Chi was the coolest person in the band. He was the most willing to talk to fans. I just found out that he lost his battle. He will be missed. Much love Chi.
I worked for IBRF the foundation that was trying to bring him back. His family are very nice people. I used to drive his Mother, Jean, back and forth from her Hotel to the hospital
If I recall, wasn't he Tboned by another driver, on his way home from his brother's funeral? If that is true, that truly sucks. His family went through more than any ever have to endure.
@@devinmichaelroberts9954 Maybe not, but Deftones are my absolute favourite Live Band. I have seen them 5 times, which is alot because they don't tour Europe very often. Can't wait to see them again! 🙌🏼 ✌️😏

@@methman9212 They were doing a shit ton of coke while recording White Pony. Chino said during the making of Saturday Night Wrist, he had a really bad drug problem. Hence why his voice was shot a lot of time, and he’d gain weight. Long past those days, though. Around Diamond Eyes is when he started sobering up and taking care of himself and his voice.
Man, Chi was amazing. He gave the deftones that extra metal the band infused into their sound. I remember Chi tearing it up live in the late 90’s as well as a special guest with Down live at Ozzfest. Good times.

Change (In the House of Flies) - I 💗 the cuts between the metal and acoustic sound. That's what I love about the Deftones and how they deftly move between hard and soft sounds. Not a lot of bands can do that.
@@siccens6168 apparently hes a little hit or miss live sometimes but hes awesome best voice ever to me just the best it makes so much of deftones awesomeness i mean you love deftones you love chinos voice its how it is right
Chi Cheng was a monster on the bass guitar he was really good at his skills on bass. Is bass playing skills is up there with Lemmy Cliff Burton Jason Newsstand and Tom Araya and his bass line was a big impact on my life made me the bass player I am today I'm glad I got to see them in my day live with chi
I think Chi’s energy and presence is what really stuck out to me, he wrote some tasty ass grooves tho.. but Cliff?? Tom? Lemmy? Jason and let’s not forget bass Gods like Claypool, Vic Wuten, Geddy Lee, Geezer Butler and Ryan Martinie.. Chi fell quite a bit short in tha talent dept from those fellas
For singers that decided to pickup a guitar, Chino is one of the few who actually have learned to play and not become a prop the engineer has to fade out of the mix. Signed, an Audio engineer.
he cut his hair in 25 january of 2001, in chile, he came to chile from argentina with his dreads and the first day in chile he cut his hair, the first show with short hair was at friday 26 january 2001 on Estadio Victor Jara,(estadio Chile) Chile
That was definitely the best time of Deftones. They just wrote their best record 'White Pony', Chi was still there, musically they were flying high, Chino was singing at his best. Miss those days!
Still got this on DVD. Forgot Chi had that short hair goin on! If I remember correctly, Chino was sick during this time..hence why he sounds off on a lot of the songs...especially Change.
I miss him real bad as well. I only bought the first two albums, with the new bassist. And that was it. I just don’t like the sound anymore. And their my second favorite band😢.
I couldn't agree more. I searched the comments to see if anyone else had the same thought. Just watched it 20 times in a row. His build up to it is so intense
AI SIM ERA BAIXISTA DE PRIMA...MELHOR FORMAÇÃO...TIVE O PRIVILÉGIO DE VÊ-LO TOCAR AO VIVO NO EXTINTO VIA FUNCHAL... SEM PALAVRAS...!!! MUITA LUZ PARA CHI CHENG !!!
25:15 was waiting the whole show for something like this. this is the chino i recognize man. something happened before this show thats all i know. you can see him wipe his tears throughout the show
