The notes that Chino hits in the studio version are absolutely insane. Give the man a break! He was playing the guitar while trying to hit those notes. Fucking love this song. I wish they would play more songs off of Saturday Night Wrist live. Note: seen them in Chicago last month and they played "Beware" ! It was fucking sic.
Boxcar8008 he's an unconventional singer. He's never had good technique, he just does it his way. Consequently he's not always consistent. That being said, he crushed it when I saw them a couple summers ago. Perfect set that night!
I think chinos always pushing himself to give the best performance and blows his voice out, however that almost matches his normal way of singing it's pretty genius that he's always had a kind of off sound that matches his voice when its blown out.
I'd say Limp Bizkits drummer is more underrated. Abe has been getting his roses as of late. Deftones are influential to other bands across the board. People don't like to admit Limp really went in the first two albums. Drummer is unique.
@@kevincollins8620 absolutely agree. John Otto is one of the most underrated drummers of all time. Beats so tight and precise. Him and Abe have been the most influential to my drumming style. They are both absolutely amazing, but have two very different styles of playing
@@phoenixwright9105 underrated is overused lately. Abe is about as underrated as "The Rev". Or Pat Wilson. Or Stewart Copeland. I rarely if ever see Otto mentioned. All the names I've named I can find and play along with their groove. Now all my fellow drummers that have never played along with John... try Rollin. It's fun... but damn near impossible to do clean without breaking it all down to his nuances.
Okta Perdana awww you really hit my heart saying sorry man. I feel you dude I wish he didn't die it sucks hard even more for his friends and family 😥😥 I would hate to feel that pain. the only thing we can do is support the band
Don't know why people are hating on this, Chino still does a wonderful job in spite of those "I hate all ...", that clean voice is something else and it's rare to hear it sound this good (reverb or not), at least on what I've seen of their performances on yt. + Love Abe's drumming indeed, and all the rest.
@@EarlIvoryKnight he was in a serious car accident and was severely injured. Those injuries eventually led to his death. Part of the reason his injuries were so major was that he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.

@@EdenPrime7 i know your comment is 3 years old. But, he says "they all attack sometimes." This has nothing to do with one's taste. It has to do with the pressure the band was putting on him (attack) to finish the album (snw) or they were going to disband. Chi said this in an interview. In his own words. (He comes to the studio, gets in the booth the next day after our talk and starts this "i hate all my friends bullshit." You can say i hate chi cheng for fuck sakes. Just finish the fucking album already." If it sounds like "lactate" (as everyone jokes about) then where does the "s" from taste come in to play?
Hell yeah man, Saints Row 2 had an awesome soundtrack. Great game, too. I always had this song in my custom playlist on there, mind was blown that they had good enough taste to include Deftones on there. I think Saints 3 had another Deftones track as well, "Diamond Eyes" I think.
I remember listening to "Hole In The Earth" randomly while playing and reading Resistance (Game)...i always associate this song to those games oddly enough 😅
I just realized how great of drum part this is. Abe has so many amazing parts, but this one I never fully appreciated until now. This was so good. Thanks for posting.
I can’t imagine how difficult it is to play the guitar, move around, yell the lyrics AND SOMEHOW manage to hit the notes perfectly to sound exactly like the studio version!! Not to mention Chino has been the lead singer in this band the entirety of their 30+ year career so his vocal chords have gone through the works and he’s still super talented!
one word that explains why this band has been around so long : talent. their creativity and devotion to creating beautiful music for us fans will always sustain them. I love these guys so much and will support them by buying their music and going to their shows for as long as they continue to bless us with it.
may not hit all his notes to his own "bloody" songs and neither did bob dylan, but he makes some amazing music to play along with and all of his shytt is easy and fun to sing along with.. i listen to deftones everyday! because i relate to the raw emotion this band has!! they are all about just making good music.. not showing off or trying to be better than the other bands.. rock and roll aint no competition!!
I saw this when it aired. 1st time seeing it since. Can't believe it's been that long. And a reminder of how Chi was such a talent. 😔 miss watching that dude rock in concert
its really hard for some guys to go that high pitched and I dont think his voice was ready for this day that he played. other than the chorus's he did great on his vibrato singing through his diaphram when he sings can you explain to me- ( HOW- 0:57 ) was great! and when he sings can you explain to me-(NOW 1:50 ) its really good. those 2 parts.
It is. And unlike some say… he used to be able to hit clean notes at the very top of his range. He lost the ability to do so around the time “White Pony” dropped, coincidentally he began to sing much more on that album… before he screamed a lot and had to hit like a few high clean notes every now and then… on white pony he had to belt cleans so much more… and probably due to lack of technique he kinda lost his voice. I think he had vocal fold paralysis or something. Also drinking, drugs and neglecting his health overall kinda messed him up big time… he brought it up in an interview. With that being said his stuff is not that easy to sing. Very dynamic… it’s never a straight line with this guy!
I like their newer stuff a lot. But there was just something about Chi’s bass lines that made the songs so powerful. And when playing live, his parts were always very prominent. I don’t hear as much bass from Sergio.
Legendary performance...these late night shows are so goofy and mainstream nowadays. Rare to see a band of this magnitude perform but damn...this is undeniable.
lol i just watched "be quiet and drive far away" also on conan, but from 1998... damn its like watching 2 different singers i don't remember him gaining weight in 2001/2 so it must be around 2004 -
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but...it seems to me that Conan really digs the Deftones. He seems to have them on his show when they drop a new album. Great video!
![Deftones - Hole In The Earth [Official Music Video]](/img/1.gif)
Saturday night wrist probably has Chino's most beautiful vocals. "Beware", "cherry waves", "xerces", "kimdracula", "reverie", etc
I was obsessed with Saturday night wrist for like a whole year, love it
100% agree...Some of the most underrated songs for sure! Especially "Kimdracula" - one of their best!
Unfortunately those all have notes he cannot hit live.
I agree!
Fair call
Gotta give it to Conan, he didn’t say “the Deftones” he said “Deftones”. Props Conan.
They’ve been on it enough before this to get it right too just saying - back to school was great on conan
Steph, the person who literally made the name Deftones says “The Deftones” either way you say it, it doesn’t matter.
It always bothers me when people say THE deftones. Like nah bitch

rip chi, you will be missed. thank you for the music

haha i lost my mind when i saw this live and abe destroyed that cymbal stand haha
2006 this was the album for that year for me.. this song always brings me back... i purposely played this every Saturday night before clubbing
vocals are so spot on.
bro did you even watch
Steph's custom orange ESP looks amazing! I want it! It seems to have bridge pickup only if I see it right (or maybe I need glasses).
Abe with a Tony Stewart guitar! Now that's something I never knew! They like NASCAR!
SNW is my favorite album by Deftones, I wish Chino didn't hate it and the self titled. They hardly play any songs from those albums live.
nice voice good quality sound...
thats got to be frustrating not being able to hit the notes out used to be able to hit.
He never hit them. Watch live performances. Besides being drunk or high doesn't help (referring to the old days)
Ice Kold Killa Ive seen him hit the notes before maybe not perfect but damn close. The Saturday night wrist era was my favorite days of this band.

I hope you also find strenght in it. Take care!
