Deftones

[The Doctor]

Just listened to Diamond Eyes again for the first time in many months. This album is still so damn good. I remember the first time I heard this album I sat up until like 3am listening to it on repeat, jaw practically on the floor. Hard to believe they produced one of their career highlights in the face of losing an integral member of the band. Also, I think "976-EVIL" is a very underrated song. To me it has the vibe they seemed to be going for on Saturday Night Wrist, but with much more focus and much better lyrics.

i think thats the sole reason the deftones are still viable artistically. besides parts of adrenaline, and a few on saturday night wrist imo, most of their songs last over time. great band all around.

[Millionaire]

Loving these instrumentals. I've always assumed Chino's voice was the major thing that separated Deftones from other heavy bands, but listening to these, its very clear to me that everyone in the band is extremely talented. If they released an instrumental album it would still be great.

One other thing: Those regulars on the sharinglungs board...ummm, yeah.

Yeah, I go there to lurk and look for good downloads, but that's about it. Some of those frequent posters just seem irrational and overly intense about stuff. It's why I appreciate this board so much and why I would much rather talk about other topics I like on this board than go somewhere else. I think this board has large number of rational, intelligent people that can have discussions that don't devolve into name calling and petty crap. At least that I've seen.

[Wretchedest]

Oh, yeah sharinglungs is maybe the worst board i have ever seen. I go in, do my business, and try to leave without reading anything else... Lol

Team Sleep has returned.

For a whopping FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS here you can witness it all.

“Dear friends,
Please join us as we create our next record in Woodstock, New York. We’ll gather at Applehead studio, near the base of the Catskill mountains to eat, write, play and record. For a long time, business people, logistics, careers, adulthood, families and the House Republicans have thwarted us, but we’ve continued to make music. At the same time, the creative process has become increasingly fragmented and dehumanized.
With that in mind, we’re very excited to get together with our dear friends, hang out, play music and have a unique experience in a beautiful place. We’d like you to be there, too. Your participation will be essential to the independent creation and release of the live performance and our forthcoming studio record; we look forward to seeing you.
Chino Moreno
Todd Wilkinson
Crook Molina
Zach Hill
Rick Verret
Chuck X“

daaaaamn... $500 eh? that's a bit steep, but just a little bit enticing. if this was the same thing for say seeing the Deftones do their thang, that would be an easy "Yes!" i did enjoy Team Sleep's stuff.

hey, whatever happened to those mini-live releases? i know they did one for Adrenaline... what happened to Around The Fur's? i thought it was going to be a series

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

This is EXCELLENT news!!!! I fucking love Team Sleep and still own about 63 tracks from the set up. I'm wondering if the disc has any songs I don't have??? I would love to witness this deal but that is just too much money. I wanna know what the dam hoodie is gonna look like.... dammit.

[perceptionnexus]

TS is a band I always thought never reached its full potential, really glad to see they're giving it another go. Always has been my favorite of Chino's non-deftones output.

[screwdriver]

hmmmmmmm
this might happen

They got scrapped due to lack of interest in the project. Someone from SharingLungs created the Around The Fur one as an April Fools joke earlier this year, and then once people got really stoked on that, I think they decided to the rest of the series themselves, but I haven't followed up to see if they've completed any other ones.

thanks richardp, pretty much i should grab the Adrenaline live on vinyl since it's gonna become a real collectior's item one day after the rest of the releases were scrapped???
i did think it was a little dumb just having a few live tracks. would have been better if they put out a full show recorded from each different album era.

[Wretchedest]

fuuuuuck gotta get to new york though goddammit

[Kodiak33]

I think that's a pretty good value actually.

[The Doctor]

Lack of interest from whom? They were a limited Record Store Day item. I bet if they would have given it a digital distribution, it would have generated much more buzz and interest.

The record label and consumers. That Adrenaline release didn't really sell for shit, and if I remember correctly it took like a month for the 1,000 copies on Deftones.com to sell out. For something that people weren't exactly chomping at the bit to scoop up, I highly doubt Maverick Records was willing to shell out all the cash to do 6 more releases of that. I agree, it should all be release digitally, but as for each release getting pressed, that shit's dead in the water.

You have 63 unique Team Sleep songs? Damn, homie.

I'm still a huge fan of this album.



It's kind of a shame that Maverick sabotaged their debut and, as Chino said, "sucked the wind from the sails". They were really onto something great with this first album. I hope the break has rejuvenated the spirit of the group.

I love the album and seeing them perform Smashing Pumpkins' "The Aeroplane Flies High" was an amazing concert highlight!

If you know where I can get a download of this unmastered version of the album, somebody please PM me.

[TheyCallMeDrug]

you might have some luck at sharinglungs.com

guy who posted it on youtube is an arse and wont share.

a slightly different version has been floating around forever now in 192 kbps quality for like a decade though

[Amaro]

Get a Team Sleep room, please.

I'm in a bad mood, or else I would make the thread myself. But I also have never liked the band so that wouldn't be right.

[Wretchedest]

But there are already 3 threads for bands Chino is in and they all have pretty similar discussions!

[Amaro]

I don't see how that makes Team Sleep discussion worthy in the Deftones thread.

[Piko]

One thread combining all Chino/Deftones related things would be fine with me...

[Amaro]

Crosses thread is doing just fine, a Team Sleep one would do the same.

It's not a matter of saving the site from more information being created, but of sparing the annoyance of having to take a moment to discern if what's being discussed in a given post is Deftones, Palms, Team Sleep, or Crosses related.

[nobies]

Yes, because the thread is just so busy.

[think i'm a fire engine]

There is definitely that brief moment of "OMG DEFTONES NEWS????...........*click*......oh, no, damn"

[Amaro]

Simple fucking principle.

I will now leave the Team Sleep thread.

[nobies]

y u haff to be mad

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Ohhh you guys.... I'll make the dam TS thread
