so it seems there is a special guest headliner for the show on the 18th with These Arms Are Snakes featuring sBACH (Spencer Seim from Hella) .
now the only reason i think it's deftones is because on the club's myspace their music player has a deftones song under the "playing this week" playlist.
tickets are 25 bucks and they are strict about the whole credit card thing.
i am highly positive it is deftones. now go buy tixs cuz they are already on sale!!
Seems promising. Someone needs to go there with a good camera and tape this show.
Wish I was in LA.

Leave this to me, Z. I'll rip that shit via satellite reflections and will demodule the signal into blue ray, NO! green ray. Them I'll get the files to a pro tools mastering studio so that we remaster it for 8.1 sound and 3d visuals for everyone's bootleg experience.

I have the new song and a bunch of other ones recorded. It might take me a couple of days to finally get it off the camera though. I'll try and up them on Saturday. Show was fucking insane. I totally lost my glasses and couldn't see shit after the second song.
i thought chino hates to sing passenger. cuz he doesnt like to sing maynards parts?
Nobody can say "Chrome Buttons" quite like Maynard does....best part of the song.
theres a gig 2nite too!so the new song again?

Sorry about the size, but it was an hour and a 1/2 set, so that's why its so huge....
I zipped it on a mac, btw, so maybe that's why it's taking so long to extract?!?
I'm totally serial. Download took 7 minutes, extracting isn't even worth mentioning.
No darshun, I have a PC. You have 2 folders though in the .zip file, one that says MAC OS or whatever and the folder with the show on. I just extracted the latter.
it took like 10 mins to extract... not that bad

It took me like 30 secs, it depends on the computer or laptop you are using.
chino sounds GREAT!
Sounds kinda like "Teething" at the beginning. Hmmmmm ... maybe it gets better with a few more listens.
And it is realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly short. Like 2:30? Interesting.
i like the chorus
Does remind me of Rats but with a better chorus. Whatever Frank's doing, it's awesome.
yea sounds wierd
GREAT SHOW
Well, I'm sorry about the trouble w/the Zip file. I swear I only selected the folder that the m4as were in, but maybe I made a mistake. But nothing intentional, I'm sorry!!!

darshun, thanks so much dude, it's always great to see this sharing spirit among the fans...
Take care.
Fuck!!
Im listening to melanie... and the intro is so fucking RRR! Why? I dunno...
Somehow I just love the way the song speed slows down when introducing the chorus... it kick ass (the fading), so do Frank's sounds...
It needs a lil bit of help to grow on me.
Sounds like some 80's punk or garage band song. Me no likey.
That new song is gonna sound tits on the CD. Live it is like so-so, but I can tell its gonna be good.
Teething + Rapture + Rats! Rats! Rats! = Melanie

Song sounds just like Rats. Same structure and everything, fucking lame.
noticed Chino gave up attempting the 'I haaate' bit in HITE at this show....
Give him some credit for hitting the high note in the chorus well. He usually has trouble with those live.
Anyway, I think the song is good (specifically the chorus and bridge). It was stuck in my head after the first listen. If I have one problem with the song, it that's the verse riff sounds WAY TOO MUCH like Teething. I have to stop listening to it now because I'm going to run it into the ground like I did with Beware and Rapture. Deleted.
i guess when they jam their songs out instead of using pro tools you get the adrenaline/atf sound ya know.
im erasing the song too
dude, i was in a meeting for almost three hours now, it's great to come back to my desk and find this gem, thank you so much, downloading now, whats the word on quality?, also, cant wait to check out what monk has

Its pretty decent quality dude. I think you'll be satisfied.
ohh my, sound cool so far, listening to hex, nice, good job, dammit i hate that i wasn't able to get in, I waited for like three hours in that line with high hopes, can't wait for the tour

Damn, WGTB and Fireal back to back? That's so fucking sick.
EDIT: ;D They didn't do those, even though it says it on the setlist.
the new song it's kinda of weird...at first i didn't like it much. but it just grew on me still at the first listen.it sounds a bit like rats thou.i think they should rework that first riff. as for the rest it's really awesome track.and the synth sound is pretty cool!! fuck the song is really growing on me now!cant wait to listen to the studio version.
woow, i really enjoyed the new song, agressive as hell, but you got love sound effects from Frank.

