100%! In fact whenever I hear Deftones now, it always reminds me of late night drives I would do when I was a teenager, with windows down and the cool night air in my Mustang. I used to listen to White Pony and Around The Fur a lot while driving at night.
I've loved Deftones since Adrenaline. I can recognize the difference and progression between that, Around the Fur, and White Pony. Change in the house of flies is such an epic song I don't think it makes any difference where you came in. It's just great
I also started with the Adrenaline album, back in the mid 90s :) Totally agree with you. I was also fortunate enough to see them live and Chino was fantastic.
They did say they think the song is about something sexy, and it is a sexy song, just in different ways than most other songs. Even though he is killing this girl it has sexual elements to it, so they weren't entirely wrong.
Very happy to see you diggin' the Deftones. Definitely one of those bands you could legitimately label as "cool". Also recommended: Deftones ft. Maynard (from Tool) - Passenger Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive Honestly though, you'd probably enjoy most of the Deftones' drum patterns. These two tracks I mentioned however lots of people from different musical backgrounds especially enjoy.
Thank you baby Jesus! I’ve been requesting Deftones for a while! I’m so glad you guys were feeling it! I see them every year! Love this channel! Thanks guys!!
The sound design behind this song is utterly phenomenal... the texture of the bass in the beginning, and especially the breakdown after the second chorus, where you hear this sort of... watery mechanical tinkling noise. It's an amazing song.
Next Deftones song should be Change Edit: Love you guys! Been following since the Holy Wars video, you guys got me into Gojira which is now among my favourite bands of all time! The best and only reaction channel I watch. Keep up the great work!
I avoided Gojira, for some reason it sounded corny (being the japanese pronounciation for Godzilla). It is now among my favorite listens. Hoping they will do a vid for Unleash the Archers, really great band.
I played Be Quiet and Drive at a church group once. My friends mom asked, how can a song that makes such awful noises, be so pretty at the same time? ... Welcome to Deftones, ma'am.
Wow, seeing you guys experience this song with fresh eyes is an absolute joy as an old hat when it comes to Deftones. The comparison to George Michael in Chino's voice is something I've never considered, but felt like a puzzle piece finally landing when you brought it up. Love the song and loved y'alls reaction to it. Apropos smashing, I remember when they first released the album this song is from, White Pony, they mentioned that they wanted it to have the kinda music you could bang too which they obviously managed to make
Deftones are one of the most unique metal bands going. I had a feeling you were going to enjoy this one. It would be interesting to see what you think of some of their heavier shit though. Please consider revisiting this band in future!
Cheering me up as always! Deftones are phenomenal. Very dark with a kind of ethereal feel too which is always my thing. Do more! Be Quiet And Drive being my all time favourite song. Eyedea. Even. Shadows. Have. Shadows.
You can thank all the members of deftones of course RIP Chi Cheng but especially Abe Cunningham’s drum skills are by far legendary from the beginning deftones was created. In the industry he’s probably the best and at the top of stylish and smooth percussion vibes that is hypnotizing. Incredible band 100%. Glad you guys reviewed them.
This is my favorite page, I honestly come to this page to find artist who are worth listening to. You guys are like a filter system for music that people need to separate the art from the trash Thanks for introducing me to such great music.
So glad to see Deftones made the playlist! These guys are the real deal. Any song in the catalogue is sure to impress. So, please, pick any one of the requests you’ve got on this thread. You can’t go wrong.
I’ve always thought a lot of Deftones songs were very sensual, especially diamond eyes album. It’s Chino, he’s very seductive in his singing, and then with the melancholy music, how could you not think that? I remember sitting with my guy friends listening to diamond eyes album with them and getting a little uncomfortable cause I just felt like it was so sexy, like do they really like this too? I was so amazed. Love them, easily my favorite band of all time.
I was surprised to see reaction...but glad. Deftones were part of the Nu Metal movement but were so different because of their groove and Chino's vocals. Great reaction.
