Deftones Bullshit Thread

[BillyNo.9]

I like how the rapper is probably on his way to that teenie party. Makes my lol

[pinkmaggit]

For reasons I can't figure out this is probably one of the least favourite Deftones songs off probably the least favourite albums of most of this forums users.
I personally love it and it's the song that made me go out and buy my first Deftones CD after having somehow forgotten about the greatest band on earth.
One thing I have to admit though is that Serj Tankian's part is pretty lame and doesn't really add anything to the song. Quite disappointing really as I'm a big SOAD fan too.
Anyway it's interesting to know that this song was not originally meant to sound how it does in its current form.
I found this interview where Stef tells us how it was one of the many songs that Chino 'repeatedly mutilated' by chopping it apart and changing it with Shaun Lopez.
I think a lot of people would have preferred the song if it was a bit more stripped down and organic  like it sounds at the beginning of the clip.
It would be interesting to here how SNW would have sounded if Chino and Shaun hadn't fiddled so much but I'm not complaining as I really love SNW - the whole album! - yes even incl. Pink Cellphone, which I think serves it's purpose well of acting as a little interlude.
I think the Mein's riff itself is very cool - it actually reminds me a lot of BQAD for some reason. It actually took me a little while until I realised it was in fact the riff to Mein I was listening to.
Here's the clip - enjoy:

Penicks why must you always be such an asshole? don't answer. rhetorical question. I thought this was a forum for people to talk about the band and things related to it. Why make him feel bad? He posted a link to a single website, big fucking deal.

i would guess around 98% of the members here think penick brings a lot of entertainment to the board when he's being this "asshole" so just let him do his thing is what i say. if one person gets hurt and 100 are amused i think it's good statstics

[defsteve]

well...mmh
sorry dudes i did not want to steal your time.
i just thought of that site because i heard about it  when i was crawling out of my prehistoric cave.
and i never said that this is the hottest shit for  you A+highdefextracoolnumberonedeftonesplatinumfans.
but don`t you think its a little ignorant and arrogant to make fun of me for having this thought for the first time?
maybe there are some people who did not thought of it too?
no big news for you but like jbmp1390 said i was excited and i thank him for being cool with me living on the fucking moon.

so,sorry for pissing on your carpet

leave britney alone

Enjoy yourself. Haters gonna hate.

I just really dig Abe's playing on that track. In fact I'd say SNW is some of his finest work. Chino indeed ruined it but I like it how it is. Just cut out serj's useless vocals and it'd be better.

what it really is: entertainers gonna entertain

[sing blue silver]

I think penicks brings the lulz big time.

[from_musings]

yeah. and there's people trying to shut him up, what's this world coming to? trying to ruin it for the majority and shit, i'd say those are the real assholes

I don't care about people being funny, usually he is. I just thought he was being a dick. All the person did was post a single link to a website. I just don't think they should be made to feel bad about that. Guess I'm wrong.

I agree with that - his drumming really stood out on SNW for me - somehow the drumming didn't have the same impact on DE - it just didn't seem as creative to me.
ATF is another album where I think Abe excels.
Back to SNW - the highlight of Abe's performance for me has got to be the blastbeat in Rats!

i read in an interview (in visions i guess) back  when snw came out about the making of mein.
serj had written and sung lyrics to the full song, verses and chorus.but chino wanted to put his own thing on it so all whats left of it was that universe stuff.
i totally love that song for its uptempo and it was something i never heard from deftones before.

Steph made the ladder and everyone climbed it, with swords and cannons, the whole song takes me on a pirate journey. Steph you rock!!
