Stef, what you did, coming back to play Damone, I can't even express how happy that made so many of us. Thank you!

[@yasserjamilq8]

I was laughing when I saw the song length. This man is a fucking legend

[@Chedda_chz]

The studio album track was that long for MX. know your Deftones. Thats why its this long.Damone is a hidden track. 👍🏻

[@Streel83]

The mad man actually did it. Damone is probably my favorite bonus/hidden track ever. Thanks Stef

[@sleepassist5745]

I'm kinda partial to Fist off the first album, it was the first song I learned how to play on guitar too. Though, Damone is my second favorite song off ATF right next to BQAD.

[@icebough4191]

Best bonus track in any album of all time

[@educatedmonkey2066]

That is something that I absolutely miss with the digital age of music: the hidden track! It was like a little treasure or present at the end of an album

[@stolenhal0]

@CYB3R2K30 still not the same, but at least they try.

[@Paul-dw2cl]

Anyone remember this one: “I think you guys should try heavy metal! Kiss my ass! Ahahaha”

[@tentinquarantino876]

@CYB3R2K30 I bought ATF in the Netherlands, and it has the hidden track with 37-minutes long MX, so I consider myself lucky 😁

[@naywahn]

I first experienced a hidden track with KoRn's Follow The Leader (Earache My Eye), since I would always search for one...

[@alejandrogonirovirosa3214]

Does it include Damone as well after bong hit and nearly 20 mins of no sound? UPDATE: YES IT DOES!! WHAT A LEGEND!!

[@Stu_DLNGR]

This album and Adrenaline played an integral part of my life circa 14-15 years old. Still, to this day, about to turn 42, Deftones are a daily. RIP Chi.

[@HeffewiezenDudeGuy]

Man do I miss Chi's smooth bass lines and backup vocals

[@Jason-hl2wy]

Good stuff man, when i was 15-16 i came across Deftones and for whatever reason it didn't hit with me . But now that I'm 24 , literally everything they've done hits me now. Probably my favorite band ever now

[@hebertoespicova]

A friend in highschool toldme about Deftones and didnt care, but the day after he gave me a mixtape with Adrenaline and Around the Fur and now almost 25 years after Deftones is my top 1

[@Stu_DLNGR]

❤ y'all

[@Stu_DLNGR]

@@HeffewiezenDudeGuy I played bass from 14y.o. til 34y.o. and Chi was one of the first dudes I studied. The Adrenaline album was a huge lesson for me! Then ATF with my drummer buddy. Chi was amazing!

Il fallait attendre un peu, Damone a été joué plus tard...

[@rorylee9626]

could you not guess from the 30 minute video hahah

[@cloneboy42]

@@rorylee9626 When the original video first premiered, there was no indication as to how long it would be. Stef coming back to play Damone was a welcome surprise

[@epblu]

I have to admit that after several listens to this record, I had a self edited version of this song that had the bong hit transition directly into Damone just so that I would hear it more often without having to skip around the silence. But seeing Steph do the full thing is just incredibly cool for the fans man, you love to see it.

[@Martyner19]

When I bought Around the fur I could not stopped listening to it, I fell asleep with my headphones on... Well when Daemone started I woke up and I could not believe what I was hearing. What a joyful surprise it was to found one of the most amazing hidden tracks in the history of humanity. Thanks Stephen, thanks Deftones.

[@stolenhal0]

I also used to listen to ATF non stop and even falling asleep to it as well.

[@hisparussky]

I read your breif story and I want to cry.. kinda similar with me. Thank God for Deftones. Thank God we lived that.

[@cy7571]

Deftones was always one of those bands that takes a few listens before people start to “get it”. This band got me through some tough times and will always be my favorite. RIP Chi.

[@BoaeCH]

As soon as I saw the lenght of the video I knew it ! Steph is a beast !

[@TheBlargblargy]

I'm most looking forward to Steph playing this track, the bong hit and DEFINITELY FECKING DAMONE! As much as mx is a brilliant closer, damone is the reprisal that really makes this album so damn brilliant. Musically I think it signposts to the white pony sound, whilst simultaneously back slapping their previous output. A truly underrated, musically and lyrically astute, piece of metal that you won't find anywhere else.

[@horaciogonzalez287]

Amen

[@codyclark4616]

[@TheNightdiver]

brilliantly put!

