deftones

[Nincy Face]

so does anyone else like them?

i love their music and i think the white pony album is best.

especially songs such as change(in the house of flies) and passenger are awesome!

[adamirl]

i agree, deftones rock! favourite song is head up tho ;)

[inn]

Yep white pony defo a bril album, mm passenger :D

[brokenbliss]

White Pony album kicks ass and Change (In The House Of Flies) is the best song.

[Nat]

Yup Deftones surely do rock!

[sergio]

i love their music, too...but i have to admit, that their live show is not as good as their albums...they surely rock, but there is no difference between 2 shows.
and their sound is (somehow) not too good, i think.

what's your opinion about their shows ?

[inn]

Havent seen them live, though i could have catched them at the download fest last yr. Did anyone see them then?

[Thessi]

like the deftones very much indeed ! their music is unique, compared to other nu-metal stylee bands out there (sorry, am not trying to label!!). i like adrenaline or around the fur ... i haven't decently got into their new one or white pony.....

[adamirl]

i saw em at glasgow last year, they kicked ass, biffy were supporting that night

[Powerhouse Goatlord]

i agree, deftones rock! favourite song is head up tho ;)

What he said :D

Deftones are my favourite band along with muse. Infact I find my mind in conflict as to who is better. I only recently decided Matt was superior to Chino Moreno.

[Black Velvet]

First I ahve to thank Vince for givin me songs from The Deftones. ANd I must say I like them. hey rock, not as much as muse of course, but they are very good.

[brokenbliss]

Well then I'd like to thank myself for getting myself into the Deftones :D

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Gotta love Change (in the House of Flies).

[Thessi]

Gotta love Change (in the House of Flies).
that song really gets under the skin! Chino is a very passionate singer, that song is a great example of that.
i have a fab vid of them performing that one live.

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Ooh, really? I first heard it in Queen of the Damned :o , but I didn't realise it was them until they played it on Mtv2 Live. Now I love them. :D

[BeautifulOtherness]

Yeah, I love Deftones :)
White Pony is def. their best :)

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Yeah, I love Deftones :)
White Pony is def. their best :)

But all the songs are played in dropped-C tuning, which discourages me.
Probably just as well. :LOL:

[JimmyStyle]

Yeh, I listen to them a bit.

Can't say I love them, but they're pretty decent imo.

[MyRibItsBroke]

they have been my favorite band since i was like 13, and i'm almost 18 now.

i've seen em twice, in 2001 and last november. both shows were good, chino was right on. although i've heard several recordings where chino has not been able to sing so clearly, both times i saw them was perfection.

[MyRibItsBroke]

But all the songs are played in dropped-C tuning, which discourages me.
Probably just as well. :LOL:

from what i know, i don't think white pony was in dropped-C tuning actually.

the thing that discouraged me was that stef used a 7-string on the newest album :confused:

[theimpressiveclergyman]

:eek: Whoever told me that LIED to me!! *scandalised*

[MyRibItsBroke]

:eek: Whoever told me that LIED to me!! *scandalised*

i know that adrenaline used standard tuning and stef tuned down half a step for around the fur and another half for white pony.

so around the fur would've been in E sharp and white pony in D. if i know my music right. and it's possible that i don't.

[MusEsuM]

Ive just started getting into the deftones this year i bought white pony and love it! Knife party my favourite song at the moment. i also love passenger, its cool how mannyard james kennan (is that how u spell his name?) sings on the track.

[kev]

:eek: Whoever told me that LIED to me!! *scandalised*

no you were right atleast if memory serves me right. first album was drop D second album drop Db third drop C and then they went to drop Cb to the back to school single.

[theimpressiveclergyman]

no you were right atleast if memory serves me right. first album was drop D second album drop Db third drop C and then they went to drop Cb to the back to school single.

Fair enough.

[MyRibItsBroke]

no you were right atleast if memory serves me right. first album was drop D second album drop Db third drop C and then they went to drop Cb to the back to school single.
i know for sure adrenaline is in standard tuning.