Deftones' "surprise show" at Spaceland in Silverlake played out like a classic film noir. However, instead of femme fatales and criminal conspiracies, the audience got Chino Moreno's sensual, schizophrenic croon and Stephen Carpenter's six-string warfare. It was more than just a concert; it was one moment of sonic transcendence after another. In the tiny room, the sound flipped from decadent decay to brutal beauty with the shift of a guitar chord. However, Moreno's entrancing and destructive voice captured the crowd. It was beyond "hypnotic." It was pure aural kidnapping. Moreno stayed at the wheel, and the audience was a more-than willing passenger.
Announced a mere day before via the band's MySpace page, the show sold out almost immediately. Since the band hasn't played a gig in over a year, kids clamored for a spot up front. In the early afternoon, droves of fans arrived at the venue just to get close to witnessing the sonic explosion the evening would bring. Fitting the band's nihilistic imagery, Spaceland had the perfect combination of tacky hipster panache and '70s dirtball sleaze. The venue's sparkly chartreuse back curtain made it resemble a high school auditorium. It was the perfect quirky little club for what will be a legendary show.
In true noir fashion, Deftones went thematically deep into a seedy underworld. There were songs about seduction, abduction, addiction and eerie existentialism. Or were there? That's the best thing about the Deftones: that mystique. Very few bands have it. You could psychoanalyze the lyrics for a year and never know what Moreno truly means. That's why the audience clung to his every word.
Intellectual trappings aside, Deftones still slay on stage, and this particular show channeled an unbridled live ecstasy. From the second Moreno uttered the words, "Uh oh," the band was primed to go off. Opening song "Hexagram" swung like a guillotine, as Moreno sprung across the stage with unmatched fury. The crowd immediately exploded, bouncing with every riff. On "My Own Summer," Abe Cunningham and Chi Cheng's drum n' bass groove dripped sex, while "Lotion" was a kinetic aural riot somewhere between The Cure's swoon and Bad Brains' psychosis. "Around the Fur" evoked images of a downward spiral so deep Trent Reznor couldn't even comprehend it—Hollywood's drugs, depravity and dire loneliness collided in the song's hellish landscape.
"Beware" was the soundtrack to a personal apocalypse, complete with crickets. However, the evening's one new song, tentatively titled "Melanie," proved simultaneously rapturous and deadly. Moreno prefaced it by saying, "You haven't heard this one yet." The song's sharp riff clashed and killed, while the chorus soared. The singer lunged into the crowd, and his voice sailed across Carpenter's tidal wave of distortion during the hook. The new cut was edgy and vibrant—like all great Deftones songs are. "Change," "Knife Party" and "Digital Bath" added that classic space rock element to the show. The band excelled in conjuring gorgeously dark imagery through Frank Delgado's bleeding synths and Carpenter's torrential guitar work. "Hole In The Earth" kept up the space theme before "Passenger" brought everything back to that sexual darkness that the band does all so well.
Moreno's raw, refined rage got better with age. He commanded the crowd with a combination of youthful charisma and wise bravado. In between songs, he smiled, "I see a whole lot of motherfuckers I know out there. I'm glad you made it out to this." They were even happier to be there. This was set for the fans. Cuts like "Root," "Nosebleed" and "7 Words" eliciting massive and crazed crowd responses from the airtight club. One fan swung from a speaker as Moreno poured his soul out with each scream. The set covered every permutation of the Deftones' sound, from White Pony's lovelorn look at high school to Around the Fur's vile embrace to Saturday Night Wrist's stoned sonic space travel.
Since 1995, Deftones have been the future of rock music. They've influenced alternative music's zeitgeist with every evolution. However, most of the general music audience has always seemed one step behind them. Hopefully, with 2009's offering, the audience finally catches up. Rock music needs Deftones now more than ever. How many bands have created a mystique and weathered trends the way that Sacramento's favorite sons have? How many artists explore darkness through such beauty? Just like any classic noir tale, it was a combination of sex, violence and shifted perspectives. Isn't that what all great art is about?

Agreed. The biggest disappointment of the studio version of Beware to me is that you can't hear those glorious chorus synths from the live versions.

Yep. Frank is a hidden gem in Deftones' sound.
What a LAME review.
Damn I hate that kind of reviews so much... are you reading about a gig or about a kid's story?, besides, they put deftones on a level they probably aren't in (as gods).
*Well definetly they ARENT gods.
mucha respecto darshun
yeah, its rats rats rats part 2.
hope they release the studio version on myspace but not on eros
anyway its a good song, gotta hear it with better quality
yeah i am sure the album version will be brilliant
oh and nice work darshun
I hear a lot of ATF in this new song and I like it a lot. As far as the verse riff goes, surely there's a lot more going on in it than we can hear.
im lovin melanie, im hooked on it now! structure is like rats rats rats but its still enjoyable
Im tryin to imagine this in my head, abe just poudin away at the drums, steph is rippin up the guitar, chinos faling in love with his mic, chi cheng just bein chi, goin with the groove and franks at the back with a joint chillin....