I feel like this is one of those cases where almost everything was considered "Nu Metal" at that time. But nearly 20 years later... yeah, Deftones really has nothing to do with that scene in hindsight.
Deftones have had a prolific career. They've gotten better with age in my opinion. They are masters of the light and dark elements of sound. They've really broke free from the "nu-metal" genre and perfected a sound that many have since tried to imitate. The dynamic of their sound is something some bands are really good at but fewer do it better. Solid song choice for this reaction, fellas.
I know this is 2 years old but thank you for listening to my favorite band ever. I listen to them everyday going back to 99. White Pony def changed my life. I hope you have listened to other songs/albums and increased your love of them. Deftones forever
Huge deftones fan. Love hearing one of their best songs through another's ears for the first time. You guys just got another subscriber. Thanks for that objective review fam.
Really great video guys, I'm so glad you got to Deftones. And you made a really good point about them being genre-bending, they're the type of band that I enjoy as a metalhead and plenty of my friends who are rap fans, pop fans, and even classic rock fans also listen to them. Their sound just seems to fit for pretty much everyone haha.
Deftones is considered an alternative metal band and they are highly respected cause they are constantly pushing the boundaries of the genre. If you want to try other extremes of Deftones, try Change, which at least for me is haunting
Deftones has been my #1 band since the 1st album no one does it better. Continue to run through the catalog you guys will enjoy it. Check the song hearts and wires, rosemary, change, rocket skates and beauty school. Was great to see both of your reactions #deftones #bestband #deftoneseveryday
I just found you guys for the first time the other day and already I can't get enough of your channel! I absolutely love what you guys are doing here approaching rock music with an open mind. It takes a certain amount of courage and humility to do that. As an endangered species (a rock & metal fan) here, it's infinitely rewarding for a rock listener such as myself to see you genuinely appreciate, and at times even fall in love with this music of ours that we are so passionate about. You guys genuinely put out the vibe that after listening only to rap, hip hop, and R&B all your lives, you're suddenly discovering true 'music' for the first time in your lives. It's been a real pleasure fellas to be able to witness you go on your musical journey of finally experiencing for the first time a mere pittance of the past 3 decades' best rock and metal songs. For your humble consideration, I nominate.... Guns N Roses "Estranged" Alice In Chains "Would?" White Zombie "More Human Than Human"
Chino (lead vocalist) is really something. He's always been one of my favorites! Would love to hear your thoughts on their song Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away). It's my all-time favorite tune by them.
"The cord break away" part is in theme with "Digital Bath" cuz the songs about him taking a girl into a bath and electrocuting her lmao. White Pony is a pretty dark and sexual fantasy type album.
Mark K Chino was so wired on coke for White Pony that he has forgotten most of the meanings for the lyrics. Plus also, White Pony is a 70s disco reference to coke as well. What an album.
In an age when algorithms are spoon feeding us what we already are accustom to, Lost in Vegas broadens our horizons, and in so doing gets us out of our tiny bubbles. Thank you for adding nuance to a sometime dull monochromatic existence.
Love your videos. Too many Deftones songs to recommend, but 'Passenger' and 'Be Quiet and Drive' are a must. Would love to see your reaction to either of these or ideally both!
Deftones have been my favorite band for over twenty years bro, more Deftones, songs like Be quiet and Drive, Bored, Knife Party, Root, Lifter Headup. Just more Deftones.
deftones is my all time favorite so seeing you guys react like this felt as if someone complimented my own music! you guys are hilarious lmaoo pretzel. but i love the energy keep it up guys
Gore is as bad as Pablo Honey by Radiohead. Not their best, but still better than most. If your bands worst album is Gore, you are doing alright for yourself.
Deftones are one of the very few bands that I still adore after 20+ yrs since falling in love with them. I agree, they haven't made a bad album. Saw them again for the 4th or 5th time on the Gore tour and had one of the greatest moments of my life there.
