Clarification

Hello Cowboys ‘n Cowgirls,

I’ve checked in on y'all again and want to clarify a couple of things. First, the blogs I post are simply statements from my own warped mind and in no way reflect the opinions or beliefs of the other band members. We will never be a political band that feels the need to shove our opinions down your throats. Our music is written because of our love of music and meant to be shared with the hope of everyone being able to enjoy it together regardless of any diversity. That said, I do have strong political beliefs and will on occasion rant because that’s what I feel this is all about. But, I promise never to incorporate that into Deftones. I appreciate your continual support and look forward to touring in front of you as soon as possible.

Thanx.

I think George Bush dresses like a street clown at night, and Laura bush dresses in drag attire and they have the weirdest sex imaginable, I'm talking Georgy boy ride a tricycle across the oval office desk, and laura gets tied down by security, and he makes her wear a prosthetic penis, and there's a security guard dressed like a my lil pony, and Perez Hilton is there so he can write a blog about it later to wack off to.
and the whole thing is really disgusting, no wonder the world hates the us.

peace love and deftones

You guys effin kick ass.
Favorite songs off the new album:
1) Kimdracula
2) Cherry Waves
3) Combat
4) Xerces
5) Mein

Fav. all time deftones songs:
1) Ihabia
2) Be Quiet and Drive
3) Pink Maggit
4) Change
5) Kimdracula
6) Anniversary of an uninteresting event
7) Fist

Your bass line in Cherry Waves in one of the best you've ever created.

I love how people hate on SNW. I don't understand it, and I laugh when people harp on the White Pony and how nothing ever matched it or ever will. F that.


Looking forward to the new stuff.
Can't believe its being talked about already.

Bush is an asshole. fuck em. I'm not in the states but you can see that he's a stupid non worth of being alive, even breath or even have a driver license, from miles and miles away hehe :_D seriously. Greetings from venezuela. Also: One of my firsts songs i've played with bass was Cherry waves, i wanted to play bass because of that song xD Much love to you and good vibes to all Mr. Cheng :-)

Janie said...

Chi,

just want to send best regards from Belgium,

buying your cd's and visiting your concerts since 1996 (saw you about nine times in Belgium and Holland) :-)

thanks for the music and the inspiration...

and greetings to the rest of the guys!

Gino, de Belgica

judeftoneuse said...

deftones is the best group of the world!!!!! all your album are exelent!!! it's my drug

a frenchwoman who you love

Riina said...

It's simply a right of every person to own a point of view ("opinions are like assholes - everyone's got one"), no need to justify that...
Being political shouldn't be a goal to anyone, music is all about feelings...and i'm feeling your music ;)

Daniel said...

Yes, yes I agree with you Chi.

I have one question though. Are you still going Cold Turkey with alcohol? Or did your mom win $5,000.
Take care man.

Stunt Girl said...

Wow!

Chi, post me please! Say hello! Please write something for me!!!!!

Luv u guys!

All the best!

Stunt Girl! ;)

I'm listenin to Moana right now! Fucking adorable song!

goatscape4 said...

Hey Chi, and rest of tones, not much of a blogger but must tell you how I feel. you and the band can Never make an album less than brilliant. Saturday Night Wrist is just as beautiful as all of the previous albums, I base some very happy times in my life on the release of your albums and the times spent absorbing the sounds. From one musician to another, I look up to you guys and so fucking look forward to the new piss and shit. Tough to decide, but favorite song is Knife Party. Hope you get to read this! This is Ian from near Philadelphia (electric factory!) peace

freak98 said...

Hello Chi, I would like to know that you think concerning nationalism and fascism, slogan the "World only for white",balds and other socialistic dung. Because I the Korean-Russian origin, I am a little pinned by this question. In all good!!!!!!!


p.s.: I beg pardon for my bad English, because I from Russia and for me bad mark on him!

Alex said...

First off I would like to say that you guys are the best band in the world. The second day in D.C was the best performance I have ever seen!!! That was my bro's first concert, and what a show to go to. Cant wait to hear your next album.. Keep doing what you guys do best!!!

P.S Really would like to hear Combat live.. best fucking song on Saturday Night Wrist.

Joe said...

I would like to say that my balls itch, and i think it's all chi's fault. Seriously guys i'm not kidding, they're all flaky and red from scratching. Chi! stop being so political and representing the whole band when you know it's just you, gosh.

Instinctive said...

You know, it really is wonderful for us as listeners, that elite musicians like yourselves say what we...Can't.. Necissarily say ourselves aha. Many of us,if not all would love your sounds regardless of your political opinions expressed through them, but thank you guys none the less for having the courteousy of not shoving it down our throats, yeah hahah. The music you make is beautiful. Bush...Ahmm. Personally I don't know the real deal with him, because in Canada we don't really feel the effects quite as much obviously. But the stories we hear are either horrors or sad silly hahah. Good luck with whatever goes down!

Bananaoracle said...

HAHA I WOULD TEND TO MAKE AGREEMENT!

Hayden said...

Hey dude... was just wondering when and if you guys are thinking about coming to New Zealand again? cheers.

