This one’s a top 5 Deftones song ever for me. The main riff contrasting with the slow sludgy sounds, the brutally heavy drumming, Chino’s subdued vocals that sound like he’s dying, the “go get your knife” part, and the breakdown… oh boy, the screams on that breakdown are genuinely bone-chilling. Perfect song, also one of the Deftones songs that helps me destress. Cheers!
And yet somehow still feels like nothing more than a lead-in to the next song, 'Korea', which is arguably an even better song - although comparisons are ridiculous, but still - that's a hell of a song, too. I wasn't able to even hear this song w/o pulling that one up next...which makes me pity people that aren't old enough to understand the value of playing full albums, and not just listening to singles.
I'll never forget. The album had just come out and I was in a band I loved and we would hang out all the time. I had my discman and on a summer night we just lay out on the front lawn (teens) and I was jamming to it in the dark while they talked. Such good times.
I'm 27 now and Deftones has been with me through thick and thin. When My parents got a divorce back when I was 10 andthis is the first song I've ever heard from them and I thought this was the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard since then. I remeber when I first saw their band name on a sticker and asking my mom who they were. She replied, " They are the greatest band to come out of the 90's and still be stronger and better then ever." And it was all history after that. I love my deftones, I just hope I get to see them live here soon!! R.I.P Chi
so does beethoven... i don't understand this "holding up" nonsense... if it was good, it is good.... now is different music than before... it can also be good or bad and if it is good, listening to it in 30 years will still be good
I was just thinking about how we possibly grew up in the last era of incredible musicianship - at least for now. "No wonder nothing is as good as what we've known" if this is true. There have been people I've seen talk about downloading hurting music, and I can't help but believe it literally, and the economy and travel restriction since 11.sept.01 have literally changed the culture all this great art came up, out of.
@@selimustundag26 it'll be 10 years in April. A decade without Chi, he is forever missed. Can't discount Sergio for stepping in, he def showed tf up and did right by Chi. Also bummer to see him no longer a part of the project.
@@nine-toedsloth7168what riff is original in music anymore? There are only so many notes nobody owns a chord. It just can’t be a direct copy but if you want to play a g minor and a b minor or whatever or a minor e minor how many hundreds of people haven’t played the same even in the 60’s and 70’s alot of chord progressions are the same in all music and music today people rhyme the same combinations of words nothing is original but solos arrangement and the way it’s performed.
It’s so easy to forget how simple a lot of the deftones catalog is musically. They’re so good at creating a vibe and an atmosphere that you don’t even think about it
Stephen is probably one of the most underrated guitarists. His riffs are freaking amazing! People forget that riffs are what make songs most of the time. I have seen so many amazing musicians make horrible riffs. It is not as easy as it looks. It involves a deep level of creativity.
I got to meet steph at some show in San Bernadino California just after White Pony came out. My brother and friend spotted him walking around with some of his friends. I got to meet him and tell him that I thought the White Pony album was amazing and I literally told him a bunch of things I liked about the album haha it was great because he was actually freaking listening to me and I got to shake his hand as well. He was super humble and thankful 👍✅💯 they say never meet your heroes but i guess thats not always true 🎸🎵🎶🎵
I remember the first time listening to White Pony, I was 15. Teenager had just crushed my damn soul, then hearing the breakdown in Knife Party with Rodleen sent shivers down my whole body. I listened to the entirety of White Pony just two days ago. Still get chills
@@AsAugustSleeps true, the atmosphere the create is enigmatic, mysterious with underlining sexual tension. at times haunting, but has a lot of bliss and euphoria with it
I remember lining up for the record to release, someone was playing Deftones, everyone was singing along and was so excited. What an incredible time, thanks. ❤

That vocal sperging section? For nearly two decades, chills every time. Someone thank that chick. Her vocal chords likely never recovered from that murder session.
Loved this so much. One of my favorite songs. The last chord I dubbed the "Deftones" chord. You hear that and instantly know it is them. Beautifully played
God bless you Steph, your riffs can be so simple yet so powerful at the same time. There's so much emotion that radiates out of the Deftones, that's what will immortalize you guys through out music history, how you make people feel when they listen to your music.
The harmonic overtones and unsettling undertones on these simple riffs are just so spellbinding. God, that breakdown is almost like the elevated horror remix of the Everlong intro riff. Stephen's ability to create pure Vibe with minimal effort is completely unmatched in my opinion. What a track. A classic FOREVER.
My favorite track by the boys. After seeing this play through, I really feel like Abe and Chi are what really sent this song over the top for me. Superb rhythm section driving the thing.
My knife it's sharp and chrome Come see inside my bones All of the fiends are on the block I'm the new king I take the queen See here we are all anemic In here anemic and sweet, so Go get your knife, go get your knife And come in So go get your knife, go get your knife And lay down Go get your knife, go get your knife Now kiss me Ooh, I can float here forever In this room we can't touch the floor in here We're all anemic In here anemic and sweet so Go get your knife, go get your knife And come in Go get your knife, go get your knife And lay down Go get your knife, go get your knife And kiss me I could float here forever You are ever sweet Oh, I could float here forever Oh, anemic and sweet, so Go get your knife, go get your knife And come in Go get your knife, go get your knife And lay down Go get your knife, go get your knife Can't feel a thing Go get your knife, go get your knife And kiss me
Always brings tear to my eyes when the vocals and guitar blends man fuck such talent these guys have it’s incredible they are truly a master class musicians
White Pony had one of the best mixes and production of any metal album. It was beyond it's time when it came out.
great point. super clean and volume is smooth. i make music and know how hard it is to get a good mix
It's still is! You can hear real drumming, not sampled BS. Hear real emotion, liveliness of things.
The amount of work on the drums only! I think they've used a different snare for every song
Still stands up today it's so mint
White pony and Diamond eyes are never going out of style ever, your correct on that shit bud.

