Never Heard Them Before! | Deftones - Adrenaline | Reaction / Review

[@aar0n357]

Pleaseeeee listen to all their albums dude, they go from six strings in the 90s, to seven strings in the 2000s, and now they use eight strings and nine strings. Their evolution is crazyyyy

[@neilpatrickhairless]

In 2025 Stef Tone is gonna play an actual fuckin harp

[@morganshibby8941]

More strings has nothing to do with a crazy evolution

[@aar0n357]

@@morganshibby8941 when a band goes from playing nu metal riffs in the 90s to playing basically djent in the 2010s yeah I think that does show some evolution dawg 💀💀

[@tonysanchelli9810]

Dude You need to hear a little bit of every album they've ever made before you cast any type of it. Opinions or judgments~

[@tonysanchelli9810]

The Def tones are a great band since the very beginning, and there still a great band today ~ it's just too bad they've been a little underrated ~

[@Veri183]

Man, you're in for an amazing journey. "Adrenaline" is so raw. From this to "Around the Fur" is already a huge step and they only got better from then onwards. Every record is different, but undoubtedly Deftones. Imagine, before "Adrenaline" was recorded they were asked to play a few songs for Madonna's then manager and he signed them right after the first song. 🤣

[@zortingen3322]

We need more deftones!

[@neilpatrickhairless]

7 Words: "You Have The Right To Remain Silent"

[@LVIIIR]

Please do all of their albums! ☺

[@FOCS27]

During this period, Stephen was the only guitarist in the band. When _White Pony_ (their third album) came around, Chino picked up the guitar and started playing as well. Deftones also has a demo album called _(Like) Linus_ which you can find on KZbin. The band had a very different sound back then, you wouldn't even recognize them lol. Chino also has two other bands (Team Sleep and Crosses), and a side project called "Palms" with some of the members of the band Isis. Contrary to what a lot of people say, the only contribution Chino made to Palms were the vocals, the instrumentals were all by the Isis guys (Chino talked about it on a podcast a while back). Chino did learn some of the guitar parts for a tour they did, though.

[@hoju6796]

A journey that i wish i could repeat. Enjoy. Their evolution is amazing. Not a bad album in them, imo. Fireal and Fist have that shoegaze beginnings.

[@cosmicmanhunt2155]

Remember discovering them in high school, i was like 13 years old, i wasnt ever the same all the years next i remember posting Back to School on my facebook profile with a little text about the shit of the year before and whishing the best to my homies, every year.

[@Neorigg]

The evolution in sound mix between this and their second album is crazy

[@M82Nick]

I seriously hope you do all of the Deftones albums so you can see their progression and get a deeper appreciation of their music. I’m 42, and have been a fan of this band since 1995

[@davidpwolfe]

I definitely will! I'm rotating through a few band's catalogs right now, but I will eventually get to all the Deftones records.

[@CoboProdz]

This masterpiece turns 30 in October. Brilliant start to a phenomenal career

[@michaelmignone5869]

Def have to do Around ths Fur next! In my opinion, their best album!

[@notimportant3686]

it's great... either tied with adrenaline or just slightly below for best

[@tnev3717]

Brother, you just took me back. Little club in southern ohio. Front row. Boy, have they come a long way. While others stopped. Deftones just kept dropping 💥! Hope you go on. It's one hell of a journey.

[@darkzero7969]

All of their albums are masterpieces imo. I'll definitely watch your reactions if you come out with em

[@mkennedy319]

This brings me back. Early high school for me when i first heard the deftones. 97-98 something like that. They changed my musical life then.

[@vipergtsr85]

Favourite band. This album always sounded like a bunch of high school kids making a demo tape, maybe saving up to get an evening down the local recording studio. Maybe my least favourite album in all honesty, but 30 years later I do appreciate it more. Fist feels like that look into the future of what was to come when you think shoegaze alternative. Hope you listen to the complete set.

[@HenryRuins]

SOANM by Fear Factory was the same for me but grew to really love that album years later

[@Straw_Breaker]

This band is so amazing and innovative that I often forget their guitarist is somehow a flat earther. Seriously though there's a reason they always come up in every other conversation about metal music, definitely one of the goats

[@rufroofis8326]

My momma said this was “devil” music… they’ve been my favorite band for 30 years

[@davidpwolfe]

😂

[@descantinginsalubrious]

My favorite Deftones album. Just hits all the spots for me. I know it's a *little* formulaic, especially in retrospect but the music is amazing.

[@Xeroforte]

Jonathan Taylor? The singer of SlipKorn? Lol

[@davidpwolfe]

Lol I knew I was mixing something up 😅

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Son of Tim Taylor the TOOL man

[@MrBlahblhblah]

fuck this brings me back to high school when this came out.

[@sicboi80]

This was such a good album, glad you got around to it.

[@davidpwolfe]

More to come!

[@lungfulldrummer8921]

Have you heard the band glassjaw? Imagine this thrown in a blender with some punk rock and Dillinger escape plan. Their first 2 albums are killer.

