INFO: Deftones is a band with strong roots in the alternative metal scene. They started out as a nu-metal band that went from simply playing heavy riffs, screaming and rapping a bit, to creating a more nuanced sound mixing shoe gaze, electronic samples and pop inspired melodies into their metal music. Because of their willingness to experiment, they’ve sometimes been called the Raidohead of Metal. Let’s find out if they deserve that title.

I discovered Deftones way too late. They have this romantic style where you want to hear their music when you are driving at a hot summer night or just want to gaze at the stars. Brilliant.
Why do you think it was too late? Better late than ever. But i think it would be awesome to be in the crowd at a show just
when they started blowing up though. Fantastic description though.
Yes. It’s music for vastness.
Cyber romance for a desert at night
I always felt this way about Deftones. Something about “night drivin” as I call it with the windows rolled down blasting Deftones Around the Fur back in the day when I first got my driver’s license was a big deal for me.
THIS THIS THIS. i didn’t find them until i was about 25 and i think one summer i listened to passenger five times in one day
Not so, listen to (Like) Linus, Adrenaline and Around The Fur, their best albuns, White Pony forward its to much light, s3xual and silly.
Fun fact for the day: Madonna heard them and made sure they were signed.
Kris Frederick is that true??
@@MarioRamil Yessir, they're signed to her label. Or, were I have no idea now.
True.
Damn, respect
It’s true. She heard them and signed them to her Maverick record label. They may be the first band, not sure?
I remember the first time I heard Be Quiet And Drive. Literally fell in love as soon as the song finished. Still probably the most powerful feeling over a song I've ever felt.
Me too!!! It was the very first deftones song I'd ever heard. I remember it playing on the radio one summer afternoon and I remember thinking I never wanted that sensation to end. It was like an orgasm! haha I never knew music could move me like that.
That song put me in a trance the first time I heard it, it happens every time to this day that song is something special and I don’t know how else to put it
The acoustic version is breathtaking
Have you heard their slowed down more chill version of Be Quiet and Drive? It's so beautiful. Please take a listen :)
Automatically stare on blank space everytime I hear this song 🖤
If you love deftones.. I love you.
edit: thanks for all the positivity and love guys it means a lot
Good. Love you back :)
Likewise.
One love
I understand that mindset completely... I love you too... RIP CHI CHENG
I love you toooooo
Radiohead of metal? Nah, they're the Deftones of music.
Lol that's one way of putting it.
They are one of a kind
let's find out if they actually deserve...say what? lol
FUUUCCKKK thank you for stating that. They are in their own class!
I was offended by that “let’s find out if hey deserve it” lol Deftones own a genre all their own. They don’t deserve, they simply just are.
Has anyone noticed how Deftones is "night" music?
It feels odd to listen to during the day.
And it feels so right to listen to during the night.
I used to listen to this when I sneaked into my girlfriend's room through the window without her parents noticing haha. This was 10 years ago. So I associate the music with getting some during my teenage summers xD
I get what you’re trying to say but I don’t agree, I can listen to it at any time of the day, Deftones to me is like Winter and Fall music it just has to be cloudy and cold lol if that makes sense
I like to listen to them during the day in the right mood, but I 100% understand what you mean by night music. It's like, the lack of light helps you hear the music more. There are some songs, in general not just theirs, that you can hear and feel the absence of sound just as much as the presence. In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins is a great example as well. Something completely unlike anything Deftones does but still has that quality. But it's something Deftones has mastered. You can hear it during parts of Adrenaline and some more in Around the Fur, and then it's pervasive, in a good way, from White Pony onward.
The only song of theirs that feels daytime is, ironically, My Own Summer. Which is about hating the daylight and hotness of summer....
fr !!
Koi No Yokan was stunning. Still play that album when driving at night
Play it while driving through Las Vegas at night. That must be the perfect scenery
Would love to see goon squad live
That kind of comment wants me to plan a roadtrip with other Deftones fans
koi No Yokan is awesome.
@@LieLikesMusic i live here in vegas and i just started getting into deftones, i will do this soon 😊
Deftones have never made a bad record
Gore was leaning towards being bad. It's mediocre imo
Ben B never
Lie Likes Music maybe compared to all the previous albums, but bad? No way. It felt like a solid rock album imo
Koi no yokan was not great man. Not terrible either, but not great.
