Munky is a super nice dude. Met him at Nordstroms and noticed him shopping by himself. Went up and introduced myself a huge Korn fan and he offered me free tickets to the Cincinnati show the following day. Because of his kindness, I got to go backstage and meet the entire band and Corey Taylor and the rest of Stone Sour. I'll never forget it!
Chino said he doesn't want Deftones to be strictly associated with the NuMetal thing, he never said he doesn't love Korn or the band members. Stop with this shit. And btw, both bands are legendary.
except for korn. korn is not legendary.If you're a grown man that will still defend korn, what the fuck are you doing with your life?, good chance most people make fun of you behind your back I know I do.
Munky handled that really well. He's either a legitimately nice dude, or completely saw through the dramatic shit they were trying to stir up. Either way, Loudwire = TMZ for metal kids.
Agreed. Munky gave an amazing response. Deftones have been my favorite band since 2000. I loved nu-metal but totally get them not wanting to be associated with it. I also liked the early korn albums but I don't think Chino or anyone else meant any disrespect.
A Random soul from Chicago dude I was thinking the same exact thing when I seen the TH-cam video picture I thought it was Cornell but when I read the description it was Munky interview lol!!
Deftones has evolved so many times. They have changed in so many ways and in my opinion for the better. It's almost like the same journey from being a teenager and then becoming a man. I still have love for Korn but I wish they could find the keys to evolve as well
can't wait for corey taylor reacting to chester bennington reacting to corey taylor reacting to dave mustaine from megadeth reacting to teens reacting to linkin park reacting to munky
All these comments about Deftones not bein' "heavy as they used to be". Well I've been listening to Deftones since the best part of most of y'all was runnin' down your momma's leg. And they've only gotten better with time. The problem with you younger "metal" fans is you don't realize "heavy" isn't a sound, it's an attitude and feelin'. Deftones are right up there with the Metallica's and the Pantera's etc etc as 1 of the greatest "heavy" bands of all time. And Chino is an all time frontman. Learn yourself something bout real "heavy" music and be somebody.
Nope. Heavy is most definitely a sound and feel. But mostly sound. It's been that way for years. In all due respect, that doesn't change because you feel strongly about your words.
People just have such a misconception of this, chino has said time again he loves Korn and all the memories, but they literally have tried so hard to NOT fit the mold that korn made ‘enter white pony’, would you be in a hurry to tour with a band you’ve tried so hard to avoid the genre they created? Props to both groups for the amazing and innovative things they’ve done that’s all that should matter ❤️❤️
That's probably the best answer to a question I've ever heard. Maybe in the future, at least one show would be great. In fact make it one, it will be more special.
Clickbait vid and sensationalist question: Chino and Deftones have had that policy for ages because they didn't want to be associated with nu metal. Korn really leaned into the nu metal thing, Deftones didn't. There's no enmity between them.
I dont think chino meant it in a bad way, he's said before that lots of people try to compare them to korn and he HATES it because he doesnt want to be lumped in with nu metal. People over react
