Leader singer with pants worn below the waist ☑ Guitarist with jean shorts ☑ Bassist with dreads ☑ Skinny white drummer ☑ Yup, this is vintage late 90's

[@Spenjbob101]

I've only gotten into Deftones within the last year or so and even though i hadn't properly heard this song before in my life until several months ago, it weirdly felt very much apart of my childhood and that i should of known about it wile i was growing up...

[@03SilverMustangGT]

I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. Let's just be glad we have YT to watch thing kinda stuff haha How yeah, it would certainly be awesome to go back in time to the late 90's for a few days. I miss those days!

[@realpillboxer]

Adrenaline and Around the Fur were, and still are, the two most Deftones albums in their discography. They've definitely come back to that core sound in later albums, but nothing as cohesive of a sound as those two.

You can tell the guitar player is on Cloud 6 billion, as a fellow player myself, the energy he exhibits is pure endorphins and adrenaline from performing. It’s a feeling better than any drug on earth. Makes me so happy to see bands get gigs like this, it’s what you dream of every night as a musician.

[@BuckScrotumn]

I always tell people it’s better than sex, it’s better than drugs, it’s better than having sex on drugs. I remember one time while playing a really good show, as my head swung up (I was the drummer) everything seemed to move in slow motion. I could see the sweat flying off my head towards the ceiling, the sweat from our bass players head raining down on me as he stood on my bass drum, and in that moment I realized that I had never felt such an incredible connection with another human being as I did those 3 dudes on stage with me in my entire life. It really did feel like the 4 of us could take on the entire world.

[@ihaventshoweredintwoweeks8318]

That’s because he knows what he is playing sounds amazing. That next level confidence.

For me diamond eyes and koi no yokan were not the most experimental but showed how good they got a writing catchy fun songs. Gore was a really good last album it felt like a happy version of the self titled record. With ohms I’m still kind a meh on the record but overall they are great band to check out, they have a lot of great songs. As a fan gore would have been a good goodbye.
