The first and only headline show I've seen from them was in 2003 at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. A 3,600 cap venue. So beyond pumped for MSG.
ANYWAY even if im wrong and they played big venues twenty or more years ago it’s fucking sick they’re popular enough to even book this tour in 2024
I believe Deftones biggest tour was in 2000 when they had Incubus as direct support and Taproot opening. Saw that tour in Hartford, CT the night before Thanksgiving, was awesome.
Them, Korn and Limp Bizkit r going through major career resurgences, could be wrong and I am not on this social media platform but apparently tik tok plays a big part of their career resurgences
Maybe I don’t have an ear to the ground with this, but Korn and Limp Bizkit seem to be riding the nostalgia train way more than Deftones.
Korn still regularly puts out and tours on new albums; I don't know how they're riding a "nostalgia train".
I’ll believe you, I just haven’t seen their tours pop up in places where I check for concerts. The most recent tour with Gojira and Spiritbox is the first time I’ve noticed them touring with bands I actually care about. Are they actually playing new songs and not a greatest hits from the 90s/early 2000s set?
Their current setlist has Start The Healing from the last album, Insane from the one before, and they just brought back Oildale from III. It is still a hits heavy set, but that's not unlike any other band with as many hits as they do.
When I saw them in London this past summer they were playing an mixture of the hits, deep cuts and recent stuff from the past 4 albums and they were working on an new record before going back on the road again so they have been insanely prolific and stayed relevant the whole time
I don’t follow the Mars Volta at all so no idea if that font choice is new or not but that is horrendous from a branding / legibility perspective. Might actually be worse than the Kia logo lol
It's the indie futuro nerd version of that puke font that every D-grade death metal band likes to use so you can't identify them in a lineup.
Now I'm wondering if the music is labeled "Def Groove" because it sounds like something Deftones would write, or if they are being coy with a new song riff...
I'm going to guess it's just three different variations of a Deftones inspired riff. It'd be odd to have this be the first glimpse at any new music.
