This might interest. Lead singer Chino Moreno (on Maynard's appearance): "Having Maynard perform on the record wasn't something that we planned on doing. We didn't plan on having any guest on the record. But being a fan of Tool and A Perfect Circle, once Maynard was involved, it was just a magical thing for us. Honestly, when he first started working with us, he wasn't supposed to sing with us. He was just working on the arrangements, riff structures, time signatures, and things like that. I don't know if you're a big fan of Tool's music, but they're really mathematical. I've been to their rehearsal space, and there's this big chart that just looks like calculus--the way they write songs, it's just crazy. It was good to have someone else who has different ways of writing songs, 'cause everyone has a different way of doing it. He came in and we started working on this one song in particular, and he just grabbed the microphone and started singing along to it, and my jaw just dropped. All of a sudden our band sounded like Tool; it was just crazy. Then, probably two months later, we went in to record the album, and I went in to record the vocals on it, and I just kept hearing his voice, this re-occurring melody with his voice coming over it. So I called him and asked him if he wanted to come down and sing on the record, and he had no problem with it. Once he came in, I gave him sort of what I wanted the song to be about, and he wrote a couple of ideas down, and the next day he came in with all the lyrics written all out with blank spaces where my lyrics were supposed to be. He's very professional like that. He wants everything set perfectly, which is the complete opposite to the way that I write, so it was cool. And then I went in and did my vocals over it, and it just seemed that our voices blended together pretty good. Yeah, it came out pretty good, so we decided to put it on the record."
I saw them at the same festival and chino actually threw some shade at Maynard for not wanting to do the appearance for Passenger. But Max Cavalera came out for Head Up it was awesome!
DIGItAL BATH - deftones!! Is just Magick. Seen them live in the rain and just made me look at things a lil differen. You guys are great fun to watch all thsongs I grew up watching
They keep almost getting it and then they don't. They mention being the passenger in the back seat, have their way with them. The song is "up and down". Take me to the edge. IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE. 😂
Yupp , the misty windows part was the biggest clue I'd say. Anyone whose had sex in a car with the windows shut knows. Also how fuckin amazing it is to open a window and feel the breeze blown on your bodies.
i heard this song live with maynard on stage with deftones at roskilde festival a long time ago. remember it like it was yesterday. it was super intence too see them both peform this song live
Deftones youve seen the butcher is a good one also. Something about their music does give off a sexy kinda vibe. The contrast of chino’s singing and the dark sounds of their tuned down instruments just very sexy
I've always heard this song is a dog's perspective of a car ride with its master... maybe not, but it's fun and works if you think of it that way. haha
Type O Negative would also fall into that "Vampire Baby Making Music" They have a very "Intimate" atmosphere and a "Seductive" vibe. "Black No. 1" "Bloody Kisses" and "Christian Woman" would be some good songs to check out. You guys will dig their musicality as well as that atmosphere they create.
Chino said "I did this song with Maynard from Tool. Basically, I told him I wanted to create a scenario of being in a car and being taken for a drive when you don't really know what's going on. I wanted him to create a lot of imagery. he wrote a majority of the of the lyrics and left blanks for me to fill in. It seems like you're being held captive, but enjoy what's going on."
I listened to this whole album on repeat on a 4 day bus ride from Quebec City to Edmonton AB in 2004. I’ll tell you this song hits different when you’re 3 days in with no sleep slipping in and out of consciousness at 3am on a bus in the middle of unknown land.
I've listened to Passenger at least 100 times...my fav Deftones song post Around the Fur album. I never thought of this as a baby making song until now. Good song
Ahh man, this song has been off my radar for quite a few years. This song was/is awesome. Hit the highway solo and crank this jam. Hell yea y’all, reactors putting me back in touch🤙
I love how the Deftones play with tempo in a lot of their pieces. It becomes a huge focal point to draw attention to certain lyrics. I know it is a tool that musicians do play with, but it's something Deftones use a lot
Deftones is my all time favorite band! Passenger is my favorite song! I saw them when I was a teenager at the White Pony tour. Incubus opened. Best concert ever!!
