Great Q&A. I normally wouldn't believe them when they talk about making their setlists better, but they did attempt it with introducing a lot more Gore songs (only three out of the entire album not played live), switching up the order, Kimdracula, MX, etc. So this time I do believe them. I guess it'll just take time for them all to feel confident enough to switch things up more and more.

I hope they do play Smile, that'd be awesome.

Good to see them just chilling and having fun anyway, usually they do Q&As via writing so it was cool to see them just doing their thing.

Whatever happened to releasing Phantom Bride as a single? Was hoping for "Crest" as a b-side.

Whatever happened to releasing Phantom Bride as a single? Was hoping for "Crest" as a b-side.

It was released as a radio single. B-sides aren't often a thing anymore since singles are rarely released in physical versions. Since DE the band have been very "what you get on the album is what you get period" about their music. Chino was adamant not to have any b-sides, covers or unreleased tracks from KNY and it seems to be the same way with Gore.

Seconded. Deftones do the best covers.

Haha sounds like a dying goat

^

It's kind of meant to sound how Chino did it. Or did neither of you listen to the original?

I swear half the people on this site don't like Deftones.

[Seven]

Wtf sounds like a dying goat haha which not only features some of the most embarrassingly bad vocals ever captured on a record

Wish there were more interviews in existence that had less of the same old recycled questions.
So when did you start playing 7 string? 8 string? How's your tuning? When are you in the studio next? Eros? Zzzz...
Most of the time I just wonder how these tools manage to score an interview in the first place.
