Hey guys i was just thinking to myself, how wealthy do you think the deftones are, I mean they are a pretty big band but i know they never made a lot of money off cd sales...
So what do you think? are they comfortable, very comfortable or just plain rich?
rich enough to not have to hold day jobs id assume
does anyone really care? as long as they can make the music they want to make i could care less what kind of cars they drive

im just jealous that they dont have to have day jobs. rich motherfuckers.
I wanna see an episode of Cribs where Stef shows his mansion and 3 cars with twentyfo inch spinnaz.
theyre comfortable me thinks
i think they are very comfortable...
yeah, i assume they're comfortable, but not rich.
Ye I assumed they are pretty comfortable, seems to be the general opinion they aint rich but very comfortable....
im not rich but im comfortable...in this chair im sitting in
are you being paid by herpdate or what?
they went from all of 2002 without a single show, & none of them worked at McDonalds during that time or anything, & still managed to pay bills, etc. so if they can go that long without shows & still get by, i'm sure they do really well when they tour
like you all said though, i doubt they're filthy rich, but still get by really easily
i would like to know their exact income, i dunno why it's such a secret what bands make. we know exactly what baseball, basketball & fooball players make. being signed by a major label should give the public acsess to what bands make$ as well (just like being signed in a major sport)
Chi was quoted as saying "we're the worlds biggest underground band." aka they dont make a lot.
Second, in the recent interview with kerrang, Chino said some band members had money problems during the making of SNW but now everything is better. I assume they are comftorable. Middle class niggaz makin music. Except maybe Chino, who lives in Burbank, has a side project to make money off of, chino sox and produces albums now.

i was acquainted with a drummer from this band that almost made it somewhat big a couple years back. they were in the middle of talking to a major label and he told me some of the outrageous figures some bands on that label saw. i'm sure the deftones have made a pretty penny in their time.

Even though bands sell shit loads of records, depending on what the royalty rate is and advance for each album (you have to remember that marketing budgets, manufacturing costs etc have to be paid back to the label and the producers fee is generally paid out of the bands advance as is the studio time/fees) depends on what the pay out is for each band, even though they do get other royalties for copyrighting cost. Most bands make money from touring and merch.
deftones are so rich chino wipes his ass with dolla billz yo! hahaha

I'm sure playing 246 shows in support of SNW had a lil help in that :p
When touring they make over $250K a year...
Well I hope for them cause 250K a year is far from being a huge amount of money....
All expenses paid during those tours... That's like straight profit. I used to travel a lot and I had $60 food, all gas, hotel, pretty much everything paid... I racked in cash those years.
And we all know if the food Chino eats is expended, well... Adds up :)
250K is still nothing big, even straight profit...
id say they've been making 20-30 grand per show since white pony came out...you do the math....ch-ching

Yeah, that's what Frank or Chino mentioned... They are contracted as well, so health insureance and income during time of no tour or CD release...
You have to realise the amount of expenses that come with touring, royalty fees, bus, crew, catering, promotion etc but most bands do make most money from touring and merch.

Rich enough, at least Stef, to buy loads of ESP-guitars!!!
hes sponsored by ESP why would he buy them?
Yeah man, Deftones were sponsered by Adidas... They have a LOT handed to them. Chino plays the Gibson because of Weezer.... Now that is cool, he has never broken a guitar on stage....

You guys don't seem to take into account that just because you're a big, well known band, doesn't mean you're rich or can go a long period of time without pay. Deftones needs money to tour, especially outside the US, or else they're shit out of water.Labels do NOT pay a band to tour.
So it makes sense that some of the members were getting a little poor around the time of SNW. Most of the time what a label will pay you to make a record is actually spent on the record itself - they went into debt with Warner while making self titled and thus were penalized.

lol what do you think?..i think to book deftones (alone) it'll cost somewhere between 60 000 - 100 000...
The deftones will bust nuts on your butts.

The only thing i'm greed >:( >:( about is when Chino threw that BAD ASS guitar into the crow somewhere back in 2003 (fucking LUCKY guy who got it!!!) in.. Wembley... i think... watched in on bandsvideos.com vid.... fucking Chino!!! why he didn't do that when he came to Mexico and didn't throw his shitty Fender guitar?????

The guy from Weezer didn't give him the guitar..
Chino likes the band Weezer. And he likes the SG, so he bought one.
He uses a Fender Jaguar now.
I dont know where Chino gets his tatste in guitars from. SG's are badass..Fender Jags...arent really

yah, he should go back to SG or get another new one... that Fender is really.... boring....
So, yeah, Chino likes Weezer, me troo, i like Weezer, and i like Chino (LOL)... so i'll try to get an SG...
and insist on the way Chino threw his SG guitar!! OMG!

at least Kevin shields from my bloody valentine plays a jag of which chino is a big fan of. I think chino also plays a jazzmaster....
STEPEHN has a nice tele, tha one from HITE
The thing is , is that Chino's style of playing is very "indie" ...he like strumming and soft almost grungy styles of playing..
Steph is very accurate and rythmically more perfect and tighter and heavier and has a real metal crunch going on..they are totally the weirdest type of comparison for guitarists playing in the same band..well, i call Chino a guitarist coz he seems to think he is.

Steph probably wants a fuckin..17 string guitar or something..having a pot smoker's brain means he only considers possibilities outside the current realm of existence and possibility.
