Deftones Band • Page 92

I'm not the only one frequenting Sharing Lungs am I.

 

That was one of the best gigs of my life. Amazing night.

There's a chance I'm still standing in the venue, in shock at them playing Battle-Axe. Couldn't believe it. Sounded HUGE.

 

Nice, I feel thats one of the unsung heroes of S/T

 

I think it might be my favourite on the S/T.

They hadn't played it in eleven years before last night and Chino had insinuated a few years ago that they probably wouldn't play it again. So I lost it when that opening guitar part came in.

 

BATTLE AXE, ARE YOU KIDDING ME

 

I remember seeing them back in 2003 in Manchester - Chino was steaming drunk but they were phenomenal

Encore was Battle Axe, Bloody Cape and Teething

Miss those days

 

Vein being on this is fuckin sickkkkk

 

NY needs a Dia De Los Deftones right now.

 

I'm interested in the crossover appeal between Deftones and Future. It kind of makes sense with the little Future I've listened to and enjoyed, and I think several people here really like both artists, but I'm curious how it will be for a larger live audience.

 

What if Future collaborated with them I would die

 

One more big name alt metal or post hardcore band would have been cool.

 

That lineup is actually sick... might have to make the drive for this.

 

They’re deluuuuuuuuuuuusions.
Don’t denyyyyyyyyyy iiiiiiiit.

 

What a TUNE that one. Gore is so sexy

 

Just so no one's confused, Graphic Nature is the sexiest Deftones song. Dirty, dirty groove and that chorus woof

 

There’s solid competition.

 

Such a badass performance

 

I have family in San Diego with a birthday the weekend of Dia De Los Deftones so I'm trying to figure out the logistics of flying out there and going. Lord help my wallet

 

This slams

 

The self-titled was the first album of theirs I heard in high school, and I liked it a lot, but I got more taken by White Pony/SNW/Diamond Eyes. This past week though I’ve been revisiting the S/T and I’m digging it just as hard as their other stuff. Nostalgia over Minerva and Hexagram and finding new love for a bunch of other tracks (When Girls Telephone Boys, Battle-Axe).

Obligatory: GOD HELP ME, GOD HELP ME, GOOOOOOOOD

 

It’s the best!!!!

 

There's so much good content from this band that I love equally. Though it doesn't have the most endearing lyrical content or riffs, Hexagram is always a top contender for favorite Deftones song. I thoroughly enjoy covering it on drums and Chino's delivery is near incomparable. The "chorus" structure of it is quite unlike anything i've really ever heard from a rock/metal band and it works flawlessly for the song. Despite the fact that it's really unorthodox.

 

The first time I heard Hexagram, I thought “Oh, this is actual heavy music.” Definitely the most intense thing I’d heard at that point.