word. thou i like the song i hope it's just a b side and wont apear on the record.
the song that appears on the studio clip thou we only listen to like 20 sec seems more apealing and refreshing than this one.
melanie grew on me but it seens like a good version of rats!rats!rats! and thou i like it what i want and most of the fans I think want it's something new and refreshing. thou this song got new elements to it seems a bit unfinished the song just ends so suddenly. still in my opinion this song is what rats should have been.
For some reason...song does NOTHING for me. :(

Fitting the band's nihilistic imagery, Spaceland had the perfect combination of tacky hipster panache and '70s dirtball sleaze. The venue's sparkly chartreuse back curtain made it resemble a high school auditorium. It was the perfect quirky little club for what will be a legendary show.
In true noir fashion, Deftones went thematically deep into a seedy underworld. There were songs about seduction, abduction, addiction and eerie existentialism. Or were there? That's the best thing about the Deftones: that mystique. Very few bands have it. You could psychoanalyze the lyrics for a year and never know what Moreno truly means. That's why the audience clung to his every word.
Intellectual trappings aside, Deftones still slay on stage, and this particular show channeled an unbridled live ecstasy. From the second Moreno uttered the words, "Uh oh," the band was primed to go off. Opening song "Hexagram" swung like a guillotine, as Moreno sprung across the stage with unmatched fury. The crowd immediately exploded, bouncing with every riff. On "My Own Summer," Abe Cunningham and Chi Cheng's drum n' bass groove dripped sex, while "Lotion" was a kinetic aural riot somewhere between The Cure's swoon and Bad Brains' psychosis. "Around the Fur" evoked images of a downward spiral so deep Trent Reznor couldn't even comprehend it—Hollywood's drugs, depravity and dire loneliness collided in the song's hellish landscape.
"Beware" was the soundtrack to a personal apocalypse, complete with crickets. However, the evening's one new song, tentatively titled "Melanie," proved simultaneously rapturous and deadly. Moreno prefaced it by saying, "You haven't heard this one yet." The song's sharp riff clashed and killed, while the chorus soared. The singer lunged into the crowd, and his voice sailed across Carpenter's tidal wave of distortion during the hook. The new cut was edgy and vibrant—like all great Deftones songs are. "Change," "Knife Party" and "Digital Bath" added that classic space rock element to the show. The band excelled in conjuring gorgeously dark imagery through Frank Delgado's bleeding synths and Carpenter's torrential guitar work. "Hole In The Earth" kept up the space theme before "Passenger" brought everything back to that sexual darkness that the band does all so well.
Moreno's raw, refined rage got better with age. He commanded the crowd with a combination of youthful charisma and wise bravado. In between songs, he smiled, "I see a whole lot of motherfuckers I know out there. I'm glad you made it out to this." They were even happier to be there. This was set for the fans. Cuts like "Root," "Nosebleed" and "7 Words" eliciting massive and crazed crowd responses from the airtight club. One fan swung from a speaker as Moreno poured his soul out with each scream. The set covered every permutation of the Deftones' sound, from White Pony's lovelorn look at high school to Around the Fur's vile embrace to Saturday Night Wrist's stoned sonic space travel.
Since 1995, Deftones have been the future of rock music. They've influenced alternative music's zeitgeist with every evolution. However, most of the general music audience has always seemed one step behind them. Hopefully, with 2009's offering, the audience finally catches up. Rock music needs Deftones now more than ever. How many bands have created a mystique and weathered trends the way that Sacramento's favorite sons have? How many artists explore darkness through such beauty? Just like any classic noir tale, it was a combination of sex, violence and shifted perspectives. Isn't that what all great art is about?
This has to be one of the STUPIDEST fucking statements I've ever read!!!!

FOD owns that song
Yeah seriously, folks. New song blows.

*high fives*
the new song is good, but just more of the same. it's just like ratpure. only like 2 or 3 riffs.. ehhh
and you people need to forget about FOD, it wasnt even that good to begin with. nothing out of the ordinary, & i certainly dont want a song that old on this new album. that would be a waste.
Yeah. I'm past all the "FYIHYD!!!!" kinda stuff deftones did in the early days. I can kinda tell they made this song as a shoutout to all the fans who want that sound back which is fucking cool. Bands rarely do that for the fans. Once I hear a studio version of the song I'll have a final opinion.
FOD needs to come out as a b-side. New song is OK.... lets hope they have better ones on eros.

FOD is great, but c'mon... it's never gonna go out again, ever.
if they did this song just for the fans they suck so fucking much, but if it's just.. yeah..
joke
You get a little bit of a better idea of what the verse riff is like from that 26 second youtube video.
what a buncha bitches.

just got a chance to really listen to Melanie (couldn't really hear it right at work), fucking shit, it's sick
I like the chorus of this song quite a bit, but the verse if really lacking. Just more of the rah! rah! yah!! fuck it, (high pitch scream!!!!) from Chino. Stef decided to just say fuck it and write Rats! volume 2 for the verse as well. Kind of dissapointing considering how much they use to change styles between albums. It should still be a good album nonetheless just hope they mix it up more than what I'm hearing.