[bucephalus()]

the b-side sinatra is probably my favourite song

[MyRibItsBroke]

it's not a b-side, it's a cover

originally by helmet

[madmouse]

Helmet! have the best numbers to jam too

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Got White Pony. :D

Elite is a bit too death metal for my taste, but the rest is great.

[inn]

deftones death metal? noooo :p

change is just beautiful, had anyone seen this sorta promo vid thing for white pony where its like a mini film with lots of strange things happening and clips of the band performing samples of songs off it?

[MyRibItsBroke]

yeah it's weird as hell, it's supposed to be like the future. everyone has to wear gas masks because the air quality is so poor. and that old guy is trying to escape from it all and they just end up beating him or whatever. weird shit.

anyway, they've got someone besides terry date producing the new album. bob ezrin. he's done stuff with pink floyd, this should be interesting. US tour in october/november. ;)

[theimpressiveclergyman]

deftones death metal? noooo :p

That's what I thought... O_o

When I listened to knife party I thought I'd flipped completely and Chino was doing the background vocals. :eek:

The second vocalist on Passenger sounds a bit familiar... Anyone know where he's from?

[MyRibItsBroke]

that's maynard from tool/a perfect circle

[inn]

blah they should come back to the UK, they did a date with a perfect circle and that would have been sooooo good to see.

and ahhhs so that's what it's about, I thought that maybe the air thingys were like some sort of drug everyones breathing in

[inn]

That's what I thought... O_o

When I listened to knife party I thought I'd flipped completely and Chino was doing the background vocals. :eek:

The second vocalist on Passenger sounds a bit familiar... Anyone know where he's from?

i didn't realise that maynard sang on passenger! either, and knife prty has that long vocal bg bit doesnt it?

[the italian mafia]

i like deftones, but all their songs sound similar

[MyRibItsBroke]

i like deftones, but all their songs sound similar

listen to "elite" and then listen to "teenager" and tell me that again

[inn]

listen to "elite" and then listen to "teenager" and tell me that again

*agrees*

[Thessi]

i didn't realise that maynard sang on passenger! either, and knife prty has that long vocal bg bit doesnt it?
Passenger :) Hmmmm what a song. Maynard's and Chino's voices really do mix well.

The Boy's Republic is a fantastic one too. Those loooooooooooooooong vocals and ssighs. :happy:

[inn]

Passenger :) Hmmmm what a song. Maynard's and Chino's voices really do mix well.



Yes that song is the sex, :happy:

[Bloody Cape]

All Deftones songs are Amazing, it's the pure energy !
I love The old songs more than the new ones !

Be quiet and drive the best song ever ! :cool:

[Gemsy]

I was bored last night so I rinsed out 3 Deftones albums in a row, and I one-man-moshed around my bedroom.
:D
duh-duh-duh-duhduhduh.
Many riffses are in my head.
Chino pwns.

[Gemsy]

that's maynard from tool/a perfect circle
*comes*
Passenger is a choon almighty.

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Be Quiet And Drive is the most addictive song ever.

[skizofrenica]

YAY! much respect for those who listen to the deftones! *bows*
I think their best album is WP... but it doesn't mean I don't like the other 4(5, mini maggit). There are some serious killer tracs on adrenaline but around the fur is perfect. be quiet and drive is awesome. It reminds me of summer and I listen a lot to it in winters :happy:

are there any other dvd's than the hawaii one? I haven't found any.

[skinnypuppy]

are there any deftones fans on this board? I've been a fan for a while now, I'm definitely looking forward to their new CD and the Taste of Chaos tour. After the Taste of Chaos tour, they're going to EU for a massive tour, then back to the US to do a club tour. I'm going to two Taste of Chaos shows. I'm also looking forward to seeing Thrice and Dredg on the tour.

these pages have official info if anyones wants to know more

[uka]

Yeah I'm pretty excited to hear the new album as well and I really hope they will be at Werchter this year, but I somehow doubt it

I liked the recent b-sides and rarities too...

[LaLa_Schifrin]

are there any deftones fans on this board?
Yes. what? :D

[christoph]

I wish I could see them live just once.