You two have been killing it with your reaction videos .. I’m a big Tool , Deftones , Pink Floyd and A Perfect Circle fan … you should really check out some Ashes Divide .. The guy who formed this band is Billy Howerdel , started out as a guitar tech for tool then started A perfect Circle with Maynard , He actually writes a lot of APC songs .. He showed Maynard some of the stuff he was working on for himself and Maynard supported him to do a solo project and that is Ashes Divide
It’s funny: - I like these bands for both completely different reasons and I’ve always struggled listening through this song BUT for some reason listening to your guys take and interpretation made the whole experience that much more enjoyable! - thanks guys, really dug this video. Consequently, liked and subscribed :)👍👍
Lex, you need to listen and watch the video “You’ve Seen the Butcher” by the Deftones. It is 1,000% your vampire baby making music you’ve been looking for. You’d think it was from scenes of True Blood.
Actually the whole Diamond Eyes album is amazing. It’s constantly in my rotation of favorite albums. Brad would probably dig ‘Sextape’ from that album along with ‘Digital Bath’ from White Pony.
Agreed! Im a female, a smidge over 50 & Sevendust makes me want to jump smack dab in the middle of a mosh pit and knock around (now, I wont…. cuz I’m old and that shit hurts - but, still) the song ‘Black’ is one of my favs!!!
YES I LOVE THIS SONG its the male equivalent of darling nikki. a man being used for his energy because of what he is. except hes willing because he doesnt want to be alone.
One of my favorite songs ever about being alone in a car at night with the one you love. Getting down n dirty n not giving a single f$&k who sees anything. All while not wanting the night to end and just keep going. That’s my take on it anyway and yea still one of my favorite songs ever!
As far as vampire music, Deftones does have song on the queen of the damned soundtrack. Which was also coproduced by Jonathan Davis of Korn. The soundtrack is definitely a whole vibe.
Lex seems to like the heavier tunes. You guys should react to "teething" by deftones live from pinkpop 98. Not many people if anyone has reacted to it and one of their better hard songs.
Love this band, and even to this day they are still putting out QUALITY music (even though most people don't realize they're still pumping out albums!)
You guys have to know since you reacted to Change and Passenger, this album (White Pony) was meant to be listen while making love (said Chino) !! I would suggest Be Quiet And Drive for your next Desftones song. I'm not english speaker, sorry
11:20. Don’t know if you already know this. Maynard creates his lyrics around the music. Its always the instrumentation comes first, and then the lyrics get wrapped around.
"This would totally be in a vampire love making scene...totally " Hehe haha. I had the exact same thought when I first heard this track.....like a vampire in the back seat in an uber that's a hearse....queen of the damned 2002 vibes
For sure about someone being kidnapped, but instead of being scared, they love it! Almost like a new begging is coming for the person being kidnapped! The thrill is addiction
This was the album where Deftones explored a new wave n yes drugs were involved, I love the baby making thinking was a kool plus, but it was you chillin wit your friend n the drug of choice kicked in, that scenario in words but it was an a word play of being sexual , as when you first make love n that feeling to come back again
Gotta check out more deftones y'all! Man this song... i don't even listen to it nowadays cuz of the imaginery. WHAT DA! havin sess in the car oh Lawd.. is this freaky tuesday?
For Halloween, you should listen to Halloween from Helloween. It's my favorite Halloween song! Another great song is Ayreon - The Day That the World Breaks Down. It has 11 singers and great lyrics and music. One of the best albums to listen to is Operation Mindcrime from Queensryche. The whole album tells a story.
I’ve never bothered to check on this, but I always assumed this song was written as a sort of a sequel to The Chauffeur by Duran Duran, which Deftones do an awesome cover version of.

Oh goddamn I've totally forgotten about about tool , I was a huge fan of them too.
