Chino Moreno Talks Deftones' Creative Process, Why "Conflict Is Great"

[@croulantroulant3082]

Humble dude. His voice is just as important to the Deftones' sound IMO.......

[@rqneo5361]

Honestly every member is so vital

[@bourbonzcaches8493]

it is the deftones

[@johnme4443]

one difference between Kiss and DEFTONES is you dont have to search for a good song on any DEFTONES record!!

[@immortallix]

You also don't have to worry about Chino wanting to sue you into poverty because you pirated an album some time

[@HEADASSLOOKINGAHHH]

@@immortallix lmao truuuue dude

[@RaydinAE11]

Chino said he wasn't into Saturday night wrist. I fucking love that album.

[@MrBrettaxe]

Our worst records? Deftones have never made a bad record in my opinion

[@brettcook1937]

AcidRain I was about to make the exact same comment. Every single one of their songs is amazing except maybe some of the stuff on (like) Linus and Pink Cellphone

[@Rodrigombia1990]

Adrenaline is kinda mediocre compared to what they did afterwards.

[@renapeppers20]

@quartzlcc Weird cause I think it's one of their best ever.

[@jayyavid5363]

@quartzlcc he never said that, articles just word it that way; he said the album wasnt made as well as others. Fans who dislike that album for whatever reason try to change Chinos words. and i agree Adrenaline although good, would be the `worst` of the albums

[@TheBDQJP]

@@jayyavid5363 “It was fucking horrible. To me it was horrible. You know why I don’t like that record? I didn’t believe in myself. I was put with three or four different writers [the band’s label and management at the time] made me believe I couldn’t wring a song anymore. My real problem was I had a drug problem and I probably just needed help for that. But it got so much bigger, because instead of just getting over that, they made me believe I couldn’t make music any more. And I believed that! That record is so unconfident, that’s why I hate it. I don’t feel like it’s me-it’s this unconfident version of myself that doesn’t know what he’s doing or even believe in himself. It was horrible. It was the worst time in my life.”

[@Sociobid]

I love the fact that even though the band members bicker and have a lot of conflict, they’re one of the few to have maintained their original line-up from their first record (aside from Chi’s untimely death.) They’re able to put their personal differences aside and continue to make great music, which is a very rare and special quality in a band.

[@iGotSpaceLikeNASA]

Chino seems to be in a good place.

[@noahdunston9630]

This makes me think the next deftones album will be amazing

[@xXAaron102Xx]

Noah Dunston can you tell me what the song at the start is please

[@noahdunston9630]

Aaron 102 it’s the song gore. Off the gore album

[@xXAaron102Xx]

Noah Dunston thanks you

[@Campy_Camel]

Ohms is a pretty good start

[@aaronkelley8886]

Looks like you were right 🙏

[@idknicolette]

the fact that he wants everyone involved in the creation process to figure out ways to highlight their talents in addition to his speaks a lot on how amazing this band truly is inside and out

[@caryballard7857]

Good to hear that Stephen will do more writing on the next one.

[@metalheadblues]

Thank God. Put that fucking 9 string to good use.

[@AngirasDarbha]

They've been saying that a lot for years now. Last 3 or 4 have kinda sounded the same.

Hopefully he doesn't go too heavy.

[@josephmorales652]

Everyone in deftone seems so chill as fuck.

[@franlovelsimic8421]

No matter how much I love really extreme shit, Deftones will always be among my all time favorite bands!

Best band!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deftones!!!!!

Glad to hear steph is going to be more engaged in the next project!!! I Love my Deftones man!!!

[@jreamlucido]

I have nothing but love for, Chino Moreno. 💫⭐✨🌟

[@kabirbarry8142]

Hi, I'm from the future and Deftones nailed it with Ohms. Can definitely tell that Stephen had more influence.

[@Mike4891w]

Deftones and meshuggah. If I was stranded on an island with only two bands entire discography, it would be those 2 bands.

[@MrBelmontcain]

Love them. One of a few bands in history that is wholly unique.

[@bobasquid3339]

Folks! Don't get the message mixed up! He means, conflict is good within a constructive, creative process. Not, go out and start shit with friends, family or random strangers. Keep the message within context.. Dummies.

[@kaydgaming]

[@M8NR8E]

Duuuude i agree. A deftones headbang always starts with a sick riff from steph. This sounds like a GREAT PLAN. Cant wait to see what they come up with this time!

[@faceless_grl2909]

Will always be my favorite band! Can't wait to see you again this year! 💕

[@demisemedia]

I've had the honor of hanging out with this dude after a Crosses show in San Fran March 2014. I played some guitar🎸and he sang some lyrics🎶at the top of his head! My goal in life before i freakin' die is to create at least ONE full length song with this man! I'm in a band called Scala and Bend, Oregon is our 2nd home. So i'm getting close!🙏🏽

[@AgainstTheYear]

Demise Media Dude! That’s awesome! I just listened to some of your music up on KZbin, you should put it up on Spotify! You guys have hella potential, get found!

