Deftones Band • Page 62

This Place is Death is one of the best in the album. Love the lyrics, and referenced it in a song I wrote once haha.

 

Chino picked the only cool episode title from LOST. he's the best at coming up with song titles imo

 

Agreed that "When Girls" is amazing, but I was trying to keep the list focused on songs that I just don't see talked about, even on this thread. Also, it seems like it's something of a staple of their live sets.

 

When Girls is one of their most popular, I'd say. In my top 5 for sure

 

I don't listen to their first two albums much at all, but if I went by album by album, my choices for underrated songs would look like this...

WP: RX Queen, Teenager
S/T: Needles And Pins, Anniversary
SNW: Xerces, Combat
DE: Beauty School, 976-EVIL
KNY: Gauze, What Happened To You?
Gore: Xenon, LMIRL

 

Given what he did with Thrice on TBEITBN, I'd love to hear what Eric Palmquist could do with Deftones.

 

oooh yeah. Needles and Pins might be their most underrated song, tbh.

 

Mascara. It's the song most people don't like off of ATF but it's a fucking masterpiece.

 

Date is the 6th member of Deftones. It's like asking Steve Vai to play without his Jem. They just pull the best out of each other.

 

Mascara has always been my favorite Deftones song. brilliant

 

Combat usually comes up in the convo of best songs on SNW, at least for me and on sputnik (rip)

 

The groove goes in doe. The song itself isn't the best but I LOVE Abe and Chi laying it down.

 

Ah, I guess I didn't know it was that popular or a live staple.

 

I know it would be a longshot, but given his masterful drum production, Deftones and Casey Bates would be a dream.

 

Chino's 44th birthday today and White Pony's 17th.

 

WP came out on his birthday!? Also I know what I'm jamming later now

 

Imagine how satisfied he must have felt that day, knowing he'd released that.

 

I feel soon, I will sink, into you...

 

Around The Fur is not a good album

 

that's correct, it's a great album

 

Not even close

 

Oh c'mon

 

I love that album

 

ATF is alright i dont mind its existence but i prefer WP onward

 

What about Around The Fur is so appealing to people? It's not bad, but I don't think it's good either. I think it's just alright. I enjoy My Own Summer, Rickets, Be Quiet And Drive, and Headup, but that's about it. That album has some killer riffs, but those songs just are not interesting to me in any way. They became a much more enjoyable band to listen to with White Pony and everything thereafter.
