I dont c a single saturday night wrist track on the setlist! they could have played kim dracula..guess chino was serious about he doesnt even want to hear those songs!

It looks like Sergio is really enjoying his time with the Deftones. I wish I was in his spot, or in Frank's spot, where I can play keyboards and samples for them!

Yeah man, really. I was right in front of him at the Dortmund gig, and he's in total trance all the time he plays some deftones stuff.

Last night was really amazing.
it was my 25th birthday, and i was excited for the show in that special day and everthing, i had a feeling that i could meet the band in this night...

Everything was perfect. The show was short, but with a solid setlist. No SNW, and some new songs from DE, as you can see in the posts above. I wanted to hear TPID (my fav DE song) and i missed some WP songs . Sextape was a surprise...it was really really good to hear it live.. Portuguese fans loved Adrenaline and ATF´s song, and the crowd was wild during this songs.

I was able to see Steph entering in the room, right the moment i arrived to Tivoli. I was really frustrated for the chance i missed...But...

I met Nuno a hour later. And the man...oh the man. He rules! We all are greatful for SL and for all the deftones related work, and i have finnally, the chance to meet him. We hang out till the opening time. We get to see the show together in a cool spot. Everything was clear, and we were able to see every moves from the band.
Chino was on fire. I mean, we knew he was tired because of the Dortmund show and the trip, but he was pretty solid in the show. All the band members looked happy and in shape. A really really good hour!

After that, we "attack" I am pretty sure that my WP tattoo, and Nuno ability and experience, helped us with the M&G. Nuno and I were the only ones that took a picture with Chino. He just left the venue really quickly, and it was pure luck. He said "Cool, Man" to my tattoo, just before i wave him goodbye. And then, we were able to go inside and met all band members.  It was my first time with them, and i get my WP and DE signed, and some really good pictures (thank you Nuno, and GF).

Abe, Frank, Sergio and Steph are really cool. We can easily talk with them and get some pics.

I am really happy with this night. It was the best birthday present, for sure.  Special thanks to all the people that helped me entering the show (João, Rita and Susan), my friends, and...of course, Nuno...I am a rookie. He is not : )
I had a good time with Mr. Drop-Dead". Hope to see you soon, buddy.

Excellent. We're getting more and more proshot thingies. Hope MTV will do the same with the London gig.

White Wrist went in to see if there was a chance for a meet 'n greet at that time, and he fuckin' gets the soundcheck surprise gift, royal, it seems...I didnt see it, because he came out with a negative answer regarding the m&g, but with a minor information: "hey they were practicing inside..." lol

Gotta say I really love the way Sharinglungs is getting more active, even Nuno has some time to spend here, which is pretty cool. I also think people are getting nicer than a couple of weeks ago.