I was about to comment how I don’t think that’s necessarily true because every drummer I know venerates Abe. But upon further reflection, you really don’t see him on many “Top Drummer” type lists. But Meg White is on all of them. Haha. What a backwards place we live in. All I know is that I think he’s a genius drummer, and was my main inspiration to learn to play the drums.
I'd like to answer a couple of the things you guys raised here. First, Deftones' genre would be what's known as "Alternative Metal" - it's heavy, it's dark, but it's also quite melodic and has some elements of other genres such as rock and trip hop. The band is influenced by bands such as the Cure and Duran Duran, but also love and grew up with hip hop like Cypress Hill, which is a lot more obvious in their early material. Secondly, the lyrics. The song is pretty open ended, but general consensus is that the lyrics focus around a woman in a bath, and a man observing or with her. He's obsessing over her, thinking about her, and commenting on how she looks and feels. Then at some stage, he slips an electrical appliance into the bath while it's switched on. "The cord, break away", "You breathed, then you stopped, I breathed, and dried you off", and the name of the song "Digital bath".
Oisín F Thank you for not categorizing them as nu metal. They got lumped in with a lot of those bands back in the late 90s, but they really don't fit there at all except for VERY early Deftones.
Based on your reaction to Gojira and Deftones you should really check out TOOL! Recommendations would be Passenger (Collab between Deftones and Tools singer), The Pot, Lateralus or Vicarious! There is no possibility you wouldnt absolutely love this. Greets from Ger btw
I think if you haven’t heard tool before, you should start with “sober”, “prison sex” “undertow”. From there go on to later stuff. But yeah they should definitely check out Tool!
I'm normally a fan of these reaction videos, but this one popped up as I'm a huge fan of this band, album and song. It's a masterpiece and it made my day watching you guys enjoying this track! 🤙
Yea, "Sound of muzak" would be perfect. I think they would really like the groove of that song and it has some interesting lyrics. Very different band from anything the've done before.
Loving these videos! There's something attractive about watching someone else experience a song or a band for the first time, given how familiar a lot of us are with the material already. I was pre-headbanging for the chorus haha
Bruh, the entire White Pony album is just a masterpiece
around the fur is not behind (at least for me)
Their entire discography is a masterpiece!
I am a huge Deftones fan, and for me White Pony is just a great masterpiece
White pony
Adrenaline
Around the fur
My personal to 3 albums in that order
White Pony definitely their best album imo. I feel like their later albums become too bloated.
Don't apologize for not hearing of a band before. I almost envy you guys hearing this stuff for the first time.
Right?!
Nah I would regret having lived so long without deftones in my life.
Some people patronize them for that though
Oh, to go back and discover this band again
Johnny CincoCero nick diaz introduced me to them they’re so good
As a huge Deftones fan, your immediate reaction was so gratifying.
Absolutely
George you killed my with "someone's getting put into a pretzel to this!" Priceless.
Trust me, it's true......I've put a few ladies into pretzels to this!
lmfao Chino's voice will make any man say that shit yo damn his voice super sexy no homo
While slapping the table😂😂😂
A crispy pretzel.
@@MarcoRodriguez-ci3pg ayoo no mames, guey 😂
You couldn't have picked a better introduction to this band.
Daryl Bowman I was going to say the same. But it's nice to see defones in the list
😀
^what he said!!!
Or change. Or passenger would have also been great
Yes! Exactly what I was thinking. I knew they’d love the sultryness
be quiet and drive and knife party by deftones ! two of my favorite tracks ! cheers guys, loved the vid !
First association to the deftones sound is sex? You got it, you felt it.
Welcome to the 'tones club guys.
love ur comment brah
Sextones
And electrocuting someone in the bathtub
Relevant username
DIGIT4LB4TH aaahh Sextones
Some of the best driving music
doctor dre and snopp that song they say smoke w everyday is a good driving song too
100%! In fact whenever I hear Deftones now, it always reminds me of late night drives I would do when I was a teenager, with windows down and the cool night air in my Mustang. I used to listen to White Pony and Around The Fur a lot while driving at night.