Abbazabba 81 It is a great album by most fans & music critic standards. If it didn’t meet your standards, that’s all you
around the fur will forever be one of my favorite albums of all time
👍
Ikrrrrr

Same. Reminds me of college in 2001...
I'm 16 as I'm writing this; I was born in 2004; I only recently discovered deftones but I've been listening to them CONSTANTLY. Something about their music just carries me away in a way no other band has. I know I'm not an old fan or anything but I intend to carry their music with me through the whole rest of my life.
Ey that's awesome! I felt the same way when i started listening to them back in 2012. And i still feel that same way whenever i listen these days. They're one of the more magical bands i've found. What's your favorite album so far?
@@LieLikesMusic Diamond eyes! :D
@@savampire3275 Same here.
Samee I’m gonna be 17 soon and I started listening to them around my 16 birthday last year
Im 36. First heard Deftones in 1997. I promise you. Their music will carry you through the hardest times of your life like no other band. Enjoy your journey
Somewhere, Someone who has never heard Deftones music before is watching this. They are falling in love. Feels Good.
Yes that's the reason why i made this video in the first place. For the old fans that want a nostalgia trip,
for the people who need to listen more to them and fall in love again, and for those who are brand new
to them and will find one of their all time favorite bands.
Lie Likes Music you’re doing a special thing man keep it up
Me
I’m 50 years old and I remember the song “change” but I don’t remember any of their other stuff. After watching this I’m kind of confused why I didn’t listen to more. So I spent a few hours listening to all their stuff and it’s incredible. How did I not know more about them? Crazy! IM A HUGE FAN NOW!
@@oldmanballer5088 It's never too late, glad you finally found them.
Sextape is by far my favorite song ever
The video is dope as hell too
Thanks Paola! That song is dope as fuck. The whole Diamond Eyes album is a masterpiece.
Agree! Sextape is a great one. I also really like this cover version by "bad rabbits", check it out: th-cam.com/video/CQR4ewtfZp4/w-d-xo.html
Cheers
Lorenz Leppin Yeah I saw a little of the cover. The singer was pretty good!🤟
@@lorenzleppin6961 oh my god im dead this cover is amazing
Same
Deftones is easily has the most consistently good material compared to thier contemporaries
What contemporaries do you think of?
Lie Likes Music Literally every other “nu Metal” era band lol
While I still like Korn I mostly agree. Though I didn't really consider Deftones Nu Metal. They were always experimental to me. From one song to another it was something different while still being completely Deftones. So I couldn't label then Nu Metal.
Also the fact most "Nu Metal" bands sounded so similar back then, made me think of Deftones as something different.
The contemporaries are the plethora of Nu-Metal bands from the time. Korn perhaps the notable exception. Limp Bizkit, Static X, P.O.D, Disturbed, Papa Roach, Il Nino, Drowning Pool amongst others. The breadth of their work never had real evolution in sound, as their got stuck in their early success formulas. The Deftones were always different in that regard, in their willingness to just go in a different direction.
Agreed, they transcended their nu metal origins and truly came out with a voice of their own, it's rare for bands to have such longevity and relevance.
Deftones is one of those rare things that when I see someone who also likes it, it makes me give them that little head nod as in "hell yeah i'm with you".
feel this way bout alice in chains
I m with you
The only band where I can have all of their albums on shuffle and love and feel to every single song and never get tired of it
Right?
I have them all on an old iPhone in the car.
Keep on constantly playing on Spotify on my hour drives to work. Never get tired of it. In fact if It would be likely fuck my day up if I didn't listen to at least one song lol.
Agree. I relate many songs/diff bands to day or night or certain weather or energy in the air.
I'm not a big fan of their early chaotic stuff, but anything since Diamond eyes is in my top list (plus White Pony and part of Around the fur)
My auntie is a huge deftones fan so growing up I was always with her and she was always playing deftones. As I got older I realize that deftones can be used for any mood. Like sexy time, angy time, sad times, happy times, etc. They go hard and still do with their new albums. They legit have no bad songs. Maybe one you like but not enough to listen to all the time but it still bops.