[christoph]

Teenager and Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event are two of the most beautiful songs ever made.

[expanding_universe]

Be Quiet And Drive is the most addictive song ever.

Heck yes.
I havent listened to this band in ages but they were one of the first bands I got into when I stopped listening to pop. Pink Maggit is 7 minutes of pure bliss.

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

I love the new song.

www.myspace.com/deftones

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

..new album is great.

[christoph]

is it on oink?

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Of course.

[0ptriX]

I love Hole In The Earth.

Chino's gotten big again. :0

[Clunge]

Ooohhh, SNW is funky!

I love Beware.

[Velouria]

SNW is pretty grand.

"U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,Select,Start" really sounds a bit like something off The Cure's "Disintegration".

[Oprah Noodlemantra]

Love the Deftones. I was kind of dissapointed with SNW on the first listen, but on repeated listens its really grown on me. I'd put it up there as probably their second best album - after White Pony of course. They'll never top that one i don't think

Out of the SNW tracks, Xerces wins for most repeated plays. Such a beautiful song

[Keys]

Ooooh i didnt know they were back, hole in the earth sounds good, where are others?

[Zee Deveel]

Ooooh i didnt know they were back, hole in the earth sounds good, where are others?

Pink Cellphone :LOL:

Erm I'll upload the album if you like.

[Keys]

Pink Cellphone :LOL:

Erm I'll upload the album if you like.
Yey

Pink cellphone.. :LOL:

[inn]

Just to let everyone know that there are tickets on sale for a uk tour :)

Plus has anyone heard the new album yet, and what they think of it?

[Nincy Face]

so does anyone else like them?

i love their music and i think the white pony album is best.

especially songs such as change(in the house of flies) and passenger are awesome!
Aww, I wrote this when I still spelled like Kev. :happy:

[Morning_View]

I think the new album is far better than the self title they brought out last time but i don't think they will ever get back to how they were pre white pony. That's when they were on top form

[BlackoutMatt]

White Pony = the best.

yay, I bought my ticket yesterday! Piccadilly Box Office rather than pre-sale on Thursday, £14, minus p&p/service charges...go me!

[Gemsy]

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250061169544

buy my patches lol <3

[Bradass]

I only ever liked the song "Passenger" but Saturday Night Wrist is an excellent album, especially Hole in the Earth, Beware, Cherry Waves and Xerces.

I'm going to see them on March 14th at Rock City in Nottingham.

[inn]

Man I still need to hear the new album, apprently it's v unlike anything they've done before so I hear. And it's kinda v like passenger which is great, cause I love that song :happy:

[Keys]

Whats the album called? Me wants

[Bradass]

Whats the album called? Me wants

Saturday Night Wrist.
It's excellent.

[Keys]

Saturday Night Wrist.
It's excellent.
Thanks

[Keys]

Omg hole in the earth is the best song EVER

[inn]

I wanna hear the new album! :(

[Wowee Zowee]

I wanna hear the new album! :(
But it in Tescos.

[Canadian]

I've been listening to alot of Deftones lately. :happy: New and Old.

I've had Cherry Waves stuck in my head all day today.

[Blue Death]

We have to accept Chino has the best lyrics... Deftones: simply incredible and amazing......... and the mosnt beautiful is they're coming to Colombia on February 6th 07..... I'll die for 2nd time..... :) :D

[Nikora]

Gutted I have to put up with them if I want to see Mnemic :LOL:

Sorry, I've tried, they do nothing for me. I can't stand Chino's vocals.

[Zee Deveel]

Passenger :happy:

Fucking love this song.

[Teh Man v1.2]

New album is fucking attrocious. Only marginally better than the last. Not saying much either. White Pony is where it was at.

Fuck this trend-hopping band that they are now.

[christoph]

i don't think they sound anything like any of the current trends? what are you referring to?

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

They wear black ALL the time.

[Steven_K]

i'm gonna see them at the Manchester Academy on Sunday

[Bradass]

I'm seeing them on Wednesday in Nottingham.