Screams remind me of Pink Floyd - the great gig in the sky.

dude you just described the whole thing literally 😆💯🔥
This song is an example of how to steal a riff correctly
@@nine-toedsloth7168 from who?
Wish I could experience this song all over again for the first time

I am doing just that bro... it was beautiful. I am now obssesed with this after listening to White Pony last week for the first time
Steph is single-handedly going to take this channel to 1 mill subs
he should since his ass wont tour, needs to make himself worth a fuck somewhere
Both his hands.
@@ThomWastes Came here to say this!
Fr lol
It saddens me that they don't already have at least a mil, they deserve way more

This song pretty much embodies every element that makes Deftones one of the most exciting bands ever. Masterpiece.
The guitar tone on this is so sweet... Simply amazing how it can be both so crushing and gentle.
It’s called “dynamics.”
@@JackPeloquin it’s called smartass
Abe is such a great drummer. The way his snare's sound nearly harmonizes with the major riffs adds so much to this song.
Abe is the GOAT
You think his stuff is simple to play, then you try to play it and realise that he has a crazy unique feel that is very very hard to replicate.
@@TC-lk2ev this so truee!! wtf
@@jamesreidngbicol Man trying to play digital bath was very humbling.
This track still holds up better than most songs today
Good music doesn't need to be compared to today. Its stands on its own merit.

@@notimportant3686 exactly I hate when people say that shit lol
This entire album is flawless
There's something in this song that makes you feel like rain it's the best thing earth has to you, so many feelings man, so many feelings..
White Pony may very well be my all-time favorite album. Beginning to end. I fell asleep to it so many times as a 16 year old.
My favorite Deftones song. So amazing!
Love this song
Likewise!! 22 years & never bored
Diamond eyes and genesis are just above for me
Some of Steph's most atmospheric playing. The whole band comes together so organically on this one.
Heck yeah!! I just listened white pony and around the fur at work last night. Rip chi 😢 the bass in this song is just top notch
chi died ???
@@selimustundag26 yeah a long time ago. It sucks, but I bet he’s happy that the band’s still going
@@selimustundag26 it'll be 10 years in April. A decade without Chi, he is forever missed. Can't discount Sergio for stepping in, he def showed tf up and did right by Chi. Also bummer to see him no longer a part of the project.
Smoked a blunt and rode all night to this song many nights in my youth. ❤
My favorite song from the white pony album!!!! 😍🤘
That riff is so iconic and Chi’s bass line is so legendary!
And it's not even an original riff. Just put a great spin on it.

This is my absolute favorite Deftones song ever, and I’ve been waiting since 2001 to learn how it’s played! I love Stephen for doing these!
Rodleen Getsic, just extraordinary on this song. What a performance.
She's not human!
man what a legendary Band, cant believe ive been listening them for 22 years. time flies.
It’s so easy to forget how simple a lot of the deftones catalog is musically. They’re so good at creating a vibe and an atmosphere that you don’t even think about it
I love you so much deftones my mom has loved you forever ever since she was a 11 and she died but I carry my love for her

@@actionjacksondan you don't think so?
@@actionjacksondan but like I didn't just say he was underrated I gave an example why.
One of the best songs ever 🤘, gotta love Deftones
The most influential riff writer of my time. Deftones for fuckin' ever man
And this riff is stolen! Steph did it with style though
@@nine-toedsloth7168 stolen?
@@inalingthedead Perhaps borrowed is a better word. Check out "Little Dipper" by Hum.