Michaël X That’s what I do a lot, I love driving at night with the windows down blasting deftones in my mustang, I feel at peace doing that.
Hell yeah especially at night
YES...on a dark empty highway.
My mom passed away last year and this was her favorite song. She would play this so loud and it cracked me up. Love and miss you mom
Alby damned strength, brother.
All power to you to you
What a great memory of your mom! I'm sorry to hear about her passing. I hope you are coping :) take care
Much love to You and Your mom. It's going to be 11 years for me.
That's one cool mom. R.I.P.
Yaaassss
Oh! And their cover of Sade's "No Ordinary Love". Deffffinitely.
I've loved Deftones since Adrenaline. I can recognize the difference and progression between that, Around the Fur, and White Pony.
Change in the house of flies is such an epic song I don't think it makes any difference where you came in. It's just great
I also started with the Adrenaline album, back in the mid 90s :)
Totally agree with you. I was also fortunate enough to see them live and Chino was fantastic.
I also fucking love Rocket Skates. And pretty much all of Diamond Eyes.
Yeah, Diamond Eyes is my favorite Deftones album next to White Pony.
Hahaha this is wild, people discovering Deftones in 2018 and they digging it too! That's what's up
Young Van Preach, brother!
Gabriel Kelley I was thinking the same thing!!!
hahahaha yea
I just discovered im 2018 too
Good music is good music no matter what year broder
little did they know it's actually about electricuting a girl in a bathtub...
Someone beat me to it. Dare I say, a splash of cold water to the reality of what the song is
And then driving her corpses around ☺
.
@@trafficking2596 exactly!!
They did say they think the song is about something sexy, and it is a sexy song, just in different ways than most other songs. Even though he is killing this girl it has sexual elements to it, so they weren't entirely wrong.
Very happy to see you diggin' the Deftones. Definitely one of those bands you could legitimately label as "cool". Also recommended:
Deftones ft. Maynard (from Tool) - Passenger
Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive
Honestly though, you'd probably enjoy most of the Deftones' drum patterns. These two tracks I mentioned however lots of people from different musical backgrounds especially enjoy.
Yep
Best thing about Be Quiet and Drive is just when you think it's over, it comes back again for the big finish.
I got the alert for Deftones - "Digital Bath" and I couldn't watch this fast enough. Been waiting for Deftones since I saw you guys!
TheAntiAppeaser dude right!
My Own Summer...has to be done! You're in after the first two drum hits.
The Matrix has you
They might not be a fan of that sode of deftones
ErichWilliam so many good songs, going to bed on this album now
Cool to see other people “fangirling” over a great band like this
Deftones is my favourite band so I'm overjoyed to see you enjoy this as much as you did! I would really love to see your reaction to more Deftones!
Thank you baby Jesus! I’ve been requesting Deftones for a while! I’m so glad you guys were feeling it! I see them every year! Love this channel! Thanks guys!!
Deftones my all time fave band 😍💗
Mine too 💗💗💗💗
I feel they dont get as much recognition as they should.
Mustard n Biscuits they really don’t 😩😩
SpaceCoven they haven't put out a bad record. Easily, one of the most consistent band in the last 20 plus years.
same, since somewhere around 1996... right after i heard bored, it was over
The sound design behind this song is utterly phenomenal... the texture of the bass in the beginning, and especially the breakdown after the second chorus, where you hear this sort of... watery mechanical tinkling noise. It's an amazing song.
That “watery mechanical tinkling noise” is superb.
That noise is done by hitting the strings on the other side of the bridge (the opposite side of the neck) on a T.O.M bridge for an electric guitar
@@hatredbydesign OH SHIT, thank you for the explanation!
I've been waiting for this. You NEED to listen to more Deftones.