Theyve been my favorite band for over 25 yrs. As a "nu metal" band they clearly have proven to be the most talented and beautiful who can keep putting new stuff out and isnt hammered to death by radio (like regular radio lol) and then laid to rest like just abt every other band in that genre. RIP CHI CHENG
Ha ha yeah exactly! They go absolutely perfectly with every mood for sure. I grew up with these guys. Where most bands slowly fall off and cant no longer pull the listener in, deftones is just that band that never gets old, never makes you like "ugh again?!"
@@brandihodges20 keep rocking bee :)
Damn am I your aunt? Lol just kidding. It just reminded me of my nephew reading this Comment. I got him into deftones as a young teen and he's now almost 30 and still banging everything I showed him growing up....kudos to your auntie for being cool like me. 😀
One of my goals of being an aunt is to show my nieces and nephews Deftones music ♥️
I love how some of their songs can sound so unsettling and so peaceful at the same time. Cherry Waves is a perfect example of a song that feels peaceful and haunting at the same time. It’s beautiful honestly, and only Trent Reznor and Deftones can make a song with that sort of feeling, but with a different kind of sound. Love the Deftones (and NIN), hope to see them at ACL this year with Metallica.
That's a good comparison. They both have that ability to strike beauty and discomfort at the same time.
And i haven't hard many other bands that can do that in te same way. NIN are releasing a new album soon right?
Lie Likes Music yeah they’re supposed to release an ep in a little bit, heard the new track and it sound pretty good.
Guess what? We're friends now!
You're right. I love Cherry Waves. Immaculate.
Deftones just reminds me of something, like riding around at 1 am on a hot,stale and muggy night
It's the middle of summer and maybe you just got introduced to a really cute girl and she wants to meet, so you drive out to meet her...the windows are down..the air could almost choke you it's so thick but you bare it as the street lights illuminate the roads in front of you while "976-Evil" blasts through your speakers and you drive on through the night.
That's a great mental picture dude. Thanks for painting it! Totally fits with this music too.
What's your favorite Deftones album btw? Mine is Diamond Eyes.
@@LieLikesMusic diamond eyes as well!
💓💓💓
I recently saw them live- could not control my emotions. It was an incredible experience and I didn't stop crying the whole show.
I got to see them live too! Back in April. It was amazing
Im about to see them for the first time in Dayton Fl this May. Welcome to Rockville. _-_ I cant wait.
gotta manifest to watch them live myself someday
Awwww ❤
@@starladaxon7269so cringe
One of my absolute favorite bands of all time.
That's awesome. Is your music inspired by them to some extent?
Most definitely. I feel like I grew up with them. Adrenaline and Around the Fur had such an impact on me as a teenager, and when White Pony came out towards the end of high school. My Own Summer was one of the first songs I learned how to play on guitar. They got lumped into numetal thing, but I've always felt like they were in a league of their own. It's probably not super apparent in my pop music but they've always been a huge influence of mine.
RAC You should make a deftones remix! Com truise actually made t work
RAC it’s to bad can’t find more dudes like you that have an appreciation for one of the BEST BANDS ever!!..shit Ive even thrown a deftones decal on every car I’ve ever bought ..I live in Vegas and have yet to of come across a dude that loves Deftones as much as me?!🤷🏼♀️
Deftones have been my all time favorite band since I learned about them in the late 90's!!!
Deftones stirs emotions within me I didn’t know existed, which is why they’ve been my favorite band ever since I discovered them in high school. They’re absolutely mesmerizing live. My fiancé and I plan to dance to their cover of ‘Drive’ at our wedding. Couldn’t get married without them being involved somehow. 🖤
That’s so awesome! Congrats on the wedding. I fell in love with them for the same reason. I discovered the band late in 2011 when I was 17. Their vibe is unique I’ve never heard or experienced anything like them before I fell in love instantly. So dreamy, sexual, deff bought out all type of emotions In me
Sick ass wedding
Totally agreed, Deftones are their own genre. Wall-to-wall audio beauty.
Awesome! Go you!
Oh my god!! Me and wife danced to that cover at our wedding too. I remember showing my wife and friends that song and they were absolutely blown away by how good it is. I’m glad someone else just gets it :) (I know this comment is 2 years old now but I had to give my take!)