[@possiblystevo9141]

their best album

[@joshwilliams565]

Got to see them open for the Bad Brains before this album was released. We had no clue who they were and halfway through their first song "Bored" my buddy and I were hooked. The whole set blew us away. Really hope you will listen to the rest of their albums in the order they were released. The progression of their sound is very interesting and each album is unique. I remember being so excited for Around the Fur to drop and immediately it became my favorite album.

[@CoboProdz]

Wow great story. Bad brains is so sick too.

[@joshwilliams565]

@@CoboProdz The Bad Brains got cut short after 4 songs because HR wigged out and took the mic stand and hit a guy over the head with it and blood went every where and he ended up getting arrested and thrown in jail.

[@ricksantos9849]

Enjoy this amazing journey. You are in for a ride. No bad albums. Some are better than others but they all are great.

[@pstvtycrnr99]

YES, my favorite band 😭I hope you check out their other albums, because their evolution is crazy. My favorite album is the one after "Adrenaline," which is "Around the Fur"

[@piermaicol]

you should definitely check their other albums, most of all white pony, which is hands down one of the most beautiful, haunting, iconic albums of the last 25 years

[@mattrickard2283]

Still holds up.

[@CoboProdz]

Never heard deftones?! Boy are u in for a ride. 1995-present day, nothing but stellar albums

[@ignorethefashion]

Long time Deftones fan, I wish I could go back and experience them all over for the first time.

[@returntolifeband]

if you decide to go through their discography chronologically I really hope you have the same "oh shit this hits DIFFERENT" reaction to Saturday Night Wrist that I did when I heard it for the first time

[@davidpwolfe]

I'm really looking forward to getting there!

[@neilpatrickhairless]

This album and the demo before it (like) Linus were very inspired by Bad Brains, Faith No More, Slowdive, Helmet... All the good shit basically

[@burpeefactory152]

make all the albums! you are already on the way 🙏🙏🙏

[@deathknell1970]

great reaction

[@deftoner9763]

I love them because they become so diverse

[@hihihaha49]

7 words is actually a reference to the statement "You have the right to remain silent" and the song is about chino being oppressed by the authorities and also other people around him

[@johncarpenter3751]

Oh yeah! This album is good but White Pony is their magnum opus! Sooo many good songs on that album that are just masterpieces

[@cruzzguzman]

facts. i want to see him react to digital bath.

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

I remember picking this soon after release. I'm a massive Helmet appreciator, if you're not familiar with them, listen thru their albums "Meantime"('92), & "Betty"('94), then you can understand when this came out, I was quite happy that another band had appeared doing similar things (with very distinctly different vocal stuff going on with Deftones). ;) Deftones changed their thing quite a lot thru the years tho. I think I own their first four albums, then I stopped buying so many albums generally after the turn of the millenium.... I'm sure filesharing had nothing to do with that! #DealWithItLarsYouRichTwat LOL Anyhoo, there is some damn good work from Deftones over the years - well worth further digging-into imho. I'm sure other folk will fill these comments with suggestions as to which order to cover which albums etc. :)

[@marsh23600]

please check out their other albums! ❤

[@HenryRuins]

The very underground band Relative Ash is often compared to Deftones and many even say that the band copied Deftones but they were more heavier in my opinion I really would recommend their album Our Time With You... that is found on KZbin but sadly it's very hard to find album digitally and physically but I somehow managed to get a copy from Amazon

[@davidpwolfe]

Interesting! I've never heard of them before.

[@HenryRuins]

@@davidpwolfe yeah me neither only discovered them in December

[@deftoner9763]

I would recommend Koi No Yokan

[@iDevilzPain]

Koi No Yokan Next!

[@aliyahburnette8018]

And chino did a song for Resident Evil Retribution.

[@notimportant3686]

surprise surprise YES>.. it is in fact their best album... wish they would record it again with better production, but their best riffs are all on this album

[@shaunstermonster]

This video title absolutely baffles me

[@patrickvanderwal6324]

This one still has a lot of Bad Brains influence. Especially in Chinos singing.

[@kastyles1415]

you should react to allll deftones albums

[@neilpatrickhairless]

"Fireal" is pronounced like "For Real?" but with a California twang

[@julioplayz5882]

More

[@markk6151]

This a fun skate type record, def not their best. The next album you'll see the hype and signature sound, they lean more into the post-hardcore genre. My fav is Koi No Yokan from 2012

[@aliyahburnette8018]

You have never heard of Deftones man you need to check out my own summer (shove it) and rocket skates I did a deep dive in on Deftones last year and yeah I got a completely comparison to Chevelle, Thornhill, Moodring, Mirrorcell and many more.

[@ggates2500]

Disambiguation cd noted.

[@Monteggiaa]

I need you react the album "sexless demons and scars" by jack off jill

[@droid_no1]

The first 3 deftones albums are superb and the sound evolved throughout. Fourth onwards it evolved into something bland and boring. They never seem to have recaptured their original authentic and dynamic sound. Still a great band that stood out from the other wannabes

[@ekemisvo]

Diamond Eyes begs to disagree

[@burpeefactory152]

Koi no yokan is beautiful

[@deepvoidd]
