Chino & Abe at 2nd annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards 2010

[Subliminal]

To be honest, I don't think Chino would give half the people the time of day on here. So disrespectful and rude.

I'm glad he's healthy also, why wouldn't I be? but Jesus, who gives a fuck if he was overweight. I saw them 4 times the last time they passed through and Chino was about the most energetic person I've seen on stage and this is no understatement, he didn't let it effect him. Clearly his so called fans were more effected by it, always the way 

Just waiting for the ''He should dye his hair blonde again'' comments now.

jesus Im getting sick of the people complaining to the people who are glad he lost weight. his voice in SNW... you could just hear him trying to sing through all his fat. he sounds so much better on DE.

Why would he be offended by that? He did good! He lost weight and put a great performance on disc! I say good for you Chino!

Because of this, for instance:

...and for some reason i can hardly take someone seriously when they look like Jaba The Hutt...

Fat people makes me laugh. I'm going to hell.

I wonder how fat can affect his voice. I think a lot of fans are happy about him being fit again because listening to ba band with a fatty frontman was... embarassing.

[Moz]

You don't know that being fat changes the tone of your voice?

[anguria]

It's not proved. A lot of opera singers are more than chubby, and some critics think Maria Callas' voice got worse after her weight loss.
This is not Chino's case of course, but it seems to me you're just trying to convince yourself you wanted Chino slimmer for the sake of Deftones music and not because you don't like fat people.

[anguria]

...

How do you know it depends on his weight?

[anguria]

...

So fat MUST have the opposite effect!

ok I'm done with this discussion. if you don't hear on SNW that it's a fat dude singing, then good for you. too bad I hear it.

[saltinut1]

[skinnypuppy]

oh that sucks, I was there in the VIP all night and too drunk to notice the award show. Had no idea they were in the house. they werent hanging out.

[pony_01]

at least he didn't/doesn/t look like this...

please.. thats not funny

[wheresmysnare]

I'm glad Chino is thinner, he used to look like a bad ass, he is getting his swagger and style back, i know it's shallow and pretty damn gay to say it but it's true. I do agree that chino never sounded worse than on SNW, which was when he was at his most physically unhealthy, it was like you could get the idea of what he was trying to do with his voice but it was just failing on him. I don't really listen to SNW for this reason. I have to say chino's vocals totally surpassed my expectations on diamond eyes, his physical transformation has to have had some correlation to this. Anyway fucking respect to chino for losing weight, i have a peado beer belly and i can't even get rid of it