I agree with you nobody
welcome back since snw leaks.
really dissapointing song, no progression since snw (which i hated) but knowing the tones surely this song won't be in the new album.
remember when FOD was played live in an earlier show in the US (guess in 2005) ? That song didn't make the album. Coincidence or maybe not.
nah, this song will be on EROS
FOD was in late 2004, & SNW came out late 2006
that's 2 years to change things. this time, they're already mixing, no time to change, so this is obviously on the record(99%)
To the people who don't like it, wait until you hear a studio version. No offense to the guy who recorded it because he did a damn good job, but it's not crystal clear.
the quality of the recording was fairly decent
i just kinda wish Chino would stop making songs with notes he can no longer hit(like this, & hite, etc). he's gotta realise he went down an octave or 2 when he blew out his voice in late 2000

I don't know man, I think you are missing Deftones' completely "Fuck that shit" attitude. They're known to change shit up right on the spot. ST was supposed to be Lovers. Well fuck, that turned out to be self-titled. Please, Please (Smith's cover) was supposed to be on adrenaline; was even practiced and recorded. That didn't make it cause Terry Date said no.
Personally, I think Melanie is a sorry Deftones song. It should, and can still go the way of FOD. I think, Deftones, as a band, has changed dramatically from the time of White Pony. They are still the best band(as their character and personalities) in the world, but as musicians they have completely been lackluster.
These guys used to be dynamic. Agree or disagree, but they've come to a point where they are like "Well people know us for this shit, so let's play this shit." They've even come to do so many collabs with bands we all hate.
I almost want them to say fuck who we are, lets do a down-tempo album with jazz influence. That would be the best deftones album ever. One that transcends their "metal-godliness."

The song does grow on me. I do like it but, it sounds like SNW. It seems to be played to fast.

Agreed, the video on youtube gives the song a different sound.. I think it will sound much better on the record...And if the little intro part from the studio updates is going to be on the album, this should be a pretty dynamic album. oh and in this song you can hear that little weird noise you hear in one of the Ezrin demos idk which one...

Deftones' "surprise show" at Spaceland in Silverlake played out like a classic film noir. However, instead of femme fatales and criminal conspiracies, the audience got Chino Moreno's sensual, schizophrenic croon and Stephen Carpenter's six-string warfare. It was more than just a concert; it was one moment of sonic transcendence after another. In the tiny room, the sound flipped from decadent decay to brutal beauty with the shift of a guitar chord. However, Moreno's entrancing and destructive voice captured the crowd. It was beyond "hypnotic." It was pure aural kidnapping. Moreno stayed at the wheel, and the audience was a more-than willing passenger.

I really like the new song. It's hard to just say "Nah it's fucking terrible!" It's LIVE!!! I really dislike mostly every performance of Digital Bath live. But the album version is heaven.
I like the riffs... I like the agressiveness, and overall I like his voice! Hubby listened with me and he got chills twice. I've listened to it upwards of 10 times, and it's really grown on me. I can't wait to hear it on the album.
FUCK they sound so good on the bootleg, thx man!...fuck his voice is so crisp and clear... :O
i can only applaud them, all the little things they added and changed or play different...really adds.. take beware, sounds so awesome..

yeah, sounds better than the one from NBC (2001)... but their overall sounds...when i listen to HITE and Beware from that show it sounds so different...everything is audible...maybe even better than on SNW :\ (especially chi's bass...so warm...lovin it)
And then I hear this Digital Bath from last night. Ahhh... he sounds great. Fuck the haters.

Yeeeah...haven't you seen the episode of family Guy where Lois and Peter get high and sing and think its good?? Same thing.
I'm not stoned while listening, and I think it sounds kick ass. I can't wait for the album to drop.... or for them to come to Chicago!

Thanks all for the positive feedback!!! It's always a pleasure to record a show, I do it because I want to share these recordings for all fans!!! Hence why I joined!!!. Oh yeah, there was a guy named Frank who I met who had a super nice video camera (one of dem real expensive ones). Does anyone know who this Frank is? He was contemplating putting up his video but he needed an ok from the band I think... Frank, you there? Let a brotha know!!!

Sorry for the delay guys, a family member was in a car accident and broke his femur, things have been pretty chaotic the last couple of days. I'm going to get all the videos off the camera tomorrow and post em up on youtube, I notice there's not alot of spaceland footage despite all the camera's i saw that night. That Elite video was tight monk, I have a different angle on that song.

I wonder what the hell chino is doing live sometimes, there's no other excuse but lazyness.
for example the chorus of digital bath right there, what in the world is he doing?
