DEFTONES - MY OWN SUMMER | REACTION

[@nickallison6063]

LETS FUCKING GO DEFTONES. First view I believe. I already know you fuck with this track and I haven't even watched yet.

[@jamelakajamal]

Thought it was a Vampire song at first lol But Chino Was Just Hot😅😅😅

[@chrisz5z]

@@jamelakajamal 😂 that's how some of their songs are...if you listen to 'Passenger' for the 1st time it sounds like something epic, but he's just singing bout riding in a car

[@christopherwilson7207]

[@Irishnfire]

this was written in Seattle during the hot summer of 1994. Trapped inside of his room by the heat and sun, Chino Moreno boarded up his windows with aluminum foil and wished for "An apocalyptic-type thing" where all of the people on the streets would disappear and the sun would go away. He called this dream world "his own summer," which is where the song title comes from.

[@yourstrength1314]

I totally understand the lyrics now he’s talking about the sun “hey you big star”

[@frederikdemoor2018]

You remember thank you

[@BosskV2]

The aluminum foil part is a little concerning. I wonder if he went a little bit dillusional.

All he had to do was wait a few months😂

Accurate description? Umm I suppose it sounds neat to say that, but it doesn’t have any real descriptive meaning. What, they only play songs at night? They suck human blood... metaphorically? For real it’s a terrible description. But funny to think about I suppose?

[@dta2599]

"You can't touch the sun, that shit's hot!" Lmaooo. Facts.

LUCKY ASFFFF

[@TheCal3b]

Funny you talk about the soundtrack to a vampire movie cause their song Change (In The House of Flies) is actually on Queen of the Damned lmao.

[@tjohnson2789]

well its actually Korn that did that whole Soundtrack. But they got soooo screwed from the director that they couldn't even resell what Jonathan Davis wrote. So a lot of bands got together and did the whole Queen of the damn. which had like Disturbed and many others. but orginally. all songs on Queen of the Damned was all done by Korn. Just sucks they got screwed in the process of the movie.

[@Will_Wel]

@@tjohnson2789 that movie was cool. Too bad Aaliyah had to pass. She was great.

[@Kayvel54]

@@tjohnson2789 It's actually only 1 guy from Korn that did the sound track. Not the entire band. And Sony said no due to contract limitations. Which is why the sound track was then put together by members of various bands including 2 members of Korn, but no one from Korn could do any vocals. Here is the list of people that did the sound track: Jeff Scott Soto was hired to do the vocal work but instead five of Jon's friends from other bands were chosen including Wayne Static of Static-X, David Draiman of Disturbed, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson, and Jay Gordon of Orgy.[2] Head and Munky from Korn, Sam Rivers of Limp Bizkit, L. Shankar, Vinnie Colaiuta and Terry Bozzio rounded out the studio musicians.

[@jakethomas1837]

Change (In The House Of Flies) was also featured in Episode 2 of the show The Following. The scene was perfect for that song.

[@TonyTonez91]

Fun fact it also appeared in the movie Dragonball Z Coolers Revenge

[@shammyboy207]

This song has such an incredible depth. I know there are so many ways to interpret it but here's mine: To me this song is about depression and karma. "The clouds come and shove the sun aside"; how we feel when we are depressed, messed up in life, lost something meaningful. "No sun in my summer" is just a metaphor for being depressed and feeling alone. "Hey you, big star, tell me when it's over" is like looking up at the universe and asking God when will this feeling go away. "I think god is moving it's tongue There's no crowd in the streets And no sun in my own summer" refers to karma (god moving his tongue), and whatever he did has left him all alone and depressed. It's his "own" summer. Everyone is out enjoying the summer, while his is a sad, dark and lonely one without sun. "I try and look up to the sky, but my eyes burn" means he wants to heal/change/get out of the state he's in, but he's just being burned by God and has to wait for the karma to take it's course. "The shade is a tool a device a savior" the shade is a way for him to feel alright - to get away from the burning heat (God's punishment), and in the long run, it's his savior - he must feel remorse and take the time to heal and learn from his mistakes.

[@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530]

Zoned 247--- You don't know shit about drumming. You probably think Lars Ulrich is the best drummer in rock. Now go back to sleep, moron.

[@sharinglungs3226]

Banished From The Dwarf Planet you don’t know shit about drum writing either apparently. Ab’s drums plays counter to Steph guitars while most basic drummers would try to compete, or overplay what the guitarist is doing. It’s this opposing sounds brings interest to a song. It’s really the difference between a great drummer and whoever you think is good.

Also check out "Minerva" by the Deftones. Prob one of my favs by them.

Deftones my man Jamel! This band has some real gems. Back to School and Be Quiet and Drive are in my opinion songs of our generation in the middle to late nineties. Incredible group of musicians. Thanks again for the top tier content.

[@cletusmcquilly]

Gotta listen to Passenger featuring Maynard from Tool.

[@mattnoonan6519]

As a MASSIVE Deftones fan, I think this is a bad song to introduce people to, unless they're already Tool fans. I see it as more of a song for fans of both bands, and not a song to introduce people to the Deftones. You have to have a knowledge of both bands to really appreciate that song.

Deftones song "Passenger" is great it features Maynard from Tool.

[@ellyrocker]

Finally.. you do the DEFTONES!!

[@tankorrsmash]

Your reaction vids are brilliant! I did interview Chino the lead singer a few years ago and part of how he writes lyrics is as a reaction to the music him and the band composed together. Deftones write, produce, and record their musical ideas before he does lyrics and vocals.

I watched "The Crow: City of Angels" a while back, and they have a cameo where they're playing on stage. Never realized they were in that.

[@706wi11]

Back in the 90s there was some magazine that came with a CD every month. I bought (or rather my dad bought for me) the one at a news stand that had this song on it. Other than this song and Change I don't remember much about them, other than it was back when MTV still played music videos and iirc this one had sharks in it. I would set the VCR to record 120 minutes often times while I slept at night so probably still have an old VHS tape with this on it in a box somewhere. Also I learned how to play this song via tabs in a Guitar Monthly mag. That is my entire experience with this band/song. Have a nice day everyone thank you for reading my comments blog

[@DaveMustang74]

Dude, I stumbled across you last night. I got hooked immediately. Off today and have been watching video after video. I love it man. You seem to really enjoy discovering all this music.

Most people seem to enjoy the Summer but some people just prefer the fall and winter. This song sums that feeling up pretty well.

[@albedo82]

Apparently Chino said he wrote this song during a brutally hot summer where he had to cover up all of his windows just to keep the heat from getting in. And there were too many people outside from a large influx of tourists. So he wanted his own summer where it wasn't hot and there were no people. Another rumor says he wrote this song when he was really hung over and went out walking outside and the heat and the brightness from the sun was unbearable.
