Knife Party with special guest Rodleen Getsick at CHI benefit

Deftones performing Knife Party at Avalon

[@Windhorse11]

The fact that just months after this recording, Rodleen sustained a traumatic brain injury and damage to her upper spine and brainstem and has never been the same since makes these screams even more haunting.

[@Piscesluna]

Yeah, I just looked up her insta and damn what an injury, that's got to be such a freaky and debilitating thing to be fine one moment and then slipped on a mat when out shopping and landed on her head, changing her life forever. Wow.

[@teamisom]

@@foku1707 she's talked about it a couple of times on her instagram account(s)

[@meddle333]

This is almost in NO WAY comparable... but yes... I once bumped my head on a shelf at work - just a little bump. Enough to make me stop dead for a minute or two and later I found out I was bleeding a little, but I didnt think much of it at first. It happened all the time. A few hours later I started getting a headache and felt a little disoriented. By a day or two later I was in the hospital because my world had turned upside down. Like I said, luckily for me it was only post concussive syndrome and it only lasted around 2.5 weeks, but holy shit... it's so hard to comprehend just how vulnerable your brain really is in there. I couldn't finish a sentence without forgetting what I was saying... I never really knew what time it was... I would recognize people but couldn't remember their names... I never stuttered before but now I do occasionally... the biggest thing was I had crazy insomnia my whole life until that happened and for a few years after that I could fall asleep at any time of the day. Job fucking fired me and never paid the workers comp. I was there for roughly 10 years. Denied me food stamps, too. Said I quit for no reason, but told worker comp they fired me. It was a whole thing. My depression and anxiety came back full force when that happened. Took years to get over what they did. Anyway... idk why I'm just sitting here rambling on a random comment. I guess that was just really sad to hear about her. That's awful.

[@1i1sam]

Sure is!

Really sad how she got injured. Would love to see her live with deftones, off key or not. Also, i don't think most people realize how hard it is to sing when you can't hear yourself

[@derpyhooves9868]

Is the same woman who screams in the studio version of Knife Party.

[@AndroidVageta1]

+Derpy hooves Yes, it is. What the fuck, huh? She sounds great on the album but looks like she needs to be put down here.

[@krxZGB]

+Logical Reason She did ok here, pity for the bad sound recording. Mobile phone capture if I'm not mistaken. You see, in the studio they made lots of retries and naturally placed the best one on the album :) She had this one flow she caught once, it got recorded, it's freakin' epic and you can find it on the album. Treasure it, that kind of control over your chords in such an energetic and beautiful yet disturbing way doesn't happen every day. ;)

I think everyone would understand why she sings like this if you look up her injury. Her vocals is Still art to me.

[@diegoortiz1012]

Im pretty sure the injury happened back in 2010, this was recorded ATLEAST in 2009 according to the upload date...

[@eggbertsmith]

To the inept, anything which is outside of what they can achieve, is often viewed as "art".

[@diegoortiz1012]

Im not talking about the record on the album. Sure on the album was top notch, but live right here as you can totally see, its not close at all to the album...

[@IceKoldKilla]

Wow! I loved it! Songs are different played live especially with Deftones. When she went screaming like that, it gave me the chills and it even sounded scary like someone suffering but it just made it better that way. I remember wishing to hear Chino sing as close as possible to how he did on the records but he barely does. He changes it up a bit every time and that's what makes their performance special. Definitely not a band for everyone but it's ok. My favorite band! Nice to see MrVersanique!

[@OtisB.Driftwood]

Thank you Rodleen

[@jogologoexisto]

I think the backvocal is better when the video quality is not so poor.

[@hassansuboh1891]

When I first heard her part on that album when it came out, I was taken aback and wasn’t a big fan. Over the years I’ve have grown to love it and this live rendition was even more haunting than the album version.

This sucked badly. Still, she rocks in the studio version.

There actually was a "mode" she was singing in on the record, and she's not doing it here. I'm not bitching though. I've been looking for videos of Deftones and Rodleen doing this song together for a while.

[@reysolph]

haunting eerie moans

[@epblu]

Everyone defending the performance in light of "artistic expression" should at least admit that it's disappointing that there isn't a live version where she replicates the tonality and feeling of the album version. She pretty much just screams randomly and it takes me out of it a little.

[@Davephatbuds]

I can understand why everyone is bagging on Rodleen. It sounded out of key. But they probably didn't rehearse it and was a last minute thing, who knows. Plus, this was probably the first and only time performing it live with them, give her a break. Gotta love the passion that she gave to the performance though.

[@BPoweredLove]

Davephatbuds Oh, come on. No human would agree to sing this especially unique part of Knife Party without practicing. This bitch is simply shrieking like a maniac inspired by Yoko. God damn this shit is garbage.

[@Davephatbuds]

What do you mean "no human would agree to sing this". She agreed to sing it because she's the one who recorded the vocals to begin with! So it's a no brainer to have her sing it live. It wasn't her best performance. But who cares. At least she put passion behind it. At the end of the day, that's what matters. Especially, at a benefit show.

[@BPoweredLove]

Davephatbuds Interesting how you conveniently omitted the primary point of my sentence in your quotation. Your attempt at spin is curious.

[@Davephatbuds]

You're making too much of this. She didn't have the best vocal performance, so you're going to scold her for it? I forgot that singers have to be absolutely perfect day in and day out. My bad. Even Chino's had some off nights with sketchy vocals. Are you going to bash him too? Seriously, get off your high horse.

[@BPoweredLove]

Davephatbuds You are absolutely bizarre.

[@Autoravetv]

[@rudydembinski9145]

Yikes... As much as I love her contribution to the song on the record.. Maaaaybe it doesn't come off so well performed live. The fact that this was captured by a cell phone has a lot to do with that as well. I hear more of Chino's wavering whistling whine than I hear her a capella.

[@childrensadvil]

A problem with this is it picks up a lot of screams from the crowd, so you can't hear her as well as one at the actual show/from a better recording would. You end up hearing screaming from fans that aren't trying to hit notes, aren't trying to emote anything...basically just screams that aren't trying to do anything but scream out loud. All of you judging this, do you judge songs when you can't hear them properly at all? Well, maybe you do...but you shouldn't. And PS - YOU try doing better!

[@LunatiqHigh]

Stephan Carpenter said they don't practice all their songs after they are finished them in the studio. you can really tell with this song. lol. I was really hoping for more. I don't get why the entire comments section wanked the shit out of Chino's version of her part in another video (he sounded like shit) when she sounds better than what he did. But I get that she still did bad compared the studio version/ but I'm leaving that up to Deftone's laziness. lol
