Saturday Night Wrist: The Album that (Almost) Broke Deftones
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лют 2021
- The beauty and aggression that characterizes Deftones' music almost perfectly matched the emotions in the band. Saturday Night Wrist was no exception but the creation of this album was at the apex of what the band called their "dark days."
Deftones as a band, for a moment in time, was done.
Beware is one of their best songs ever
I love how it starts.
I love that track and Combat
@@the_henchman4268 combat is a banger
@@RicTrifecta Damn right it is!
Kimdracula man 🔥
Love this album, Beware, Cherry Waves and Kimdracula are simply the best
Kimdracula and Riviere finish off the album as my favorite finale to any album ever. So beautiful.
Same!
agreed.
yes
Agree to all but Xerces... I just sing that for days sometimes cause it gets in my head. It's haunting yet beautiful at the same time.
SNW doesn’t sound like any other Deftones album. One of my favorites
Each album is great with its own vibe . SNW is their big pink Floyd sounding masterpiece. Ezrin helped a lot with that
Totally agree, I dont get the hate, I love so many tracks off this album. Its amazing.
Thats what Im saying. SNW is great.
@@adamwhatley4710 I do with it had a coupppe more heavy tracks though. And Steph has a strange fuzzy tone probably because ezrin never did 7 string that low . But it’s still a masterpiece. Listening now to it waking in summer sun . It’s magical
My favorite album, although they're all amazing
Let's not forget Chi's beautiful bass line on Cherry Waves...we miss you Chi
😢
YES! yes and YES! I miss chi so much. His basslines were legendary
I swear I've never understand why SNW gets so much hate! It's literally my fav album from them! Man, it's dark, deep and it has some really great tunes, like: Beware, Cherry Waves, Xerces, Kimdracula... Even the cheat code one is great! I don't understand the hate and I never will! Love this album to death
This is like the “Desintegration” of Deftones, their darkest album IMO.
The sound of heaven and hell
Pornography is far darker than Disintegration.
both dark albums and some of my favorite cure records.
You hit it right on the head
Disintegration or wish
Your both right but in truth the cure was flat out great. Every album spoke to my soul
Xerces is in my top 5 Deftones tracks, and Cherry Waves is heaven
I remember when hole in the Earth came out as their leading single. That’s gotta be rough to hear your band on the edge of breaking up all over the radio stations at the time. His line about hating all his friends really stood out and him being out, done with it. Glad they stuck around for all the great music to come later. Snw still has some of my all time favourites like xerces and kim dracula.
i ididn't really care for the ST album when it came out, aside from anniversary, so the band kinda dropped of my radar. i remember hearing "hole..." on the radio the first time and thought wow this sounds a lot like the deftones then realized it was and i got really excited. i think snw may be my favorite album of theirs. it doesn't quite capture the magic of wp but imo it comes real fucking close.
Xerces and Kimdracula are metal GREATS!!!!
What makes Saturday Night Wrist so good is Chino's vocal struggle, like a broken angel, especially on Cherry Waves. But I still say RatsRatsRats! is my favorite song of the record, that got my through my own dark period foreal.
"Pulverizingly gorgeous" is possibly the best description of SNW that I've ever heard.
Fantastic video, you can really feel your passion for the band.
What I love about deftones is that I relisten to albums/songs and refall in love with them and listen to them over and over then move on to the next like a marry go round. I'll never get sick of them, favorite band ever.
Right on Mark! I act and feel exactly like you in reference to how we go about consuming Deftones music. We are not alone.
Sooo true
I do the same thing. One week MX is my favourite the next Korea the next When girls Telephone boys like it’s always switching but I always come back around like you said
"but I'm such a fucking fanboy!" I love it, you wouldn't have a valid opinion without self realization. Thank you
Hole in the earth was the first Deftones song I ever heard. I was hooked after that.
Heroin addicts are jealous because I don’t need to shoot up to get high when snw exists
How can you not be with that opening riff?
omg me too!!! it's intoxicatingly good
hahaha me too!
Saturday Night Wrist was the first album that got me hooked on deftones. I was straight out of high school, worked, didn't attend college yet, my friends started coming apart and I was lost. The music from Saturday Night Wrist and Team Sleep filled that void for me, musically.
About the same, I think Change was the first song I really knew of, then this album... ~QOTD soundtrack, is when they hit my radar.
@@Your-BestNightmare Wow, same. Before SNW, I remember the music video of Change on MTV in middle school, but still vaguely knew anything about Deftones until SNW came out, then really got into the band.
@@Your-BestNightmare My wife only knew about Deftones by having the QOTD soundtrack as well by the way, interesting!
