Posted August 6, 200915 yr http://culturagratuita.org/fotos/deftones.jpg Deftones is an American rock band from Sacramento California, formed in 1988. Consisting of Chino Moreno (lead vocals and guitar), Stephen Carpenter (guitar), Chi Cheng (bass), Frank Delgado (keyboards and turntables), and Abe Cunningham (drums and percussion). Critics have often praised their music as atmospheric, innovative and unique. qLvLcioo86Y NGJBKjD4XuA u8XVlAIm6O0 Whats everyone's opinon on this band? I never really realised how big they are. Really getting into them right now. New album currently in the works i believe. I'm looking forward to seeing them this month at Reading.
August 6, 200915 yr I think they're absolutely great tbh... As I said to you at the NIN gig Chris.... ^_^ I dont actually view them as a "Metal" band per se, I see them more as "Alternative Rock", because they've got a style which is as much influenced by The Smiths, Sonic Youth and The Cure than anything else... Fave songs of theirs... 7 Seconds Drive Bored My Own Summer (Shove It) Change (In the House of Flies) Knife Prty Pink Maggit/Back to School Minerva Hexagram Hole in the Earth Mein Xerces Digital Bath Fave Album - Probably "White Pony", because that really sees them stretching out musically, and gets to near-Radiohead levels of sonic experimentation, as well as having some absolutely mind-blasting Rock tracks.... A near-as-dammit perfect mixture of balls-out Alt Rock and Arty experimentation.. Brilliant, genre defining record....
August 6, 200915 yr Author can you believe at Reading this year, the band after Deftones is.... FALL OUT BOY :mellow: i predict some of the hardcore FOB fans that turn up at the front early are gonna get mauled. Deftones will $h!t over most bands at Reading this year, apart from maybe Faith No More.
August 6, 200915 yr can you believe at Reading this year, the band after Deftones is.... FALL OUT BOY :mellow: :lol: :lol: Ridiculous.... That's just a bit like having The Saturdays or Pussycat Dolls on after The Prodigy..... :lol: Here's hoping for a repeat of the "rain of p*** bottles and mud" which greeted The Rasmus some years ago...... :lol: I should warn you though Chris, Deftones can seriously blow hot or cold depending on Chino's mood..... I've seen Deftones both totally up for it and just not giving a fukk... They're really tempramental sods.....
August 6, 200915 yr Author :lol: :lol: Ridiculous.... That's just a bit like having The Saturdays or Pussycat Dolls on after The Prodigy..... :lol: or putting Daphne and Celeste between Rage Against The Machine and Slipknot.... _hnxies4Wtk
August 6, 200915 yr or putting Daphne and Celeste between Rage Against The Machine and Slipknot.... _hnxies4Wtk :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Oh, happy memories..... And they absolutely and completely deserved it..... They just didn't seem to quite "get" that they were just added to the bill that year as a joke..... :lol:
August 10, 200915 yr i like minerva, (the roman equivelant of the greeks athena), good track i havnt heard for some time.
August 10, 200915 yr Tbh I hadn't heard much of their stuff but on seeing this thread I have listened to Adrenaline now... and what a great album. I now intend to listen to them in order of release with one every so often coz I think this is a band worth proper investigation.
August 10, 200915 yr This band brings me back. I wouldn't be a fan, but I did like "Back to School", "Digital Bath", "Change", and "My Own Summer". "My Own Summer" has to be my favourite. :)

You think Adrenaline's good, wait til you get to "White Pony", the self-titled one and "Saturday Night Wrist".....
September 6, 200915 yr I've always liked them but have never listened to them as much as other bands for some reason.
October 15, 200915 yr Forget my previous comment I am realising how amazingly good they are right now.
October 15, 200915 yr Author Forget my previous comment I am realising how amazingly good they are right now. Did you see them at Leeds?
October 15, 200915 yr Did you see them at Leeds? Yes and they were very good, you enjoy them at Reading?
October 15, 200915 yr Author Yes and they were very good, you enjoy them at Reading? I almost died from inhaling dust coming out from the pit, I also almost died by being in the pit, INSANE, they really know how to play live.
October 16, 200915 yr I almost died from inhaling dust coming out from the pit, I also almost died by being in the pit, INSANE, they really know how to play live. You guys caught them on a good day then..... :lol: How's Chino looking these days...? Still a fatty..? or is he more slimmed down....?
October 17, 200915 yr Looked pretty normal at Leeds, more muscle than fat nowadays. Hmmm, maybe this is why they're putting on good shows again.... :lol: Last time I saw them, Chino was pretty much what you'd call morbidly obese, quite clearly drunk, and just as clearly not giving a rat's ass about putting on a good show.... They were massively disappointing by comparison to what I'd seen before.... Well, if they're "up for it" again, I might just go see them next time they're in London....
October 17, 200915 yr Can't decide what my favourite album of theirs is. It is between 'White Pony' and 'Around the Fur' but both are amazing, 'Saturday Night Wrist' is a close third and 'Deftones' last. I haven't heard 'Adrenaline'.
