DEFTONES "Rosemary" Composer Reaction and Dissection The Decomposer Lounge 

Thanks for getting around to this, man! I can't recommend this entire album enough, it is a phenomenal piece of Deftones history. Aloha! 🤙 Also, gotta say, it's crazy how often I get around to listening to a band in my collection that's the same thing you get a video out of! Love how this channel has expanded my eyes in rock and metal, and how similar a lot of the rest of the audience here picks around the same stuff. Good music all around, it seems!

FYI, you left Passenger, Sextape, and Digital Bath off of the playlist.

@@karmapedia Ugg - The older I get the better I was!! THANK YOU!!! Added :)

@@KeyOfGeebz I love what you do sir. And I love that you listen do Deftones. They are one of my favorite bands of all time. When I was in Iraq, I listened to their song called "Bloody Cape" EVERY single day before I went out on mission. Deftones is a very important and sentimental band to me, and I'd love it if you'd check out Bloody Cape. Take care brother.

Yes Bloody Cape is the mantra! Yes. Uh i came to elect "Wolf Like Me, by TV on the Radio" for when you roll out new stuff

that's exactly it

We can thank Hum for that discovery.

@@billywilliamson8411 rip. one of the best drummers ever.

A great summarization I heard of deftones sound is like falling in love and getting your heart broken at the same time

A lot so more recently since Stephen started using 8-9 string guitars

They definitely have their own sound. One of my favorites. Glad they were able to escape the shadow of the big nu-metal bands and keep going forward with their own thing.

Absolutely, very few bands ever achieve this greatness.

Casual: "What do they sound like?" Me: "The Deftones...I really have no other way to explain it."

omg right!!!

I don’t listen to music I listen to deftones

I agree with you there. A lot of "old school hipster" Deftones fans will say Adrenaline or Around the Fur is the greatest and will probably never change their minds, but Koi No Yokan is probably my favorite so far. Wearing my KNY shirt from the album pre-order right now actually!

Its easily my favorite of theirs.

@@metalboy27 it’s easily my favorite Deftones album. You’re 100% about hipster fans and even more so would say White Pony is their magnum opus and it’s definitely their first BEST album but Diamond Eyes was a better record all around and KNY is in my opinion their best to date. Not as a collection of individual songs but as an album, it’s dynamic and cohesive and not stays on task. It’s sexy as fuck. It’s heavy and textured and nuanced. It’s layered and Geebz is 100% when he mentioned Abe Cunninghams kick tone. If you HATE Deftones, you still love their tones. That kick drum is masterfully engineered. You can think Chino can’t sing. That’s arguable but you can’t argue that Deftones have DEF TONE. I just saw Sergio Vega playing with Quicksand last weekend and he sweated on me a little. Probably my favorite living bassist right now. He’s perfect for them, in the unfortunate absence of Chi. Geebz channel is so dope dude. I usually don’t watch his videos if I already know the song he’s decomposing because I watch his channel to find new music but when I saw this track was the subject for the today I had to see if he’d bring up chicken skin.

@@metalboy27 EXACTLY-They don't REALLY like Deftones, just "Adrenaline". Koi No Yokan is probably my favorite. One night I was dreaming about being with someone I'd loved and missed, and these two eerie chords in my head woke me up. I felt these chords, & tried to record something but couldn't express it on guitar. A few days later, I see Koi No Yokan on the shelf of a music store. I get in my car and play it. AWESOME! THEN the intro to Leathers begins playing in my car, and I just about lost my shit! Its possible my Pandora was playing Leathers in my sleep that night, or my brain did the deja vu perception trick where I just THINK I heard it before. But I still believe I heard those chords the first few seconds of Leathers, days before I knew Koi No Yokan existed. Every album has a slightly different appeal, and I love them all.

@@metalboy27 While Around the Fur is my favorite (for many reasons), I don't think there are any bad albums. Each have their strengths and weaknesses, and I love all of them the same.

Really? I never knew that. Thoroughly deserved though. I remember showing my friends who didn't even like Metal and they were mindblown

but...but...diamond eyes... :x

I can't believe it's been almost ten years since this album was released! Time flies..

That's a bold statement my friend. Imo it's certainly great, also the most commercial. I don't think I'd personally call it their best. But that's sort of the beauty of their discography. All the albums sound significantly different. So answers to that question will vary quite a bit.

Its my favorite album of theirs also

It depends on the mood, strong contender in the top 3 deftones albums nonetheless.

