Deftones Tour: Live guide + video footage

[normsteez]

I am not wasting my money on a deftones concert ticket. The days of great set lists are over. I am just glad I was able to see them over the years when the live shows were tremendous.

Its just sad now....

I'll still go whatever as I'm not breaking 19 years of tradition! Yeah the sets might not compare sometimes to the old days but they still pull off some bangers - like London ULU. Personally, I was a tad disappointed prior to that for a while and then that show went down as one of the best for me, so you never know.

I love how every clip has a description of how awesome the show was, they should spend more time griping about the set list and less time enjoying themselves jeeeesh!

[sooniletugo]

Yeah exactly, they really should.

[cvthedrv]

hate this motherfucking band

[pelican fly]

Only thing i don't understand is how they are not playing more songs off of Gore. Besides that, I'm just happy they're still touring and making new music ( music i still enjoy for the most part) .

they got rid of 7 words at least

I'm seeing them on the next show (pompano, Friday) and I'm just fucking disappointed. I've been a fully deftones fan for 13 years, I've only seen them once back in 2007 (I'm from Venezuela, don't judge me) so this will be my second show and yes I'm excited but ever since the first show of this your they played I don't feel the same. For god's sake I'm gonna hear almost the same songs I heard live back in 2007!!! What the fuck... Engine 9 and Root at the end. Again? For about what... 12 years? Cmon... Also I'm sure they're not even gonna play anything from s/t and snw just because they (chino) don't like it anymore. Yes I'm pissed off. The only way I would be happier it's gonna be if I get to meet the guys.

Fuck you chino!!! I know you are the bitch here.

Please tape MX and What Happened To You if they play them, you may be our only ally in this.

I think it's time to ask a question, to what degree does the record company or management have any control over their set list. 

[ZND84]

Vesanique, the lack of diversity in their setlists isn't due to Chino being scared. It comes down to preparation. The members live too spread out making it difficult to rehearse. Chino is one of the most confident frontman in the game.

Maybe they tried the new ones and were like "holy shit, no way we can pull this off.." and scrapped it.

See: Hearts/Wires. Played live twice. Disappeared from playlist. They've elected to use that as their intro track.

I'm sure they are going to play some new material in the future shows.. At least I hope..

Yeah, it seems as though they can't play the H/W intro correctly. They struggled to pull it off at Amoeba, and they skipped it at the Kimmel show. So they just play the recording now. It sucks cause I'd like to hear the whole song.

[77years]

Should be easy:
LMIRL
Rubicon ( vocals are challenging)
Phantom Bride
Xenon
Doomed user

Challenging:
Hearts wires
Gore
Prayers Triangles (strange choice to keep considering high vocal)
Acid hologram (would love to hear a take on this)

No way (but it would be very cool):
Pittura infamante
Geometric headdress

[B_S_79]

I don't see why GH would be hard to pull off. The music isn't challenging. His vocals aren't hard. Nothing more challenging than any of the other type of screamy verses he has. (Hell, I'm convinced he would just YELL the verse during a live performance) The chorus is pretty melodic for him, but they aren't completely out of his range in a live setting.

The chorus for P/T and YSTB are way out of his range and they play them daily.

[B_S_79]

I would KILL to hear GH live. My favorite song on the album by far. Anyone catch those synth noises from Frank in the background? Song sounds chaotic, and I bet it would translate as well as WGTB in a live setting - and give Frank a chance to show off a bit.

Me too, and (L)MIRL.

lot of bands put out new records then do boring ass greatest hits/singles setlists on tour to bring in the $....depeche mode are a perfect example of this...and now the deftones have reached that status (actually they reached it in 2011 and have been there for the past 5 years).......i saw pearl jam back to back nights a few years ago. they did 3 hour sets both nights. 35 songs night 1. 30 DIFFERENT songs night 2..thats  aband that values live performance..the deftones are just a cashgrab touring act these days. glad i didnt spring for tickets on this tour. just so cant wait to hear MOS, BQAD, CITHOF and diamond eyes again

I was in Philly when they did Ten beginning to end. I don't think it's fair to compare Deftones to Pearl Jam, but I'll have to admit that seeing Pearl Jam's recent set lists on how varied they are and how they can just play an entire ALBUM (they played Binaural beginning to end two nights ago) on a whim night to night, really got me thinking about how disappointed I am in Deftones set list choice the last few nights.

[ANattyRat]

I honestly just don't understand how they can only play two new songs on a tour promoting an album. Every album except self-titled and Saturday Night Wrist have more songs played, and that's absurd. I love Digital Bath, it's one of my favourite songs, but if they took that song out for a year and replaced it with a new song or song they hardly ever/never play, would any of us care? I doubt it. If they take out some songs, yeah, some people's favourite songs might be taken out, but they've played them 100s of times, so who cares? I think most, if not all, of us would appreciate them playing other songs, even if they're not songs we personally love. Because it makes that setlist, that performance, special.

If anyone sees them, bring it up. Rocket Skates, Diamond Eyes, My Own Summer, etc. can be taken out for a while and replaced with Gore songs. Like seriously, it's time to tour Gore with GORE SONGS.

They've been playing Rickets, which is cool, and they've played MX and WHTY, which is also cool. They said they wanted to switch up the setlists and add older songs and stuff, so I'm glad they've at least done a bit of that. But god, are we going to have to wait until they tour the next album before they play another song from Gore???

I did my best.

The same setlist. No surprises here. It was a great show tho. Chino went crowd-surfing and it was great. I have that on video, I'll post it later.