Next Deftones song should be Change
Edit: Love you guys! Been following since the Holy Wars video, you guys got me into Gojira which is now among my favourite bands of all time! The best and only reaction channel I watch. Keep up the great work!
Agreed on that
Yes so much yes in this!
Ye they would like that. I would suggest bored just to change their perspective a bit.
I avoided Gojira, for some reason it sounded corny (being the japanese pronounciation for Godzilla). It is now among my favorite listens. Hoping they will do a vid for Unleash the Archers, really great band.
Deftones is my favourite band and this made me really happy.
Please, next time try with Be Quiet And Drive, my favourite song ever.
That's their zenith without a doubt. Their second Deftones listen needs to be that tune for sure.
Ditto this sentiment. be quiet and drive baby. Their entire catalogue is so damn good. Cheers
My favorite by them too!
I played Be Quiet and Drive at a church group once. My friends mom asked, how can a song that makes such awful noises, be so pretty at the same time? ... Welcome to Deftones, ma'am.
deftones are life
Deftones is one of the greatest bands in the world!
I love seeing people appreciate Deftones. Some people don’t get it. I have no business with those people.
damn straight -- me either
my exact feeling, dude.
Joshua J Day I am married to a guy that hates Chino's singing 😟
Yep. I don't even bother showing people them because they're just a strong cup of coffee - you like it or you don't.
Alana Robertson no, just no. Didn't know that was possible.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The white pony album is amazing! If you like this, check out “Knife Party” from the same album! Please!!!!!
Audie Morris too many vowels :)
Passenger!
Yeah... I just had to put Knife Prty on... Its so great
Passenger
Always makes me think of a harder "Great Gig in the Sky"
Deftones - Hole in the Earth
Deftones - Change (In the House of Flies)
Deftones - Back to School
TheGafel
you've seen the butcher
Hearts/Wires
Prayers/Triangles
Phantom Bride
Kimdracula
Pittura infamante
Entomed
Rosemary
diamond eyes and my own summer are good choices too
Wow, seeing you guys experience this song with fresh eyes is an absolute joy as an old hat when it comes to Deftones.
The comparison to George Michael in Chino's voice is something I've never considered, but felt like a puzzle piece finally landing when you brought it up.
Love the song and loved y'alls reaction to it. Apropos smashing, I remember when they first released the album this song is from, White Pony, they mentioned that they wanted it to have the kinda music you could bang too which they obviously managed to make
Believe me: Chino would absolutely appreciate being compared to George Michael
Change - Deftones. Gotta do it.
It is *the* definitive Deftones track.
First heard that one in a DBZ anime and was my introduction to deftones
Rick C no it is not
This needs to happen! One of my favorites.
I heard it first a long time ago in the movie Queen of the Damned. First song I had ever heard by them, and I instantly loved it.
This is the best reaction channel out there ! keep up the good work guys !!!!
Deftones are one of the most unique metal bands going. I had a feeling you were going to enjoy this one. It would be interesting to see what you think of some of their heavier shit though. Please consider revisiting this band in future!
When you listen to Deftones and suddenly like it, you have awesome taste in music..
lol no one tell them it's actually a murder fantasy about killing someone in a bath tub with a toaster. Their interpretation is still so pure.
That's what makes this song so awesome! No one would guess it's about electrocuting a chic in a bathtub
Lol wtf forreal? You've ruined the song for me forever 😂
drummer265 sexy af anyway lol
Cheering me up as always! Deftones are phenomenal. Very dark with a kind of ethereal feel too which is always my thing. Do more! Be Quiet And Drive being my all time favourite song.
Eyedea. Even. Shadows. Have. Shadows.
Trust me guys check out "Passenger" I guarantee you it will hit the play list!...You won't be disappointed
Liquid Swords I just said the same thing
W/ Maynard
Guaranfuckenteed
You can thank all the members of deftones of course RIP Chi Cheng but especially Abe Cunningham’s drum skills are by far legendary from the beginning deftones was created. In the industry he’s probably the best and at the top of stylish and smooth percussion vibes that is hypnotizing.
