mattisr1984 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 havent seen deftones in prob 8 yrs. saw them when glassjaw opened and then right around when s/t was released and they played a bunch shows that pretty much sprung up out of nowhere in real small venues on the west coast - no openers or anything.

nothingnatural Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 nothingnatural and I are competing. i think he's already at 25. Honestly, I don't even know how many times I've seen em. All those old cattle club shows usually didn't have tickets so I don't have stubs from all the small shows. I am going to say I've seen em between 25-30 times in Sacramento, San Francisco and surrounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 i've seen them in CA (Petaluma, Hollywood), AZ (Mesa, Glendale), MN (Minneapolis, St. Paul), WI (Somerset, Madison). i'm either at 24 or 25, going on whatever after next Thursday.

mcpherson123 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Goddamn, I've seen them like 5 times and I'm definitely the biggest Deftones fan I know in real life. I would have seen them more but I was too young to go to shows when they first broke out. First time I saw them was in 2003. I really wish I had gone out of my way to see them in the WP era. I've seen Summer Sanitarium 2003, Fall Tour 2003, Fall 2004, Spring 2010.....feels like there's another one I'm missing... And now I have a wedding when they're here on April 30th. Gonna bust my ass to try and do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 i once saw them for free in a McDonald's parking lot. beat that i've actually missed a few Deftones shows. one i didn't want to see them open for Metallica, another was Godsmack, one was a show at 7th Street Entry, another opening for Ozzy/Korn. argh. could be further up!

mcpherson123 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I can't even come close to beating your attendance. Ha. The only reason I went to Summer Sanitarium is because my friend's brother worked for Interscope and got free tickets for us. I only missed the first song (which was "Headup") but I could hear it echoing in the distance as I approached the stage. Confirmed with other people later that it was the first song they played. If I were a multi-millionaire I'd follow them around on tour all the time. But while we're fantasizing about having boat-loads of money, I'd also be commissioning the quintessential S/T vinyl package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafmx Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Oh, McPherson you should totally get the 7" with teething, it's awesome and sounds amazing. It's a different version of teething though that you would normally hear, like the demo version with different lyrics and slightly different riffs. um, yeah. i've had this on a tape and never realized the 7" was this version. i just ripped it up. it's an old 7", sorry for the light crackling. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F6BO7CMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 That's awesome of you to rip and upload it. I found a different version on youtube though and that's probably the same one as this. I'll download when I get home. I prefer the Crow II version to the different one I heard last night though. Actually just scored a Hexagram 7" last night around the time we were posting about this. Pretty excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but its two of my absolute FAVORITE Deftones tracks overall AND its at 45 RPM!!! Plus the cover is fucking beautiful! Win/Win/Win. There hasn't been this much win since Charlie Sheen was born of Zeus and cast in gold for the world to adore! I scored the Minerva 7" a few weeks ago. Shit was mint! $14. Thank you, eBay. I PM'd you something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 SNW is pretty good but probably my least favorite deftones release. beware is one of their best songs though. Really? I can respect opinions that differ from my own, but I really don't feel as if there's a single bad or forgettable track on that album. It took me a while to get into, but there's some magical about its dark atmosphere. I don't think I could pick a "weakest" Deftones release - since I love each album for separate and distinct reasons - but if I absolutely had to rank their discography, SNW would be nowhere near the bottom. I never understood why more people couldn't dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I actually feel like there are 1 or 2 tracks that are definitely more forgettable only relative the greatness of the rest of the Deftones catalog. "Mein" and "Xerxes" are a little bit "meh" to me but there are so many amazing tracks on the album that it more than makes up for it.

haze Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I've noticed a few vinyl releases lately from them, more vinyl for me to pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 yeah, Mein was crap. Serj didn't even record his vocal part with the band around. hell, Chino didn't record vocals with the band either. he did them with Shaun Lopez separately. it's a very divided record as far as band effort.

pablod85 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I like every Deftones album and I've been a fan since White Pony came out. My list from my favorite one to the least favorite would be: 1. White Pony 2. Diamond Eyes 3. Adrenaline 4. Around The Fur 5. Deftones 6. Saturday Night Wrist I feel like they really are in one of their best musical moments now. Hopefully the next album will be as good as DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 yeah SNW never really felt like a band effort. pink cellphone is also possibly the only pointless/bad deftones song. for me 1 white pony 2 diamond eyes 3 around the fur 4 s/t 5 adrenaline 6 snw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot all about that show in McD's parking lot....that was quite some time ago, 12 years ago, give or take? Was that at the one in Dinky Town....I lived in MN then, and was at that show to.
