Interest in Poltergeist Guitar Cover?

So other than the fact that I'm waiting with all anticipation for the mythical "studio leak" of Poltergeist that keeps getting snatched up by Warner to actually materialize, I've been going over the live versions of this awesome song a few times, and I think I have most of it nailed. 

I'm curious as to if anyone would be interested in my posting up a cover video that would clearly show what I'm playing?  It'll be self made, meaning I'll have to perform the bass/drums...very crude.  But until I can get the studio track, it'll have to do.

To be quite honest, I haven't felt this much excitement for a studio version for a Deftones song since Rapture was called "FM".  Despite the giant sonic detour our boys have taken with "Leathers" and "Tempest" from their past work (not a bad thing), I honestly feel like "Poltergeist" is such an Around the Fur throwback, especially the guitar work. 

Like I said, let me know if there's interest.

I dont get the comparison to ATF. Why does it remind you of it? That said, hell yes, that'd be awesome :D

I think we should just start a Deftones fan cover thread. But yes id love to see a version of poltergeist. Are you using a 6 or 7 string guitar?

7 string...Stephen Carpenter's SC 607-B to be exact :)

And as far as ATF goes, the guitar is crazy reminiscent of what Stef used to play, same with Chino's vocals.

I remember you did some great covers of songs from DE, so yeah, I'd definitely be interested !!



If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face.

Ponte if you want to send me some guitar and bass tracks I can give it a good mix and try and program the drums.

maybe even throw on some vocals, though I dont sound a ton like chino

Well, tried uploading it and even though it's German release day, and they streamed their damn album up online...I got a "not in good standing" notice and the video is blocked world wide, despite giving Deftones and Warner Bros full credit...

Hopefully my dispute will go through.