i love korns new stuff even though its not whole lot different than their old style on the other hand deftones has changed a lot musically and evolved, but their music doesnt appeal to me as much now and i find it boring specially their latest albums.so correct, not everytime changing sound means youre getting better
I Want them to tour so bad!!! I love Korn An Corey Last time it was Slipknot now Stone Sour.. BUT Korn + Deftones = Magic "Dream Show" for many of us who came up with them. Deftones shoulda been on Original Family Values IMO
Man I'm a fan of both and I've seen both bands LIVE and one is clearly better than the other when it comes to live performances...I'll let you guess who that is
Na chino loves korn, he just didnt want to be labelled NU-New, it was like they were another korn and chino didnt want that, he admitted , well kind of , that not doing the mtv spring break ruined them and made Limpbizkit, just old patton dont even wanna claim the fame to nu-metal but b4 korn it was FNM and there diversity, but anyway the new Stone sour album is so Nickle back lite!!
If deftness tours its korn and is put into that box it is because Korn did it first. If Deftones were good enough to do otherwise it would not be a issue..Lol. Slipknot for example, not called Korn Jr..OBVIOUSLY associated with nu metal, cmon man!
I love both deftones and korn. But deftones will forever be in my heart. That band yo. They get to you lol. It's like they can reach into your deepest dreams, secrets or nightmares. Korn is good too but for my anger lol
I’m sorry but as I’ve aged I’ve stopped listen to Korn. Every korn song sounds the same. If you’ve heard one song you’ve heard them all however deftones has evolved as I have and the songs get better and have more meaning with time. I use to be a die hard korn fan but I probably haven’t listened to them for about 5 or 6 years but Deftones is always in my playlist…always
This is based on some comments replies I saw. Both of the bands were legendary in the 90s and 2000s. Just because KoRn aren’t as famous as Metallica, AC/DC, and other famous bands, doesn’t mean they aren’t still legendary. Everybody has their own opinions, and if you don’t like KoRn, I respect your opinion. But to comment about how they “aren’t legendary” and are a “talentless band” is so childish it’s funny. If you think that KoRn is a talentless band then let me see you make a band with iconic and emotional songs, that hit the billboard charts. Also, if people make fun of you behind your back about being a fan of KoRn, who cares? Some people just have some things wrong with them that they feel the need to humiliate other people. But what I am trying to say is, it doesn’t matter what kind of music you like. Everybody can still be happy with their own music. Thank you to whoever reads this, and I hope you have a nice week.
This is funny I saw Munky at a deftones show in Iowa when diamond eyes released it was insane my brother got to stand next to him in VIP because we threw him up there so he didn’t get squashed haha
Moreno saying that sure is Ironic, as it is the Deftones who've forever been a one-trick pony band. All the while The Biggest Nu-Metal bands, Slipknot, Korn, Linkin Park, were and remain way more popular and write much more interesting songs.
Munky is a super nice dude. Met him at Nordstroms and noticed him shopping by himself. Went up and introduced myself a huge Korn fan and he offered me free tickets to the Cincinnati show the following day.