Quintessential Deftones. First song I'd give to someone to introduce them to Deftones for sure.
Those screams give me chills every time. 🤘

What a gorgeous sounding record. The mood of the album for me is very kind of David Lynchy, cant expain why
I never thought about it but Deftones are basically the David Lynch of the music scene. Weird, experimental, heavy, violent, and beautiful.
@@AsAugustSleeps true, the atmosphere the create is enigmatic, mysterious with underlining sexual tension. at times haunting, but has a lot of bliss and euphoria with it
David, the producer of movies?
i couldnt disagree more
One of the best Deftones songs of all time....and that's saying something!! 🤘
🎶I COULD FLOAT HERE FOREVER…”
I remember lining up for the record to release, someone was playing Deftones, everyone was singing along and was so excited. What an incredible time, thanks. ❤
This song is so good I can’t even find the words to explain what I feel when I listen to this song… Deftones forever🤘
This song...oh, this song.
WHat a treat....so secluded...so cozy. I feel like he's here in my room playing just for me. LEGENDS!
I love all of these playthroughs that Stephen has been doing, really cool thing to do with this channel.
After 22 years, still one of my favourite 🤍
so simple yet so beautiful
Best song in life, thank you steph for all of this years of beautiful music
It's a timeless combo, steftones magical fingures and chino's vocals, the sound track to my life, classic and cherished.
A quintessential Deftones song. This defined a lot of songs to come. 🥀 💀 🥀
This is the song that made me fell in love with Deftones !
Dual 3/4 stacks in the background look so sick, one of my favorite ‘Tones tracks
Saturday Night Wrists was my first CD I ever owned. Thanks for over entertaining me for nearly 20 years.

Totally my favorite Deftones song!!!
Best album, one of the best songs... ever made obviously.
That vocal sperging section?
For nearly two decades, chills every time.
Someone thank that chick. Her vocal chords likely never recovered from that murder session.
You can hear chi's bass live forever in this track.
This song always makes the hair stand up on my neck. Incredible!
I just now realized the band Funeral for a Friend stole this riff from them in the song Juneau but oh well I still like both songs and bands!
Chi’s bass and Abe’s drumming stands out big time in this.
The beginning is so good and when she screams it’s just so 😩😩😩
A lot of us we're waiting for this one. Fantastic Song.
This is my favourite song. Ever. Hands down. Nice to see I have been playing it right all these years
🤘😎👍
*Epic*
One of my most favorite deftones songs 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Listen to this song everyday after work
This song is legendary
Loved this so much. One of my favorite songs. The last chord I dubbed the "Deftones" chord. You hear that and instantly know it is them. Beautifully played
Was inspired by your guitars back then and still am ❤️🔥🔥
The perfect song inspired by a group of friends playing with knives.
One of the greatest albums of all time...
Beautiful, badass, and relaxing all in one
all the white pony songs are amazing!
Been waiting about a year for this video! 🔥
Deftones are one of the dopest bands EVER!
They should do some of these videos with rest of the band too, this is a great song and it would be nice to see them join in.

So awesome !!!!!!!! Thanks a lot Stef and the crew
One of those songs that never gets old. One of my all time favorites
This is that song. It’ll never not be my favorite. Not sure how they do it, but Deftones just DOES it. If you know, you know.
The guitar parts in this song are so simple, its easy to assume there's more to it than there actually is.
White Pony is simply a masterpiece
The beginning of this song is one of my favorites. I'm so glad Steph has put these back out there with the playthroughs
I could float here forever!!!!
My favorite track by the boys. After seeing this play through, I really feel like Abe and Chi are what really sent this song over the top for me. Superb rhythm section driving the thing.
This is why I got white pony on my neck…. ❤
That riffs in the beginning 💗💓
This song is what started my love affair for Deftones... and Knives. Beautiful Knives.
He sounds like he's in so much pain I feel for him !🥺
I love deftones
I'd love an acoustic Knife Party, I know they did that Hawaii one, but I want a studio version 😭
No one makes music like Deftones
Tee his was my buddy’s favorite Deftones song!! RIP my brother Matt!! Can we get more of these guys?🙏
I could float here foreverrrrr
My knife it's sharp and chrome
Come see inside my bones
All of the fiends are on the block
I'm the new king
I take the queen
See here we are all anemic
In here anemic and sweet, so
Go get your knife, go get your knife
And come in
So go get your knife, go get your knife
And lay down
Go get your knife, go get your knife
Now kiss me
Ooh, I can float here forever
In this room
we can't touch the floor
in here
We're all anemic
In here anemic and sweet so
Go get your knife, go get your knife
And come in
Go get your knife, go get your knife
And lay down
Go get your knife, go get your knife
And kiss me
I could float here forever
You are ever sweet
Oh, I could float here forever
Oh, anemic and sweet, so
Go get your knife, go get your knife
And come in
Go get your knife, go get your knife
And lay down
Go get your knife, go get your knife
Can't feel a thing
Go get your knife, go get your knife
And kiss me
Wow great cover it sounds like the actual studio version. This guy killed it!
That Song carried me through 2021! ❤
one of my fav songs....it's my alarm in the morning
Goat
i bought this record when i was 21 y old in 2001 . Give me chills until these days. sooooo good
This is still, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
Always brings tear to my eyes when the vocals and guitar blends man fuck such talent these guys have it’s incredible they are truly a master class musicians
this song is just soooooo good
I've been waiting a long time for this one! One of my top three favorite Deftones songs.
