Yeah, I took my wife to a show in Atlantic City a few years ago and she almost got trampled on the very first note of the very first song.  It was kind of funny actually...  She's kind of petite, so she couldn't handle it.

Everyone was just standing there with the regular lights on cheering...  Then all of sudden the whole room just went totally black, couldn't see a thing, everyone went totally silent, and then BOOM comes in the first note of Diamond Eyes right as the show lights came on and everyone was all over the place.

I was at this show and that's 100% accurate. It was brutal in there. My girlfriend didn't make it through diamond eyes before retreating to the bar with other friends

Sick of seeing comments from fans trashing the new album and following it up with "I can see why stephen carpenter wasn't happy with this album either." The media really blew the whole thing out of proportion, and people don't care enough to read beyond the headlines. Or maybe they did but just want to spin it their own way so they can say "Yeah, even Stephen agrees with me that this album sucks!" Was it all a publicity stunt by Deftones? Nah, I doubt it. But Steph is all over this album, and he clearly stated (in the same interview I think) that he was happy with the end result. If you just want to listen to Meshuggah, go listen to them. I don't care if people aren't feeling the new album, but so many of these comments are straight up bullshit, and they act like the band owes them. When it's the other way round if anything.

This doesn't apply to anyone here. Even those who aren't big on the new album have been decent and fair about it. I'm just seeing these same comments every time I look at Deftones posts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc over the last few weeks.

I made a whole post about my feelings towards that. They took his words out of context. I will say this though, this album, i hear steph alot i really do and i love it. And i know steph likes the album yes i know that too, but in my opinion, this isnt a deftones record, its more of a chino moreno album. Thats just me though, love the music and i love what stephen put down

I feel ya. I was pleasantly surprised with how dark this was though, compared to what I was expecting. Definitely 'darker' than the last two albums at least although it all seems to be subjective.

A little late on this, but the chorus on P/T on Jimmy Kimmel was great. You hear way more Frank. The music sounded much better.

I've never been a fan of watching them on TV. The soundboard recordings never compare to when you're there, but damn, that chorus was huge.

They sounded awesome on both songs.

Looking forward to hearing more from this album live.

If they play GH at the Philly show I'll be satisfied.

Anyone notice how much Chino sounds like Bjork on the song gore? It's exactly how she would sing the verses.

If you actually listen to Björk (as I do, huge fan), i hear the most Björk influence (vocally) on Pittura Infamante during the little gtr breakdown part. Stylistically, it's spot on

Doesn't even make sense. They obviously know the song, but they don't know the title? It's not like Deftones are played on the radio all the time, either. You'd know the song by either listening to Diamond Eyes or watching the music video. Maybe the person's friends played the song to them or some shit. I think people are just oblivious to pesky formalities like song titles.

Lol, I was at the Amoeba show talking to some dude about how much we liked Gore. Then when they started playing Rubicon, he looks at me confused and says "Which song is this?" I'll cut him some slack though, because the album did just come out. Maybe he hasn't been listening to it obsessively like the rest of us.

Theres alot of fans in mexico who actually do this. They get the titles wrong or dont know the titles at all, they just say what the chorus says and you know what it is lol
