@@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
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.
@@jamelakajamal It's so much fun to watch you do these videos - reminds me of when I first heard this stuff - especially Deftones - and how it just blew my mind. Also, bay area represent.
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?
"For real... WHAT IS THIS?"😂 I love the Deftones so much and I never understood what he was saying. Then I'd read the lyrics and understand it even less. 😄
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
Hey Jamel, Primus and Deftones in one weekend! Hot damn! My wife’s favorite band is Deftones and she just sat through all four reaction vids... we could feel your excitement! You’ve Seen the Butcher Passenger Be Quiet and Drive Just to start... rabbit hole indeed cause these guys have a deep catalog! Looking forward to more!
Some great tunes on all their albums! White Pony of course (Digital Bath, Change, Knife Party,...), Koi no Yokan (Leathers, Tempest,...), Diamond Eyes (Diamond Eyes, Risk, Rocket Skates,...)
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.
It was used in the original Matrix movie. Ironically, I just watched your Change in the House of Flies vid. That song was used for the movie Queen of the Damned, which was a vampire movie. Love the react my dude!
My man you are killing me with the vampire talk. The disbelief. Loved it. Yeah when I saw this video title I knew you'd love the beat/riff but find the lyrics as odd as I do
Cheers to you getting into all my favorite bands this new year. Deftones and Tool (and all dude projects of both singers) have saved n changed my life for the better. Love to see someone enjoying the magic
I know what he means. I started listening to the Deftones when I was in the Army. I was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. It was hot! I could relate to that song. This band is in my top 5 all-time!
I’ve listened to this song for over 20 years and I’ve honestly never paid attention to the lyrics until now. Always just banged my head to the song because it’s one of the best metal jams ever.
I fucking love Deftones. This was the tune that got me into them. I’m from the Central Valley here in California, they’re from Sacramento, and it gets just as unbearably up there as it does here. So, I can relate to the song a lot! Haha.
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.
this song teleports me back to when I was 15. My friend gave me a mini-disc with a bunch of sick bands, including this song. I listened to this shit non stop for like two weeks.
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.
Great reaction! Nice job exploring and analyzing of the lyrics. I got the album when it came out. They splashed onto the scene with this big hit. I never have read the lyrics though. I just knew that it rocked.
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. That's awesome! I'm a metalhead, but I love all kinds and eras of music. Too often we get get caught up in one scene and miss out. Dude keep it up!!😃
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
Thier on a level all on thier own. No band like them each band member brings a style that no one has or will come close to. They represent what it is to be cool.
LETS FUCKING GO DEFTONES. First view I believe. I already know you fuck with this track and I haven't even watched yet.
Thought it was a Vampire song at first lol But Chino Was Just Hot😅😅😅
@@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
@@chrisz5z close but i think most people agree passenger is about having sex in a car.
@@Josh-ii7mg hmm 🤔, now that you mention it...I'd have to agree 😅
@@chrisz5z listen to passenger again... It's all about sex

I totally understand the lyrics now he’s talking about the sun “hey you big star”
You remember thank you
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😂
@@BosskV2I’m sure there were zero drugs involved
"It's like they vampires or something!" I've been a Deftones fan for 20+ years and that is the MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION.
You Feel Me👍🏾
@@jamelakajamal It's so much fun to watch you do these videos - reminds me of when I first heard this stuff - especially Deftones - and how it just blew my mind. Also, bay area represent.
Like really fucking cool vampires
@@thewampus97tj " that beat is funky! " ...... funky vampires 😆

