Abe Cunningham is a hell of an underrated drummer. He isn't the flashiest and neither the typical metal drummer, but that's what makes him special. Man got grooves for days and creative beats, he definitely pulls from a lot of other styles of music like jazz and funk giving him a very distinct voice as a metal drummer.
@@maynarddrivesfast804 Preach, sometimes I'm skipping through their songs and I see My Own Summer and I'm like "nah" but if I'm not fast enough and hear that snare hit I'm gone, I let the shit groove
@@maynarddrivesfast804 If you don’t know he now has switched over to a kevlar marching snare drum head. Just a heads up if you want to try and cop his snare sound that would be a big step in doing so.
I was in high school when Nu Metal came on the scene and was always a Korn fan and thought Deftones was an imitation and never gave theyre music a listen...im 40 now and stumbled on the video for Hole In The Earth late last year and I'm kicking myself for all the years I missed out on the amazing songs Deftones were making, now theyre my favorite band to listen to...better late than never I suppose 🤟🖤
It's weird, I've never been one to care about representation but mars volta and Deftones just happennto he my favorite bands too. I didn't even know they were Mexican.
7:32 "this has to be their best song" every time i discover another deftones song i havent heard i say the same damn thing fr anyone with an ear for music can hear how great they are
Much like "Digital Bath," the arrangement makes the cover hit differently. I find it challenging to find accurate adjectives to apply, suffice to say it is a favorite.
The whole WP album is great! 😎🤘 Chino brings such a unique vocal element to any track and the drumming almost feels like the front man on a Deftones song. If you liked this, you will enjoy "Knife Party"
Fixing to comment same thing. Listening to White Pony all day, still have it on repeat since summer of 2000. Still their best, imo anyways. Knife Party my fave song off that album....whole album is a masterpiece. Passenger is also up there. Deftones one of the great metal bands, bands period, ever.
"Maybe this is one of those bands who just keep topping themselves" Nailed it. They've always been a big fav of mine since high school (I'm almost 36 btw) and they have never budged from that spot for me. Also FOR SURE need to check out Chino's (vocalist) other group(s) "Crosses" {personal fav of mine as of late} and "Team Sleep." Crosses just dropped a new album earlier this year.
Digital bath is easily one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. I would love to see your reaction of one of their saddest/darkest toned (no pun intended) songs "Battle-Axe"
This was actually the first song I ever heard by Deftones. My brother made me a mix CD of different songs that he thought I would like. And one late night I couldn’t sleep, so I listen to the CD and found this little gem towards the end. I loved it so much that I included it in an audio drama that I made at the time. Of course, this was not released to the public, so I was able to get away with actually putting that song in there. It was for my own listening pleasure so I included it but it’s such a cool song and I was right smack in the middle of my high school days when I discovered it.
the entire album is an experience... Lay down in bed, with the lights out and the speaker turnt up..... take a few hits off that water bong and you are in for an incredible musical adventure.
Entombed, cherry waves, sextape, xerxes, kimdracula, knife party, Rosemary. Literally just pick one for your next deftones song, they got so many atmospheric bangers that make you feel like you are high or floating.
If you like the rides that Tool songs take you on, "Rosemary" by Deftones is one of my favorites. I don't want to give away the meaning behind the song, though. The prose at play is so evocative that, like Maynard's writing, you can interpret in many ways and be at peace with your own take. It's powerful, dramatic, beautifully composed, and an audio journey. Give it a shot, you won't regret it.
Definitely regarded as one of their best, the next track on this album, Elite, actually won a Grammy for best metal song that year. It’s heavyyy but epic
Well I just came across your channel and have been grazing ever since like a contented sheep, don't love all of the music but happy to explore different stuff with you and the really nice crowd of supporters you have, learning and enjoying. Thanks.
The Deftones are my favorite band. Been listening to them since the beginning. This one is one of my favorites. They have a wide range of songs and worth listening to. Listen to Royal from the Diamond Eyes album. His screams on this song are sick
Keep listening to Deftones brother, from the very beginning back in 95… i was 12 years old and Im still rocking them… every album just gets better and better.. i promise you
This song is a whole-ass vibe. "Bath" is fitting, since it just washes over you. I know there's something else that hits me the same way, but it's too early in the morning for my brain to work. I'll let you know if I think of it, haha.
Deftones have been my favorite band since the 90s, they can't put out a bad album. Their music is on another level, it makes me feel like no other band can...magical
Deftones - You’ve seen the butcher is one of my favorites and this is right up there. Before I knew what the song was about it hit home with me because I had this girl that was a friend I hung out with a lot and I wanted it to be more.
Your consistently doing all my favorites....damn. Shout out to the requesters also.... Tool, AIC , APC , now some Deftones/ Digital bath among my top few from them.....thank u all
Knife Party without a doubt one of the most hair raising anthemic songs in my playlist, Rodleen Getsics visceral screaming, the lyrics, drums, bass, guitar, the whole composition. You will not be disappointed. Cant wait for you to get your ears round that
Hey Polo, see ya got your studio together and you’re back at it. Hey great way to kick it off with some Deftones. Really a unique band. Very mood setting. Great song.
If you like Digital Bath and the atmosphere it creates, I'd say check out Beauty School and Sextape from Diamond Eyes and Rosemary from Koi. I think you'd also like Cherry Waves from Saturday Night Wrist. They are by far my favorite band. I love that you loved this one too. Digital Bath is my favorite White Pony song for sure. One of my favorites of all even.
My favorite song is possibly Prayers/Triangles when I hear that song reminds me of summer time before the world went wrong with my wife driving around.
digital bath and Korea are my favorites. . i used to get stoned and lay in my bed, with all the lights off and just look into the darkness..i did it every night for a long time. I fuckimg loved this album on a level i couldnt explain.
Hell yeah man…this is my jam. I remember getting a bootleg of this whole cd from some little shop in Ocean Coty, MD…a month before it came out. Me and all my boys were so stoked! This whole cd is an absolute masterpiece. Much love my brother. ✌🏽😎🤘🏽
So glad you loved this. When this came out over 20 years ago, it became my go-to song to introduce new listeners. deftones have a wide range, but a very distinct, unique sound. And I found that if any new listener didn't like this, they probably wouldn't like anything else. They go from very soft and sultry to loud and hard all in the flow of this song, but it hits home. As usual, the lyrics are a different side lol, but the overall sound is great and draws you in. Thanks again for all that you do.
I’ve never heard you explain what kind of sound system you have in the ol 4Runner, but as soon as I saw the title of this video, I knew it would make the playlist. This whole album is such a mood.
The good thing about Deftones is that you don't have to pick a favourite song. You can enjoy all their unusual songwriting and talents in all of them :)
An amazing Deftones song to check out is Beauty School (my favorite).. but also, Knife Prty.. Rosemary.. Bored.. Goon Squad.. My Own Summer..7 words.. Mascara.. Change.. Back to School - gotta watch the video for that one.. Root- good workout song.. you've already heard Passenger.. and there are many, many more songs that are awesome by Deftones.. have fun exploring their list, they have a huge collection..
First deftones song I ever heard. I remember where I was standing 20 years ago when I heard it. I was addicted off the bat. Has not lost an ounce of its power on the thousandth listen. Abe Cunningham rivals Danny Carey. Saturday night wrist is the best album ever made.