How awesome is that! That's fucking dope man. I'm jealous.
Lucky boy !
Amazing story, thanks for sharing it!
That take some balls man! I probably wouldn’t have the courage to do that
Lucky
Chino said he doesn't want Deftones to be strictly associated with the NuMetal thing, he never said he doesn't love Korn or the band members. Stop with this shit.
And btw, both bands are legendary.
except for korn. korn is not legendary.If you're a grown man that will still defend korn, what the fuck are you doing with your life?, good chance most people make fun of you behind your back I know I do.
Wow, you're really stupid. Congrats.
Yeah, a Korn and Deftones tour would have made sense in like 2005 haha. Their sounds are too different now.
Nah, Skate Boards is right on the money. Any grown man who still listens to Korn must not have an ounce of self respect.
It still would have made sense in the early 2000s when both bands were making 7 string chuggy numetal haha
Wasn't expecting that answer. He was so sweet
Munky handled that really well. He's either a legitimately nice dude, or completely saw through the dramatic shit they were trying to stir up. Either way, Loudwire = TMZ for metal kids.

Chino Moreno is Still Dope Asf
Dåmn fucking right.
Ongggg
The best
That's great he didn't take it personal and it was a very humble response.
He's one of the chillest guys. Korn as a whole is so chill, down-to-earth, it's incredible.
I feel like Munky would be such a cool guy to hang out with :)
I'm not saying anything all I'm saying saying he looks like Chris Cornell
A Random soul from Chicago with longer hair
A Random soul from Chicago Wow=! I was just thinking that.
A Random soul from Chicago LMAO OMG I was thinking the same thing before I read your comment. He even has a little Kirk Hammet thing going on too
was thinking the same thing haha
A Random soul from Chicago dude I was thinking the same exact thing when I seen the TH-cam video picture I thought it was Cornell but when I read the description it was Munky interview lol!!
It's not that Chino hates Korn, Deftones just Doesn't want to be associated with Nu Metal.
Indeed who would want to be associated with bands like limp bizkit korn and papa roach .
Alien Antfarm is great. Movies is just plain good songwriting.
DefThrone fell in love with that song my freshman year of highschool and it's still on my playlist
Deftones has evolved so many times. They have changed in so many ways and in my opinion for the better. It's almost like the same journey from being a teenager and then becoming a man. I still have love for Korn but I wish they could find the keys to evolve as well
Doesn't want to be associated with the genre/fans that made his band what it is. Got it
can't wait for corey taylor reacting to chester bennington reacting to corey taylor reacting to dave mustaine from megadeth reacting to teens reacting to linkin park reacting to munky
Severus Rose stop
don't forget the elderly.
LOL !!!!!
What I want to know is what Kerry King thinks of Corey Taylor reacting.
I almost feel like this is the comment section on ultimate-guitar.com!
94 korn self titled debut. heavy as fuck to this day. changed me. tones adrenaline....holds up to this day....let it be.
Wow, the heavy metal media trying to stir some stir between artists... never seen that one before.
Munky is such a class act!
yoooo what the hell, it's grey daze!
He kept it so classy. Good for you man.
All these comments about Deftones not bein' "heavy as they used to be". Well I've been listening to Deftones since the best part of most of y'all was runnin' down your momma's leg.

Cmnd/ctrl and Doomed user hit hard

it was awesome to grow up with these bands when they were in their prime. man, mid 90s, in middle school, and high school. i loved these guys
I remember when I was a teenager, I used imitate munky. He was the man and he still is!!. Deftones and Korn my two number 1 bands equally
Way not to give him some context on why chino said that.
And now we’re having Sick New World with both of them. Munky was right by saying it’ll eventually happen
Munky is a gentleman
aww he’s such a nice guy!! he handled it so carefully, mad love ❤️
Munky is really one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
Munky is a class act.
They toured together in 2006. It'll happen again.
I love Deftones and i love Korn!!!✊
absolute class from Munk!
2 of my favorite bands
People just have such a misconception of this, chino has said time again he loves Korn and all the memories, but they literally have tried so hard to NOT fit the mold that korn made ‘enter white pony’, would you be in a hurry to tour with a band you’ve tried so hard to avoid the genre they created?

