Chino's melodies and comfort in his dynamic range is so organic and artful. You have a great ear and ability to articulate everything you hear! Thanks Chris!
On the pre-chorus makes me tear up hard, oh God. For me the chorus hits hard with the whole band together, the transition with that drum fill is what gets me there .This song is REALLY special in my heart.
I could literally watch you break down Deftones songs forever. Deftones have been my favorite band since 95 and hearing the songs broken down like this is like listening to them for the first time, which is a feeling I never thought I would get again. For me and every other Deftones fan this is amazing thank you Chris!
"Cherry Waves" one of those most haunting songs ever recorded in modern rock. Chino always described their band's sound as "Mood Rock". "Xerces" was also beautiful.
Why isn't Hole In The Earth underrated? I don't agree with Saturday Night being the worst deftones album to most and not addressing it's only nationally released single first. I don't understand deftones fans and it's gotten so bad I don't understand deftones.
one of my favourite deftones songs! epic and uplifting yet so sincere in its melancholy. people like to describe deftones as having a "dreamy" mood and it applies here, although without the massive electronic layers many of their later songs have but more layers of different instruments. very glad you picked this one. an unexpected surprise!
Deftones is already a band that you hear something new every single time you listen to a song…even after 100 times……to have the friggen actual audio tracks to pick apart and listen to track by track is a friggen PRAYER answered for me…man I wish I could get my hands on those files and just spend a month locked away listening hahaha…. Thanks for the awesome video man, as usual!!!
Yeeaahhhy unbelievable,..thanx chris,..deftones once more,..and cherry waves,.favorite song of my wife,.from a great album,.good job as always,..regards
Cherry Waves is simply unbeliavable. The production is stellar, and watching this beautiful video we can see how much it really is. Thank you Chris. This video is now on my favorite list.
Deftones is one of my favorite bands and cherry waves is one of my favorite songs! Thanks for doing this Going by this band and Chino's other projects, the boy knows how to write and produce great songs!
I think the key thing I hear with Chino’s voice is actually an emphasis on head voice supported extremely well with the diaphragm, he keeps it very breathy but can maintain those notes with the use of diaphragm.
I might have a correction - Abe's drums are dragging(vs Chi's bass line). Whenever I'd cover their songs I could never get the feel or rhythm right, no matter what I did. But when I started slowing the timing down *just* to the point of being out of time with the beat, is when it made sense. I was pretty obsessed with it, and also Step's guitar tone. Light bulb moment. Added note: he said in interviews he hated his performance on this album bc he was self-conscious and reserved, bc of people's opinions on their previous album.
Seriously man, I heard you singing over the track in the background at the beginning of your video, I had chills like I had just came out of a walk-in freezer. I know you don’t really do covers here but boy do I wish I could hear your voice over this entire song
11:29 that was honestly the most hillarious and yet acurrate way to describe Chino's singing lmao. Love these videos man, and this is probably my favorite Deftones records alongside WP
Wow!!! Thanks for explaining the fair use and how you work with it. Super cool to know. Everything about your channel is phenomenal. I’m a drummer. And collector. I do not do any type of sound or production. But you make everything so interesting. And I understand exactly (mostly everything) what points you make.
One of my favorite Deftones songs - Loved your analysis! Would you be able to do a video on Incubus? Specifically the song "Dig"? The vocals in that one have lots of range and broad dynamics that I think you'd be able to tap into really well
This is so sick! SNW has to be one of my favorite albums ever. Top 3 favorite when it comes to Deftones. A truly unique album with a dark history which almost led to the band breaking up. Dark times leading up to it. And everyone emailing their parts instead of working together like they always did, in their studio (The Spot? I forget the name). Then there's the Bob Ezrin demos which are so sick! Finger of Death could've been an insane song! Stef's guitar parts are so heavy! Omfg I love it!!!!!! Download them! To anyone who claims to be a hardcore fan and hasn't listened to them, please do. It includes multiple versions of songs that made it and ones that didn't.
deftones are always great! really emotional and i was always curious what makes it sound so intimate to me. thanks chris!! waiting for more great stuff 🤍
Thank you very much for this type of video isolating chino's voice and screams !! i WISH you could do more of this videos about deftones but with their heaviest songs ( like ROYAL, BLOODY CAPE, RAPTURE, or whatever song of their first album ADRENALINE). Im a huge fan of your content please do this more with deftones
Love these vids, your mix analysises and especially the analysis of Chino's voice and vocal processing is soo good! Would love to see you keep recreating the vocal processing of the vocals!
I’ve been obsessed with them lately and it’s funny but i love how you’re covering them lately. This is one of my favorite songs ever and top of them. The whole Record its on. One of the best basslines ever
Hey Chris - Crazy to be listening to this. I engineered that record with Chino and Shaun. Watching your videos now to learn to sing. I'd love to connect.
A lot of the subtle nuances mentioned, such as the band limiting in the middle was actually Chino just being Chino and backing in/out or moving his hands around his voice and the microphone. As if he knew by placement how the final result would sound. The delay heard on his voice as well was an actual Echoplex, tape and all. This was the most fun album I've ever worked on.
Thank you Chris! You have to get your hands on System of a down multitracks💪 Their complex harmonies are so hard to sing because they blend so perfectly in the studio mix🤔
This is their most layered album for sure. I also like the writing, which is very atmospheric but the heavy stuff is very mathy and hard hitting with hints of post hardcore. Unfortunetly they went to a more straight forward approach in the next albums, and gotta say the last ones (Gore and Ohms) really fall short compared to stuff from SNW and before.
I agree with this 100%. Love ALL their albums but this was def something more unique. After Diamond Eyes its gotten a bit too straight forward. still love em
Chino is basically singing while feeling all the feelings that he transmitted to us. Because I know there’s a meaning and metaphor but for most people is a very emotional song.
since you uploaded the bad deep dive i have watched as many of your videos as possible in every second of me time ive had - your passion and knowledge and articulation is so engaging and enjoyable thank you for giving us this content! hope you'll do something from MJs dangerous album at some point, much love x
Great video i love the Chino break downs so much. If I may make a song suggestion check out his side project +++(crosses) song "Bitches Brew" it has some of his best range of vocal techniques imo. Would love to hear you break it down. Cheers!
dude his voice is so magical.
Chino's melodies and comfort in his dynamic range is so organic and artful. You have a great ear and ability to articulate everything you hear! Thanks Chris!
Chinos in a class of his own
I've been singing along in the car to a lot of Deftones. The dynamics between screams and the breathy ethereal parts are amazing
I literally got the chills and teared up the second the chorus vocals hit. One of the most unique singing voices ever.
On the pre-chorus makes me tear up hard, oh God. For me the chorus hits hard with the whole band together, the transition with that drum fill is what gets me there .This song is REALLY special in my heart.
That bass line though.
*After hearing isolated vocals*
Those vocals though.
You are truly spoiling us with these multi tracks. Thank you so much Chris.
My pleasure!
Lots of good insights too! Thanks from me, as well. 🙏

