one.

Dude, people ask him about the lyrics all the time. They have for years. I love chino's lyrics but it's a topic that's been pretty much well covered in past interviews. Do some research and you'll find the answers you want rather than asking another boring question/variation of a question he's answered a million times.

Yeah i remember seeing him being asked a similar question about how he writes he said there was no particular time or place he writes he said he just does it whenever he gets inspired whether be in the studio after hearing the actual music or when he's just by himself

to ask the hard hitting questions...but seriously, even the band's gone on record saying they werent thrilled with a couple of them so get over yourself

I'm just surprised you have so much free time you continue to follow a band who hasn't been good in a decade according to you

Artists are even less objective than their fans when it comes to their releases. They can be, at any rate.

in the ultimate guitar interview he doesn't talk about kny, he talks about guitars. He ends the interview with something like "we will be releasing a new album in late summer for those who are interested" but that's the only thing I've heard him say about on the album.hopefully there's something more out there i haven't heard bc i think the founder of the band really should say something more about a new record, not just mention it once

[DeftonesNZ]

Yeah he should i would like to hear more from him he usually does interesting interviews Chino always seems to get asked the same questions so he gives the same responses,Maybe it was to do with the record company they might have just made Chino do them because he's like the face of the band.

I think Stephen likes to let the music speak for itself. He's never been the biggest fan of interviews and he accepts Chino is the mouthpiece of the band that most of the press want to talk to. Judging from the smile on his face when they play live, he's very happy with the new material and enjoying being part of the band. He just chooses not to do the whole press thing. Can't say I blame him. I think KNY is some of his best guitar playing by the way.

Gauze and Poltergeist have some especially kickass riffs, IMO.
