With the Elvis impression part, I wonder if he was self conscious of the similarities between this period in his life/career and that of Elvis when he was drugged out and overweight... luckily Chino avoided the same fate but i've read that he went through a lot around this time like addiction, divorce, band tensions...
Chino is a self admitted addict and heavy drinker. Judging by his music and lyrical content that's not exactly surprising. Got to see them live for the first time in 1998 I Philly. Absolutely magical!
It's funny how people always say his vocals suck. I mean they aren't perfect and sometimes there bad, but it's chino what do you expect ? I've seen them live 3 times and he sounds amazing
There wasn’t anything notable or questionable in this video. After all, his lyricism is odd and cryptic; his vocal inflection and tone is also quite atypical.
Sheldon Benton Exactly. The strength of the songs and passion in the performances far outweigh the notes a front man can hit. This is one of the many reasons Deftones are so widely respected in the post hardcore community among both fans and bands alike.
People that say Chino’s vocals suck can’t mimic his vocals. This link is to a professional opera singer commenting on Chino’s vocals on the Deftones song “Change,” on her TH-cam channel called, “The Charismatic Voice.” th-cam.com/video/O_xEFE2uhjw/w-d-xo.html her name is Elizabeth Zharoff and is an international opera singer and voice coach, with 3 degrees in voice, opera, and music production. She's performed in 18 languages throughout maior venues in Europe America, and Asia.
for me one of the main reasons i love his voice so much is the contrast between the whispering then a burst of murmered screaming. if he stopped deftones would loose alot of thier unique sound.
Between 2003 and present, Chino packed on a substantial amount of weight. And unfortunately it is not in a rocker's image to maintain physical fitness. But as mentioned by others, Chino's health directly affects his abilities to sing. On the album version he actually sings the word "earth". In all the live versions he screams it.
this is actually pretty heavy if you think about it ! I don't get it sometimes how can we listen to this and actually love it !?! It's SICK !!! Love This Band !!!
@BLACKSUNR1SE I'm not looking to pick a stupid youtube tiff, but personally I feel this performance is Deftones in the most pure form. If anything, the studio versions are so clean you lose the real raw essence of the band, which is really rough and violent; it's not for everyone but I've seen them live many times and it might be shocking at first because it doesn't sound like the CD, but I actually think it's suits the sound better. in the end its my opinion and I'm throwing it out there
the fact he's doing an elvis voice, then screaming his fucking ass off shows how much of a fierce singer he is if someone showed me 3:13-3:21 and told me to guess who it is, chino would be the last person i'd pick. amazing.
@DISSODANTS i get the difference. i too have seen them live several times. it is fun and impassioned, no doubt...but it would be nice to have a little of the sonic qualities and control he brings to the recordings to be present live...that's my opinion.
@DISSODANTS i think your completly right man, they do some many genres and have such a wide fan base because of it. i happen to like korn and pantera but i prefer there more experimental songs and im not a huge fan of elite because of that. SNW is probs one of there best effots coz it covers so many different area's Deftones are the the best :)
@dontbecomplainin34 There are lots of good live videos of him. Especially recent ones. I think he was at his worst around that time though, so that'd be why.
funny as fuck. loe it when puts the glasses on and turns into Elvis. THEY SOUND SO MUCH BETTER NOW. SEEN THEM A WEEK AGO IN NOTTINGHAM ROCK CITY AND THEY WERE NOTHING SHORT OF BEING AMAZING.
@ag2res2or I beg to differ about LP. I love BOTH bands. Who the fuck are you to say LP sucks? Are you out there making music people all over the world enjoy?
@BLACKSUNR1SE I get what you mean. especially when whole vocal lines are missing. There is a fine line between viceral impassioned performance and drug induced incompetence; like Jimi hendrix, some of his last performances were a travesty and he is practically a musical god to me.
Omg all those fuckers saying that deftones suck live and complain about chinos weight should use common logic and see if they would be able to sing like chino does and jump around like chino does after all these years of screaming his fucking lungs out and having probs with his vocal cords and then gaining weight cuz he did what was best cuz he valued his life-deftones are old school and chino is pro i love the deftones all the fucking way
the deftones fuckin' rock!! i cant stand the lame critics that post bullshit. these guys are a true band, through thick and thin. its all about money these days, or playing what labels want. they totally said fuck you to that. DEFTONES aRe Rock N' RoLL!!!!!!!
I honestly think because Deftones cover so much ground that their fan base is really broad...you have your korn pantera fans that like the straight foward metal material...(what little of it they do have) than you have the hardcore fans that like their experimental dreamy sonic washes that seperate them from every other Numetal group that they got lumped with in the 90's. thats why I liked SNW I think it was a big fuck you to the lesser of their fan base.
listen to yourself talk... now try and remember what you sounded like 10 years ago! im pretty sure your voice has changed and your weight has fluctuated throughout those ten years... same with chino. I give credit where credit is due!
dude u have to admit he doesnt sound as good as he used too ,deftoens are one of my fav bands of all time..i love em im just worried about chino..hes losing stamina and if he doesnt slow down or take care of his voice he might blow it out and have too call it quits and u would have NO deftones...and as for me id rather see a vocally healthy chino on a break then NO DEFTONES lol
the guitar is too quite, it should be louder than bass and in this concert it is vice versa... also chino dosn't sing as good as he could poor performance :|
chino is pushing 40. why is he still screaming? white pony was a step in the right direction but then the last two albums have gone back to the heavy yelling shit. they're not 19 anymore. grow up.