[inn]

Well that was a bloody good gig!

Esp with passenger, phowerrr. Crowd were mental, thank god I was watching from a safe spot

[Nikora]

What were Mnemic like?

[inn]

Alright, just like any band I would expect to see play download or something ha

[Hullmetrylution]

What were Mnemic like?

Are they that band signed on nuclear blast? I remember them being on one of the nuclear blast dvds I think, the song on there was decent.

[Judderman]

i went to see em at manch academy, they were alright.... i was kinda dragged their, not being much of a fan of their music (well not being a fan at all) i actually enjoyed the show, it twasnt tooo bad!
si

[ann_chun]

deftones is a great band. Minerva and change are my favs. i luv how his voice "echoes" and the lyrics are pretty deep.

[Clunge]

Around The Fur <3.

[Martin]

The first album (Adrenaline I think) and the 2nd were good. then it was just more boring nu metal wang :\

[Milky Joe]

No. White Pony is amazing, and Pink Maggit is their best song imo.

[New Born Lee]

There's something I don't like about deftones. Just their overall sound doesn't gel with me.

[Gemsy]

<3

[Mneme]

Ah, here's the proper thread. :p

Recommend an album? I seem to remember something like White Horse?

[Repeaterbeater]

Ah, here's the proper thread. :p

Recommend an album? I seem to remember something like White Horse?

You mean White Pony? Yeah, get that. Legend of album. And then you can try Saturday Night Wrist, their latest ;)

[Clunge]

NOOO.

Start with Around The Fur, srsly.

[Martin]

Adrenaline -> Around the Fur -> White Pony

I think the only song I'd still listen to on White pony is change(house of flies)

[InsertCreativeNameHere]

Been trying to get into them so I got Saturday Night Wrist. I thought it was okay, but I need to listen more. They kind of reminded me of Tool.

I'm still in a state of shock about Pink Cellphone :LOL:

[Clunge]

Saturday Night Wrist was a disappointment imo.

I need to get White Pony.

[Nimpo46]

Everyone in Sacramento tries to sound just like Deftones... and it usually turns out really bad.

But the Deftones themselves are really good haha.

They started out as a reggae band lol

[guitarchaeologist]

New album is coming this year, yeah?

So...I've been on a major kick this week. Does their music make anyone else...uh, turned on? :unsure:

Their stuff is just dreamy. :happy:

What a coincidence, I read somewhere that they are genre'd as dream-pop or dream-rock, or dream-something.

:unsure:

[Carlo von Sexron]

I absolutely love the B Sides and Rarities album. Track 13 especially, I think it's called the cheuffeur. So moving.

There'll be at least 1 good song. Like "Hole in the Earth."

[Clunge]

Deftones have that inexplicable 'sexy' factor that NIN's early work does. S'awesome :cool:.

[Milky Joe]

There'll be at least 1 good song. Like "Hole in the Earth."

Beware is quality as well.

[Phill]

Yeah Hole In The Earth was the gem on SNW.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB0LMZOPsA4

[Milky Joe]

I'm not convinced yet. I reckon it will grow on me, and maybe the so called "Up tempo" album will work will within the context of other albums, but it's not exactly the Deftones I know and love.

[Clunge]

I love it, really strong comeback song :yesey:.

[Milky Joe]

I'm really looking forward to their new album anyway. And their performance at Download. And any London gig they may do as warm up (if any)

[Repeaterbeater]

How fucking good is the new album!! :happy:

[nick913]

I downloaded it yesterday, and will be listening today. Yikes though, to say it's their best, don't get my hopes up too high. If it's anywhere near as good as White Pony I'll be happy.

[dip]

are deftones any good?

[MusoCuts]

Wow it sounds great, good album i think

time to go check out this album.

yay for deftones :happy:

[Milky Joe]

are deftones any good?

:rolleyes:

Just checked out the new album and it's really good. It seems simpler than their other stuff, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, more like they wanted to convey a mood and just wacked it out. I can definitely hear some influence of Chi's comatose state in the sentiments of some of the songs.

it was a serious question. Should I invest some time in checking them out/ where should I start?