Me too. Class of 06'. I remember this album coming out on Halloween.
I can't believe this doesn't have more views. Really tastefully done. Hopefully you do more on all things Deftones. Ps. wouldn't mind seeing a video on Team Sleep(greatest single release ever put out)
dope suggestion and thanks for the love
More deftones please . Do each album then make a play list lol
Natalie Portman and Your Skull is Red are BEAUTIFUL songs 💛😭😭😭
Natalie Portman will be my funeral song, it's decided 🤣. One of the most perfect things I've ever listened to.
@@GhoulReviews I'm coming to your funeral then
At the time it released I was an overnight janitor and would play the album through the night in the building I was cleaning over the PA. It hit all the right tones for how I felt back then, I was 21.
Damn vibes
Deftones is such a beautiful band with a unique sound. Their music reminds me a lot of Salvador Dali paintings with frustration, chaos, questioning of human existence, yet beauty also. Their reach is fantastic and that's why I love the Deftones Vault: B-Sides and Rarities album so much. Ohms has been a fantastic new album from them that shows they still are making awesome music. "Ceremony" is amazing.
14:09 Damn, do I really know that feeling. Every time I listen to the title track of Ohms, it still breaks me. When it came out in august, I instantly made the personal connection that the lyrics are about reflecting on a loved one passing on. “It’s too late to cause a change in the tides…” “We slip into our hopeless sea of regret” “We promise to meet again somewhere”… “Time won’t change this.” Every time I hear this song I still cry like a bitch.
The day the album dropped, my friend and I were listening through the album for the first time, in awe. I could tell it something special by them on the first listen. Just as the title track was about to transition from Headless, my other friend who was lagging ass walked in the door. I instantly could tell something was wrong.
Before he came in, he just got a call that two of our good friends, one he was dating at the time, were in a really bad car wreck. One of them died on impact, and his girlfriend was in critical condition. I could never hear ohms the same way again. I miss you so much Aria and Sophie ❤️❤️
A couple weeks after all that, I came back from a party and found my cat behind the couch covered in blood. Blood kept coming out of his penis, and I had to watch him deteriorate over the next few hours until the vets near us opened. When I brought him in there was nothing they could do… I had to make the decision to put him down right there. Nordica was such an amazing soul, gone far too soon ❤️
Everything from that month completely destroyed me. Ohms helped get me through one of the darkest times of my life. Thank you for everything Deftones ❤️❤️
And thank you for making this. You made an extremely high quality video, you deserve a lot more views! I hit that subscribe button 🤘🤘
really sorry to hear about your losses. thankfully the music helps us to heal and to cherish what we still have
I got into Deftones late. Listened to all their albums cover to cover last month. It’s tough for me to really rank their albums but I think Saturday Night Wrist and Koi No Yokan are at the top of my list.
I really connected with this album because it feels really dark, like there was a lot of shit coming out in it. It has a sense that this was the pain that had to be exorcised before they could move forward and I could feel it and I enjoyed the frustration I heard and felt throughout it. It just feels way more raw and vulnerable than any other release in my opinion and I’m so grateful to have this album to listen when I feel I’m getting unstable, like a therapy session that can help release those demons and help the light come back.
Favorite on this album is Kimdracula. Perfect combo of Chino's dreamy melodies and Steph's crushing riffs.
100% agree. This album sounds like nothing they’ve done. This is my favorite Deftones album. The album sounds like it’s on drugs, it has an amazing backstory, and it’s Chi Cheng’s last album with the band. Love this album. Long live Deftones
Kimdracula was one of THE best songs they’ve released
That's my favorite song off of SNW.
I was once at a boxing match where a fighter used it for his entrance. Got me hyped!
@@whaddyathink949 based
I heard this album when I was 11. Thanks to my sister introducing them to me a year before with Around the Fur. Played their music for many years on the drums. So very happy that they stayed together. Them and Incubus have a very special place for me musically
Thank you for making this. SNW is severely underrated and easily one of my favourite Deftones albums. "Pulverizingly gorgeous". I loved this because I couldn't agree more. This album contains so much luscious tone and beauty. It really takes you to another universe.
This is one of the most forward thinking albums ever imo.
Hole in the Earth is literally Chino melting down off that shit and blaming everybody else, and the rest of the band rolling their eyes and dope slapping him into getting his shit together, by making even this ridiculous bitchfit into a classic! Rapture is them coming back together and pushing through their shit as a single force, and Beware is Chino committing his lowest point to memory as he swears off everything that lead them there... It's literally The Death and Rebirth of Deftones, all in these three songs.
