ST IS RAWER THAN DE.

[bewareofrats]

I don't think it's a far stretch to compare the music of S/T and DE in terms of heaviness, but between the music and the vocals, S/T is way heavier.  It is significantly more aggressive.

[Inkblades]

It's not too much of a stretch. There are heavy moments on every Deftones album, after all. It's just that article I posted made it sound like S/T wasn't heavy at all.

[bewareofrats]

Yeah that part was ridiculous.  Thanks for posting it by the way, it was an interesting read.

Alright rumors, can you let us know if you're going to share this new track with us today, before it's supposed debut next week? That would be awesome... Just sayin...

RUMORS!

It's an animals as leaders shirt.

Oddly enough though I seem to recall an interview with chi talking about the band members political views or something and he mentioned Stephen was a republican supporter and how odd it was with his copious pot smoking.

[976-EVIL]

Republicans like to get high as much as Democrats. They just prefer Upper Class quality versus Middle Class...

[Teknoman]

I thought it was an Obama shirt too... but after a closer look it said Tobama and i said "Oh, Tosin Abasi!"... the guy is an 8-Strings guitar god, maybe he inspired Stef to use tapping on the new record... who knows.

Stef knows....

[Jerry_Curls]

I love that last sentence. I always prefer other members' interviews over Chino's. I definitely agree with his statement that every record they've put out doesn't sound like the last but still has their touch. TOUCHE STEF!

so good..
i thought that too, but i was mighty high... so it is true! good catch man...   didn't know there were AAL fans floating about here

Animals As Leaders: the only instrumental band I like. Cool that he was partly inspired by watching him, he's amazing so presumably, Dazzle (what's its real name?) will sound a lot different? Could be one of the most unique-sounding Deftones songs...maybe.

could end up being their most technically difficult song to play as well. i'm gonna assume if Stephen fingertaps the whole song, that Chino plays the ryhthm riffs. i doubt it's Stephen alone just fingertapping, but it's possible. he didn't say Chino plays in the song, but didn't say Chino wasn't on guitar in the song either. yea this one is very interesting because the MASSVE SUPRISE of finger tapping. it's the song i'm looking forward to the most so far
