Deftones to tour North America with Dillinger Escape Plan

[There Will Be Blood]

Anyone think they will take a trip south?

[There Will Be Blood]

Me and my buddy who is a big Dillinger fan are thinking of coming to the USA to see a show for my birthday. Can anyone recommend a cool city and venue to visit? we'll prob only be there for like 4 days max as that's all out funds can allow. Thank you

NY

Without a doubt New York. Quickest to get to as well if you are only going for 4 days although I would try for 5 nights. Biggest expense will be flights so an extra night in a hotel won't bust the bank.

3 shows (1 in NJ and 2 in NYC) make it a no brainer

I love living in New England! I will be hitting 4 shows!!...all less than a 2 hour drive from the crib!

They definitely need to change up the setlists better than they did on the Blackdiamondskye tour!! I wanna hear Knife Party, Digital Bath, Beware, Death blow, Battle Axe.....and a lot of the other ones they didn't play.

BRING ON MAY MUTHA FUCKA!!!!

[sing blue silver]

awesome. i've heard from a friend that the diamond packages for montreal are gone already.

[Corleone]

They better come to toronto or I'm going to boycott this tour.

Please!!for those who bought the diamond package: i hope you'll make a review about all!!lucky you!!

[sing blue silver]

diamond packages are gone. so glad i got one. i've waited years and years for this show. does anyone know how many people are usually given diamond packages?

[charissa]

It was often in the soundcheck but never played during the show.

Yep, we heard it during the soundcheck for Allentown (9/12/10).

If I recall it was 25 or 30 for the last round.

I'm so happy I got 2 diamond VIP tix for NY on 5/13!!! 

If life circumstances were different right now, I'd have bought tix for the 2nd NY show as well as Philly & Sayreville or even Boston & Hartford. Though I'm told by a musician friend the sound at the Electric Factory sucks.

[poofing acid]

E-factory isn't that bad.  The TLA kinda sucks though.

Got  my Diamond VIP package for Hartford, CT!

Sorry guys but this Diamond package is a complete waste of money.  Knowing the tones its not gonna be that great.  U don't need to pay 150$ to meet them.  I've never had a problem meeting them after the show.  Just go out back and wait, they'll sign anything u want and talk to u.  And its Free!  Im gonna buy my ticket to the show and meet them afterwords with 30 other people just like I have at pretty much every show I've been to.  But I hope u have fun!

^you think is a waste of money buying a package were you can see the soundcheck and hear songs that they might not play the night of the show? interesting...

yea bud, I do think its a waste of money... I doubt you'll hear anything new.  They'll probably play 3 or 4 songs for soundcheck?  If your dying to meet them their not hard to find.  Every show I've been to they've been out back signing shit and chillin with fans.   just my .02

I heard a lot of people were disappointed with the meet and greet package on their last tour?  I  think it was blackdiamondsky?  not quite sure...  and u know its not gonna be organized.

I can only speak from my experience. I had the diamond VIP package on 9/12/10 at Croc Rock in Allentown and it was worth every penny and more for me. Though I totally get what you are saying. We also had plenty of chances to meet them in the parking lot before and after the show, but personally I'm glad we did it the VIP way...not all the guys were available after the show and they were hurried and crowded by a LOT of fans, etc. During the VIP, they took their time going around to everyone and we all got a chance to talk with each of them one on one and they were generous with their time. It was pretty sweet. An added bonus was meeting a lot of local fans who I might get to join for the upcoming tour if I get Philly tix in addition to my NY VIP.

Just my 2-cents from my own personal experience.

Oh, and I definitely cannot complain about the original signed lithograph I now have hanging in my bedroom.

thats awesome, sounds like u had a great experience.  I just remember some people complaining about it.  Like they felt rushed or it wasn't organized.  idk.  I hope u guys have a blast tho.  For a new deftones fan its probably worth it, but for someone who has seen them b4 not so much.

Since I did that like twice for free, well, yeah, it's a waste of money, hahahaha.