[@goatofdeparture]

I love how you did the full length. First time I discovered this song I was high as hell and thought the tape ended. Then I heard the bong bubbling and when it was still on the track I was like wtf? Once Damone began playing; mental orgasm

[@JohnBeckleyArt]

That’s was AWESOME!!!! Thank you

[@IceKoldKilla]

🤯 You literally brought back that feeling of listening to the CD, not knowing what was happening and why it was long or had more empty tracks. All to reveal that secret track. Man you even got the bong hit! 🤣 Smoking one now for you!

This was amazing. There are some die hard fans that would love to see Can't Even Breathe.

Reading this before MX even finished, thank you.

[@StreetHierarchy]

I hope he went in the back and smoked some tree like they were clearly doing in the audio clip before the song begins

[@MadkeimMusic]

I love it when hearing a song instantly brings you back at the time you started listening to it. This definitely did it for me, and it feels good! Thanks Stephen!

[@daveram57]

Stephen Carpenter is a national treasure. When I saw the video over 30 min I already knew he was gonna play Damone ☆☆

[@vincentsapone4531]

In 1997-98 this cassette tape sat in my 1989 S-10 Blazer's tape deck for a solid year. There was no reason to take it out. I'm surprised it didn't melt to the internals of the radio. I still have that cassette.

[@federicopawlus8934]

TREMENDOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MX + DAMONE!!!!!!!!! ÉPICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MetalDoDo]

theres a very extremely sensual touch to this song air-tight packaged with rampage(i have no idea how this sentence make any sense but thats Deftones). also a perfect way to wrap up an album. and Stephen just leaves the room then comes back for Daemon lol. love you guys.

[@xtraspecialj]

God i loved this song on this album. I was just out of high school and i liked the Deftones 1st album but wasn't crazy about this album, then i saw them at the House of Blues. It was my first concert I'd ever been to and Chino was an absolute beast back then. He would climb up to the very top of the tall speaker stacks on the sides of the stage and leap off of them into the crowd. He did this about, oh, a thousand times it seemed like. Anyways, i LOVED this album and especially this song after that show. Still my favorite album from them by a pretty huge margin. Such a dark and groovy mood this whole album has.

[@MrGmanDan]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG STEPHEN!

Damone.... legendary. THANK YOU STEF

fuck this takes me back, chilling with a beer, soaking in the tone and that bass line and then the raw urgency of damone!!!!

32:12 for Damone

[@Kid_Ying]

😳 I just randomly went to search up a video to this and thought "why isn't it playing?" and as it turns out, it'll premiere in a few hours. I'm stupid, but looking forward to it.

[@markc9949]

I'm 35 and have been listening to the Deftones since I was 11. I know everyone loves WP. I do too. But there was just something so magical about ATF. I truly can listen to it front to back, and still do, all these years later. I saw Deftones in 2016 and they played MX and I was so happy they did.

[@Username-ng8jy]

They started finding their sound with ATF. Adrenaline is awesome. But you can tell they just started as most songs sound the same. In ATF they have more texture and songs start sounding different from one another. And then WP which basically is the poster child of who they are as a band.

[@kennygryskwicz8240]

White pony was their big mainstream break out, but self title is s a absolute masterpiece, like it topped white pony 10 fold, w no guest appearances from MJK or none of that, just straight metal 🔥🔥🔥

@@dozerone59 I watched the premiere, the moment when everyone realised we were getting Damone and they were following albums length of the silence was awesome

[@auburnguitar1742]

I worked at a record store in the early 90's when I was a teenager and we got a bunch of sampler cassettes in from Maverick Records. It had 3 songs on it, a Madonna song, Deftones and something I can't remember. Almost didn't listen to it because I assumed they were some R&B group or something. Glad I did!!!

[@simonhaines681]

Dude you're missing out, get all their albums and put them on, maybe even at the same time. As a minimum, get Deftones, Koi No Yokan and Ohms

[@blastbeatdown]

I was the same way for quite a few years bro. I’m 34, was a big fan in my early teens, then fell off after White Pony. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t check out Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan. It might take a few spins for it to grow on you, but they evolved better than every other nu metal band in that era.

[@drewburwell1465]

All I can say to that is YOU ARE MISSING THE FUCK OUT. One of the only bands that continue to blow the lid off shit with each album even if not immediately in live with them, like fine wine and some listening they are all amazing ..