[@logistics29]

RIP Chi

[@ishoa5018]

I just love with the deftones always walks in through the waves of music and still keep the tones into the sounds that we always feel in our fingertips and lift the horns in the air and say hell yeah!!!

[@lfcizdabest]

Chino's a very talented guy but what I most appreciate about him is his pure love for music. What he says about KISS stands out - you don't have to make a decision on a band/artist as to whether you like or dislike them. Music's to be enjoyed and if you're prepared to do the work instead of just hearing a couple of songs and making your mind up then it's a lot more rewarding.

[@hvyhrt9821]

Stoked for where the next release goes. Didn't vibe with Gore as much as any of their other releases and the lack of Stephen's riffage was definitely felt. So cool to hear Chino discuss that. You can feel the love he has for his band.

[@jagdeepkaul1261]

I'd love to see Chino rank his own Deftones albums.

[@RyanKSDrac]

YES! YES! YES! A thousand times, you hit the nail on the head Chino. Steph didn't do writing in Gore and it lacked that Deftones heaviness that is on every record. Gore is my least favorite and I have my degree in Deftonesology, listening to them since 1996 and seeing them live 5 times. Gore lacked a lot of things, was a very talented record, but it fell short of what is Deftones. Chino going to stay with Steph in L.A. and having him write and be involved is the smartest thing to do. Also Probably a new producer. Maybe Terry Date needs to be summoned.

[@whups1744]

I've been listening since 98 and seeing them live since 99 and I think everything since Saturday Night Wrist has pretty much sounded the same. It's like they've hit a comfort zone. That's just my opinion. The first 4 albums were each drastically different. Now things kinda blur together without a distinct flavor that was once there between each record.

[@TheShmrsh]

@@whups1744 i dont know why you need to experiment in New fields and have risk to spoil everything if you've succeeded in your own field and can deliever same but a bit different stuff each time. I mean snw was perfect and next was perfect and so on, i dont want another different deftones. Btw you can have this experience of imagine how they would sound in other directions while listening their cover. And it'll be funny if they make real different album this year ,😃

[@skinni_the_P00hBear]

[@stevehamilton5430]

So much good memories, when I listen to their music

[@callmewaves1160]

Thanks for sharing this 💜

[@zefferychavez]

It's what I love about Band Music and being a musician. When you meet other bandmates that are kindred in spirit, share the same vision, they're wicked talented and unique in how they play, there is no greater feeling than being in unity and harmony and the love that you share with eachother through music and spiritual energy. You become a family. Couple that with the ability to push yourself and your skills as a musician and try the things that scare you or your afraid to make a mistake doing, you then assend to the next plateau and become stronger as a musician individually and as a collective unit... Deftones have always been great, they're literally their own genre, I never liked how they were labeled NüMetal in the early 00's even though I love alot of bands from that genre and day. Robert Plant said it best: "I don't like the term Metal or Heavy Metal because it implies that we are trying to be something or appeal to something or sell ourselves as something and we're not about one singular style or genre we appreciate and enjoy many different styles and genres of music." And thats why there's only one Led Zeppelin and one Deftones. 🥁Z🥁 🌹💀🌹

[@ericportillo8277]

One of our best singers

[@arendy1983]

I love this band.

[@MisanthropicTimeSlipperz]

Ohms is actually my favorite album by them. Every song kicks ass!

[@Lowkey_ChokeKing]

What Chino said about Kiss is exactly how I got into Deftones in the first place. Couple songs I dug, others not so much then a couple songs became albums and now im seeing them when they come to Australia next year.

[@tcb9775]

Happy for you guys 👊

I love Buddy Hackett's comedy but him fronting the greatest band alive is his crowning achievement. God bless you Buddy "Chino Moreno" Hackett!

[@BetaBreaking]

#releaseeros Besides the meme. We seriously need the finished tracks from Eros. The song Dallas and Smile sound phenomenal.

[@adamedwards3737]

It's kind of funny that Chino says he just heard Black Diamond that morning and loves it, because the closing section of Gore (the song playing in the intro) is very similar to the closing section of Black Diamond. I too just just heard that song for the first time this morning and was convinced Deftones were inspired by Kiss but I guess not. Though that is probably the reason why Chino loves the song so much.

[@edilarteaga8215]

I just got into black diamond too haha. Never liked kiss either.

[@neon_one]

white pony was their most successful record? i would think that's more about chance events and decisions made by their producers more than an indication of being their best work. My personal fav album is saturday night wrist.

[@LondonConfidential]

Chance events yes and normally decisions by a producer also but in this case Terry Date (producer) wasn't totally down with the soft Deftones stuff.. that was all the band. It is well documented.

[@theweirdbritishguy5035]

Which deftones song is used in the intro?

[@brianjames6349]

I know that Stephen is a pillar of Deftones beginnings, and Stephen named the band...but as far as lyricism goes I think they should let Chino work his magic unadulterated. ..Unless he wants the help. Not saying I didn't like Gore... But it didn't feel like Chino.

[@mynameisnotbob6369]

[@Hexagram96]

I thought Gore sounded the way it did because Chino wanted less guitar on the record. Now they're saying they need more on the next one??