You would honestly enjoy the singers other band Crosses.
You need the song knife prty in your life!
Please listen to the deftones minerva
I think you'd enjoy MY OWN SUMMER and HEXAGRAM if you enjoy death rattle screaming...Chino's unique

Man got grooves for days and creative beats, he definitely pulls from a lot of other styles of music like jazz and funk giving him a very distinct voice as a metal drummer.
For sure one of the best ‘groove’ drummers I know of.
He arguably has one of the best overall drum kit tones in the business. Especially that crispy snare drum.

“That was my fav part of the song”
*Chino literally moaning*
😭😭😭😭
Gotta love Deftones 😂
I was in high school when Nu Metal came on the scene and was always a Korn fan and thought Deftones was an imitation and never gave theyre music a listen...im 40 now and stumbled on the video for Hole In The Earth late last year and I'm kicking myself for all the years I missed out on the amazing songs Deftones were making, now theyre my favorite band to listen to...better late than never I suppose 🤟🖤
I love it when youtube reactors get around to Deftones lol. They are literally my favorite band.
makes my heart happy
Same. Same.
It's weird, I've never been one to care about representation but mars volta and Deftones just happennto he my favorite bands too. I didn't even know they were Mexican.
Fantastic song, Deftones at its best
7:32 "this has to be their best song" every time i discover another deftones song i havent heard i say the same damn thing fr
anyone with an ear for music can hear how great they are
“Minerva” is such a great song. My personal Deftones favorite, especially with the video.
So is Moana from the same album (closing track). Its so apt as you wouldn't want to put a song on to follow it.
Their cover of Sade's Ordinary Love is an awesome arrangement.
Much like "Digital Bath," the arrangement makes the cover hit differently. I find it challenging to find accurate adjectives to apply, suffice to say it is a favorite.
And I miss named the song. No Ordinary Love.
One of my favorite Deftones songs, not just covers. I never see anyone pick Phantom Bride either.
It's the greatest cover of all time.
ahhh a man of culture i see🫡
This song is the reason for the term "That songs a Vibe!"
I think this is their best song. The first time you hear it it is hard to get out of your head. Cool reaction sir. Thank you.
I love watching people react to Deftones-Chino leaves you speechless.

blvd nights is an amazing son

My favorite Deftones song...such a vibe ❤
Knife Party and Change (in the House of Flies) by Deftones are awesome too. And Passenger featuring Maynard of Tool is outstanding.
This was actually the first song I ever heard by Deftones. My brother made me a mix CD of different songs that he thought I would like. And one late night I couldn’t sleep, so I listen to the CD and found this little gem towards the end. I loved it so much that I included it in an audio drama that I made at the time.

