i'm 25 now, i started listen to this band when i was 16. they survived my temper, i came back to them. i started loving them again for different reasons. still, i'm convinced the deftones will be remembered.
there is no other band like DEFTONES and there is no other frontman like CHINO .Everytime I listen to his voice I fall over and over again in love...... Chino rocks my world ..
Linch Pin Thanks, try telling me something I don't know next time bud. Also, I'm pretty sure Chino, Stef, and the rest of the crew could give less of a shit about what people call the band, whether it be the Deftones or just Deftones. I think 'the Deftones' sounds cooler and is a badass name, so there you go.
Linch Pin Well first off, I know it doesn't mean shit if I personally like it, but there are other people that use it as well. It's just another common name for them, and it's not a big deal that people use it. There is no right or wrong in it, just preference. Also, im so edgy i could cut you breh (sarcasm). I know my description sounds stupid and like a typical teen but I'm just making a joke out of it (I had some fun making it, as you can tell). I know high school is nothing compared to the shit we're all gonna go through in life as we grow up and mature. I'm not some oblivious and condescending prick that you think I am, just judging from my profile. Also, I'm pretty sure I didn't offend you in any way in my comment, so if I did, then I didn't mean it.
I actually learned something new about a song I've heard 1000 x in my life .. thanks to chi's bass lines.. I realize either He is playing it wrong, or I just always played the guitar slightly wrong over the years but I'm willing to bet my life over his if I could that it isn't Chi who is playing it wrong! RIP Man
@nhokz you're so lucky you saw them. It's hard to be a deftones fan in the PH specially if you're below 18. It's very hard to find someone else that's a fan of the deftones cause everyone else listens to the regular crap.
@Fr4nTiC109 Apparently Chino has or had a serious amphetamine problem around 06-07 (that he admitted) and White Pony refers to cocaine (I didnt believe this at first just cuz I was pretty sure only Steph did drugs in the deftones). I thought Chino smoking joints on some 420 sites and tripping a bit was all they really did. Didnt know about the stimulants. Its just interesting to me 'cause its my favorite band since around the fur came out (I was 14 then).
@EazyRun ummm we have a band like the deftones again, they r called the deftones. they r still around and pumpin out great tunes. u should check em out
I was lucky to meet Chi and Stephen at a small outdoor concert in Newark, CA... Nobody else knew who they were back then in 96, but I recognized em from a video... They laughed at me cuz I made an ass outta myself, I was a 16 year old drunk kid, who looked like he was 12...hahahahahahah good memory though... They were at the show to watch their friends band: SPIKE 1000 ... If anyone knows who Spike 1000 is than your a G...