Around the Fur is an album that EVERYONE should listen to before they die.
My favorite track of theirs is Minerva. It's heavy, but has that dreamy weightless floaty-ness to it. I feel like that trait covers most of their music. Even the heavy screamy stuff has this weightlessness about it.
True. It seems like they hit the perfect balance between heavy and light atmospheres in their music.
They focus more on this in their later discography though. Adrenaline was more or less "pedal to the metal".
They've known how to evolve without losing their own essence. Thats why I love theirs music.
Great video!
For sure. Consistency has always been a sentral building block in this band
Chino's voice makes me cry. This band is otherworldly. My cousin Daniel introduced me, even though I wasn't into them at the time, back in early 2000s. I will forever equate Deftones and Daniel, who passed in June 2021. He was a vet and he'd had a hard life, but he was like a brother to me. I can't hear Xerces without thinking of him. I love you brother. We'll meet again. 🖤
One of the most overlooked and insanely talented bands of today, thanks for covering them!
No worries. Yes i really hope they get more attention as time goes by.
They're not overlooked at all. They are critically acclaimed and have sold millions of records. They are highly regarded. You don't know what "overlooked" means.
Overlooked? No sir.
Dude every single metalhead/Hiphoppers ive met have heard of deftones.
Chino is one of the most creative and powerful vocalists I've ever heard. So much respect. One of my absolute favorite bands. Thanks for this vid!
No worries. I feel the same way. Would love to do videos on some of Chino's side projects too.
But that will have to wait for a bit.
Lie Likes Music
I'll have to look into those projects! Keep doing what you doing brother. I appreciate it.
Heve you ever hear Kurt Cobain? Chino is a copy of him man, inventor of those new styles was Kurt also singing, i loved Deftnes until i found early nirvana recordings, than they were blown away with creator of moderate rock!!! Listen to Fecal Matter demo from Kurt
I heard someone say this before but Deftones makes music to help express the feelings you can’t verbally communicate. Their riffs, screams, both soft and loud vocals help express how you feel at a certain time. They’re not just a one type of song band, they have a wide range and variety of sounds. These sounds help us imagine and create an image of these feelings we can’t picture on our own. Deftones music helps escape from whatever you’re feeling or helping find what’s wrong. Interpret the music as you will, but this is personally how I feel about this.
Precisely
exactly
people ask me why i listen to their music when everything else that i listen to is rap, but their songs just express how i feel so well
R.I.P. Chi Cheng. I seriously thought he was gonna make it. Made improvements. So sad. I cried when I read the news that day 😞
Despite my absolute love for White Pony, I think Koi No Yokan is the best thing they ever did. Its like they took everything that was great in their previous works and blend it into perfect "Deftones" sound. Agressive, groovy, dreamy and beautiful combo of metal and shoegaze with something special here and there. Good video, subbed.
This comment absolutely nails it. No album like it before or after. For myself, I remember the album coming and thinking I'm so excited about this, but this is not the time in my life for this album... and waiting till the following summer to really embrace this album, go for long runs and drives and boat rides. This album changed my life for the better, and as musicians and humans, that the greatest compliment one could give. Rip Chi, deftones for life.
Koi No Yokan is my favorite album from them. I don't know what they tried to do with it, but each song for some reason reminds me of a different 70's or 80's song. For example, Graphic Nature, the very first time I heard it, Maneater by Hall & Oates popped into my head. With Rosemary it was The Chauffeur by Duran Duran. Entombed reminded me of some Rush songs and would be at home among all the power ballads throughout the 80's.
Koi no Yokan and Saturday night wrist are underrated albums
Yes Koi No Yokan is ridiculously good.
I'm glad to see so many other people that give KNY the praise it deserves. How would you rate their albums?
Here's my list:
1 Diamond Eyes
2 White Pony
3 Koi No Yokan
4 Saturday Night Wrist
5 Deftones
6 Around The Fur
7 Adrenaline
8 Gore
"Hexagram" is a good example of Chino's vocals on that album but "Bloody Cape" really shines as his ability to both sing and scream stronger than ever.
Deftones is one of the coolest band ever, you talking about this band even though when it's not trending and all that crap shows you are truly a fan. *SUBscribed* .
