Does Damone Belong On Around The Fur?

[DeftonesNZ]

Yeah it's pronounced Da Moan I saw an interview I think it was that quiz one they did and they had to name the hidden track's they've done or something like that and Abe pronounced it Da Moan.

[DJR]

I would easily place it on around the fur. it's like you're waking up from all those beautiful emotions you just felt through the whole record and now hear is the realization of that dream.

I wrote a comment pretty similar to that on youtube a couple years ago. YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME?

Ya because of that shit you just sent, how do I report you?

What shit? 

that shit your into, that shit is vile, whats your problem?

Crystal meth? yeah hes a big user...

[Romain]

It does. It's the final chapter of Around the Fur, it's not complete without it. It's the conclusion of everything in the album, as well as the best example of what they were about, back then. To me.

Back then? funny it reminds me more of now, abstract lyrics, heavy verse, beautiful choruses and refrains. ya they've perfected that right now, today.

[Romain]

If that's what you think.

you know Damone is really the gem of gems, it actually could be the song that defines this group in terms of what they do with their sound. I love it specifically because it showcases chino's melodies and lyrics.

For the record, Damone was the name of one of the most badass characters in the John Hughes 80's movie 'The Breakfast Club'.  pretty sure that's where the title came from.

I'd say "Lovers" is their defining song. "Damone" could be too though....

[DeftonesNZ]

I wouldn't say they have one defining song, they've just covered so much of a musical scope that one song can't properly show all the elements they use, that being said you could pick one for each time period and for the ATF period Damone is a good example.

no way, but the album yes.

Speaking of pronounciations, how does everyone say fireal? I've never had the opportunity to talk to another deftones fan in person because my town sucks.

Thanks, I saw this a long time ago and never caught that. One of my favorite songs for sure.

No way? Really? "Lovers" is pretty much everything Deftones is about rolled into one damn song. I don't know how you don't see it. it has perfect dynamics, it sounds hopeless at the end, but in that chorus it just soars and sounds completely epic and yet you see there's a light at the end of this tunnel without the song sounding too lighthearted, and then during the verse its claustrophobic and dark. Its just beautiful. I could even see the band potentially agreeing with this. And it doesn't feature any throwaway elements. There's no rapping, there's no stupid lyrics in it, no screaming (well screaming's not a bad thing, but to other people it might be). Its just pure fucking Deftones awesomeness.