Incredible band 100%. Glad you guys reviewed them.
I had to comment before even watching the video. So glad to see Deftones on here!! if you react to them again, I have to suggest "Passenger".
This is my favorite page, I honestly come to this page to find artist who are worth listening to. You guys are like a filter system for music that people need to separate the art from the trash
Thanks for introducing me to such great music.
Can't wait to see another Deftones reaction! Their catalogue is DEEP!
Where Chino's voice goes, I follow. His side work is just as strong.
three crosses is awesome and underrated
Palms is also amazing. Chino and Isis are magic together
Raymond Llavona True, Team Sleep is also amazing
Hell yes, Team Sleep is one of my favorites. And the work he's done with Rob Crow, Page Hamilton, and Norma Jean? Beautiful stuff
Side b an rarities is good
So glad to see Deftones made the playlist! These guys are the real deal. Any song in the catalogue is sure to impress. So, please, pick any one of the requests you’ve got on this thread. You can’t go wrong.
Deftones makes cool songs with a good ambience
DEFTONES feat. Maynard James Keenan from T00L - [Passenger] off this same album
Maynard James Keenan
LOL I knew that. I knew something seemed off
DEFINITELY
Amen!
Or Beauty School which is a hell of a hot song
Fucking hell i love whole Diamond Eyes album sooo
Most of post-2000 Deftones is pure sex
Deftones defined my teenage years, everytime I hear them it makes me feel young again.
"Put in a pretzel" you guys got me rolling on that one!!
lol!!
Deftones - Rosemary!!! That song hits me sooooo hard! Plus, it has one of the most beautiful intros ever.
Keep up the amazing job 😁
I was so excited when I saw this in my recommended!! Deftones is legendary

They were some of the same early on, a great representation of it but, the band and Chino's growth makes them really stand out as the years passed.
If you guys loved this, I'm sure you'll love Tool's Stinkfist!
Singer's voice and the mood is smooth!
clementine yu or 46 and 2 or H by tool
Awesome request, I love Tool.
they did 46 and 2 already
TOOL AND THE DEFTONES AREN'T EVEN CLOSE TO BEING THE SAME TYPE OF MUSIC...LMAO
Don't know why you think that, both bands have similar properties but also keep to their own "style".
Deftones have had a prolific career. They've gotten better with age in my opinion. They are masters of the light and dark elements of sound. They've really broke free from the "nu-metal" genre and perfected a sound that many have since tried to imitate. The dynamic of their sound is something some bands are really good at but fewer do it better. Solid song choice for this reaction, fellas.
Cassettiquette deftones is the only band where you can’t find a hater on their videos
Well said!!!!! Deftones never have let me down!!!! Even Gore is AMAZING
It kills me when the braindeads are like "oh they suck after around the fur" it's like dude.. you just missed years and years of incredible songs.
Deftones are just Deftones. Like Tool is just Tool. No pigeon holed genre, just artists.
Taco Crisma exactly brah. Deftones are the GOAT
I know this is 2 years old but thank you for listening to my favorite band ever. I listen to them everyday going back to 99. White Pony def changed my life. I hope you have listened to other songs/albums and increased your love of them. Deftones forever
So, with that history in mind, whats your thoughts on Shut Up and Drive?
Amos Ellington oh it’s a great song too! Once I came aboard fully I went back and listened to all the older tunes. True fan here!
Deftones songs
1. Be quiet and drive
2. My own summer
3. Change
4. Sextape
5. Minerva
6. Swerve city
7. The tempest
Whaaaat? No "Back to School" love?

Haha. It slipped my mind. Either Back to School or Pink Maggit would be dope.
