sounds like me when i first started playin when i was 15….ps also horrible sound.
Beautiful
that would be quite funny and it would prob produce some more great music
Anyone know the strum pattern for this?? I can’t seem to get it exactly right
MEIN?I wonder if this is all the conflict I heard about during the recording of SNW?? Either way, I gotta say it came out sooo fkn good one it’s of my favorite albums ever
You make sense to a person that knows nothing about playing an instrument, like myself. I feel like it’s possible for me to play at least like chino, lol.
Love this song and the entire SNW album. A lot of people don't like it but I absolutely love it.
Sounds better stefs way
He is such a huge inspiration to me even though they're not my favorite band in part of his being humble is the reason he's such a huge inspiration to me
This is awful !
Well that's what make Deftones good, trying to reconcile their differences is what creates and delivers their awesome sound.
I remember the first time my friend said the word deftones I couldn’t get the word out of my head we where just casually talking about music and I asked what he was listening to and he said “ deftones dude you gotta listen to deftones.” It’s weird because I was only 14 at the time and just listening to pop punk and some metal this shit changed so much for me as far as music goes. Love this band love this guitarist such good music!
I can understand why he switched to Fishman's
Steph, go death. Do a solo album.
That sounds like total shit.
It had a Blackgaze feels to it
Stephen and Chino —Magic-when it's all said and done!
Being in a band with Chino Moreno sounds like it'd be the most frustrating thing ever.
I feel like maybe the reason why Chino chops up the takes is because he thinks like a beatmaker. being that he grew up on hip-hop it makes sense since rappers are always tweaking instrumental arrangements to fit a specific take that they probably have in their mind
that constant battling between steph and chino would create alot of tension in other bands that would probably lead to breaking up .
this is hilarious how much they back and forth yet still make killer songs
I prefer Stef's version. So much unused material from that album. The Bob Erzin demos luckily leaked ages ago. Finger of Death is one I wish would've made it. Stef's riff is fucking KILLER! Makes me wanna punch a baby and throw it at a grandma to make her trip!
chino is the reason u still have fans big boy
Chino was right on this one though.
Easily could be the riff from Portal
La cara e volao
Same thing with Tool and many other bands – But I guess the vocalist really needs to be the last layer…
Guitarist/Songwriter will always battle with Vocalist/Songwriter
if they just keep goin one after another maybe one day we will have a 1 1/2 hr DEFTONES song.im kool with that.
Sounds like pure honest sex for the most part lol.
Mmmmmm Mein is one of my absolute favourites.
