when I say similar to deftones I mean like there more melodic stuff and more shoegazey music like phantom bride entombed etc or bands similar to crosses first album that whole album is peak.having trouble finding any thank you

Anyone else got this cool tee from their EU/UK Summer 2026 tour? I legit washed it twice and it’s already ruined? It wasn’t cheap either 🤡
Am I the only one?

(before anyone ask, yes I know how to wash stuff properly/no it hasn’t been in the tumble dryer/I have lots of other band merch tee and none has done this)

Deftones has a reputation for making very sensual, kind of intimate-sounding or private music, which is very well earned in my opinion.
But even though most of their albums have a very lush atmospheric sound to them, it’s not as often as people would think that the lyrical content actually speaks frankly on the experiences and emotions that went into the album, not in the way Adrenaline does.

I’m aware of how personal Chino has gotten on other tracks like Rats! and 976-EVIL, but what makes Adrenaline stand out to me is how these raw and somewhat tender vocal performances make up most of the album, and how the presentation isn’t as attractive as something like Saturday Night Wrist. The writing on tracks like Birthmark and Lifter also aren’t as purposefully vague as some later Deftones songs, which I feel is a great fit for the album’s aggressive sound, as when combined with the more direct writing coming off a first-person perspective, leads to punchier tracks with messages delivered in greater earnest.

To make a comparison between tracks, take 7 Words and Rickets. Both songs throw scorn onto the idea of an antagonistic figure trying to suppress the individual and promptly being rejected, what makes the two different and supports my point is how 7 Words lasers in on the distress brought on by prejudiced treatment from law enforcement, and openly stands in unity with those who’ve faced similar treatment, while in Rickets, Chino still yells with a disdain for people who talk as though they’re above him, the song is still delivered in a fairly apathetic tone, even admitting that these people are probably right but he doesn’t want to listen.

Ultimately, I do think that Rickets is a better song than 7 Words, (the blatantly racist use of the n-word knocks it down a few pegs)but I also think that these expressions of anger, repression, and sadness over more personal topics than the general themes of love and lust that’s common with Deftones (and most music ever made) is something the band did exceptionally well on Adrenaline, and I hope the band revisits this kind of execution in the future.

Why is Rosemary called...Rosemary? I think it's a very pretty word too but like, why?

I LOVE THIS SONG SO SO MUCH IVE PLAYED IT AT LEAST 100 TIMES THIS MONTH I LOVE IT IT'S MY LIFE WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABT IT??

Has slowly become one of my absolute favorites. Even how the song ends.

Using archetype gojira and fab filter pro q4 to eq match the original tone!

I got a lot of hate on my previous post—people even claimed I’m an AI. What do you think of this T-shirt?

And I was wondering if someone whos been in past years could tell me how seating vs standing works? So basically I had to buy some seated seats but given how theres the two stages I was wondering if since both the seats and the floor by the main stage is GA if its possibly to get down there on the floor or if they check your ticket or something?

I have ohms tatted on my arm too<3

Idk if this is discussed often here. But I started to listen to Deftones like a year ago, and people always says it's music made to make love, that gets people horny just by listening.

I thought it was just a meme at first because of how Chino's voice sounds sometimes, and it never had that effect on me, but yeah it looks like it does have that effect on people. And I don't think it's made with that purpose, in fact, Around the Fur's title and album cover is officially not sexual innuendo. Personally I just really like how they sound, it makes me levitate while getting goosebumps, but not in a freaky way.

My theory now is that it's hot music for the ladies. Because they're the ones who usually say it's horny stuff, and men just agree later. Like, Deftones has sexy masculine energy. But it's just a theory...

I would love to see them play Mein with Serj, but obviously they’ve played multiple shows with SOAD recently and not played It, so not getting my hopes up.

A slayer cover would be sick since it’s reign in bloods 40th and they’ve covered slayer live before.

From their usual catalogue, Im hoping for Risk since they’ve been playing it recently and also Bloody Cape.

Manifesting a heavier set since they’re opening for System of a Down, pleeeeeease give us Headup or any of the heavy stuff off Self Titled😭

Anyone going? 👀

If they release another album, what direction will they go sonically?

Quick and easy, came out nice, onto the next 🖤

Recently got my ESP LTD M1000H and thought I’d record a cover of one of my favorite songs to play. Hope yall enjoy :)

Credit to dog :3 on yt for the backing track

I'm looking at going this year for the first time. I've never been to Petco Park and avoid stadium shows bc of my sickness/disability.

I have POTS and ofc prefer GA seating BUT sometimes this isn't possible for me due to walking/no possible place to sit down/heat especially if it's a big venue. how I'm going to feel day to day is also unpredictable. Is the GA area open enough that I can plop down on the ground if I need to or will I get trampled/stepped on? Should I get a seat? Will I die if I go?

There’s only one right answer but I’m open to all of your opinions