"You can't touch the sun, that shit's hot!"
Lmaooo.
Facts.
This song is about being depressed AF and having to go out on a sunny day.
and being locked in your room
@@ProfessorArt1 apparently with tinfoil on the windows
The song is about hating summer, that’s about it lol
"For real... WHAT IS THIS?"😂 I love the Deftones so much and I never understood what he was saying. Then I'd read the lyrics and understand it even less. 😄
Just Talking About How hot it was and trying to escape from people and the SUN!!
@@jamelakajamal yeah, I guess this one is pretty on the nose
I dont think anyone actually listens to the Deftones for their lyrics.
It's about sunglasses
...and being cool, ,
unflappably so 🤘
“Can’t shove the sun dat shits hot!”
God I love this guy
When you do a deftones, it is a mandatory to do be quiet and drive
This town dont feel mine
Pink cellphone
lol.. clever.. that legit got me..
yeah no shit. give your thoughts after its over.
Never heard of that song
Basically, Chino really doesn’t like the levels in Super Mario 3 where the sun chases you down. ;)
Gah I feel that ☀️💀
🙌🙌🙌
I hated those
more deftones!!!! rx queen, risk, & cherry waves are my favorites
RX Queen is amazing.
The Graceful Savage its my absolute favorite
:)
👍👍
I’m all for Rx Queen!
My all time favorite band! Seen them live 29 times!
LUCKY ASFFFF
Stephen Carpenter’s guitar sound is sooooo sick. 💕💕
Abe's drum sound has always been super super on point also. Their tone overall is top notch stuff
doctajuice His snare is so gorgeous sounding. It cracks perfectly.
@@frightenedsoul and the hi-hat is always super metallic and crunchy. Abe's kit just sounds sick in general
The best. Abe’s drum tones have always inspired me too. I love that tiiiiigggght snare.
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.
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.

Change (In The House Of Flies) was also featured in Episode 2 of the show The Following. The scene was perfect for that song.
Fun fact it also appeared in the movie Dragonball Z Coolers Revenge
Yes thank you ....more deftones
Deftones was the beginnings of my search for darker and heavier music
Deftones. My favorite band ever! My oldest son's middle name is Chino.

😊 I dig it bro...🍺😎
This song was on the Matrix soundtrack
Yeah but came out years before the matrix was even imagined
Well worth checking out Be quiet and drive!
This x2.
The whole "Around The Fur" album was amazing.
Gotta listen to Passenger featuring Maynard from Tool.
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.
the...pfffft
I think it's hilarious he said they sound like they could be on a vampire movie soundtrack, and they made a song for Queen of the Damned
Dude was hungover, the sun was beating thru the window messing with him, he was too lazy to move. So he wrote a masterpiece
Hey Jamel, Primus and Deftones in one weekend! Hot damn! My wife’s favorite band is Deftones and she just sat through all four reaction vids... we could feel your excitement!
You’ve Seen the Butcher
Passenger
Be Quiet and Drive
Just to start... rabbit hole indeed cause these guys have a deep catalog!
Looking forward to more!
And more Primus too.
Your reactions are real and true :) Hope you and your family have a Great Christmas
Thanks Justin🙏🏾 Merry Christmas
@@jamelakajamal Check out Entombed, off of the same album. Your ears will thank you
What is this!?! LOL. Deftones are so unique, man. They're one of my favorite bands. So moody and dark. Love it. Great reaction.
Also check out "Minerva" by the Deftones. Prob one of my favs by them.
Dare I say it's a beautiful song, really grabbed my soul by the balls when I first heard it.
Listen to Deftones Knife Prty
So much yes!!
Absolutely. It’ll be quite an experience for him.
Acoustic version.
best deftones song
YESSSS
Yo react to their older shit like “engine no9” “root” “bored” “nosebleed” they were nu metal gods man
Dont forget 7 words
Pretty much every track off Adrenaline and Around the Fur
gripenfelter YES! Best song off that album son!
"Adrenaline" is one of my all time favorite albums!!
Some great tunes on all their albums! White Pony of course (Digital Bath, Change, Knife Party,...), Koi no Yokan (Leathers, Tempest,...), Diamond Eyes (Diamond Eyes, Risk, Rocket Skates,...)
Deftones song "Passenger" is great it features Maynard from Tool.
Heaviest Insane Groove of All Time...Yes, They Are Sick! nice to see dude's check 'em out!
This is one of my all time favorite songs, and your reaction made it even better!!You Crazy!!!!
Check out also some of the Chino's side projects:
Team Sleep - Ever
Crosses - Bermuda Locket
Palms - Future Warrior
Ivaylo Iliev
Crosses - thholyghst is a dope ass song....until the hook lol
Love the drums on this track!
Why? They're redundant and too basic.
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.

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.

