Interview with Chino Moreno (Deftones)

[@krisfrederick5001]

Thank you, Chino's daughter, for letting your Dad use the computer and speak with us. You guys certainly are special, you have been out for literally decades now, and still no one can copy your sound, even when they tried to throw you into the nu-metal band wagon.

[@m.o.1991]

@White People Rule The World I was thinking the same thing

[@tinyumrella]

Yes they are special. I love how they keep their signiture sound, throughout all their music it remains there.

[@yes2evan]

Lola letting her dad do an interview lmao

The interviewer asked a lot of good questions here and Chino is always a thoughtful and interesting guy to listen to. Great interview. I'm excited for Ohms.

[@j2production49]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@humbug4202]

MN is blessed with this radio interviewer. He also interviewed metallica back in 2016 i believe and woody was the first to hear "Hardwired"

[@Mike-yj5yw]

Been rolling with the Deftones ever since I heard “7 Words” on MTV in ‘95. Been a hell of a ride. Can’t wait to hear the new album.

Me too man. High School years! Now we are old ppl music lol

[@Mike-yj5yw]

@@carlossousa24 Comsidering the absolute garbage put out by Rock/Metal, Nu-Metal, etc bands today I’ll take that old music all day. Chino & the boys have been putting out music for freaking 25 yrs yet still sounds fresh & relevant. It’s really quite remarkable considering the state of “rock” today.

when he explained about how they don’t try to repeat what they do on past songs etc., they come more organically, that’s my favorite thing about deftones. every song is so unique to one another and for a fan of their sound it’s really rewarding to go through their whole catalogue and finding all these different worlds in each song. chino also being more a fan of instrumental music definitely utilizes his voice in a very instrumental way as well. i find it blends with the music very well and doesn’t tire you out. the band as a whole shines as one entity. amazing stuff and grateful to be a fan. so excited ohms is right around the corner!!! great interview by the way! asked a lot of cool questions. i’ve been watching plenty of deftones concert during quarantine too and getting really into them. started learning some riffs too. so far lhabia is a favorite to play :p

[@deftones420]

Nice! Ohms is fun to play

[@wicked_deftlady]

Deftones have been there for me most of my life, whether I’m depressed, happy, angry, and horny. My son who is on the autism spectrum also loves Deftones. Thanks for always being there through thick and thin. I appreciate you. ☮️🌈💫🌹

[@benfowler2127]

My own summer was the reason deftones is my favorite band. That’s cool to hear how it came to be.

[@louc3268]

I remember seeing Chino backstage at the 2003 Summer Sanitarium Tour in SF and he was on a golf cart with his kids. I screamed his name and he looked back and waved. I was 17 and so stoked.

[@jakeparker6610]

I first listened to these guys around the time of Gore's release, and fell in love with the band. Ohms is my first proper buildup to an album and I can't even tell you how hyped I am. Some great questions asked on here, Chino & Deftones are legendary! 🤘🏻

[@deftones420]

Woooooow,🤘🏽I remember when inwas waiting for white pony to come out and reading magazines leading up to the release. Right in brotha

i hope chino is happy all my homies love and wish the best for chino

[@toecutterjones]

Thank you, I've adored this amazingly talented man for about 22 years and now I've seen where some of the magic happens. Good day.

[@unanimousarts]

This was such a great interview which led to more intimate questions and answers I’ve always had for the band and Chino. A huge takeaway for me is that they don’t regard themselves as the best musicians and that there are some recognized painful moments in the form of live performances. However, this is trumped by the fact that the group remain best friends and, still to this day, can come together to create beautiful noise that always manages to catch my attention. Can’t wait to hear the new album! Pre-ordered the vinyl, CD, and cassette tapes. I love their music ever since I first heard Teething when it came out which prompted me to purchase Adrenaline and ATF.

[@ryanfarrell2184]

Can't wait for this album! End 2020 on a positive note.

[@eddiev8148]

Hey that MTV acoustic set with Adam Sandler and Deftones was pretty sweet! I think it was for the Little Nicky movie or something. Also Music in High Places was bad ass!

[@sharinglungs3226]

I was thinking about that as well when he mentioned the promo things they are asked to do. They looked so out of place but it’s far better than doing that boat show Limp Bizkit did.

[@eddiev8148]

Agreed, I love my Deftones music in high places DVD. I still remembered when it aired on MTV.

[@TheMicrodance]

May not be the best musicians in the world, but their sound is completely unique. Listened to Self Titled and SNW back to back last night and it occurred to me how no one else plays guitar like Caprenter , his style is inimitable. And obviously, Chino has a strong personal vocal style.

Great interview.. anything Chino or deftones in general is always interesting. I liked gore, aside from it sounding like it was produced in a garage.. lol.

The one thing about this pandemic I find interesting is a peek into their personal lives and homes. I didn’t even know he had a daughter and just the thought of him teaching his kid school work. It really grounds these people.

[@avedic]

Also....Chino's looking good! He always seems to change....I know weight issues have always been a thing. So it's nice to see him looking pretty healthy and fit. Good for him. :)

[@BloodnightStudios]

Clearly going back to basics with just chino, Stephen, and Abe was a fantastic idea! Gore wasn’t a “bad” album but it definitely felt disjointed like Chino said. It didn’t feel like the trio was all in sync.

ikr?!? The Ohms song left me feeling kinda iffy.

But then I heard Genesis.....and it totally hooked me. Excellent song!

[@BloodnightStudios]

Very interesting. I like ohms and I’m not sure if the album is named after the song or not. If it is, that might explain why, but I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was iffy on Ohms....but Genesis is insane. Love it! And then I noticed this interview. I'm so here for this.....
