Deftones!!!!!!!!!

lol.. white pony is awesome !

i lied around the fur the best

possibly the best band around at the moment. love em. White Pony was an amazing album, fave songs Digital Bath, Passenger and Change. Chino is one of the only vocalists who can match Maynard.

deftones are awesome. i keep trying to see them in concert.. hopefully they'll return to xfest like a couple years ago when they were there. i wanna see em in concert

Maynard ... the only person who can be compared to him is Chino

umm i dont know.they both do greta vocals..werid,complex..but maynard is much better then chino..still chino is great..gets annoying sometimes

i agree hes better, Maynard definitely has a greater range, but hes not that much better

both original

There are singers far better then both Maynard & Chino (vocally) for instance Muse's Matthew Bellamy, Audioslave & Soundgarden's Chris Corneill, Red Hot Chilli Peppers Anthony Kieldis, U2's Bono & Zwan & Smashing Pumpkin's Billy Corgan...to name but a few.

Maynard is better than Kieldis.

Kieldis is one of those singers that has a rare ablity to emote the listeiners and is one of the reasons that the Chilli's have lasted so long and that they can be claimed as being a 'super group' unlike Tool or the Deftones.

dont get me wrong i love RHCP i was brought up with them, and i respect Anthony Kieldis he is an amazing vocalist, but i think Maynard is slightly better. just because Tool dont have the universal appeal to be a 'super group' doesnt make them a lesser band.

I respect your opinion, it's just after hearing both Chico and Maynard sing i wasn't drawn in as other singers have done in the past.

i can see why. they're an acquired taste.

I've given both artists fair chances (i.e. Deftones - Back To School is being played to death over here) and i listein to Chico and go is that it ???

well im not going to try and dissuade you. to me, Chino is one of the most unique, effective and emotional vocalists in the world. to you, hes nothing special. it really all comes down to opinions, but id still like to know just what it is you find lacking in Chino's vocals?

I just find nothing distinctive in it, to me its dull and lifeless rap/rock combo that so many bands are try to duplicate, where as Maiden's Dickinson has that 'Old English Quality' and Muse's Bellamy has that angelic, choirboy set of vocals...now there voices.

rap? Chino does not rap! why does everyone think Deftones/Korn etc rap? Chino's vocals are all about long, wavering notes, not rapping.

Back To School certainly has reminiscences of rap in it.

yes but you could hardly call it rap metal. like i said a vocalist with Chino's talent doesnt really need to express himself by rapping.