It was for my own listening pleasure so I included it but it’s such a cool song and I was right smack in the middle of my high school days when I discovered it.
Back in the day of mix cd’s and tapes 🙌
I agree. This is their best song in my opinion, with "Passenger" being a close second. The whole White Pony album is fire.
The entire Whtie Pony album is a musical journey.
Be quiet and drive is their masterpiece in my opinion. But I love their whole discography
its kimdracula for me
So happy you’re covering more Deftones, they’re amazing!
“Cherry waves” is my favorite deftones wsong, check it out!
the entire album is an experience... Lay down in bed, with the lights out and the speaker turnt up..... take a few hits off that water bong and you are in for an incredible musical adventure.
This band shaped me. I love them.
Knife Party, Passenger, My Own Summer, Bored, One Weak... the list goes on
Entombed, cherry waves, sextape, xerxes, kimdracula, knife party, Rosemary. Literally just pick one for your next deftones song, they got so many atmospheric bangers that make you feel like you are high or floating.
Brilliant list mate.
You missed Beware man, just such a masterpiece
also beware, mein, riviere, swerve city
hole in the earth? change? shut up and drive? many many more amazing songs from one of the greatest bands ever
If you like the rides that Tool songs take you on, "Rosemary" by Deftones is one of my favorites. I don't want to give away the meaning behind the song, though. The prose at play is so evocative that, like Maynard's writing, you can interpret in many ways and be at peace with your own take. It's powerful, dramatic, beautifully composed, and an audio journey. Give it a shot, you won't regret it.
Rosemary is one of their best for this reason. I agree.
This and "Be Quiet and Drive" are two of my favorites. But they are different from everything deftones creates.
It's hard to label my favorite Deftones song.
I have favorites, which includes everything in these comments.
I grew up with this in the '90s
hell yeah.. be quiet and drive, minerva, and battle axe, mx..
Definitely regarded as one of their best, the next track on this album, Elite, actually won a Grammy for best metal song that year. It’s heavyyy but epic
This track got me into Deftones. That drum track by Abe is fire and I have been a fan ever since !! Great band. Great musicians !
🤯
This song is their absolute masterpiece. It's on a level that is not even fair with their other amazing stuff.
Beauty School, Rosemary, Cherry Waves, Dai the Flu, RX Queen. There are so many amazing songs!
High Praise, Love it!
One of the greatest bands ever.
To me, their very first album „Adrenaline“ is still unbeaten. Been listening to that since 1995.
To me all the albums after Around The Fur are meh
(like) linus was a great album as well - preceded Adrenaline
Hundred percent agree
@@stephenbatman33 White Pony is their masterpiece
@Melky_Man it's just OK for me, I'm a metal head so the fact I enjoy any of their music may be surprising to some
“You’ve Seen The Butcher” is 🔥🔥🔥
This band has a lot of music and all of it is good buddy
Well I just came across your channel and have been grazing ever since like a contented sheep, don't love all of the music but happy to explore different stuff with you and the really nice crowd of supporters you have, learning and enjoying. Thanks.
Amazing live band. Minerva is one of my favorites.
This is from their White Pony album released when I was a senior in high school. I played this whole album multiple times a day for a year
So glad you checked out this one. One of my all-time favorite Deftones songs.
The Deftones are my favorite band. Been listening to them since the beginning. This one is one of my favorites. They have a wide range of songs and worth listening to. Listen to Royal from the Diamond Eyes album. His screams on this song are sick
They have soooooo many great songs, you've barely scratched the surface
Keep listening to Deftones brother, from the very beginning back in 95… i was 12 years old and Im still rocking them… every album just gets better and better.. i promise you
I'm so glad you loved it 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Their music does things to me that... well that are hard to articulate. Thanks!!!
Thank you for suggesting it
@@KBRC81 my pleasure
Dude forreal you are crushing these song choices!!!! This is how ya know you gotta good following, feeding you nothing but gold!!!
Im a huge fan of deftones and pretty much anything Chino Marino does. Some of his songs do make u feel like ur floating. Love his music.
my fave Deftones song
Their drummer is phenomenal

