A Song For Chi Cheng (Deftones) - Benefit

How does he not have his own money....I mean it sucks that he got in a wreck and shit but.....He needs fans to bail him out......Did Deftones not make a dime???? i find that hard to believe.........Why can't all these bands just chip in and i fucking know Fieldy has money $$ and help Chi out.

Why are they asking the same hard working people that buy there tshirts, albums, concert tickets, ect ect. to pay for this?? i find that fucking crazy.....Am i just insensitive or what?


Oh yeah and the song is horrible sounding......horrible idea.....they should have all got together in one studio and tried to make it sound seamless .....instead of just a bunch of clips ram together

yes but if he in fact has been in a coma for a year, that is a HELL of a lot of money for the family to keep him on life support and in the hospital to pay for such care. I mean the deftones were successful, but not THAT successful where they can pay for this no problem. And you really cant expect fellow band friends to just throw money at his family and for everything to be alright. Im sure they have done all they can, and this song is to help pay for the insurance and the bills , etc.
 
Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst who said: "CHI is a GOD. CHI has touched my heart as an artist and as a human being. He has been put on earth to shed light on all darkness. I love CHI. Fact. He is a major contribution to mankind. My heart aches for him, his family, his friends, and his fans. CHI for life."

.. i don't understand? all these famous nu-metal bands are in on this project.. but none of them have helped pay for his bills? i mean nu-metal was HUGE, surely they would of helped him out..if he meant that much to them??

also, about him waking up was a rumor..apparently. check his wiki page:

and not to come across as a complete twat already.. this sound sounds bloody awful. just sounds like aload of riffs slapped together with st.anger snare. eurghhhh

oh... I thought he was ok. well, that sucks. I like deftones. white pony is amazing and their live performance is very cool. If a friend of mine was in that state, and I was a rockstar, I would immediately sell all my expensive cars and put all the fancy gear that I got on ebay for half of the price. It would totally cover the $100.000 he needs.
 
Song is absolute and total shit, really don't like this "ask the fans for even more" type mentality when everyone in the video interviewed has had more than enough success to help their 'buddy' out.

Totally agree dude......It's very scammish and tasteless if you ask me......plus the way the economy is and to ask your fans for even more...i dunno

I would say Chino is sitting quite well

It's also crazy in that video where Head from Korn said something like Chi has given everything to you(fans) now it's time for you to give back......please Chi would be living in a hut somewhere if it wasn't for those people giving every album, every tour. .....That's what bands are a Charity basically atleast it seemed like it when I was in one...lol
 
I agree the track seems hastily put together, and disorganized, but it's still interesting... especially Adam D's contribution.

Anyway, as far as the band members, money, etc. - how do you guys know they haven't already chipped in? They're trying to help Chi's family pay the massive medical bills, and one of the easiest ways is to get lots of people to chip in a little bit of money. Nothing wrong with "crowdsourcing."

The average price for staying in an ICU is $7000 USD per day, guys!

If you guys are so impassioned about rallying against this, then make sure you all assign a durable power of attorney, in case you might end up in a situation like Chi Cheng, a loved one can at least have the ability to say "enough is enough" and pull the plug. Terrible decision to have to make, but it's important to consider these things.
