ESP Guitars: Stephen Carpenter (Deftones) Interview 2012

"there's the sixth string. when you play on a seven string, that's one more - one more string. on a 8 string - that's two more strings" - can anyone double check and verify this information?

Interview with Chino Moreno - Mexico City - 2.3.2007

Interview with Chino Moreno - Mexico City - 2.3.2007

What an eye opening interview, good find. Some quick facts:
-Chino wrote the first song on SNW name "Pink Cellphone" and wanted to make SNW all electronic but the idea wouldn't happen.
-Bob Ezrin was aiming for a more "pop sound" and shorter songs which adds to why they stopped working together. Chino wanted to expand of them and make them longer. Good for him and EROS (known for having longer songs and a lot more going on in them.)
-Someone from the label was actually present in the studio when the band or Chino was working with Bob Erzin.
-This wasn't the case with Shaun as the label later approved the stuff Chino worked on with him.
-Steph was open to the idea of writing an album with beats and synthesizers ( maybe we can hear some of it in Eros?)
-Chino's distaste for record contracts.
-Chino not caring about sales and expectations. Just wants to make records for fun and good music. Good for us!

I guess this also explains why Bob Ezrin is so popular and produced hit selling albums. Record labels like his approach, "Make money for us" hahah. So happy SNW retained as much of its sophisticated elements.

Deftones - Interview in The Warehouse, Toronto on July 2000.

In relation to one point in that video, I remember thinking just before White Pony came out and how cool/odd/different that name was. I was in college at the time studying art and seeing the artwork etc was a pretty big deal.

So?

I bet that without even reading it I can predict it. It'll be 2 paragraphs that says basically "Deftones have completed recording the follow up to 2010's Diamond Eyes and hope to have it out fall this year. The album is yet untitled." followed by a quote from Chino about how it's dynamic, lush and reminds him of White Pony. There. I saved you from reading it.