Yes you can count me in as a fan. Listened to them since i was 17 and i still love them to death.
Thanks for subscribing!
One of my favorite bands rn. They're versatile and always using cool soundbites. His vocals are phenomenal too
Totally agree! Sub!
I'm not surprised they made it because they kept on the road. But their musicianship and sing suck....like bad. I've seen many shows in Sacramento when other bands were hitting the same small clubs and the Crest Theatre...including Cake and later on Papa Roach who acrually can play their instruments. They are nice guys, however..
Xerces is my favorite Deftones song. It's pure perfection.
Diamond Eyes is a masterpiece
The Deftones are probably the most underrated band in music period. Thank you for highlighting my generation’s best kept secret!
It's not a secret anymore :) they really deserve more attention tho. So no problem. Long live Deftones
Deftones=sound of my soul
They literally saved my life. Damn I love this amazing band
Love them too. Glad to hear that they helped so many people 😃
Lie Likes Music Amen, honestly came close to ending my life, until i heard around the fur, and then my young life made sense.
💯💯💯💯
That's so wild that you phrased it that way. I was just explaining them today and was saying how they are basically my DNA in sonic form. It's like I'm plugged in a handful of ways, and the elements that come out of me sound like the Deftones.
I always felt there was a warmth and smothness to their sound compared with most of nu-metal bands of the time. They were all aiming to combine mellow and aggressive musical elements in their tracks, but for me, Deftones' work is magnificent in that sense. Maybe it was due to their openness to different styles and ease of navigating nu-metal tropes.
No matter how much I love black metal and gazillion other genres, I will always regard Deftones as one of my top 10 bands. Their discography is near perfect!
They're in the top 10s for me too. What other bands are in your top shelf?
Lie Likes Music this is gonna be tough for me but I'll try anyway! Many bands are super close so this list isn't completely accurate.
Devin Townsend, Opeth, Enslaved, Ihsahn, Deftones, Leprous, Panopticon, Gojira, Cult Of Luna and let's say Mastodon. What about you, what's your top 10?
@@franlovelsimic8421 Devin Townsend, Enslaved, Opeth, and Ihsahn you got the masters of extreme progressive metal there. Loved Emperor but Ihsahn solo stuff is defiently thinking man's black metal.
This band definitely changed my life, they are unlike anything I have ever listened to. They are simply amazing, godly, something that bores in your soul forever. Thank you for this video
For sure. Feel the exact same way, which is why i was so happy to see people requesting this band in the comments.
Cheers from Norway.
I’ve known about Deftones for so long but only just recently actually listened to their music… when I say I INSTANTLY fell in love, I feel like it’s an understatement. They’ve been playing constantly since.
This band is incredible. Not one bad album.
Gore was a bit "meh" in my opinion.
It takes a while to get used to, that's for sure, but it grows on you. I think the vocals are too low, which I find odd. Phantom Bride is a fantastic track.
SNW was meh at first, but now its equal to their best. Gore will mature in time, like all deftones albums do.
Change (In the house of Flies) is probably one of the coolest alternative metal song of the decade.. it simple gives me bliss in everyway listening to it all the time 18 years down..
im 12 year-old, 2022. listening deftones it always feels so different
Easily one of the most unique and consistently interesting rock/metal bands of the 90's and 00's. Still putting out killer albums too. You should do Primus or Les Claypool too!
Yes i would love to make videos about Primus and Les. Thanks for pushing me in that direction.
Gwynplaine de Pétroleuse cool mutualist pic
90s 00s and the 10s have never made a bad album and maybe 1 or 2 bad songs out of 8 albums
Asking if Deftones deserve to be compared to Radiohead is a slap in the face to Deftones. Deftones is one of the most well respected bands of our generation.
Well it's a good thing that i didn't compare them then i guess.
But as Radiohead is a highly influential band that a ton of people
respect, i don't think it's a bad comparison.
Dont hate on radiohead though. Deftones are my favorite band but the comparison is far from an insult. Radiohead is widley known as one of the most experimental bands of all time and they are quite good at what they do.
The Deftones basically influenced every post hard core band that came out in the late 2000s they are bigger than people give them credit for
DropNinety not better than radiohead.
it's rather an analogy, than comparison. you get triggered because you see names of two bands, though it's not better/worse, just different, don't understand the frenzy.
