Deftones Appreciation Thread

[Doug N]

Fuck and Yes.

 

[noise in my mind]

I bought around the fur when I was 8 and have been a fan ever since. I saw live last year and it was amazing, they sounded just like the album and chino hit every note perfectly! One of the best live performances I have ever seen!

I love this fucking band! Not one bad album. Love them so much I recently brought myself an SC-607B to add to the collection. They go from strength to strength. Seen them for the second time back in 2011, front row and in front of Steph! Caught 2 of his picks at the end of it...And filmed a song or two!

So, whats everyones fave albums?

 

[matt397]

I'm not sure I could pin point one album, but My Own Summer and White Pony are a tie for first.

 

[MerlinTKD]

Hell yeah!

Always been a peripheral DT fan, was always into Sevendust and Korn more, until about a year before Diamond Eyes came out... not sure what happened, now, other than I began understanding and appreciating the complexity of what they do. After that, I passed along the discography to my girlfriend, who absolutely fell in love (she's always been into rawer, more punk stuff, except she loves ambient electronica), so they became a band we really connected over. A big influence on us when we write music together (and, um, other things ).

Went to see then in Charlotte, the DE tour... she went back and took her kids when they came back through!!

Seriously jazzed about the new disc, WILL be seeing them on this tour!!

So, whats everyones fave albums?

Abe Cunningham is one of the most underrated drummers out there. As much as I love Steph's guitar playing and Chino's lyrics, Abe makes the Deftones for me. So creative and groovy without being overly flashy. I can't wait for the new album.

White Pony>Diamond Eyes>>>>ATF>SNW>>>>>>>>>>>>S/T>Adrenaline.

 

[FireInside]

I was pretty much sold when Adrenaline came out. They just keep getting better and better. Love this band.

 

[SDSM]

Mine is White Pony, then ATF and Diamond Eyes. All their albums are great, those three just flow better to me! To me, self titled and SNW contain their sore songs...Wake Up Beautiful and Mein. Just never listen to them. Though Beware and Hexagram totally redeem them.

 

[ThePhilosopher]

For me it's DE = WP, SNW, ATF, ST, Adrenaline. Diamond Eyes has really grown on me the way White Pony did when I was in high school.

 

[Doug N]

I have an almost impossible time ranking them, I've been a fan since the first came out. I do have to say that Diamond Eyes has found it's way back into my car CD changer and I've listened to at high volume for the last two weeks every day. That guitar is some thick-ass shit.

 

[Triple7]

I'd have to go, White Pony>Diamond Eyes>Around The Fur>Self Titled>Saturday Night Wrist>Adrenaline

 

[SDSM]

I'm glad people here like this band too, I thought everybody was purely into djent stuff for a while there haha, nothing against that, I have huge respect for that and as far as modern metal goes its the most interesting thing out there imo. Was listening to self titled today and thought I might drop my A string on the baritone so its drop G to play around with.

 

[cataclysm_child]

Around the Fur is one of my all time favorite albums. I always come back to that album.

Yeah its a good one! Great transition from Adrenaline into Pony. Lotion and Ihabia kick arse.