Deftones biggest song is on that same record, Change(in the house of flies) you'll like that one as well
Huge deftones fan. Love hearing one of their best songs through another's ears for the first time. You guys just got another subscriber. Thanks for that objective review fam.

Spoiler: They did!
@@Grayth1985 Right!! I just saw that!!!
You guys did it! Perfect! Saw them in Singapore and they are amazinggg. Great choice. You MUST do Passenger by them next! We told yaaaa :)
Amber S Agreed, it also features Maynard James Keenan of Tool and A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Amazing track!
Best live band ever...and I’ve seen a ton of live bands!
They already did passenger
Dylan Caldwell I don’t think they have. If they did, it’s been taken down.
Bryan Gates
I thought it would be nice to see the react to that. If they already have then I guess I missed it too.

Dylan Caldwell i remember hearing that breakdown for the first time. Perfect pick up the change song

My favorite song from my favorite band. Man you guys just had a special moment in your life. Your life may never be the same.
In an age when algorithms are spoon feeding us what we already are accustom to, Lost in Vegas broadens our horizons, and in so doing gets us out of our tiny bubbles. Thank you for adding nuance to a sometime dull monochromatic existence.
♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Damn right Laurie, couldn’t have described it better than that 👍
I have no words for this. My favorite deftones song. never heard of you guys before but i enjoyed every second of this. following you right now.
Luiz Marcos i have some words, its literally fycking amazing and they need to do more. Deftones are the greatest
I second this
Passenger by Deftones
Scott Bell omfg
A very dreamy feel to a lot of their music. That's how I would describe it.
Love your videos. Too many Deftones songs to recommend, but 'Passenger' and 'Be Quiet and Drive' are a must. Would love to see your reaction to either of these or ideally both!
George got me dead on this one 😂 “I’m gettin it in to this song” 💀💀💀
Deftones have been my favorite band for over twenty years bro, more Deftones, songs like Be quiet and Drive, Bored, Knife Party, Root, Lifter Headup.
Just more Deftones.
deftones is my all time favorite so seeing you guys react like this felt as if someone complimented my own music! you guys are hilarious lmaoo pretzel. but i love the energy keep it up guys
lmao I thought the same
Deftones are one of the few bands in the metal/alternative community who have yet to make a "bad" album. Solid through and through!
Also, this is some serious baby makin music! (as a side note I posted this at about 30 seconds in, haha. Smash somethin!)
I think the last one Gore is their first bad album.
Gore is as bad as Pablo Honey by Radiohead. Not their best, but still better than most. If your bands worst album is Gore, you are doing alright for yourself.
Deftones are one of the very few bands that I still adore after 20+ yrs since falling in love with them. I agree, they haven't made a bad album.
Saw them again for the 4th or 5th time on the Gore tour and had one of the greatest moments of my life there.
Maybe it's just me but I feel like Abe Cunningham (drummer) is underrated.
He's amazing. Doesn't overplay, but excellent parts, fills, and subtlety.
Evangelos Theodorou ohh totally.
I was about to comment how I don’t think that’s necessarily true because every drummer I know venerates Abe. But upon further reflection, you really don’t see him on many “Top Drummer” type lists. But Meg White is on all of them. Haha. What a backwards place we live in. All I know is that I think he’s a genius drummer, and was my main inspiration to learn to play the drums.
He's great and subtle. He's not overrated tho, every drummer respects his style.
Abe cunningham is a BEAST
Deftones are bae
valerie guidry Like you
Yesss 😩
Please don't use the word "bae" when referring to Deftones, unless you're just joking around & saying it in a silly, ironic way.
Miami Hurricanes
valerie guidry this comment is so funny
Deftones - Passenger next!
YES
The whole deftones discography is full of smash songs.
For more Deftones goodness:
Be Quiet and Drive
Hole in the Earth
Tempest
Minerva
Around the Fur
Diamond Eyes
You’ve Seen the Butcher
Beauty School
Joel L. L. Yep! All great choices aside from Hole in the Earth, which is one of the few Deftones tracks I just can’t get into at all.