They give me nostalgia even though I started listening to them only about a year ago… they’re an anomaly, to say the least
Understanding The Dillinger Escape Plan!
YASSS!
I look forward to the vid! :D
PLEASE! dep! dep! dep!
Saw Deftones and Dillinger Escape Plan in Charlotte NC in 2012ish at the amphitheatre behind The Filmore.. Great venue and one of the BEST SHOWS EVER! Chino and Dimitri started singing Passenger then it started raining and then a tornado warning came out so everyone ran off stage and security made the crowd pile into the Fillmore. CHINO*PASSENGER*RAIN FALLING#NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE!!
Lie Likes Music 🤣
Dark,sexy and fleeting , it's like you can't catch it in a moment.
Greatest band of all time. Their lyrics and sounds are completely original and sound like no other band on Earth. Love these guys!
You're totally right about the lyrics. And also Chino's voice is unlike anyone else i've heard. Thanks for watching.
That's a stretch man. I love them deeply but best band ever? I guess music is subjective
it makes a lot of sense for Koi Ko Yokan to be their most well balanced record in terms of sound. Rosemary transitions from melancholy and soft despair straight into freight train demon action especially well, I love it so much
also, those alternative album covers are really good
Before watching this, I have to say, Deftones is one of the few artists that I genuinely love all their albums. Not to be hipster fanboy or contrary douche, or to make myself out to be a "real" fan. It's just the honest truth.
Every album has tracks that end up on my all time favorites Deftones tracks. I certainly have my preferences of their albums and songs, but each one has a special place for me. Some took time to grow, and ripened with age in my head. Koi Yo Nokan wasnt one of my favorites, but now it's pretty much a top 3 for me. Again not to be the contrarian douche, but White Pony is probably my least listened too album from them. And its one of the most amazing albums ever made.
Deftones new music often takes time to settle in, and as I listen to it, certain elements become visible, and then my mind will open up, and I'm left amazed at how the song had to creep into my psyche. Rather than immediately hearing a song and be "omg amazing" of "bleah boring". Most of Deftones music took time and grew as I listened.
I mean when I first heard them back in the mid nineties, I honestly wasn't very into them. But one day, I saw the My Own Summer video, and it clicked. I got both albums they had up to that point, and their music continued to grow. Every album started like that.
Maybe 2 or 3 tracks would be my immediate favorite on the first listening, but as the years would go on, every other track began to take shape at different times, for different reasons, and became a fucking masterpiece for me.
So now each album and Id say about 95% of their songs can easily be put in my favorite track list.
No worries man. You do come off as a true fan. Otherwise you wouldn't spend so much time writing this.
Deftones is one of my favorite bands as well. But honestly there are albums they've made that i just don't
appreciate that much. There's always songs from all their albums that click with me, but there's some albums
that i can always listen to all the way through and others i can't. My top 3 list for them would be #1 Diamond Eyes
#2 Koi No Yokan #3 Around The Fur. Thanks for watching dude! It means a lot.
Hell yeah, Deftones is one of the only bands out there that never gets old (no matter how many fucking times you listen to their songs).
For sure! There's just a feeling that always lingers on with their music.
Deftones is unique.
Well said!
Yes. I think everyone can agree with that! Not everyone loves them but they're very interesting!
Ok
Lovely grammar
Deftones ❤️
Wow. As a musician from Sacramento that is heavily influenced by Deftones, this made me feel a lot closer to their body of work. Thank you for this video.
I fell in love w deftones wen I moved to sacto also.
Deftones will go down as one of the GREATEST bands ever!! I absolutely love them, and want to see them live some day soon.
I haven't seen them live myself. So it's a must! You never know when bands like these take breaks.
My favorite band!
Make a Faith No More video!
MIKE PATTON VIDEO PLS
Mr Bungle ;)
Listen to Nirvana early recordings...Hardest and first who popularized hc also best band since Sex Pistols
Digital Bath is my all time favorite. It's one of those songs that makes me stop doing what I'm doing and stay still, close my eyes and just listen and admire it again and again untill the day of my death
Missed to mention "Lovers" is a b-side on the single Hexagram. Amazing song which I wish would have made the album.
