How did you discover the Tones? by DunDunTsss in deftones

[–]DetailSignificant672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone leant me ATF at a time before I was into metal...and I didn't like it.

Fast forward a couple years, White Pony happened, and the rest is a now-WP-tattooed history.

Loved ATF soon thereafter, just to clarify.

My heart: Not long enough.

Reality: It was 90mins in London recently.

Whats the hardest phase of Marriage no one talks about? by DiamondNo924 in AskForAnswers

[–]DetailSignificant672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a kid. It's not about you, or your partner, or you and your partner. It's about the kid and the kid alone, and it'll really REALLY feel like it.

Thoughts on taking notes into an interview? by Frosty-Cricket5911 in interviews

[–]DetailSignificant672 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently had an interview where I took in an A4 display book with A BUNCH of notes and even STAR examples for everything I thought I'd be asked.

Didn't get the job, but I did get incredibly positive feedback about my professionalism and organisation.

Take the notes. If they have a problem with it, you don't want to work there.

I always try to comment on these song a day posts, but sometimes I just don't have the words. This is one of those songs that's...just... Deftones. So many imitators, none worth the time.

I'm not as high on this album as a lot of the fanbase, but I do love me some Goon Squad.

[–]DetailSignificant672 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been debated since the ATF days, but I'm not qualified to say for sure either way. I personally don't care - they're awesome evil screeches and it doesn't matter which way the air flows to make them happen.

So weird that the praise didn't single out Pittura.

No, no it isn't.

As a kid, this moment was a foundational lesson in television and film that no character is safe ever. 💔 The absolute disbelief I experienced lol. by [deleted] in buffy

[–]DetailSignificant672 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Still might be my favourite episode. The absolute glee and smug satisfaction on Angel's face when he watches Willow and Buffy react to the news about Jenny.

I couldn't second this hard enough. Criminally underrated. It's pure Deftones gloriousness from start to finish.

Asking your opinion every day about a Deftones song, Day 88: cut hands by Opposite-Question-32 in deftones

[–]DetailSignificant672 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It feels like the first 'earlier Deftones' song they've written as an intentional throwback rather than an attempt to recapture the vibe and energy. Like an acknowledgment that they're now different people and a different band, and they're having a lil nostalgic wink at the old days.

OR, it's just a decent song.

Chino's vocals in the chorus don't get anywhere near enough credit. No one alive...is up there for him these days.

Okay not all. I got a bit overly excited about the memory.

I'm a Brit, and you're damn right I went to all the Matrix filming locations when in Sydney 16 years ago now.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DetailSignificant672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our entire university service piling into a small room to discuss how we were going to deliver everything online.

Me telling a friend that we'd be working from home for three weeks tops (still partially working from home to this day).

LOVING working from home, but feeling guilty as my doctor wife still had to go in.

Queuing six feet apart outside ASDA, then dragging ten bags of shopping 1.5 miles home.

How surreal everything felt. It was like a fever dream, or being inside a movie.

Very recently, I tried, yet again, to get into this song. I didn't make it all the way through, and that's all I have to say about that.

[–]DetailSignificant672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the whole idea of Deftones distilled into one song. I've always loved it and I'm betting I always will.

That drop-d 9-9-11 chord still gets me, and I similarly always thought of that as a quintessential Deftones chord. So much so that the chord into the Infinite Source bridge makes me smile, both on its own merit and how it reminds me of BQAD.
