Deftones Bullshit Thread

[Draken]

well, see you all in another three years...

Ha, well, this place will hopefully see some traffic when ††† drops.

Chino said recently (I can't remember where, probably that podcast he did) that they meet up once a month (sans Sergio because east coast and Quicksand) so that could potentially mean they are plotting the next album. Watch this space, I guess.

Can't believe he did it.

A gift from Steph for humanity on xmas! The sound is probably the best I have access to today also.

Sergio's departure really has me wondering about the future of Deftones. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Chino say once he wanted to end Deftones when he was 50? That's not far from now. My prediction: they release Eros next year, go on a farewell tour and then end the band (keep in mind that my Deftones-related predictions are usually wrong.)

Sergio's departure is a bad look for my favorite band.

That's a you problem though, considering we've only heard one side of the story.

That's part of it, the band is uncomfortably quiet. Especially with the tour approaching. Not taking sides, just don't like the look.

Relax, they just need some time to decide which former bassist of will haven they're gonna pick

[GlimmeringMaggit]

I just looked through their Reddit page. What a hot mess. Fuck me.

People really need to evaluate their relationship with music and bands when they're demanding statements about a situation that's none of their business, taking sides on little information and getting emotional because someone left a band.

Genuinely laughable there are people saying they don't feel as able to listen to the band right now. It's pathetic.

that's leddit in a nutshell for ya

Deftones fans are really upset that the band fired the greedy stand-in bassist. They're even angrier than lost prophet fans were when they found out that their singer raped babies

yeaa i don't get it, i'm not upset. honestly, he filled in nicely, but like you said, he wasn't there the first 5 albums, from rags to riches, and the first 3 went platinum, and s/t went gold. the height of their popularity. really, Chino is the only none replaceable one (he needs to, and probably does have a contract where he gets the highest % of their income, cause it's his show. he's really unique, & by far the most crucial member). really, Frank is lucky he's official, cause someone like Crook could replace him in a second (but i guess since he  appeared on the first 2 albums as a guest, he kinda earned it)

i sometimes think it would be really interesting to hear a deftones album with Stephen replaced with someone crazy skilled, writing really complex riffs and leads. i wouldn't be opposed

Last night's episode of Atlanta had Earn randomly finding and keeping a Deftones shirt. Seems Donald Glover is a fan.

This made me laugh so hard

Abe's drumming on their cover of Wax and Wane grooves so hard.

Nice. Nothing beats digital though

[GlimmeringMaggit]

Literally nothing.