Thanks for adding that.

Deftones just needs to release another covers, soundtracks and rarities album and re-record the album Like Linus.
215dagby Like Linus has some great songs tbh
@@215dagby B Sides vol. 2 right? I had come across that playlist years ago trying to find "can't even breath"
Discovered them summer of 2020 and instantly fell in love. First song I heard was Be Quiet and Drive. There is this feeling Deftones radiates unlike any other band, makes you drive in the sunset or just go stargazing on a hot summer night. Somehow their music combines chaos and pain with soothing and calming vibes. Been listening to them ever since and personally believe they have never made a poor record.
Deftones B-Sides
is a great album
⭐
I hear a lot of people saying that. I gotta check it out.
This video was made before Ohms, a great album that feels familiar to their roots in some aspects but was completely new in other aspects, just a wonderful album. It's crazy how the band felt and sounded just as good as they did when they started out. Gold from 1995 to 2020. Every. Single. Album.
Discovered them at 16 …. Life changing
I love how they grow and change just as i have as I've aged.....we've grown up together 🥰🤟
i was born in 2006 but i’ve been listening to them since before i could walk my mom was a single mom in her late 20s who, before me, would constantly mosh and party she loved deftones so it was always on in the background haha so i’ve heard every one of their songs but their first 3 albums were my childhood and are my favorite things to listen to to remind me of my mom. She passed away 4 years ago. she saw them preform around the fur and it was her favorite album. she was a great woman with great music taste
Diamond Eyes was so amazing. Blows me away to this day.
Understanding Coheed and Cambria!
Good suggestion!
Saw them in concert today, literally so good.
Your lucky babe, Minerva is the golden song
Does Chinos voice still sound similar to 97 and earlier?
Don't lie, I love the deftones but they are terrible live about 90 percent of the time. They put out amazing albums where they can manipulate Chino's voice, but live is a fun time as well as very anticlimactic concerning vocals. It's rough. Has been since like 2003. His voice was gone already back then.
@@MayorGoldieWilson825which is odd because they could definitely just slap the effect they use in studio on his mic
One of my favorite bands.
Definitely in the top 10 for me as well :)
God damn, I absolutely love this band. Their music helped me through some tough times in my life. That's when they offically became my favorite band ever. I'm hoping to see them live one day!
They certainly helped me too. And amplified the good moments as well. And yes oddly enough i haven't
been able to see them live yet either. They're on tour now right?
Deftones never cease to give me chills. There's almost an ASMR quality to Chino on some tracks 😆 often contrasted with wild wailing. Love it!
I will forever keep this band in my heart I love them so much
I can't imagine being 14 right now and accidentally finding out about the Deftones and then seeing that they have this huge back catalogue and just chilling in my room losing myself in the sounds. Shit. That has to be fuckin awesome.
It truly is. I’m currently 16 and recently discovered deftones about 2 weeks ago
There is no true understanding Deftones other than our mere mortal interpretation. They really tapped into something ethereal and otherworldly with a lot of their music. After almost being alive 30 years at the witing of this, I still find myself returning to their first 3 albums so much. Been listening to Koi No Yokan a lot as of late and exploring other relatively newer releases.
You can't compare Deftones with anyone.
I just discovered deftones this year and some songs have already been my favorite
Deftones it's my fav band since I had 13 and still until this day , I always listen to their songs and it's nostalgia plus the fact that I feel this it's the best music in the world makes me feel so good.
Thank you for this one. Last summer, seeing The Deftones and Chino connecting with the audience is like a religious experience. Their music has a certain sense that brings in some amazing fans resulting in amazing shows.🙌✌
Only if they are the headliner and not playing before Avenged Sevenfold... Smh
Hahah, yeah i would rather see them doing a show by themselves.
Them and rise against was an amazing show.
I held chinos hand during “knife party”, in Dallas
A girl I think was into me but I was too dense to realise was listening to Deftones. This recommendation on my feed reminded me of her, so here I am, watching this.
Understanding Glassjaw would be great, absolute post-hardcore legends
Damn dude, Deftones is my favorite band. Ive been listening to them since u was 10, im 31 now. I am as nostalgic as ive ever been in my life. I couldnt thank u enough for this little lesson in history. Thanks lie!
