radiatorhums Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Do you remember which one? Bootleg? And yes I agree, great album! I doubt it's a bootleg, since it's so so readily available. It could be that some black wax was leftover when they were pressing that one and it ended up making it more of a grey. I have a handful of records that have black streaks in them due to this (at least to my understanding). Either way, I dig the grey. cephalic666 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My white diamond eyes actually has a few black marks left on it haha, really small though, even if his was defective enough that it turned out grey it's still pretty badass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomcreep Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I got the grey as well, on eBay, and mine also had the "White" sticker. Can't find anything about this anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gippej Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Such a great album. I enjoy every deftones album, but I think this might be my favorite (white pony and koi are up there as well). Was just such a landmark release the year it came out, I had it playing constantly. Klefki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 SNW was the album that got me into the band, but I love Diamond Eyes. Listen to it the most. "You've Seen the Butcher" is so good, same with "Sextape". Not to mention "Diamond Eyes". *ahem* hence my profile pic *ahem* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xstrongmindsx Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I have a pink marble-ish of it. Bought brand new at Amoeba in LA. I can't seem to find anyone else ever mentioning this color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Anyone else given up on Live 2? I don't think it'll ever see the light of day at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Anyone else given up on Live 2? I don't think it'll ever see the light of day at this point. If it doesn't happen this year, I'm giving up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Also, I'd love to hear some more of Eros.... Someday .... Thiiiiiis. "Smile" is great. I don't think I ever hear Chino sing that high. I wish they can release it. I'm not sure if they have most of it finished or if they're rough demos. Idk. I'd be happy to hear anything. Also hoping that the new album will be released this year. Jonesing for new Deftones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they're in the studio (or writing). I know I've read something about it in the last 2-3 months, but I can't remember the specifics.

topher Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Psyched for anything new from Deftones. It's probably not a popular opinion, but I really think a lot of their best music has come out of this post-Chi period. Not to say that Chi wasn't an amazing bassist/person in general, but man, 2010-onward, these guys have just been on the ball musically.

White Pony and Saturday Night Wrist were fantastic too, but yes the last few years have been on point. Perhaps it has something to do with Chino being active in Deftones, Palms, Crosses, and more recently Team Sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, the band's sound has evolved so much from then, it's not really fair to compare them. Chino's side projects have been ace. I seem to be one of a few people around here who are really hardcore into Palms. That debut record has Chino's best vocals to date. Period. Anyone who says otherwise has not heard "Mission Sunset".

Yes to all this. I can truly appreciate White Pony, but I feel it's not their absolute best. And Palms is my favorite out of his side projects. I've talked to many fans and they disagree and hate Palms, which I really don't...understand. topher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 What are everyone's thoughts on the self titled album from 2003 Eh, honestly, it's my second-to-least favorite. It doesn't have the tunes like Pony had, and doesn't have the dynamic hard/soft stuff that they ended up exploiting fully on SNW, which would have been a much better follow-up to WP. My list ends up looking like: White Pony (Only just.) Koi No Yokan (Interchangeable) Diamond Eyes (Interchangeable) Saturday Night Wrist Around The Fur Deftones Adrenaline Can we just rename this thread Deftalk and move to Everything Else? This is fun.

HybridxReality Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I can enjoy 'Deftones' (being a fan boy), but I don't play it often. It has some of my favorite songs on it (Battle-axe being my favorite), but there's something about the songs that I do love, but rarely have the desire to listen to. My list would be: Diamond Eyes Koi no Yokan Saturday Night Wrist White Pony Deftones (interchangeable) Around the Fur (interchangeable) Adrenaline Almost looks like how they were released. lol.