Yesss! More Deftones please! Knife Party, Minerva, 7 Words, Be Quiet And Drive...
Finally.. you do the DEFTONES!!
Yooo! I'm pumped you're reacting to Deftones.
I think you should go for some Helmet. “unsung” “iron head” or “you borrowed”
John McCullough Anything off Meantime or Betty!
“In the meantime” is fire same with “speechless”
DEFINITELY HELMET
And "Pure" from Aftertaste
Some Helmet would be good.
It was used in the original Matrix movie. Ironically, I just watched your Change in the House of Flies vid. That song was used for the movie Queen of the Damned, which was a vampire movie. Love the react my dude!
I wore out this cd 3x and that opening riff was the exit music for so many 90s kids
Saw them for the first time when they toured with Pantera. They blew the crowd away as an opening act.
Damn what an epic concert
My man you are killing me with the vampire talk. The disbelief. Loved it. Yeah when I saw this video title I knew you'd love the beat/riff but find the lyrics as odd as I do
I remember when this first came out like it was yesterday!
seeing them in Brisbane Australia March. they smoke weed and dab and great music. swerve city, rocket skates.
Cheers to you getting into all my favorite bands this new year. Deftones and Tool (and all dude projects of both singers) have saved n changed my life for the better. Love to see someone enjoying the magic
your vampire take was legit 😂
I know what he means. I started listening to the Deftones when I was in the Army. I was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. It was hot! I could relate to that song. This band is in my top 5 all-time!
Shout out, Sac. And the Bay area, S. F.
Deftones, definitely top 10.

The one other deftones song I would recommend is Knife Party.
Yes! Absolutely!
This particular song wasn't in the vampire movie, but their "Change (In the House of Flies)" song is in "Queen of the Damned" OST
this song teleports me back to when I was 15.
My friend gave me a mini-disc with a bunch of sick bands, including this song. I listened to this shit non stop for like two weeks.
Definitely check be quiet and drive and also 7 words...two of my favourites for sure
That opening drum hit gives me a cold chill everytime i hear it.
It’s about hating the sun and the heat of summertime.
“Eels” “Novocain For The Soul”
God yes!!!.the eels was good shit
First tune on 'around the fur' album I believe. Sets the mood let me tell you 😉
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.
"You can't touch the sun, that shit is HOT!!!" Lol.😂😂
This was a first for me.. Grate music no shure about the lyrics, thanks again AKA jamal.
"Can't touch the sun, that shit's hot!" Bahahahaha GOLD
get some aggression out and do deftones "7 words"
Bought this album the day it came out
Best band hands down ... Since 1998...
I'm from Australia and i can't agree more!
Great reaction! Nice job exploring and analyzing of the lyrics. I got the album when it came out. They splashed onto the scene with this big hit. I never have read the lyrics though. I just knew that it rocked.
Deftones one of my favorite bands. This song is SO MEAN & epic. Effing LOVE IT!!!! KEEP ROCKIN DEFTONES!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘
You almost nailed it they did do a song for a vampire movie called queen of the damned but the song was change(house of flies) lol.
Its come from "The Matrix" soundtrack :-P
Please please react to Deftones Knife Party. The drums and the female vocals will blow you away!

They talking about "the sun vanished" haha X) but nah but they could be
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.
.😂😂😂I love his reaction. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ deftones
Passenger next, Maynard is on it !!
I've been a fan of deftones all my life this band is awesome
The pause at 2 MN in is epic!!!
This song was in the matrix, which kinda has the same feel of vampire style to it with the outfits and such.
Love your stuff man, deftones and primus reacts got my attention.
Abe Cunningham is a beast on the drums!!!! & don’t bother wit the lyrics, it will get you no where
Deftones - Royal
YES!
Please react to He Is Legend.
It has to be a song off of I Am Hollywood, their other shit sucks.
I'm loving this content ! Def subbed
Dude there is a great song called "Passenger" which is a collaboration between the Deftones and Tool you should totally check out.
Passenger kind of sucks IMO. People just hype it up because Maynard's on it.
@Remington597man Ty for the correction, I knew this but was the case but just typed tool idk why. *puts down bottle*
That little drum into is into to an album. It sets the tone for everything to come.
If I am correct, My Own Summer, featured as part of the Matrix soundtrack.