Other deftones songs worth listening:
- rosemary
- around the fur
- Be quiet and drive
- digital bath
- deathblow
- needles and pins
- minerva
- xerces
- beware
- sextape
- mascara
- knife prty
Top shout, respect, all the best to you good sir.
@@GillRant thank you, wish u the best too :)
I would like to add Feiticetira to this awesome list
@@FoundSheep2010 thank you for allowing me to remember it as well, all the best, Champion.
@@GillRant you're most certainly welcome. You nailed that list.
I believe it's about car sex, but with Maynard and Chino, it can be anything.
Car sex with Maynard and Chino.
I could DEF see Maynard unscrewing the gas cap and fucking a car
Yep
@@joehynes5452 underrated comment
@@biohazardousBiker 😳
It's just about car sex. Probably one of the most straightforward songs they have actually.
They keep almost getting it and then they don't. They mention being the passenger in the back seat, have their way with them. The song is "up and down". Take me to the edge.
IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE. 😂
They do this so much and it's so frustrating. I mean, enjoy the song how you can, but sometimes it's just obvious what the song is about.
Yupp , the misty windows part was the biggest clue I'd say. Anyone whose had sex in a car with the windows shut knows. Also how fuckin amazing it is to open a window and feel the breeze blown on your bodies.
put the bong down
@@GZP1023 Bong or not, that song is about sex in the car.
Hell YEAH! Deftones is different! Cant wait for digital bath!
Probably my favorite song of all time. Can’t beat two of the greatest in one.
Tori and Maynard also were amazing together
Mine too 🤘🏼
You get it
I’ve always loved Chino’s voice. He has the most peaceful and beautiful voice in rock music.
He's 2nd to Maynerd James Keenan... the GOAT.
i would argue chester’s cleans but chino very close 2nd imo. can’t go wrong with either tho
i heard this song live with maynard on stage with deftones at roskilde festival a long time ago. remember it like it was yesterday. it was super intence too see them both peform this song live
"I get baby making music", Deftones is like the dark jazz lounge music version of KISS. So many babies made to Deftones.
DEFTONES as the people say, the fine wine of music!
Yes indeed they just keep getting better
With Lex's interest in the spooky and vampires and such, viewers expectations are high for Halloween.
where are the goth reactions at?...lol
@@DHFHades yeah she gotta get some old 80s gothprom albums
YES! You did passenger! One of my absolute favorite songs of all time!! 🤘🤘
Deftones youve seen the butcher is a good one also. Something about their music does give off a sexy kinda vibe. The contrast of chino’s singing and the dark sounds of their tuned down instruments just very sexy
I second that, and maybe follow it up with sextape.
This song is literally about car sex. You guys should check out bender by SEVENDUST ft Chino from deftones
I have literally always thought and said this. I’m on a few deftones group pages on fb and literally no one ever agrees with me lol wtf
@@sammyr.1284 then those people are not real fans haha
The Sextones man
I don't really try to make sense of Deftones songs, I just consider Chinos vocals another instrument and let the music move me.
Yeeeeeaahhh! One the best metal songs with two of the best vocals on rock and roll
I've always heard this song is a dog's perspective of a car ride with its master... maybe not, but it's fun and works if you think of it that way. haha
I like it
Hahaha
As a dog yes I can confirm.
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Maynard and Chino in one song....can it get any better?
Type O Negative would also fall into that "Vampire Baby Making Music"
They have a very "Intimate" atmosphere and a "Seductive" vibe.
"Black No. 1"
"Bloody Kisses" and
"Christian Woman" would be some good songs to check out. You guys will dig their musicality as well as that atmosphere they create.
And "Love You to Death" - Hot 😉
Love You to Death 🔥🔥🔥
My Jeep is named Black No. 1 & is blacked out with lime green accents!!!!
I saw Typo Negative in concert when they opened for Pantera in 94 or 95 I forgot what year. I agree with the vampire baby making comment.