Defrones has an undefeated streak of classic albums. Even their early shit still slaps, when you need to turn tf up Adrenaline and Around the Fur still get you there faster than anything else from that era!
This is an awesome mini doc. Thank god Deftones didn't split during those years! One new sub for you and I look forward to what's to come 🤘
I've watched all the deftones videos you've released. I'd love to see some more; more specifically, their self-titled album. Thank you for making these videos.
Soooo fucking Underrated. I might even say it is my favourite Deftones album.
For me what makes this album stand out is the same with the band. I was going through a dark time, nothing too bad but still. It wasn't until a little while after the album dropped that I learned about this. It made everything click for me.
You moved me with this vid bro. Thank you for making it
Going to go revisit snw now, great work on this. 🤙
Love the narration. Well done!
Great video man!
I look forward in seeing your UA-cam career progress with great interest
This album is constantly in contention with White Pony for my favourite Deftones record and it's always nice to know what goes on behind the scenes. Xerces is one of the very few songs in existence to rip tears straight out of my face.
I appreciate this video. I love this album and I'm grateful you made this. Thanks
Deftones has always released albums at important times in my life. For SNR i just got out of bootcamp. My girlfriend of 4 years left me right before i left. I was in great lakes Illinois for the time being (waiting to go to school in florida). It was winter, i didnt know anybody. So i would take my walkman and sit in the smoke pit and listen to the album. Thats what i think of when i hear snw. Sitting in the smoke pit at night in the cold, trying to process the life changing things that had just happened to me. I had no idea they were even putting a new album out. Perfect timing as always
Good balance of your opinions mixed with the history/facts of the band. Kudos and RIP Chi Cheng
I was deployed to Iraq, when this album came out. I remember the album was on sale at the PX (military store) a week or so after the album release date. I was so happy hearing this album. It's special. I love it. Deftones has been my favorite band since 2002-2003, when I first heard them.
great video man. just had this pop up in my recommended. beware is my favourite song, with kimdracula being close 2nd on SNW.
The turmoil translates and it is all relatable to many fans Im sure. Thats a great album
Well done man, I really enjoyed watching this.
I love SNW... Yes... Please keep up these wonderful Deftones studies. They make for great content. Thank you!
I remember dedicating two months sincerely listening only to this album. It was overwhelming. What an album. Great video 🖤
Love your videos man!
Amazing overview. I appreciate the approach as a fan.
I love the message about British people in Saturday Night Wrist.
Its why they have bad teeth lol
huh?
@@whaddyathink949 hes talking about pink cell phone lol
This is such a good watch well done
This was very insightful. Well done
this is my favorite album ever and cherry waves is my favorite song ever. got tears in my eyes watching this just remembering the growing up i did to these songs
i just came across this channel and saved this video to my watch later. then i see all your other videos and say wow this channel has ton of content with my name written all over it. you just got a new subscriber🤘🏻
glad to hear it! 😃
I think you did a fantastic job on this video dude. I love it and couldn’t agree more. I love deftones
Excellent video!
omg i can't imagine this album and future albums not coming out. they're such a part of my life
Great work brother 🖤
In 2007 I was on a flight from Chicago to California. I was listening to Hole in the Earth and just looking out the window. It was beautiful.
My dark days were the same as theirs. I feel I went through it with them because their music was always there for me and made sense to me.
My darkness was not from drugs but from being married to an absolute gorgeous narcissistic sociopath who did unspeakable things to my son and I. We had a baby a year after we married and he was born deaf and with special needs. I have had full custody of him for twelve years now. She literally left the country and abandoned our son completely after I got physical custody of him and we haven't heard from her since.
Whenever I listen to music it immediately takes me right back to a specific period of time and/or a memory. Cherry waves and Xerces are two of my absolute favorite songs!
This was an amazing documentary about their history and the split that we all knew almost happened. Thank you.
Well put together 👏👏
I was late to the Deftones party. Hole in the Earth at 12 was the first song I ever heard and I loved it. 16 yrs later, theyre one of my favorite bands
I went to several Deftones concerts in my life, the one I went to that had a double show back to back days, on the final day I was jamming out by mimicking Stephen's guitar riffs and at the end of the concert, Stephen literally clasped hands with me and gave me his guitar pic. I still have it and made it into a necklace.
I was front row, and 99% of everyone was focused on Chino. I spent the entire first day of the concert focused on Chino too, but that second day was all about my love for guitar. Cool fact too, the first day of the concert me and Chino literally had identical knee high socks lol.
My favorite album by Deftones! They haven't made a crappy album!