[Milky Joe]

Listen to White Pony and Around the Fur. The new album's pretty accessible too :)

And yes, you should definitely invest some time, they're amazing.

[AchtungMuse]

White Pony is one of my favorite albums.

[Phill]

New album sounded great on first listen. Will see how it goes after a few listens!

I've listened to it 3 times now!

It's been ages since I relistened to an album like that (last time was probably In Rainbows by Radiohead). I'm loving it :D

[Apocalyptic Gerbil]

The new album is brilliant, loving Sextape! :happy:

I've been resisting the temptation to download the leak to Diamond Eyes. I love Deftones too much to spoil March 4th when it comes out.
So far though, loving Rocket Skates and Diamond Eyes (song)! :)

Get well Chi :)

[ninsp]

Diamond Eyes is better than White Pony. They jammed the guitar tone from Adrenaline (yes, that muffled sound) with the atmosphere of White Pony, and hit MIX!

CMND/CTRL is insanely angry and amazing, You've Seen the Butcher is just...incredible, Beauty School is the best of White Pony...


BEST Deftones album.

Ok...

But I listened to White Pony, and it is another level of awesomeness imo. I would go as far as saying that Diamond Eyes is their second best album though :)

[Milky Joe]

"UK fans: Keep your eyes peeled for a very special Deftones show to be announced soon with tickets available... "

Tiny bit worried, because it's clearly going to be in June, and I have a pretty fucking hectic schedule as it is

May 29th - Slam Dunk
June 1st - Alkaline Trio
2nd - Exam
4th - Pixies
6th - Rage Against the Machine
7th - Exam

Hopefully it's after the 7th (or on the 7th :))

May 12th, that's not too bad. I have an essay due in on the 10th, so that will be done, and one on the 17th, so no real problems there.

Get tickets quickly, ULU is pretty small.

[Clunge]

Finally, it's leaked properly.

Got a nice hour train ride in a tad to give it a good review, Diamond Eyes and Rocket Skates are fantastic so my hopes are high, and the reviews are good too :happy:.

What you mean it's leaked properly. The version I have sounds fine

[Clunge]

V0 rip on Waffles, the 320 one circling is a transcode. Anal, I know, but shush :p.

Anyhoo, it's feckin' excellent. You've Seen The Butcher is a masterpiece.

Yup!

That, Beauty School and Sex Tape are highlights of the album along with Diamond Eyes and Rocket Skates :)

[Clunge]

Insanely good album, really keeps growing on me.

Brutal opening, and then some great heavy/ambient pieces, picks up again with Rocket Skates and then Sextape and Risk bring the mood down again nicely.

Fantastic album, really well measured, good balance of heavy/melancholy/ambient and a well considered tracklist.

[ninsp]

switching command! just because i can!

[Astronoma]

Loving the new album, top notch.

[Ally101]

Loving the new album, top notch.

I concur! On par with White Pony, perhaps?

[ninsp]

yes.

[Gretterati]

I am loving Diamond Eyes :o so far the title track is my favorite but I haven't given all of them a thorough listening yet. But yes, I think this one is on par with White Pony.

[Milky Joe]

People keep saying Diamond Eyes is as good as White Pony, sometimes better, but that's just their heart speaking. I love the album, but you listen to the two of them back to back and then tell me which is better.

Diamond Eyes, by a country-mile.

Fo' sure.

[Sondy]

Finally got a chance to listen to Diamond Eyes over the weekend and I really liked it. I am going to have to listen a few more times to form a proper opinion of it. Now I just need to buy tickets this week so I can go see them May 21st. I didn't even realize they were coming so close to where I live! :D

[seregon]

Definitely old school Deftones coming out to play :happy: Loving it so far

[Velouria]

Amazon needs to hurry up and deliver it, along with my Auf Der Maur album. :(

[Ally101]

Don't you hate it when you recommend a band to someone and they don't like them and start criticising the song? I played my friend Diamond Eyes (the song) and they expressed their disliking for it a little too much! :'(
NO MATTER! Deftones will always be close to my heart, even when idiots don't understand them...
I hope the band come to London in autumn or winter.