@@dla0620 I never got to see them but I did see Pantera twice in 96’ 🔥🔥🔥
I met type o negative when I was 15 years old and they kinda scared me as little. They were all like 6'4" or taller and had vangs
This song is so rad!

also 6:12 lolll
Nice
the absolute definition of addiction
Stockholm Syndrome
Lol Lex is so funny. Whenever he asks her what she thinks, whatever song it is, it's either making babies or drugs. 😂
Ha, in this case, she ain't far off lol
"vampire love making music" is so incredibly bang-on. Wow. That defines a lot of Deftones, actually.
I listened to this whole album on repeat on a 4 day bus ride from Quebec City to Edmonton AB in 2004. I’ll tell you this song hits different when you’re 3 days in with no sleep slipping in and out of consciousness at 3am on a bus in the middle of unknown land.
“Digital Bath” and “Have you seen the Butcher”. Both Deftones.
I've listened to Passenger at least 100 times...my fav Deftones song post Around the Fur album. I never thought of this as a baby making song until now. Good song
Movie Queen of the Damned is a MUST SEE, great music, and features the amazing singer Aaliyah (RIP🕊)
Ahh man, this song has been off my radar for quite a few years. This song was/is awesome. Hit the highway solo and crank this jam. Hell yea y’all, reactors putting me back in touch🤙
I love how the Deftones play with tempo in a lot of their pieces. It becomes a huge focal point to draw attention to certain lyrics. I know it is a tool that musicians do play with, but it's something Deftones use a lot
A “Tool” you say 👀
I totally just got the chills when Maynard started to sing his part. Vampire Baby making music all night long.
Deftones is my all time favorite band! Passenger is my favorite song! I saw them when I was a teenager at the White Pony tour. Incubus opened. Best concert ever!!

That's one my fave Deftones song.
Actually the whole Diamond Eyes album is amazing. It’s constantly in my rotation of favorite albums. Brad would probably dig ‘Sextape’ from that album along with ‘Digital Bath’ from White Pony.
You guys have been reacting to the absolute best of the best lately
See we are preparing you two for when your ready to start a family. This is the jams
I love this song! So glad to see your reaction to it!
Sevendust is right up there with Deftones in my opinion. I've seen both bands live and they are both amazing.
Agreed! Im a female, a smidge over 50 & Sevendust makes me want to jump smack dab in the middle of a mosh pit and knock around (now, I wont…. cuz I’m old and that shit hurts - but, still) the song ‘Black’ is one of my favs!!!
Deftones got a smooth sound it takes a bit to understand it
Ok I was like how did I not watch this one yet.
I swear you two got the vibes.
Such a classic song and collaboration. Chino and Maynard effortlessly trade verses. Then on the chorus, the song just explodes.
CouchGang listening to those Deftones. I love it! One of my favourite bands. Good enough to earn a grammy in 2001!
Ooooh… Deftones!!!
Peace to you, wish you all the best from germany ✌
YES I LOVE THIS SONG
its the male equivalent of darling nikki. a man being used for his energy because of what he is.
except hes willing because he doesnt want to be alone.
ive cried so many times listening to this song
Maynard/Chino duet. Fucking amazing song. 22 years later and still one of my top 5 favorite albums.
One of my favorite songs ever about being alone in a car at night with the one you love. Getting down n dirty n not giving a single f$&k who sees anything. All while not wanting the night to end and just keep going. That’s my take on it anyway and yea still one of my favorite songs ever!
Al fin!!!! Finally!!! Love that song!!! 😍😍😍
1 of the greatest songs ever recorded. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍
Sacramento's own... Deftones
hahaaaa the way I explain Deftones to people is "Sexy vampire music". Great catch.
change is actually in the bath scene in queen of the damned
Addiction.
You should do "back to school" by deftones aswell... u've come so far.
As far as vampire music, Deftones does have song on the queen of the damned soundtrack. Which was also coproduced by Jonathan Davis of Korn. The soundtrack is definitely a whole vibe.