He's already done it, why were you waiting?

@@TylerTylerTyler he's done the band not the song friend :)

@@TylerTylerTyler what?

agreed

@@TylerTylerTyler no he hasn’t?

Frank Delgado is the man.

I think Chino playing rhythm also opened the door for Steph to focus more on atmosphere.

@@RC_Cubed except Chino is the one who pulled the atmospheric change and Carpenter was doing very little writing up until this most recent album...... That's why it changed.... Chino opened the door to his own creativity..... There's a good interview with Chino about it and the pause between albums because the tension him handling so much writing and his writing style creates

@@karmapedia Indeed. This band's arrangements and ambience got right when he joined the band so to speak

Perfectly said!! They're all about moody textures!

Same. Saw them in 98 and it was one of my favorite shows ever.

Frank's ambience layering is Deftones secret sauce imo.

I appreciate how when the nu metal craze was kicking off with all these DJs, Deftones introduced Frank as simply "media". He's so much more than just another DJ.

Yeah, Geebz think it's in post but it's written alongside the music and done live.

Frank adds so much to the sound wall these guys out out.

@@Agostoic right? Like when you splash a lil Cholula hot sauce on your dinner *chefs kiss*

Why don't you, then? If I had a spaceship it wouldn't be sitting in my backyard.

@@bernman23 already on my way, Wi-Fi not that great out here 😆

yes

Bro, no man's sky just flying around with stuff like this in the background is like an acid trip.

All based from meshuggah too. Steph loves them.

You should give a listen to "I Am The Morning" by Oceansize. I actually thought this riff might've been an homage.

Naaaasty indeed 🤟

@@drumkidstu Oh yeah Steph’s a massive fan. His Meshuggah-inspired riffs are so groovy and heavy.

@@immaculatetoilet Thanks I’ll check it out. I’ve always heard of them and only ever got around to check out The Charm Offensive. Really liked it but never got around to checking out their other music.

Such a warm sound

On a pair of good headphones 👌🏻

That riff makes me want to cry in a sense of feeling comfort - it’s beautiful and comforting, like a hug and understanding you never knew you needed

Yeah Id say this would be worthy like going live for a special.. you could set a survey for what time to go live. Peak participation id say is like 8pm Eastern

Yessss Cherry Waves one of the best deftones songs

I like you. All in my top 10 lol

Cherry waves is my favorite song from Deftones. Favorite band and favorite song. Rosemary is my favorite from this album

Mx, head up,around the fur,knife party

Someone already fukin ruined it...

love your resistance profile pic! muse is my favorite band in existence and deftones is pretty close up there too for me!

Too bad I cant tell if your right or wrong. Screw youtube

I've been to many shows at Jones Beach, including Deftones a few times, and I can always forgive the less than stellar sound there, because there really aren't too many things better than seeing your favorite bands outdoors on a summer night. Good shit!

What year? I saw the Deftones open for SOAD at Jones Beach but I don’t remember the setlist clearly.

you feel me man?? something about those bands bro.

Add Opeth and Radiohead to that list and you have my top 5 favorite bands of all time

🤙

You too!!! :)

The guitar player Stephen carpenter has a bunch of play through videos on the Deftones RU-vid channel they released this one for Rosemary a couple months ago, check it out you don't have to react to it just enjoy it on your own time 😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L4vJhaETryo.html

Also, try Palms.

Yes!! Team Sleep!!!

From when the Deftones almost split after a huge Chino Coke binge🤣

And Crosses!

HOWZIT DERRICK!!

@@KeyOfGeebz dude, you caught me on a random day off... got rained out! So stoked i caught one when you dropped it!

I know right, and lose your earginity to Deftones.

Converge would be awesome. Dillinger as well.

I'm here to second that, some converge would be cool.

As another ETID option - ‘Map Change’. That song gets me every time I hear it….

I know it outros into Goon Squad, but give "I Am The Morning" by Oceansize a listen. If this outro is the goodbye, then that track is the hello. :) Cheers

Loathe is fantastic. Sad Cartoon, White Hot, Screaming, is it really you, love those tracks.

For some reason I always thought it was about lucid dreaming

@@travisgilliam5 I thought that too at first lol. One thing I love about Deftones and especially the way Chino writes lyrics is that everything is cryptic; it's meant to be pondered and sometimes there could be multiple meanings that aren't obvious. One of the reasons they're my favorite 🔥
