everyone thinks it's great, but no one really explains says why it's a good cover. besides that he sings well (something chino also does) what else do the bad rabbits
add to the song? do they bring something new to it? someday i would like to know

I fully agree that covers should be a new interpretation, its kinda pointless for the original version to exist if you just copy n paste.
I think as long as you really are into the song and you feel youve got a new way of performing it then its as important as the original.  Thats why the tones covers are always so good.  

i agree, they're a rock band but often pick a pop song and paint it with deftones colors.which means something new is born.Can't say that something new is born in the bad rabbits cover.Deftones don't try to sound like the band they cover, they run the song through their hearts and make something new and special in a deftones way.
That's why I can't say this is great cover just because it sounds great

before you go off lets not forget Deftones cover of Drive Like Jehu, or there cover of Sinatra by Helmet. There both equally similar to the originals as this cover of sextape is

they're a rock band but often pick a pop song

once they choose to release a cover on album, it's mostly pop songs they like to transform like chauffeur, to have and to hold, no ordinary love, if only tonight we could sleep and so on, music from a different genre that they choose to treat, adding heavier guitars or adding a heavier ending like in chauffeur . you mentioned Drive like jehu, but ignores the other two covers from that release with cardigans and japan which they do in a deftonish way. the sinatra song is basically the same, just a bit faster and more alert with a bit more attitude in the rhythmic singing. although it's slightly different I agree that it isn't different enough to be interesting as a cover. also not representative of their choices in general of the covers they choose to record on disc. of course one can stare oneself blind on the exceptions but that will lead you nowhere

So, what does one have to do to get some good quality shows from you? Strictly for personal use. I can pretty much guarantee I don't have any deftones shows that you don't already have.

Deftones
wow...great, old shit.

[Hidalgo]

true, cause he didn't cut his dreads till around mid to late mid 96. still old school though

[glasstone1983]

I think this is the correct date Dec 05 1996 Grand Rapids MI Reptile House.  They played there twice that year but the other was Jun 12 1996 Grand Rapids MI Reptile House but Chino either still had dreds or just shaved his head before warped tour.  This video he looks more like he did for Dec 20th San Fran show.

You think maybe bc they were excited and full of fire after Chi and having a little material to share? I hope so, bc if they rest a little before this US tour maybe we'll get a little more of that vibe again. I agree though, seen em early 2010 right after the DE release and they were better than I've ever seen them probably bc of the new material to share. That was also early May, probably ran out of fuel throughout the year ehh?