such an underrated deftones song, glad you picked this one
Underrated..?! Look at the Spotify..
One of my absolute favorites of theirs
It's not very underrated, it was mentioned on the album's hype sticker and is one of their top 10 most streamed songs.

Not enough love whatsoever!

Chi Cheng was a true genius. Can't even fathom how he would think this stuff up and it just works!

Totally undervalued album. That one grew on me with more listens when I first heard it a decade ago.
For me this is the last album,.where i can feel the kind of Deftones spirit which u can feel in white pony,..
It’s an unreal album . Just unreal. Watch the sunset while listening to XERCES
it’s a spiritual experience
@@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_ well… that’s because it’s the last album with Chi 🥹
@@kaydgaming I mean honestly every album I dig equally in their own way but yeah rip chi fosho :/
I liked it at first, but the more I listened... The crazier .. 😂
Yeeaahhhy unbelievable,..thanx chris,..deftones once more,..and cherry waves,.favorite song of my wife,.from a great album,.good job as always,..regards
de loused in the crematorium.... One of my favourite albums of all time!
@@joshuabush2569 i guess u mean comatorium,.not crematorium,...but ur right,.it's a masterpiece as well,..
@@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_ I do! Haha.. not sure how that happened it must have got autocorrected. Yes one of the greatest albums of all time!
My personal favorite off of SNW is Kimdracula, a multi-track of that would be killer
Yes please do this one
One of their best, most underrated tracks. A deep cut indeed!
It's like a fever dream, but a good one.
I just Love this Band. For 30 years they just are Amazing...
Cherry Waves is simply unbeliavable. The production is stellar, and watching this beautiful video we can see how much it really is. Thank you Chris. This video is now on my favorite list.

You deserve over a million subscribers. You’re such a talented individual when it comes to music.
The amount of saturation is amazing! I can't wait to experiment more on my next mixes.
Thanks for this man. I love these, so great for understanding production. The Deftones’ soundscapes and mixes are like none other 👌🏻 those DRUMS!
Right??!!

Where is that interview?
And yeah, I despise meeting Deftones "fans" as most of them only care about White Pony.
Self titled is a fucken masterpiece I don’t care what anyone else says lol
@@MiguelRamirez-cr7gh It's definitely one of my favorites.
And at this point I'm pretty sure you're just the FBI agent assigned to my profile. 😂
@@CFChristian I swear I see you and a couple other dudes on the same videos all the time lol but I’m a couple of months behind you guys it seems

I might just have to do some Deftones covers :)
@@chrisliepe Would kill to hear you cover some Deftones man. Loved this dissection and exploration of Cherry Waves, it’s such a complex song.
@@chrisliepe please!
YEAAAA LESSGOO CHRISS! Much love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
This came up on recommended videos. I have a clock with the sheet music of Cherry Waves glossed onto it. Easily my favorite decoration in the house. 😊
11:29 that was honestly the most hillarious and yet acurrate way to describe Chino's singing lmao.
Love these videos man, and this is probably my favorite Deftones records alongside WP
Very Bono sounding, lots of inspiration from this breakdown

Your channel definitely deserves more views. It has helped me and still helping me a lot on vocals and production.

OHMS is one of their best most up to date album, your probably forgetting they won a Grammy last year.

Ok, now I know what my playlist for work tonight will be! Deftones..
I'm literally in love with this song
I genuinely think this song is one of the greatest experimental rock/metal songs of all time.
Me too!
One of my top 5 favorite Deftones songs
This is amazing.
As a fan I naturally bought this album when it came out but only recently really discovered it’s greatness!

Hehe...You're very welcome!
I love how the Deftones are so themselves... :')
This is awesome!

BUT this is so G R E A T!
i can hear chino got some huge bjork influence in his melodies and singing style.
Well then, just found my new favourite channel
Yay :)
thank you for this!
You're so welcome!
Cool, one of my favourites :)
More Deftones, woho! Loooove that track
Deftones are so bad ass! Chino is an amazing vocalist!
Yeah I really love this song.
Chino Moreno >>>>>
Such an amazing bad. Love the Deftones.
Find someone who is as excited about you as Chris is excited about deftones ❤
So sick to hear these as well as all the other multitracks you’re getting!
Top Deftones song. If you like Cherry Waves, you’d love the vocals for 976-EVIL.
DE 🔥🔥
I am crying
Greatest song ever created imo
Hell yes Deftones !!
i would love to hear a breakdown of bloody cape!