Seconding Be Quiet And Drive.
But kimdracula thooooo

These were super pure reactions, and being a huge fan of Deftones I love watching other people fall in love with this band.
Also, ya’ll would probably like Rosemary by Deftones!
I'd like to answer a couple of the things you guys raised here.
First, Deftones' genre would be what's known as "Alternative Metal" - it's heavy, it's dark, but it's also quite melodic and has some elements of other genres such as rock and trip hop. The band is influenced by bands such as the Cure and Duran Duran, but also love and grew up with hip hop like Cypress Hill, which is a lot more obvious in their early material.
Secondly, the lyrics. The song is pretty open ended, but general consensus is that the lyrics focus around a woman in a bath, and a man observing or with her. He's obsessing over her, thinking about her, and commenting on how she looks and feels. Then at some stage, he slips an electrical appliance into the bath while it's switched on. "The cord, break away", "You breathed, then you stopped, I breathed, and dried you off", and the name of the song "Digital bath".
Oisín F Thank you for not categorizing them as nu metal. They got lumped in with a lot of those bands back in the late 90s, but they really don't fit there at all except for VERY early Deftones.
I always considered them as Nu Metal due to their early material - but they have evolved over time.
Based on your reaction to Gojira and Deftones you should really check out TOOL! Recommendations would be Passenger (Collab between Deftones and Tools singer), The Pot, Lateralus or Vicarious! There is no possibility you wouldnt absolutely love this. Greets from Ger btw
They did a reaction to Tool. Check it out!
th-cam.com/video/TPZtF9xHFR8/w-d-xo.html
Lateralus please!
They did "Forty six and 2". I'd love to see one to "H"
I think if you haven’t heard tool before, you should start with “sober”, “prison sex” “undertow”. From there go on to later stuff.
But yeah they should definitely check out Tool!
BronzDano
Sober is a too notch song for sure but I wonder if it's a little on the nose for a reaction video
Deftones are legendary by the way
James Cuffle totally . So unique
Wish I could thumbs this up every time I see it. This may be the best reaction video on TH-cam.
Deftones - Be Quiet and Drive
PASSENGER ft. Maynard James Keenan of Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer
Yes!
Yes that song is insanely good!!
Yes please
You got to listen to that song! My favorit Deftones song
They gotta do it.
Deftones... My Own Summer... This is a winner!
I'm normally a fan of these reaction videos, but this one popped up as I'm a huge fan of this band, album and song. It's a masterpiece and it made my day watching you guys enjoying this track! 🤙
Porcupine Tree - The Sound of Muzak, or Fear of a Blank Planet!!
Yea, "Sound of muzak" would be perfect. I think they would really like the groove of that song and it has some interesting lyrics.
Very different band from anything the've done before.
I think they would love Anesthetize.
Yea me too but I doubt they want to react to a 17 minute prog/pop/rock/metal song :)
Deftones my own summer
Finally!!!!!! This is what i am missing in youtube! You guys got a new subscriber here! Keep it up!
Loving these videos! There's something attractive about watching someone else experience a song or a band for the first time, given how familiar a lot of us are with the material already. I was pre-headbanging for the chorus haha
Yes! 100 percent what a great idea. And Deftones Digital Bath on the video title, that's something.
Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
Knife Party
Hexagram
Minerva
Acid Hologram
hexagram, though.....💜💜
Minerva
Be quiet and drive
Hexagrammm
We can do better than that
They actually did a remake of Sade "No Ordinary Love"... It was done perfectly!!!
Beat me to it!
Sade's version is actually heavier than Deftones' version. She had palm muted distorted guitars in her mix. Listen to it.
I said the same thing too. Deftones are such a great underappreciated band.
I’m a 35 yo male and am now pregnant 🤰 bc of this. My mom’s gonna be pissed!
Tanner Garcia 😂😂 lmao