03:24 the microphone gets off and we can still hear chino's scream!
It’s not just him screaming. You know that right? 😃
thats actually crazy wow

This was more of a non-refutable and a subjective claim....
But yes, he is the greatest of all time.

Every time I watch the Deftones live the hair stands up on my arms. Pure electricity.

Ha, that Elvis impersonation made me laugh out loud. And once again, another killer performance!
a beautiful song. It brings back many memories
Dude Deftones is the BEST BAND in the Universe.

LOL @ that elvis-style-singing....great performance.
I wonder if he's ever fallen on his ass stepping off that platform he goes up on to sing.
Are u kididng me deftones are sick live

GOD HELP! -
GOD HELP!-
GOD HELP ME, GOD!!
@CholitoChuy it is a little bit of elvis, they listen to his music before shows alot of the time
27th august!! LONDON!!! \m/
Chino is Badass & Deftones Rock!!
That is "passion"... something that actual bands doesnt have.
i agree dude...!!
haha, great.... those glasses for chino... great!!
the fact he's doing an elvis voice, then screaming his fucking ass off shows how much of a fierce singer he is
if someone showed me 3:13-3:21 and told me to guess who it is, chino would be the last person i'd pick. amazing.
Also - it sounded like they used a 'Horn of Gondor' sample at 1:36
RIP Chi
the age is killing him, but he is the best
DEFTONES FOREVES
yeah! I MISS THE OLD GOOD TIMES OF DEFTONES
1997
When he put the glasses on and did that Elvis thing or whatever, I nearly died laughing. LOL!!
GREAT SONG I LOVE U CHINO
@DISSODANTS i get the difference. i too have seen them live several times. it is fun and impassioned, no doubt...but it would be nice to have a little of the sonic qualities and control he brings to the recordings to be present live...that's my opinion.
LOL at the elvis voice!!!!
Elvis Moreno?
Everyone who think Chino is not good in live performances, look at 3:22 !!! HARDCORE !!!!!!!!!!
2:25 worst Chino vocals ever? hahaha
Eric Sandoval dark times bro
LOL pretty much
nope. Worst would be him singing passenger during this era
You think that’s bad you should see When Girls Telephone Boys at this same show lol
@CholitoChuy doing Elvis thing? stupid question :P
@DISSODANTS i think your completly right man, they do some many genres and have such a wide fan base because of it.
i happen to like korn and pantera but i prefer there more experimental songs and im not a huge fan of elite because of that.
SNW is probs one of there best effots coz it covers so many different area's
Deftones are the the best :)
shite this is heavy, one of those songs that is so much better live. it was sick when he put on those sunglasses hahaha
@dontbecomplainin34 There are lots of good live videos of him. Especially recent ones. I think he was at his worst around that time though, so that'd be why.
@CholitoChuy doing his best to immate the singers of the 1980's
LOVE THE WHOLE ELVIS SKIT CHINO!
@SunsetEuphoria Galing mo. Super.
funny as fuck. loe it when puts the glasses on and turns into Elvis.
THEY SOUND SO MUCH BETTER NOW. SEEN THEM A WEEK AGO IN NOTTINGHAM ROCK CITY AND THEY WERE NOTHING SHORT OF BEING AMAZING.

@ag2res2or I beg to differ about LP.
I love BOTH bands.
Who the fuck are you to say LP sucks?
Are you out there making music people all over the world enjoy?
Cool Videos err yea I think I beat you up on UFC 4 🤔 GG ✌🏾💯😉
cuz he sounds good for pushing almost 40!
@BLACKSUNR1SE I get what you mean. especially when whole vocal lines are missing. There is a fine line between viceral impassioned performance and drug induced incompetence; like Jimi hendrix, some of his last performances were a travesty and he is practically a musical god to me.
@ag2res2or I like them both.
