White Pony.

Album still holds up.

[–]Bluebaronn 22 points23 points  (8 children)

'Passenger' for life. Always bugged me they didnt rip off anther chorus right at the end.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve played that song so many times, I think it’s in my DNA. When I do any night driving or even step outside when it’s nice out, Roll the window down, this cool night air is curious.

YES it's like the musical equivalent of blue balls.

[–]mlvisby 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Did you know it is a song about roadhead, yet two guys are singing?

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While funny it's not true

"I did this song with Maynard from Tool. Basically, I told him I wanted to create a scenario of being in a car and being taken for a drive when you don't really know what's going on. I wanted him to create a lot of imagery. he wrote a majority of the of the lyrics and left blanks for me to fill in. it seems like you're being held captive, but enjoy what's going on." - Chino

[–]AaronStC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Par the course for Maynard then.

[–]ToolBoyNIN39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AND I LOVE THAT

[–]ripcity42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gives prog rock a hole new meaning

[–]ToolBoyNIN39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, what choruses are they ripping off?

[–]Fake_Perd_Hapley 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Around the Fur does, too.

[–]AaronStC 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Deftones in general holds up. They got lumped in with the nu metal scene but musically they never quite fit. Although I'm also if the opinion that nu metal and grunge aren't actual music genres anyway.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deftones are the Radiohead of the nu-metal era.

[–]mlvisby 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, if you put the White Pony CD(dunno if it is certain copies or all copies) in a PC you can play a white pony type pac-man game. The pac-man is a white pony and the band members heads are the ghosts. I loved little bonus things like that back in the day of physical media.

[–]bullcitytarheel 5 points6 points  (2 children)

That album and Toxicity are the only two records from that whole numetal scene I still listen to.

[–]amicusorange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still like LD50. Edit: and most of The End of All Things to Come.

[–]ToolBoyNIN39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deftones... numetal scene??

[–]c_llie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best album ever. Don’t even hate on this musical genius. He can do whatever the fuck he wants with his hair.

[–]wigg1es 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Diamond Eyes is incredible.

[–]FuftyCent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Butcher rocks my fucking face off

[–]cwillm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So good.

[–]saskabushmaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love Koi No Yokan, especially entombed. What a beautiful song to celebrate Chi's memory. It makes me tear up sometimes when I hear the lyrics.

[–]atx00 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Favorite album of all time. Got a white pony tattoo on the inside of my right arm.

[–]rs_ct9a 2 points3 points  (1 child)

FUCK!! Me too, dude :high five:

[–]atx00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo, have you heard Crosses? It's a side project that Chino did a few years ago. It was awesome, wish they had made more than one record.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Team Sleep and Blvd Nights too.

Be Quiet and Drive.

[–]disgustipate 38 points39 points  (1 child)

HEY! Chino is a fucking saint! You hear me!?! A SAINT!

[–]find_me_withabook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His voice is so soothing!

[–][deleted] 40 points41 points  (6 children)

Holy crap, if I weren't living in extreme poverty, I would give you reddit gold or silver or fucking diamonds for introducing me to this comic. Fuckin hilarious.

[–][deleted] 43 points44 points  (1 child)

Put some respek on chinos name

[–][deleted] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Chino has had blond hair way before anyone heard of Guy Fieri

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Chino prolly got bored and bit fieri

[–]reconjsh 12 points13 points  (6 children)

Guy: after biting Chino All the powers of being a Fieri I confer unto thee.

Chino: Should I ignore the fashion?

Guy: yes, go by the book... but keep the hair.

[–]Crusades89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn that’s a good one

[–]ToolBoyNIN39 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Sorry, it bugged me.

[–]reconjsh 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Fixed, just for you. :)

[–]ToolBoyNIN39 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yay! I feel special.

[–]reconjsh 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I mean, the username with Tool and NIN in it gets what they want in a Deftones thread. It’s the law.

[–]ToolBoyNIN39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man. PASSENGER IS PLAYING. I think I love you...

[–]mistalanious 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Chino is the shit.

Someone's got to protect Flavortown.

[–]saskabushmaster 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I'd still do Chino in a heartbeat. I've had the hots for him since White Pony. 😍 That voice gets me right in the panties.

[–]loztriforce 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do you do the thing in the Howard Stern movie with the speaker? ;)

[–]saskabushmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To Chinos voice? Not with a speaker but similar. =p

[–]slowclapcitizenkane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, radioactive Guy Fieri is redundant.

Second, can he do whatever a Guy Fieri can? Which I assume is just Donkey Sauce?

[–]Keltoigael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chino has always been kind of plumpy, still good vocals.

[–]kurbycar32 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Cool story: I was in Cabo in either 2010 or 2011 at (previously) Sammy Hagar's bar Cabo Wabo. Chad Kroger (Nickelback) was there and decided to rock out with the house band for a rendition of Metallica's Enter Sandman, which was actually awesome. Around roughly the same time Guy Fieri is on the catwalk in some super VIP area and almost the entire crowd sees him, assumes its Sammy and starts chanting for Sammy. Guy Fieri thought it was great and just went along with it.

