Not only does he have a great stage presence, he's funny as hell! When I saw them, it was back probably in 97 when they were promoting "Around the Fur". Chino had stage dived, and someone stole his shoe. When the song was over, Chino went back up onstage and asked whoever stole his shoe to please give it back. He made this huge deal about it, and then said "I may be rich and all but I still have to buy my own shoes!" I don't know why, but I thought it was hilarious. I've heard Spineshank before, just didn't know the singer's name. Are they even still around? Personally, my favorite Deftones album is "Adrenaline." I still love the song "Engine No. 9"
i like all of their albums, but i gotta say i prefer Around The Fur and White Pony over Adrenaline. that show sounds awesome, last time i saw them the show was delayed for almost half an hour.
I'm not embarassed, so how can I embarass myself further? I can't stand Deftones, and Chili Peppers are way past their prime.
This is damn message board, and I see no way for anybody to embarass themselves on here. Unless, of course, they try to argue about something and can't back up their argument with fact. But that's not the case here.

excuse me, you just said Chino and Kiedis can suck your ass, for absolutely no reason. you werent backing up your 'argument' (if you can call it that) with facts.
and now you've just stated two opinions. you dont like Deftones, fine. there are plenty of people who dont, doesnt mean you make stupid comments like you did up the top. also, you may not like them as a band, but if you cant acknowledge the lead singer's obvious talent, at least give a real reason why you dislike him. secondly, Chili Peppers are past their prime you say? we werent even discussing that but oh well. my answer to that is possibly. there last record was the Greatest Hits, so we obviously cant judge it against their other albums, but their last single was poor. their last album was excellent. very different from their older material, more melodic and less funk rocky. past their prime, maybe, but even if they are, no one will give a damn, because they will always remain one of the greatest bands to grace god's green earth, and that fu'cking dumb 'Kiedis can suck my ass' comment is just made dumber by the fact you haven't even given a worthy criticism.
i see your a new member, im not holding that against you or anything, and yes your right this is a public forum, but i for one am not going to stand by and let some n00b shit on my idols, and then tell me that im wrong to defend them. you'ved forced me to ruin what was an otherwise good thread. feel proud.
F*ck your idols. I don't give a shit who you idolize. I can respect them, but that doesn't mean I have to like them. I can't stand the Deftones because I just don't like their music. I used to like the Chili Peppers, back when they had Dave Navarro the 1st time and were great. I thought Californication was a great album, and the only thing I heard off the other album was "By the Way" and I didn't really like that song. I respect Keidis, but I think he should give it up already.
And so you know...I'm not a new member. Somebody found out my password for my previous name and I was forced to create a new screen name.
And "Suck my ass" is a figure of speech, not unlike "those guys suck", and in essence, it means virtually the same thing. I'm not shitting on your idols, I just don't like them. Just like you probably wouldn't like the people I idolize. I didn't force you to ruin anything, you ruined it by saying that I should be embarased, when in fact, I couldn't be any further from that. I simply stated my opinion. I was not arguing with you for the bands that you like, because I really have no right to do that.
Jesus man you just dont get it. as i said before, i dont care if you dont like them, you were just treating me and my opinions with no respect. how can you say 'f'uck your idols, i dont give it a shit who you idolise'? that is probably the most disrespectful thing anyone has ever said to me on KMC. the whole point of this forum is so people can share their tastes with others and they can share with you. if your not interested in that, then forget it you may as well leave now.
i know your gonna post back saying how wrong everything i just said is, but so far thats the impression you've given me. this is a music discussion forum. if you disagree with someone, you dont trash them, you keep an open mind, give reasons why you disagree, accept that you maybe wrong.
and dont write me off, i have a much wider musical taste than you may think. theres a good chance i will like the people you idolize.

See, I could never really get into White Pony. In my opinion, it just strayed way too far from what they used to sound like and it kind of bored me. There really wasn't one song on that album that I could get into.
Nettlehead, I did nothing to disrespect your idols. I even told you that I respect who you idolize, I just don't like them. I sure as hell didn't trash them.
Nobody is wrong, no matter what their opinion is...you said I should accept that I am wrong at times, but at a place like this...nobody is wrong.
I am almost positive you wouldn't like my idols. I'm pretty sure you posted on the New Found Glory board and said you didn't like them. Cyrus Bolooki, in my opinion, in one of the greatest drummers ever, and certainly one of the best I've ever heard. He would be one of my idols, as would be Travis Barker, the drummer from Blink-182.

yeah thats what alot of people say. its no where near as heavy as their previous work. i didnt like it at first, and unlike Adrenaline and Around The Fur, it took me a while to get into, but it reminded me of Glassjaw, who i love. it cant touch Around The Fur, but it has 3 classic Deftones tracks on it, and there isnt a single bad track (like Around The Fur). but i dont know...i like all their albums (except their latest one) so much. i can definitely see why alot of old school Deftones fans like yourself didnt like it though. it can be a bit repetive in places.
