Bmr31 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Guys help me with this one. Im listening to their song "minerva". Its a GREAT song.

Chisoxfn Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Deftones have been around a while, but I don't think they are all that old. Could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM23 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 The Deftones have been around a while and are nothing but whiney hacks who, in general, suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so theyre not like from the late 80's, early 90's then? Their name just seems so familiar. "minerva" is a good song though, no matter what your overall opinion of them is..........

For those in the Chicagoland area, the DefTones are regulars on Q101 and goddamn..... is there some s***ty f***ing music played on that station. DefTones, on Q101, are heads and tails above most of the s*** played on that station. And Bmr..... "Minerva" is a good tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 cool i might have to look into them............. Just remember that the guy bad-mouthing them is the same guy that put songs by Justin Timberlake and JLo on his mid-year best of '03 list a few weeks back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM23 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Hey Double23, just interested in knowing where you learned they are egomanical. Because just about everytime I read/hear an interview with them they seem to believe that music wouldn't be the way it is today had it not been for the mighty, mighty Deftones.

I remember the lists too I like "Minerva" but have heard the rest of the album blows. I'll stick with Glassjaw and Poison the Well, thank you very much.

Capn12 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Cali, check out Closure...not sure what you are into, but its pretty solid rock. It doesnt hurt that my friend is the lead guitarist They are starting to get a good bit of airplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafacosta Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 I'm a big fan of the Deftones. I have 3 cds...the last one that has minerva i dont have it. But i will get one. Their first CD came in 1995 and it's called Adrenaline and IMO is the best one, 7 words rules. The second one is Around the Fur, and this CD has a music with Max Cavalera, Headup it's the name of the song, that music is sick. And the third one is White Pony, they have one song wiith TOOL. Deftones is my favourite band! I went to their show in Rio de Janeiro in 2001 in Rock in Rio. It was hell of a show. Deftones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 When I go to see Metallica on August 9, the Deftones is one of the bands I'm going to have to suffer through before I get to the promised land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiff Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 does anyone else find it ironic that doub hates the deftones cause they are "egomaniacal", but likes jennifer lopez, the epitome of egomania? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
