Title: Diamond Eyes era.
Post by: Gnosticality on May 05, 2017, 03:45 PM
It'd be sick to see Chino get in shape and such like he did during this time-frame, when shit was hella' nostalgic of the "ATF" era.

This subject is probably like beating a dead-horse by now. But, I digress.

I agree, he looked rather healthy in those days. Idk how someone can stay chubby with all that cardio he gets from running and jumping around on stage, lol

Age I suppose people change over time, what matters is his voice is still going strong.

Yeah, I guess so. But his voice still sounds awesome and he's still energetic onstage, so that's what matters.

Yeah, you guys are absolutely right. His voice is the greatest its ever been, so there's that.

I usually don't give a fuck about weight or appearance so much, but I'm just SO used to him being thin, lol. In my head, what he looked like earlier on is just what I know him as. So it throws me off.

I second this. He's probably just ruthless with the grub again, lmao. Along with excess beer.


Like duuuuude, look at his fucking energy in this. I want it back:

He reminded me of Nathan Drake in the Uncharted video game series back in that era.


I'm probably the only one to whom that concept makes any sense.

He looks fine to me. I mean, he's not as bad as he was in the late-ST/SNW era or anything. Dude's in his 40's now, it happens to the best of us.

I assume it's not easy staying fit while on the road, even with the workout during their sets. The options they have for food is probably either takeout or restaurants.

That's a very good point as well. Plus, Stef's always gotta get food for the munchies, lol

Very truthful points here, haha. Like I said, he doesn't look BADDDD. I can just tell he hasn't fully been his "Real self" in the weight-arena, lol.

Just turned on these performances from their Alexandra Palace performance, tho. Fucking awesome.

You can insult Chino and the other guys all day long if you want, but they're making music for a living, travelling all over the world and getting to play their songs to countless people. While you sit here on a forum with (as of now) 323 posts complaining about their music, their shows and Chino's weight. What a winner...lol.

I'm so happy that I got into the band and got to see them live for the first time during the Diamond Eyes era. They were so reinvigorated and Chino especially was full of energy, looking and sounding better than he had in years...I've still loved every show I've been to since, but the 2011 one was on an entirely different level.

agreed. out of the 3 times I've seen deftones, the diamond eyes tour was by far they were better sound, energy and performance wise.
