Drunk or not this man has a soul. You can't get bored while listening to him or listening to him at all. Their songs are masterpieces and I don't care if he nails them or destroys them or if he's drunk or on drugs I just don't fuckin care I would spend my whole income to see them live.
It is that intro. Most certainly it is.I get what you mean.But...This is Deftones and what that kid needs to hear and see to be inspired. MUSIC is fun. People take shit to serious .If you've ever label this band as technically corrected. You can't be a fan.Cheers
I always considered Deftones to be the band that mostly intelligent and open minded people listen to. And it really was like that, for years. But now, internet has made them available to these idiots who don't know what a live performance is, what an open-air performance is, what a festival performance is, what a televised performance is, what a sound recording is, what a live performance A/V recording is, what a sound compression is, what a sound conversion is, what "the pocket" is, how to shut the fuck up when I don't know shit about the shit I'm talking about, etc. The list is virtually endless. CheerZ! \m/
Technically deftones music is awkward but the awkwardness of music they produce makes it very artistic and one of a kind. Every song they make is enigmatic and eargasmic. Chino's voice is awful to regular or standard music but it is beautiful and original that when you take away chino as vocals and replace it with another vocals it becomes different and no longer sounds deftones. That is how unique and original Chino's voice is.
Chino's voice is so unique, I'm sure that he can't sing other songs from other artists as well, but he made deftones songs unmatchables and it is why he is my favorite singer, he has an incredible style that no other singers have
Ehh. Id critique this performance more than just the band itself. This is not the best of their ability or even close to it. When they nail it, they nail it.
I love the shit out of thiS band but this beginning had me in tears from laughter. It's like one of those tampered live vids, with titles like "Enter Sandman but it's a complete sh*tshow" only this time it's genuine. Long live the 'tones. Playing drunk is sometimes very much fun. Not for the audience, but you know, one's gotta relax occasionally
Chino’s an incredible artist but shit technically. I doubt he cares tbh and neither do I. Koi No Yokan’s one of the most beautiful records I’ve ever heard.
Hehe... I've played in many bands where the singer used to wanna play something. Brings back some awkward memories! We let one guy tap away completely out of time with some wood blocks on a recording once, just to keep him happy. We ended up having to drown it in reverb and bury it in the back of the mix. I still laugh every time I listen to it!
Not really similar, Chino plays pretty distinct riffs that you can clearly hear in the mixing. There are a lot of songs where he isn’t playing guitar, but when he is you can definitely hear it. I do agree tho. Frontman syndrome is a real thing in a lot of bands lol
You have to understand that Chino's voice is not the same as it was some years ago, he had a problem in his vocal cords. I think is very difficult for a vocalist to give up on singing but you can see on his face and notice how he´s trying so hard to be what he was in his prime time also he´s not 18 anymore. All my R E S P E C T ! to Chino.
I think the deftones were probably more psyched that they got the bassist from Quicksand to join once Chi died. Know your history! I’m sure deftones do!
@@mola55e5 It goes both ways, they are friends for a long time now and deftones were formed before quicksand in 1988. It's not like they just got "the bassist from quicksand", they asked a friend. It was not even the first time, Vega replaced Cheng in the 90's during a tour when Cheng had pneumonia. Quicksand knows their history too.
@@cactus-mcjacktus they kept treating Sergio like he was a hired gun and wouldn’t give him the recognition as an actual member when he has been contributing to the band since the moment he was asked to join. It’s kinda surprising to hear honestly since he was in the band for a while
Chino is messing up on the guitar and they have him drowning out Stephen. Abe is rocking them drums, as always. Sergio has a pile of ramen noodles on his head. 🤘
I last saw Deftones in 2011. Watching Koi No Yokan and Gore era performances bums me out that they never played near me. I will make sure the next record tour cycle to catch them locally or make a trip out of it.
I’ve seen them once post KNY and once post Gore. You didn’t miss anything it’s still all mostly Around the Fur and White Pony, sprinkle some Diamond Eyes and these two songs in the video. I wish I saw them when you did, probably had more Diamond Eyes at least. I love them to death but he’s too old for all the screaming and jumping, they need to start playing the newer shit. I would really enjoy if on the Ohms tour they simply do the whole album and all post 2010 shit. But they love the hits way too much for that to ever happen.
chinos vocals are pretty fucking good knowing how hard it is to sing live, esp adding in all the moving around and shit he does, its nearly impossible to do that while maintaining perfect vocal control. his guitar playing is sloppy here tho ngl. but fr ppl saying this is a godawful performance are wack
Desftones always destroying songs one way or another , but they are geniouses no matter the amount of substances abuse ... way to go chino.. you are a legend ...
Chino is hammered. I've seen them 4 times live and never sounded like this. He is trashed. Still love Defotnes though, been jamming them since Adrenaline was released. Favorites
Any guitarists words probably. He's off beat, clanky, hitting the wrong notes, a bunch of janky gibberish as he forms his chords amd then he doesn't properly strum his chords lol. If I were on stage then I would have been livid
I don't know shit about playing drums, but when Abe smashes the fuck outta his kit there at 7:53, I can't help but find it most excellent. Wish I could of been here.
Wtf is this why they don’t ever perform KNY? Christ Chino get it together 😂 still would honestly kill to hear more of this album live besides these two songs, even a rough version like this
lol, y'all are saying hes messing up on his guitar playing, when in another video of them in the same show performing rosemary, you can see more clearly that the guitar and the electronic components connected to it were messing up.
3:47 the look on those girls faces in the crowd says it all. Lol, Chino is drunk and is a terrible singer. At least he gives it all, doesn't fake it, and puts his energy into the performance. A live Deftones show is all about energy, Stephen & Abe.
I don't know what any of ya'll are talking about...chino sounds good here. way better than he does at 99% of these giant outdoor festivals with terrible mixing...music isn't supposed to be played at noon in the middle of a damn field
How can people say he isn't technical...A consider the style of music B how many records have you made i would love to hear them C 18 yrs of gigging making records and playing live also working as a tech and stagehand ill tell you this is one of the most influential bands for modern rock and what chino dose is incredibly difficult.
Also, that intro was cringey... I'd have liked the camera to cut to Stef's face during it. Tempest is one of my favourite songs and this live version isn't too bad once you get past the intro. Chino's voice is still strong when he's not playing guitar or jumping around everywhere.