Saw Munky and his family at Disneyland, he gave me the chin “Wussup” nod 😆
Munky looks goooood....
Munky is so cool and humble that I already knew his answer before he was asked..!
but what corey taylor thinks about?
Enrico Morelli How do you still think that this is funny???????!!??!!!!!?!!!?
Because this is funny! hahaha
I thought it was pretty funny haha
Still funny 😂😂
+Isak Gamling Corey Taylor wouldn't like your negative attitude
What a great response!! Couldn't have been more civil and kind.
Family Values 20th anniversary 2018 Korn and Deftones \m/
COREY has to react to things, not MUNKY.. get your memes straight Loudwire!!
That's probably the best answer to a question I've ever heard. Maybe in the future, at least one show would be great. In fact make it one, it will be more special.
Such a likeable guy
Munky is one of the nicest dudes I have ever met. Still such a cool guy. I hope to work with him one day.
It's been 20 years since nu-metal was even a thing and Chino is still afraid of being associated with it lol
Classy af. Well done Sir.
Staying humble 💯
Korn Deftones
Family Values 2006
Hyundai Pavilion
Dope ass show.. Can't wait to see them both together someday. AGAIN..
Munky always has a positive thought on everything..i am kinda surprised with his reaction related to the issue.
Munky, head and Stephen are some of the chillest dudes ever lol. Crazy how they bring the fuckin noise
Deftones and KoЯn are my favorites.
And also Dimmu Borgir 😊
Such a classy response. Much love!!
Deftones and Korn use to play gigs together when they were starting out. They are all friends. For anyone to think other wise is just ignorant.
Clickbait vid and sensationalist question: Chino and Deftones have had that policy for ages because they didn't want to be associated with nu metal. Korn really leaned into the nu metal thing, Deftones didn't. There's no enmity between them.
I believe Korn and Deftones have already tour together. It happened at Family Values Tour
I dont think chino meant it in a bad way, he's said before that lots of people try to compare them to korn and he HATES it because he doesnt want to be lumped in with nu metal. People over react
Munky knows what’s up, Deftones are fucking killer
hello deftones my old friend y u no wanna tour again
Awesome answer!!
i love korns new stuff even though its not whole lot different than their old style on the other hand deftones has changed a lot musically and evolved, but their music doesnt appeal to me as much now and i find it boring specially their latest albums.so correct, not everytime changing sound means youre getting better
both bands are great no beef all love and they toured already the o7 family values tour was dopec
They did tour together many times at Family Values. Corey Taylor was there too ;)
Korn and deftones toured together on family values 2006....? It was a killer show!
Sick New World #1 happened. It was such a good show. System, KoRn, Deftones, Incubus. That enough was worth the 8 hour drive for us. 🤘🏻
I saw Korn and Deftones at family values tour in 06 Hyundai Pavilion San Bernardino
Man let them live. As great as that would be They both have evolved into different bands. Both still rocking
I Want them to tour so bad!!! I love Korn An Corey Last time it was Slipknot now Stone Sour.. BUT Korn + Deftones = Magic "Dream Show" for many of us who came up with them. Deftones shoulda been on Original Family Values IMO
Man I'm a fan of both and I've seen both bands LIVE and one is clearly better than the other when it comes to live performances...I'll let you guess who that is
I mean, come on! Who doesn't like Deftones? Maybe even Corey Taylor does!
José Oliveira
I don't.
José Oliveira Corey Taylor does like them. They played at the first Knotfest too :)
Corey Talore hates everything XD
Taylor*
He hates a lot of things but Deftones aren’t one of them
Na chino loves korn, he just didnt want to be labelled NU-New, it was like they were another korn and chino didnt want that, he admitted , well kind of , that not doing the mtv spring break ruined them and made Limpbizkit, just old patton dont even wanna claim the fame to nu-metal but b4 korn it was FNM and there diversity, but anyway the new Stone sour album is so Nickle back lite!!
Love ya Toni!
I always thought these guys were friends but come to think of it I've never seen them together
No hard feelings behind it so no reason to get emotional, handled it like grown men
I need this to be in Houston for sure
Dude I’ve seen KORN and deft ones countless times I honestly don’t know why they would be beefing but it’s 2022 anything’s possible.
Has there been a Korn and Deftones show?
That's would be insane ..
My 2 fav bands
Saw them both perform at sick nu world
True class......
I grew up on Korn in 1999 & the DEFTONES in 2000. Both bands are LEGENDS of the SCREAM & the guitar!!!
Jamal Sampson just 'Deftones' no 'the' before it... Just throwing it out there lol.
Michael Buck; Ok! My bad. Total brain fart!!
Jamal Sampson Fart out of your brain do ya
Jamal Sampson ummm.....korn and deftones in like 97 🤣 8th grade style....then limp bizkit put out 3 dolla bill
"Matthew Rare-din; Hey man, that's so AWESOME!!!"
Would be a sick tour.
That would be an amazing tour.
The song that comes on at the end of the video, anyone know the title? I've heard it before but can't think of the name
Eric Wehrman Same
btw Munky is the new Guitar Player to the Nameless Ghoul of the band Ghost. Also another Guitarist from a Band Call Sisters of Mercy.

Good answer, Munky.

Deja el chisme loudwire!!!!

I enjoyed Nu Metal. Great songs & bands during those times.
Munky your a class act bro much respect 👍
Several Corey Taylor-related comments below
Lmfao...everything is a reaction of another reaction of another reaction of another reaction of another reaction.
Jerry you are a hard haaarrd woman to live with.
