The setlist... for real?

[Moana91]

What the fck is going on with them just playing 2 songs of Gore on the tour that supposedly is promoting the album?! It's a joke.

What Happened to You?
Around the Fur
Rickets
Rubicon

Those 4 plus MX and Prince being played is very cool, but the rest of the setlist is the saaame batch of songs they've been doing since 2010. How the fck are they not playing their own new shiny baby.

It's been discussed quite a bit here. I have no explanation as to why they are playing two songs from their brand new album. They either do not like the album, do not like the songs, or they cannot pull off the songs in a live setting.

I don't mind those songs you mentioned. WHTY and Rickets and ATF and MX are cool tracks - but I would expect maybe some of these deeper cuts on maybe a SECOND tour after the album was released.

If the set list doesn't change for the "bigger" summer tour, I'm done seeing them live. I've always been against nostalgia tour.

[ZapZaqZap]

I want them to play Gore, AH & LMIRL live pretty bad.

[Lucas_Moreno]

Good question.
I wanna see some live version of "Phantom Bride", this track is gold

[jaypayton]

prolly realized the album was subpar and the songs dont work live (ie: Chino cant pull them off)

I really dont think its fair for the fans too. I wish Chino would get over his distaste of S/T and SNW.  If Jonathan Davis can get through a whole tour playing the whole Korn album which including singing Daddy, Chino can sing those "depressing songs" granted they are depressing, but man....give and take dude

I criticized the set list on Facebook. People didn't like that lol

[kurtone]

If they don't bring it in Europe, I can see the riot

Well according to people on Facebook the band aren't slaves and they don't owe us anything. And make sure to not say anthing about a $50 tank top on their merch store.

Exactly what people say when someone criticises Tool for not bothering to write an album for ten years.

Exactly what people say when someone criticises Tool for not bothering to write an album for ten years.

But the ones they did write... 

I love my Deftones, and they're my favorite band, mainly because they've been consistently really very good over the entire course of their career.  But my favorite albums ever, probably at least the top 10 of them, aren't even from Deftones.  Even so, there's just something that keeps me from placing that band over Deftones..  like they don't have enough albums to warrant that, or they only have a couple good ones then fell off, or they only got good late in their career and the earlier albums aren't my thing, or something else.

Anyway, my point is, Lateralus is one of those albums.  I wouldn't even care if they didn't continue, the 4 full lengths we've got are too fucking perfect as it is.  I'd be worried they would taint their discography if they made another one, then again it would still probably be awesome...

Yeah but people still have every right to criticise a band for going ten years without releasing an album and yet you still get others blaring away "THEY OWE YOU NOTHING, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE BLAH BLAH BLAH." It's just sycophants who don't seem to understand that being critical of a band doesn't mean you're ungrateful. People are more than entitled to say that Deftones should change up the spine of their setlist and play more songs from their new album in the same way that they're entitled to say that Tool should write an album or just stop bothering being a band.

Yep, I agree. People are weird. I don't know if they think that makes them a "true fan," or what... but it's annoying.

[jaypayton]

people have no right to tell a band to release an album..but they have every right to criticize a setlist since the band charges money to see them play.....if they were playing free concerts it would be a different story

Recent interview with Stephen on liquid metal, around the 6 minute mark he addresses the lack of new songs on their setlist

https://youtu.be/0oMcYNP9Skk

[sooniletugo]

Thanks bro. Well I hope they rehearse more new tracks, I'm sure the shows will still be a blast but it's so disappointing when everyone is hyped on the new album and they barely play anything from it, you know. They must realise that.

Still buzzing to see them live for my 3rd time no matter what they play though as I love every 'tones album. And unlike a lot of SL members, I still go nuts for Rocket Skates and Diamond Eyes.

They've been sitting on this album for a year, that isn't really good enough.

[mrpelon94]

he says they have responsibilities now?....well one being in Deftones and keeping it going and fresh..not it being a drag and just play the same set cuz its what they know cmon....i guess they'll change it a much as Steph moves from his stage spot....never.

[jaypayton]

basically steph says in the interview they are bored of playing the same old songs but dont feel like being bothered to get together to rehearse different songs LMAO..maybe Chino could take the time out of his busy schedule fronting 7 other bands???...the guy just admitted they are too lazy to be bothered to change the set,....unreal. if ever there was a death knell for a band...too fucking lazy to be bothered to rehearse...what a joke

[chuckles]

Yeah we all get that... But if chino and Sergio have time to change the colors of their hair & the rest also have time to do whatever they do best... I'm pretty sure they'll find the time to do some rehearsal and bring new stuff to the table...