How you even know he's on drugs or drunk? That's a commentary
@@shadesofmalice98 don't tell that to me, but to the 100s comments that say so
This is probably one of the worst live performances I’ve ever heard
I GET BOOOOORED
For real
I know chino was fucked up, but this is my favorite video of this song. I feel it that much more.
Guitar masterclass from Chino 😂
I mean, I love Chino but he's not really there for the guitar work lol. Just wanna hear his vocal dynamics.
That intro sounded like a high school talent show
It is that intro.
Most certainly it is.I get what you mean.But...This is Deftones and what that kid needs to hear and see to be inspired. MUSIC is fun. People take shit to serious .If you've ever label this band as technically corrected. You can't be a fan.Cheers
@@unitedivide2789 that intro was GOAT
It’s the audio mixing that makes it sound wack but in reality that shit live sounds dope af
When you realize why he's just the Singer XD.
@@unitedivide2789 smell ass, they are able to play an instrument, it's their job. The intro sounds wack because he could barely play it. XD
I like how in the intro they all have energy, and Stephen's just like "watch this shit man" 1:23
Probably one of the best performances I’ve ever seen
Slippery fingers though
This is probably the best and cleanest I've heard them live in an open air show. Everything sounds clean af

hahaha, that was great!
RESPECT! I LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!!
most nonsense comment ever wtf
Lmao 😂 I was about to go off on such an idiotic comment until you totally redeemed yourself
Muy loko el.xhino
Abe is a freakin beast. DAMN IT I LOVE THIS BAND!
You know Chino is drunk when he starts to dance Salsa at 3:23
Lol 😂
True!! But I love him 🤣😍
You know Chino is drunk since 0:17 XD
One of the greatest deftones live acts. Holy shit.

