[@thedogfromraditude5449]

Love this song! Chino’s vocals from this era are probably some of the best vocal performances in metal history, and he sounds great on this one. It’s a fairly deep cut on White Pony and I don’t see it talked about a lot. I also love the lyrics. Abusive relationships are an important topic to discuss, and Deftones always handles it in a way that’s sophisticated and poignant. The symbolism this song uses paired with the creepy atmosphere makes it very emotional and interesting to dissect.

[@adutra5567]

Agreed about his Era

[@oukeith]

This song is played at every strip club ive been to lol

[@hxplxss1835]

@Hunter Vonnegut Digital bath is the bomb man

[@mikesw3ll153]

I get that vibe you describe on Ceremony and the video as well . Vert beautiful way to handle that topic for sure

[@MisanthropicTimeSlipperz]

It's about a toxic girlfriend that keeps giving her boyfriend a bunch of drugs to control him. Definitely an abusive relationship. I love dissecting lyrics of my favorite bands when their lyrics actually have deep meanings.

[@gabeortiz3]

What a tease showing the drums in the opening shot. 😤

[@theHOOD61]

Scott's vocals in the chorus 💅

[@BuildYourOwnBass]

No lie this song has been in my head for TWO WEEKS. Playing from a 20 year old memory... 💯🤍 from Minneapolis

[@BuildYourOwnBass]

And when I say song, I mean THAT RIFF SC you are \m/etal\m/

[@cloventusg.2944]

Still one of the most unique sounding and cathartic bands I know . Deftones is it’s own lane and I’ve been blessed for over a decade with their music!🙏🙇🏻‍♂️

[@MisanthropicTimeSlipperz]

I'll never forget I discovered these guys right after they came out with Adrenaline and I've been hooked ever since. 39 years old and these guys are definitely one of my top three favorite bands of all time.

[@flazuki5288]

Years ago there was an interview, where he talked about RX Queen and how he used a 7 string at the end of the song. He got his first 7 string in late 1999 and this is the only occasion where it was used on White Pony. It's amazing that he actually gave a fuck to do those strums on it at the end, it couldn't be more accurate! edit: found it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKqZdIamr9aYrcU

[@arivera1793]

Thank you for the link!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@Toast7160]

Didn’t Stef play it live one time in A# standard on his 7 string and later on dropped tune it to Drop F# for the outro by a drop pedal?

[@flazuki5288]

@@Toast7160never heard of that before. whats your source?

[@anthonyhoward5382]

This song right here!

[@marianorivera1777]

The Dia de Los Deftones art is amazing. Glad they added it in the bass drum!

[@Metal_Mohan]

Ah yes a bit of Steftone on a Monday, perfect

[@seth2533]

he truly deserve that nick name, Steftone

[@Defekcija]

Amazing vocals and even better drums! Guitars and bass just killing it! I love this song and this album! Best deftones era.

[@noisynerves4436]

Awesome original sound back in the day

[@pirituflauti6094]

Hahaha when I saw that drum at the beginning, for a moment i thought "ok, Abe is onnnn".

[@Agostoic]

He got us on the first half, lol

[@adutra5567]

delicacy anything PONY

[@IrvinVanderbilt]

Deftones 🤘😎

[@analoglee]

Is the shot of the drums a hint of Abe's playthroughs coming soon ?

[@nya7941]

prolly not

[@andrewarmsley6806]

Best thing about this song is that it's chill and you can play it at a bar and not have people be like what the fuk .....peace to Scott Weiland...who sings harmony in this track

[@Lhhuz]

W H A T

[@TheCoolhanddan83]

Was hoping someone would give Scott a shout out in the comments. RIP

[@Georgeirfx]

@@Lhhuz He can be clearly heard in the chorus starting on the word "girl"

[@barbaricbarbosa]

@@Georgeirfx yessss!

[@road_king_dude]

No way!! 😲😲😲

[@candyohlala]

RIP Scott Weiland 💜

[@sharinglungs3226]

Little known fact about this song. Wish he joined them on stage for this one time.

[@jodymcdougle8810]

Was this song about him?

[@candyohlala]

@@jodymcdougle8810 he joined to sing part of the chorus, you can actually listen that Chino and Scott are singing together... You can find how Scott appeared in the song in Revolver Magazine, this is where I actually read it.

[@Mikasa186_]

Scott is Scott

[@nayronff4431]

Só agora tô sabendo disso, feliz em saber.

[@djvsiren5244]

Just saw them play this song last night. Great Fn show! Strong Monday! Edit: I wonder if he'll switch guitars at the end of this song.

[@showmeyourarms]

[@agreer5272]

You switch guitars for the chug at the end? I always wondered how you get that low in the tuning for the song!

[@THESLOWDEATHHOOKS]

now we need some drum play-throughs

[@jabbarmuhammad8804]

Precise talent with a good song

[@kcjones6034]

Fkn fantastic, 💪😎

i hope we get abe to do a drum play through.

[@stbeegg]

Люблю эту песню.

[@WhiteDemonStudio]

Thank you! 🔥💖😘

[@MisanthropicTimeSlipperz]

It's kind of crazy how Scott Weiland ended up doing the background vocals in this song. Chino met him in Burbank one day and showed him this track and Scott busted out his microphone and started doing his thing. Chino loved it so much they had to use it as a little Easter egg in the song. Pretty crazy this song is about a toxic girlfriend that keeps giving her boyfriend a copious amount of drugs to keep him under her control.

[@michellerivas536]

Is he the one that’s in the bg of the bridge???

[@MisanthropicTimeSlipperz]

@@michellerivas536 yeah, it's very subtle but you can hear him if you really pay attention.

I won't stop following you Now help me pray for The death of everything new Then we'll fly farther 'Cause you're my girl And that's alright If you sting me I won't mind We'll stop to rest on the moon And we'll make a fire I'll steal a carcass for you Then feed off the virus 'Cause you're my girl And that's alright If you sting me I won't mind 'Cause you're my girl And that's alright If you sting me I won't mind I see a red light in June And I hear crying You turn newborn baby blue Now we're all the virus You're my girl And that's alright If you sting me I won't mind 'Cause you're my girl And that's alright If you sting me I won't mind Sting Sting Sting