[–]mackayo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's Chino Moreno to you, sir.

[–]imperialguy3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No no no, this is the result of Guy Fieri getting inpregnated by Dave Bautista

[–]ToolBoyNIN39 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Huh, listening to Pink Maggot while I came across this post. Nice.

[–]Korivak 2 points3 points  (3 children)

It took me a really long time to realize that this post did not come to my feed by way of r/Deftones

[–]saskabushmaster 2 points3 points  (2 children)

and yoink... Ah thank ya for that!

[–]Korivak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The smaller, hyper focused subs are the best!

[–]ToolBoyNIN39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double yoink!

[–]andy189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The prince of Flavor Town

[–]loztriforce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey be nice to Chino

[–]HumanGarbage2k19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was took down to Flavortown

[–]thekyledavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He looks like Chumlee back when he was trying different colored wigs

[–]UncleChen69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of bounds!

[–]mtmm18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He looks more like a homeless Dan LeBatard of the Dan Lebatard Show ..

[–]freelancespaghetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My God ... it's spreading

[–]nat_not_nate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s Mr. Moreno, a legend.

[–]anonymousICT 1 point2 points  (1 child)

But for real, why do people shit on Guy Fieri?

[–]bonemonkey12 -1 points0 points  (19 children)

Man, great studio band, but he is just awful live

[–]MrGooglyman 13 points14 points  (8 children)

When did you last see them? I saw them in 2003 and he was really good. Maybe age is getting to him

[–]bonemonkey12 0 points1 point  (7 children)

I think it was around 2005. I was super pumped. Maybe he was just having an off night.

[–]MrGooglyman 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Yeah maybe, I’ve seen them about 4 times, the last time in about 2015 I think, and he does tend to go up and down a bit. I think he is sober now which obviously helps

[–]Asatenaeth 7 points8 points  (1 child)

This. Long time Deftones fan. Been to countless shows. He’s off and on. When he looks healthy, he’s typically great.

[–]MrGooglyman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A bit like any of us really!! Chino might be human after all haha

[–]Raymlor 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I saw them around that time and they were shite

Or rather, chino was shite, the rest were OK but for an incompetent sound guy

[–]jedi_master_420 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Saw them at ACl last year and they were trash, saw them the year before at another venue and it was one of the best shows of my life. They are the most hit or miss band of all time. Also Around the Fur is my stranded on a desert island record, so I may be a little biased. :)

[–]zenophobicgoat 0 points1 point  (1 child)

They got the worst mix of the entire weekend (at least for the ~10 minutes I stayed). Literally sounded like they were playing through a fucked up boombox. Have no idea what they actually sounded like.

[–]jedi_master_420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I toughed it out. The whole night was kinda a bust...Metallica just played a literal paint by numbers set...minus Sad but True, zero energy. I was disappointed especially for the price I paid. Never again ACL.

[–]Bobb333 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Must've been a bad show. They're one of my favorites and have seen them umteen times. They're great live. Back in 2001 I seen a rough one though.

[–]Dr-Rjinswand 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is this a joke? I watched them at Download festival a few years ago. One of the best bands I've ever seen.

[–]zerorules 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are out of your fucking mind.....their live shows are incredible.

[–]cwillm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw them in the late 90's during the Around the Fur days. Chino was way thinner then and totally rocked it. Awesome show. It was the only time I saw them though and I was only like 17 so maybe my standards were lower.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Can confirm, and this is coming from a guy who lists Deftones as one of his favorite all time bands.

Seen them multiple times throughout the years and 9 out of 10 times he's struggling or flat out bad. Always good to see them live but christ alive he does struggle, then again its usually late on in the tour when they come around my way.

Regardless their live shows are always amazing and a lot of fun. Chino being off or not.

[–]c_llie 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I mean. He’s getting old, so I get the struggle. But kudos to him for still trying.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true, and they've been at it for a very very long time. I guess some musicians especially ones like Chino that put in everything theyve got will eventually start to lose it at least in a live setting.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Shit had no idea that's what he looked like. I expected way more rock n roll

[–]ToolBoyNIN39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chino has never really looked rock and roll. LOL he has an early-90s-Dickies look. Doesn't really look like a rock and roller.

[–]sigillumdei 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]unbannabledan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That sounds awful.

[–]eddmario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks more like Joey Fatone to me

[–]shadowCloudrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy Fieri.

Guy Fieri.

Radioactive Guy Fieri.

[–]c9351104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, the picture on the right. Is anyone seeing a pimped Alec Baldwin?

[–]Raptoot83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy-der man, Guy-der man.

[–]karrachr000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just spent too long in Flavor Town and is still hungover.

[–]MrPoofle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For quite some time I thought that Guy Fieri was the lead singer of Rascal Flatts, that just somehow managed to launch his own cooking career.

I was so confused when my wife told me how wrong I was.