Yup. Nailed it!
Love this band, and even to this day they are still putting out QUALITY music (even though most people don't realize they're still pumping out albums!)
Such a jam. I think it’s grow more on Lex the more she listens to it. The chorus is just so anthemic.
Yes it works. Heard deftones do this track live and it was amazing
I love that you said it's very up and down... That's the point haha
It's literally a song about f*cking in a car
Adrenaline was a great album. Every song was great.
definetly an underrated album.
Omg she always says vampire baby making music 🤣🤣... Looks like you got some role playing to get to partna!
Deftones my all time favorite band.
Definitely need to check out be quiet and drive (far away)
You guys have to know since you reacted to Change and Passenger, this album (White Pony) was meant to be listen while making love (said Chino) !! I would suggest Be Quiet And Drive for your next Desftones song. I'm not english speaker, sorry
It’s about late night car rides with his dad. He’s describing the inside of the car and what he remembers as a child.
11:20. Don’t know if you already know this. Maynard creates his lyrics around the music. Its always the instrumentation comes first, and then the lyrics get wrapped around.
One of my favorite deftones love songs is. FIREAL
One of my absolute fav Jams❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"This would totally be in a vampire love making scene...totally "
Hehe haha. I had the exact same thought when I first heard this track.....like a vampire in the back seat in an uber that's a hearse....queen of the damned 2002 vibes
Their best song in my opinion, so good!!
Deftones- knife party …plz it’s got a bridge with the most intense vocals. The first time I heard it , I got chills!!!
For sure about someone being kidnapped, but instead of being scared, they love it! Almost like a new begging is coming for the person being kidnapped! The thrill is addiction
" Alabama shakes" all live!
- always alright
- hold on
- dont wanna fight no more"
- gimme all your love
Yasss more deftones please 🙏🏾
This was the album where Deftones explored a new wave n yes drugs were involved, I love the baby making thinking was a kool plus, but it was you chillin wit your friend n the drug of choice kicked in, that scenario in words but it was an a word play of being sexual , as when you first make love n that feeling to come back again
Now this is baby making music lol
Heisengurg, she bopping the right way. Your girl wins this one
Let's be honest, this is a Maynard song and Chino & the Deftones are just the Passengers along for the ride
Passengers in the ride that is life.
Fun fact deftones have a song on a movie called queen of the damned during a vampire love making scene
The song is written from the perspective of a dog going for a car ride at night and not wanting it to end.
One of my favourite songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta check out more deftones y'all! Man this song... i don't even listen to it nowadays cuz of the imaginery. WHAT DA! havin sess in the car oh Lawd.. is this freaky tuesday?
The main hint to the song is "seats to cushion your knees."
It's a song about someone who really likes riding the bus.
Nice.
For Halloween, you should listen to Halloween from Helloween. It's my favorite Halloween song!
Another great song is Ayreon - The Day That the World Breaks Down. It has 11 singers and great lyrics and music.
One of the best albums to listen to is Operation Mindcrime from Queensryche. The whole album tells a story.
Bands usually say the lyrics are for us to decide, but I believe they're just keeping it a secret.
I’ve never bothered to check on this, but I always assumed this song was written as a sort of a sequel to The Chauffeur by Duran Duran, which Deftones do an awesome cover version of.
Y'all gotta do 'ROSEMARY' by Deftones SOON!
Guess you'll get a look into the Rolling Stones. Just heard Charlie Watts passed away.
rosemary Deftones is another great song by them
I like to find my own meaning in any song I listen to....for example, the "passenger" would refer to my own thoughts yelling at me, the driver.
I love how lex loves true blood and vampire shows
This song is about getting it on in the car 😄
I would like to see you two react to Pusifer Bullet Train to Iowa
Highly recommend you check out the song Knife Party from this album, white pony
They just wanted to work together and each just improved off of each other and made a badass song as a result,that is how much they are talented.they literally fucked around and found out.there is nothing deep about this song.