[Milky Joe]

I'm seeing them on Wednesday in London. Did no one else get tickets?

[Olly.]

Love diamond eyes

[Milky Joe]

Back from the ULU gig. Fucking incredible. I think the setlist was identical to this one from Paris: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/deftones/2010/la-boule-noire-paris-france-6bd4e2d6.html

Imo, just needed Bored and Nosebleed in place of When Girls Telephone Boys and Around the Fur, and it would have been perfect. Oh and Digital Bath. Literally couldn't ask for any more, they packed in some of my favourites (Knife Party, Passenger and Lotion) that I really wasn't expecting.

Also I found out just as I was leaving for the gig that it was supposed to start at 8, and my train arrived at Victoria (3 stations away) at 8:07. Due to a mix of running and fast walking I managed to make it in the middle of Rocket Skates, the first song, and have a piss before Diamond Eyes had started :D I'd have been gutted if I missed Knife Parfty and Passenger.

[Clunge]

My oh my, that's a good setlist - all my favourites in there from the new album and the likes of Minerva, Around The Fur, My Own Summer and Lotion :happy:.

Really wish I could have made it but Uni fecked that right up, same goes for this Muse gig in Paris :(.

[MusoCuts]

O_o aaaah they played Passenger :'( i want to hear it right now ! very good setlist. Miss This place is death, my favorite song of the Diamond Eyes i guess :awesome: You're lucky to see them

[Sondy]

Was thinking the same thing about the setlist. Hearing My Own Summer live would bring back so many :awesome::party::\mm/: memories! 8 days until I get to see them!

[Billy]

Their new album is a masterpiece, anyone on these boards who hasn't listened to it... GO!

[Veronica_cy]

I finally got to listen to the new album for the first time the other day. Having only heard White Pony and Around the Fur, I can't say I'm a huge Deftones fan, but seriously, Diamond Eyes is ridiculously good. Favourite tracks are probably Risk, You've Seen The Butcher, Beauty School.. Easily just as good as White Pony.

[ninsp]

I think it's better than White Pony. So much aggression yet the softer, mellow tracks are their best. Idk. It's awesome.

[Mark]

Just got 'Diamond Eyes' after a massive delay. Can't say I'm a fan, haven't listened to enough stuff, I just really like their singles, but listening to 'Diamond Eyes', this album is actually incredible. Definitely considering getting the discog now, 'Prince', 'Risk', 'Royal' and 'Rocket Skates' are just incredible

Well yeah, make sure you listen to White Pony if you haven't already. Imo they don't have that much to offer outside White Pony, Diamond Eyes and their singles (which is plenty).

[Clunge]

WHAT!?!?!?

Diamond Eyes is deifnitely my favourite album of theirs but there's so much more than just that and White Pony - the s/t album is amazing and Around The Fur is an unbelievably good album as well!

[cheddatom]

Around the Fur is fucking great.

[MattXXI]

All of their albums are fantastic, though their self-titled one just drags sometimes. I only really like two songs from it.

[Martin]

I was listening to their first three albums again. I was totally wrong about White Pony, I love it.

They're all great, just the odd track here and there I can't be fucked with.

[Milky Joe]

WHAT!?!?!?

I'm not a fan of Around the Fur at all, apart from a few standout tracks, and I like Adrenaline a lot, but again, only half the tracks standout for me.

I guess what I meant to say was that Deftones are pretty hit and miss. At their best they are sublime, but they can be pretty poor. Imo, once you know the best songs off Deftones and Saturday Night Wrist, there's no reason to listen to the rest of those albums.

[Clunge]

Saturday Night Wrist is the only album of theirs that I will agree with you on in that regard, not a great album that but the rest of their output is very consistent imho.

Around The Fur in particular.

