Deftones

[demon talented]

I believe they had to do bands who were in something called "emocore," along with Far and some other bands.

Also, I tend not to get involved with emo-related music, so excuse any ignorance in the subject. I can only go from second hand info, considering.

I really like the Deftones, all three of their albums are good. White Pony had to grow on me a little bit but for the most part I like just about every track. They're a strange live band though, when I saw them the first time at Ozzfest 99 they were horrible, then I saw them on the opening night of their White Pony tour and they were excellent.

"Loveless" is a My Bloody Valentine album.

White pony is one of the most boring and pretencious releases ever. I bought it because many people who normally don't like nu-metal recomended to me. I should have listened to it before, it sucks

 

[DogVomit]

They're even more boring that Tool.

It's funny you mentioned the Deftones..In 2001 I read a review of the Wacken open Air and Opeth played..Deftones played hours before Opeth and were promptly booed off the stage as bands like Dark Funeral, Dimmu Borgir crushed them..Hails..-l-

haha hey no tool bashing...unless you want to be harrassed by the tool mutants in here...i am one. i like the deftones a lot, id say white pony isnt their best, adrenaline probably is. white pony rocks though...how can anyone hate knife party? that song is killer. i saw them live once, pretty tight.

I really like White Pony. I also have Around The Fur, and that album isn't nearly as good as White Pony... Don't care whether they're nu-metal or not, they definitely make good music. "Passenger" is one of my favourite songs ever - but that's probably due to Maynard's great vocal performance.

Why ask a Deftones question on an Opeth board?

 

[SentencedToBurn]

yea thats right.... why ask a deftones question on this close minded faget board? lol j/k. alot of people here are closed minded though i mean cmon. I thought we discussed MUSIC here. not just TR00000 technical metal!! open up your god damned minds people.

White Pony was the first metallish album I've ever bought, and I loved it. Today I no more listen to it very often cause I prefer more complex music, but it's still quite a good album. Definitely one of the best NM-Bands, as some people already mentioned, along with SOAD. But it doesn't interest me too much any more.

The Deftones = overrated pap IMO
They annoy the shite out of me.

 

[DEEK]