Deftones - You’ve seen the butcher is one of my favorites and this is right up there. Before I knew what the song was about it hit home with me because I had this girl that was a friend I hung out with a lot and I wanted it to be more.
“If I was a rapper I’d rap to this.”
Never thought of it that way but someone absolutely should that. It’d be brutal.
Love this band
The meaning of this song is crazy!!
No such thing as a fav deftones song. So many!! Rosemary another must listen.
I'd love to hear you react to "You've seen the Butcher" Cause the groove is insanely heavy.
Yeah, this one is soooo good.
Love that song or Rocket Skates
Your consistently doing all my favorites....damn. Shout out to the requesters also.... Tool, AIC , APC , now some Deftones/ Digital bath among my top few from them.....thank u all
I dont know if it was the intention, but this song relaxes tf out of me. Just play it, close my eyes, and drift off
Knife Party without a doubt one of the most hair raising anthemic songs in my playlist, Rodleen Getsics visceral screaming, the lyrics, drums, bass, guitar, the whole composition.
You will not be disappointed.
Cant wait for you to get your ears round that
I saw Deftones live for the White Pony tour n that was by far my fav show ever 🤍.
This has been my favorite Deftones song since it came out. Still on my playlist to this day.
Edit: Passenger is second favorite
This is my fave deftones song, cried to it many times.
Hey Polo, see ya got your studio together and you’re back at it. Hey great way to kick it off with some Deftones. Really a unique band. Very mood setting. Great song.
Only the Deftones can be the Deftones. You can’t replicate it. There’s an ethereal quality but it’s all tight. Chino is an amazing singer.
personal favorite from that album is PINK MAGGIT imo it’s their best song
My fave deftones song by my fave reactor?! YAY!
Anyone else hearing Alex Friedmans calmness in Polo’s voice? Very soothing.
Xerces is my fav song. I just drift and float away to that song
Anything Chino Moreno, the singer, does is basically gold. Deftones, Team Sleep, Churches... He's done several cover songs worth checking out.
Thank you for reacting to my Fav band ever. You gave RESPECT. And you'll get it back
Favorite Deftones track: What Happened To You...prepare to be hit in the feels 😢
If you like Digital Bath and the atmosphere it creates, I'd say check out Beauty School and Sextape from Diamond Eyes and Rosemary from Koi. I think you'd also like Cherry Waves from Saturday Night Wrist.
They are by far my favorite band. I love that you loved this one too. Digital Bath is my favorite White Pony song for sure. One of my favorites of all even.
Knife Party
You've Seen the Butcher
Kimdracula
Passenger
Phantom Bride
Ohms
Battle-Axe
My favorite song is possibly Prayers/Triangles when I hear that song reminds me of summer time before the world went wrong with my wife driving around.
digital bath and Korea are my favorites. . i used to get stoned and lay in my bed, with all the lights off and just look into the darkness..i did it every night for a long time. I fuckimg loved this album on a level i couldnt explain.
cherry waves! my latest obsessive listen by these guys. the textures are just absolutely incredible
Great tune great album, was even better when I saw them on this tour playing this
Hell yeah man…this is my jam. I remember getting a bootleg of this whole cd from some little shop in Ocean Coty, MD…a month before it came out. Me and all my boys were so stoked! This whole cd is an absolute masterpiece.
Much love my brother.
✌🏽😎🤘🏽
My favorite Deftones song! Also, like some of the other comments are saying, White Pony is a work of art front to back. Highly recommend that album.
It's one of the greatest songs ever.
My first and favorite Deftones song.. that snare tho!!
The entire record is a classic. Their best work.
I will always tune in to catch a first Deftones experience. There's more.
So glad you loved this. When this came out over 20 years ago, it became my go-to song to introduce new listeners. deftones have a wide range, but a very distinct, unique sound.

One of my favorites from them. So haunting.
when he said" it has to be their best song" I said out loud "Not even!"
More Deftones please!
This is one that I mentioned after doing the first deftones reaction. Now try around the fur, my own summer &/ back to school
I listen to this song over and over when I`m getting ready for a date. Sets the tone in my head.
Its a FOREVER MONSTER song! 💯😎
I love this song and so many others, but Entombed will forever be my favorite Deftones track.
"This has to be their best song."
Why yes, yes it is.
Song is so fucking good ❤
deftones is perfct stoner and post rave or dance club music
Love them
I've got a strong feeling that you'll love "Simple Boy" by Karnivool. It's got a comparable vibe to my mind and it's similarly amazing!
Karnivool... Great recommendation! Simple Boy or Goliath either one lol
All of Karnivool but yes simple boy or goliath , cote, themata
I’m waiting patiently for polo to react to karnivool. Next to tool, they are my all time favorite band. Such a great sound they have.
First deftones song I ever heard. I remember where I was standing 20 years ago when I heard it. I was addicted off the bat. Has not lost an ounce of its power on the thousandth listen. Abe Cunningham rivals Danny Carey.
Saturday night wrist is the best album ever made.