No worries Leonardo. I've been listening to a lot of Deftones recently since i started making this video too. I'm going
through a nostalgic trip myself haha. Thanks for taking the time to watch and honor good music!
Frank Delgato is the essential, secret sauce of Deftones.
His underappreciated genius transformed Deftones into a world class band. He compliments his band mates perfectly and draws out creativity from all of them that created that timeless style.
Tempest, Digital Bath and countless others highlight his brilliance.
He took 4 great musicians and transformed them into legends.
Completely agree, Frank is sooooo overlooked! The band wouldn't be the same without him.
You forgot to mention that Scott Weiland was also featured on Rx Queen, it's really ironic that Chi Cheng and Scott Weiland are both dead now. Rest in peace
Word! RIP
Good catch, but I don't think the term irony is used correctly here.
Will Angel-Cadero Rx Queen talks about a relationship with addiction, whether it be drugs or alcohol. I meant ironic in the sense that Chi and Scott both died from addiction.
Anthony Mcintyre how did Chi die from addiction? Addiction to what?
Will Angel-Cadero Alchohol ruined his liver.
You cover all my favorite bands dude, love your work
That's good! It's just mere luck that it alligns so well with your taste.
deftones wide range of sound really sets them apart from other artists, the way their songs can go from heavy to light, rosemary is a good example
I cant finish this video because It just makes me want to go listen to Deftones
The track that became “lovers” is one of my favorite tracks from that self title era. Fucking heavy and I think that album had a lot of potential. It still grew on me over time though and I can appreciate what they made.
Cool. Do you think they'll ever release Eros though?
Deftones excites and arouses, it just feels right, it feels like how it is supposed to feel
I just gotta say this but Deftones is just my favorite band of all time I never get tired of their music and whenever I listen to them I just feel right at home like I belong here or something like that
Same here! That's why i wanted to make this video. MORE people need to listen to their stuff.
Cheers from Norway.
Thank you for this man! I've always wanted a behind the scenes history of Deftones!
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed this. Any recommendations for future artists?
Lie Likes Music Motion City Soundtrack
Saturday Night Wrist was my first and still my favorite to this day. Sensual, sexy and absurdly atmospheric. LOVE IT A LOT
Great vid. I love the Deftones. It's very hard to describe their sound to people who've never heard them and I think you broke it down beautifully. Subbed!
Deftones is an amazing band and I will always cherish them, they help me cope with life and its happenings everyday. I love them so much
As soon as I first heard be quiet and drive...something changed inside of me
Their self titled album is my favorite and it seems to be underrated. It's kind of what In Utero was in contrast to Nevermind(White Pony) by Nirvana, less catchy songs but heavier and darker
Understanding Dinosaur Jr?
Blackout hell yes
That'd be a great one
Hell yeah
Where they from?
Been a fan since Adrenaline and my favorite album is by far Koi No Yokan. The most varied, the most melodic, and the most confident record they've ever made imo.
Alice in Chains next!!
or Layne Staley
Yesss
Yeeees. Now that’s one damn cool band. When I’m down I stick Grind on and it rocks me out 🤘
Deftones have been my favorite band since elementary school. Their divinity in musicianship and authenticity have resonated with me ever since. My first experience of theirs was a music video with sharks and lots of water (you guys know which one: Possessive Season 😉) I then bought an album which I thought had a seashell on the cover (later learning it was an instrument of parenting) and then moved on to the best album ever recorded (arguably by some) Around the Fur. Then, their self titled released and changed my life again. I have been using their music in video tributes to the woman adore, for several years. Because of their creativity and profound sound, I affectionately refer to them as the deft-ones.
Thrive in peace, Chi Cheng.
You are what we call a true and dedicated fan. I can't say that i've been a fan as long as you, although my father
used to play their records when i was in elementary school too. I just didn't understand that stuff when i was younger.
But when i was 17 their music was the soundtrack of my life. Thanks for sharing your story and watching my video.
It means a great deal to me! 😊
Deftones has got to be in my top 3 favorite bands. Hearing all of this new (to me) information about their albums and what was going on is so cool! I already knew about Chi dying, that still hits hard though…such a young guy, with so much left to offer.