Jorge Eduardo said...

guys i adore you thx a lot for coming to colombia i never thought ill had the chance to see you live your music is just the best, and thx for no making it political as you said chi

Michał said...

Thanks a LOT for not being a political band, cause there is and can be only one political band - RATM and i thank them too. They're an exception for me, cause normally i think in music there should be no room for politics. Just an opinion.

Peace out.
MiC

Raquel said...

i agree with what matt said. everyone who says that nothing will ever compare to white pony is ignorant. obviously there won't be anything comparable unless you guys decide to go backwards in terms of style. snw is a completely different style than the rest of the cds that you guys have come out with, and to tell you the truth, because of you guys, i've begun to like experimental/trip hop a lot more than i used to. deftones haas been my favorite band for several years now, and i don't think that'll change anytime soon... i have yet to find a band that compares to you guys. keep it up! i'm looking forward to the next album, especially if it's anything like snw. i've enjoyed seeing deftones evolve throughout the cds.

deftonesa said...

Hi guys!! I hope you all are well. I watched on tv the big fires in California. I watched all the families losing their houses and their lives... I hope all this will be repaired and come back the normality.
All my best desires for you!
See you soon in Spain!

Mitchell said...

I didn't know where else to contact you guys, but i think you should definitely be getting in on the Tribute to Failure album. You'd be a great addition.

I know you guys keep a low profile, but would nice if more advertising was put out on Deftones. Rap is killing rock. I like rap, but every damn radio station plays it, and the ones that don't play AC/DC and Metallica nonstop. Not that anything is wrong with them, but doesn't boost fan interest in rock. Rap promoters seem to know a lot more about the industry and how it works. Maybe sign with one of them? More deftones on radio! The drizzle demands it.

Taylor said...

I just read the recent blog entries. That one about Hinder cracks me up. I get pissed when these kids think bands who immitate Eddie Vetter's voice(Nickelback,Hinder, etc.) are talented. I have seen Deftones twice and regret not attending a deftones show for the 3rd time in ATL on May 25. You guys are great and I have supported any released work in the past. I can't wait to hear something new! Peace!

Mauricio said...

i wanna have beer with chi!

Pixie said...

Hey I design blogs and I would be honoured to do yours ( free of course)

Let me know if you are interested.

=)

Team-Sleep251 said...

Hey, when you guys gonna do a tour again, I live in boston and was on my way to the show at hampton beach, and sure enough I got fucking rear ended and had to deal with the cops, straight fucking my night up, By the time I was through dealing with those fucks the show was over, fuckin salted

yah I don't like Bush either (Ron Paul 08), but you don't see me making unconstructive, dumbass comments. Also, as some people have mentioned, SNW is a great album. Anyone that doesn't like it doesn't understand shit about the Deftones. Your sound has evolved, but at the same time stayed the same - fucking awesome. Thanks for updating this blog guys, it makes us feel like we are appreciated as fans!

Niki Yeoh said...

I hope you would consider touring Singapore next year. We need some shit stirring in this joint... so whatcha waiting for?

By the way, no matter whether Bush acknowledges Dalai Lama or not, he is still a kunt!

Stúni said...

haha nice blogg I agree with sum not with all and its awesome

btw love SNW its been almost a year now since it came out and it always reminds me of the winter time, and since i live in iceland, snow...and now its snowing and i love listening to it when its snowing dont know why

lotionaroundthefur said...

I heard deftones at 15 when adrenaline came out. changed my life. around the fur, stepped it up a notch. i'm not one of those "just scream all the time" guys but bring it up, the mid tempo songs from the first two albums were the best ones... but the lows accentuate the highs and vice versa. chino is up there with phil anselmo and cobain as far as vocals go... just don't let the dude play guitar. PRO-TOOLS IS RUINING MUSIC. WE WANT BANDS, NOT BRITNEY SPEARS WITH TATTOOS. you can all hate me if you want but anyone who got into deftones in the 90's didn't buy the last 2 albums...

Mark said...

All i got to say it thank you!

trompelemonde said...

Hi!
Thank you guys for your music.Music is a necessity for me to live,just like the air.And Deftones music gives me strengh when I need it or helps me escape this world when it's too dark,too ugly.
As for the evolution of your music,I think it's the reflection of your own evolution in life and I think it also shows you are hard working and putting yourself and your music into question which I think is very important in life.
Saw you once in France (in Lille) and hope to see you again with that new album which I love from the first to the last song!
Thank you Chi for being so close to your fans with that blog.
Rendez-vous à Lille!
Keep rocking on!

ttttyler said...

i love you deftones. but why must be so quick to pass out judgement on george bush. i mean i HATE politics and i don't vote, but u don't know him personally and that's pretty harsh to say to someone u don't even know.
please deftones, don't start writing songs about politics.
later

ttttyler said...

please come to arkansas and play a show. i've been listening to u guys since i was 12. i still haven't seen yaw live.

Herr Yllevante said...

awesome, cant wait for the new album.
Still havent seen Deftones live either :( Hopefully u guys will play in Sweden someday :D