And Stephen can't play a lick. But all this works, that's fantastic !!
Chino voice is *P E R F E C T I O N* for me!😇😇✨

Metalisgreat Metalisawesome koi no yokan was a perfect follow up to the chaotic brutality that was known as diamond eyes.
@@jessedeleon4123 that could be perceived in 2 ways.. did you fw Diamond eyes? It's top 3 imo
Damien V dude Diamond Eyes is their best album.
@@jessedeleon4123 ok i misunderstood. But Yes it's right behind White pony for me.
but like... why does him "being shit technically" even need to be brought up if its good, then its good I would've thought :p
Abe fkn puttin a beating down on those drums.
He is??? Must have missed it lmfao
I think they just follow the crowd, they puttin down the beat because if they use the original tempo the crowd cant jump along the chorus
My fav band ever!!!! Deftones!!!

Adrián Barraza Have you heard of Myles Kennedy?
It’s cause he injured and still injures his voice. He doesn’t know how to scream properly.
Is just a pleasure seeing this guy's enjoy what they do am jealous !!! Great!!! Love Def
I know that new bassist is just smiling away, thinking, “holy shit life is good I’m fucking jamming with Deftones on stage!!!” Ha 😂

will you shut up
8:07 - no fkn phones in the air
Love this perform pure soul
1:24 Sergio try hard to keep a straight face! LOL
Stephen hates chinos playing. Chinos words in an interview. LUL
Kilt Xan haha he doesn't even look at chino when he comes close, like "back off bitch you're screwing big time"
Do you have a link to that interview? I'd be interested in seeing that.
Tell me which interview 😂
Any guitarists words probably. He's off beat, clanky, hitting the wrong notes, a bunch of janky gibberish as he forms his chords amd then he doesn't properly strum his chords lol. If I were on stage then I would have been livid
They hate each other
i love this...
Been a fan since the 90s
MASTERPIECE
lol 2:10 slippery fingers mate.
Love this songs when it's raining
i love this goddamn band
...Be Good To Each Other...
Si señoras no tan pulido y pulcrito pero esto está lleno de energía brutal hasta LPM !!
this song reminds me too much!ea ch time I cry
Wherever Chino goes on, his Gibson SG are following him 4ever
Okay, Chino is chubby, no longer having the voice he had when he was young. But it is the deftones and deserve respect. 👊
Nivaldo Lisboa he’s never been a trained vocalist or an amazing live singer, even dating back to the 90s
Deftones. There’s no ‘the’. 😇
my god, this pumps
Abe go hard.
J'aaadoooreee !!! (62 years héhéhé)
I don't know shit about playing drums, but when Abe smashes the fuck outta his kit there at 7:53, I can't help but find it most excellent. Wish I could of been here.
Fucking love Chino, but he cannot for the life of him sing 'Swerve City' live :D
Classic SG neck dive
ty
This song was in fast and furious seven
Deftones was Paul Walker's favorite band, from what I've heard.
wish they would've screwed in the mic better. boss play through besides Chino's guitar skills. Sergio did pretty good on those backup vocals too.
lol Chino really riding the struggle bus with that guitar. Good thing his voice carries!
cute smile hahaha 6:40
hahaha yeah
Chino be performing like it’s crosses in this one 😂
Fuckin love this band!!!
💘
Playing shitty on purpose is a slap in the face to everyone.
Lol Chino looks like he's having so much fun. Stephen...i don't know.
good quality
Soundtrip....
Uff...🔥🎸
Is the snare drum OK?
This snare is dead
Lol
All I can say is
fuckin amazing band.
Wtf is this why they don’t ever perform KNY? Christ Chino get it together 😂 still would honestly kill to hear more of this album live besides these two songs, even a rough version like this

I still can't believe how dirty they did Sergio with all the history there... weird.
q hdppppp los amooo!!!! son una locura
Oh god. Can hardly hear stephs killer riffs man. Chino! Learn to play or put it down. Big respect though
big respect though??? 🤡🤡🤡
He sounded like an ass here. Not saying he always does
2:37 BooOomM!!!
Team orange
The Real Stoner Shoegaze!!
Put the SG down Chino...PLEASE🙏👊
Sounds like Smashing Pumpkins “ Doomsday Clock” How did that happen?
I wonder if chino
Is drunk lol. Still ok, but doesn’t sing much swerve city. And messes up a lot. Still love it though. Love deftones
Lol

The band is tight, Chino is the one who fucks up the songs the most.