[Repeaterbeater]

passenger is still their 2nd best song

[Repeaterbeater]

[Jacky Boy]

Fuck sake, put the tickets on sale when I've got no money :(

[Milky Joe]

Sorry. Seems there are a lot of disappointed people about this, as well as Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Fuck sake, put the tickets on sale when I've got no money :(

Tickets go on sale Friday, and they'll be no more than £30 I expect. Just whore yourself out or something :)

:LOL: Unfortunatley I don't think I have the looks for that!

I could just pray they don't sell out very quickly, or borrow some money...

[Jacky Boy]

Wheyyyyy, date just announced in Norwich! This is actually a massive surprise to me and it does save me going down to London.

November 18th at the UEA, tickets on sale noon today.

[Muse8138]

Going to go see them October 24th, so excited. (They are playing with Bush, Sick Puppies, Suicidal Tendencies, A Day To Remember, Authority Zero, and Circa Survive.:D

[Smit]

Are the tickets sold out for the glasgow show?

[Lucifer Sam]

Hmm why did I wait so long to listen to Diamond Eyes.

Bloody good.

[MattXXI]

I'm going to miss their show on the 18th. Hate. :(

[MuseForPresident]

Looking forward to seeing these guys with Mastodon very soon. :D

[Repeaterbeater]

oh my god, their new video is the most beautiful thing I've seen for years. how.just HOW can they take all the beautiful things in the world and put them in one video

[Clunge]

Is that for You've Seen The Butcher?

[boomeraangsquad]

bump

Awesome band. Their newest release is nothing short of amazing.

[Gemsy]

Going to see them again in November, fuckin' 'raaay.

[Mark Renton]

I love Deftones. Such a good band, been listening to them lots and lots lately. Their acoustic version of You've Seen The Butcher is beautiful.

I'm dissapointed people don't go nuts when Muse riff Headup, such an amazing song.

[Milky Joe]

I'm dissapointed people don't go nuts when Muse riff Headup, such an amazing song.

I do, and scream the chorus over it :awesome:

[Mark Renton]

I do, and scream the chorus over it :awesome:

Nice, the times i saw muse last year people just stood and watched them riff it, it would of been nice if people actually went nuts.

[Chevy Chase]

I don't know if anyone here used to post on the official deftones board but it was killed dead. Anywho, this is where everyone ended up. Register and post yo. We'll be nice. :thumbsup:

New album in 2012! http://www.nme.com/news/deftones/56413 :awesome: :awesome: :awesome: :awesome: Not Eros, though

[Glorious Resistance]

I might be seeing Deftones in a couple weeks :awesome:

[Relentless]

I would do to their Finland date but it's bloody 18+. I need to get fake ID.

[Banksy.]

Saw them at Leeds festival, beautiful stuff. I was part of a crowd near the front that was attempting to sing along. Chino's scream at the end of Passenger never fails to impress me live. Nice to hear that there'll be some new material, and hopefully a new tour, next year!

Just checked the setlist for Leeds, and it was way better than Reading's!

I'm jelly, Digital Bath is my favourite Deftones song

[randomparrot]

Was a very casual fan until I saw them at Reading now I can't stop listening to them :LOL:

Yeah, it was a good setlist :happy: Reading's wasn't bad though, 7 Words is awesome live, or it looks it anyway. I was happy with anything though, it's my first time seeing them where I properly knew the songs.

Happened to me the first time I saw them live too, I got ever so addicted. I never can listen to enough of Be Quiet And Drive.

[Milky Joe]

I must have heard 7 Words live 3 times now, along with Root and Engine No. 9 and Birthmark, but my favourites from Adrenaline are Bored and Nosebleed :p

I'd lose my shit if they broke into Bored (like Muse did at Reading)

[Banksy.]

Yeah, Bored is amazing, I'd say that's my favourite from that album. No idea why they don't play it more.

[Milky Joe]

They tend to play it quite a bit away from the UK. It's just the luck of the draw I guess.

[Banksy.]

Yeah, I suppose. It gets hard on the voice towards the end as well.

[Milky Joe]

Lol, I actually sang it today and fucked up my throat. It's better now, but screaming isn't for me ;)