Loads of inisght, thanks mate. Wonderful time to be into metal, weird trippy music, and Deftones.
Great video man. Honestly, it’s hard for me to pin point which Deftones album is my absolute favorite however Saturday Night Wrist might arguably be it!
Beware, Cherry Waves, Xerces, Rivière & Hole In The Earth are the best songs on the album even though I love the whole project. I love the echoey drumming before Chino’s verses in Cherry Waves, Chino’s raspy yet soothing tone in the song, and how the riff just flows with the waves along with the parts that add tension with the faster drumming & “dirty” guitar sound and the detailed atmosphere with the background sounds. Xerces has this groove to it where it feels like everything is slowing down and melting in time besides Abe, giving you this sense of just barely staying in touch with reality until the chorus. When the chorus comes in, it’s as if time is still moving slowly but the memories are flashing in your head and you’re having sensory overload. Beware’s intro would make you think a moshpit is about to open. The fluctuating tension of Beware gives a literal sense of danger coming and I like how it reminds of the Jaws track while talking about dangerous waters. The ending speaks for itself. Absolute madness
Stef's SNW guitar play-throughs on youtube made me fall in love with this album again
Great fucking video! Deftones is my favorite band and your video is on point! You got a new supporter of your videos. Thanks!
One of my favorite albums of all time if not favorite. Definitely the most relistenable of my faves reminds me of so many different phases of my life for the simple fact I come back to it so often
SNW is brilliant. The beautiful thing about Deftones for me is that their albums shift for me in which ones I favor. One year my favorite record is ATF and the next it’s KNY so and so forth. Deftones are in my top 3 favorite bands. What an unbelievable run they’ve been on.
Nine Inch Nails and Deftones are my two top favourite bands of all time.
Sonic Youth, Queens of The Stone Age, Tool and Radiohead belong in top band lists
Great video. This album is truly underrated.
SNW 4 LIFE
Damn this video is really well done, Deftones white pony got me into metal and it’s so awesome to see the period after that time documented so well!
I own their whole discography even Team Sleep and Palms, and there isn't another band this prolific that I can say that about.
And Crosses of course
Deftones will always stand out. They’re one of a kind.
no
@@IAMMRONALD why no?
@@maxdamenace cause i said no
@@IAMMRONALD lol
@@IAMMRONALD Did fantano tell you that or did you form your own opinion?
7:49 Dude... WHAAAAAAAT?!? You're from Sacramento and you're reppin' Dodgers gear?
Damn... breaks my heart. And I KNOW I've seen Abe wearing a Giants cap in some videos before...
Actually my favorite Deftones album.
Been a fan of Deftones since around the fur but drifted away from them over the years and are rediscovering them now. Back in the day there was no iTunes so even if you liked a band you maybe never even heard all their stuff cause most people couldn’t afford to buy every CD. So I’m enjoying listening to everything after White Pony and am mad at myself for not listening sooner. SNW is so different from but it’s great
I'm loving these videos dude, I'm a big Deftones fan and I'm learning a lot of new info still. This is probably my least favourite Deftones album but it's still great !
That was awesome, thanks.
Im a big Deftones fan, and I love saturday night wrist album, white pony, and around the fur. They are a really unique band, they have their own style. Witch is rare today !
admire your passion for deftones man. been a listener since middle school.
yooo me too. 8th grade i think
Bob Ezrin is a genius producer. Check out his channel and all the Deftones demos and pre-mixes. It’s a whole other world of Deftones to digest. It’s so beautiful.
awesome video
Cherry waves❤
RIP Georgie - miss you every day my bro.
Saturday night wrist with out a doubt one of my top favorites and got me through some real hard times. I completely connected with the aura of the album.
This video fails to mention the alternate demo version of the album, from b4 the vocals were recorded. Its noteworthy for having several additional tracks, incuding some of what would have been the more 'metal' songs.
I like those unreleased ones too
Xerces is one of my favs and this album really took me places.
My 2 favorite Deftones songs are Cherry Waves and Beware...Both off Saturday Night Wrist. I like White Pony's entire track list (of course) and consider it a masterpiece but, those 2 songs from Wrist grabbed my musical soul and still do to this day.
Omg, I have searched for this pic after all of these years! @9:19. Back when i weighed just 108 lbs and rode a Honda 125cc race dirt bike all over mountains and sand dunes in Washington State, I carved this photo onto the side of my bike faring when I was into "Change". My really good friend Deana and I head-banged to that song. haha! Now years later, I"m a Caregiver and she is a RN. She still goes to concerts in Seattle. Deftones is touring and I didn't get to go in April of '22 even though I asked to go for my birthday (March). All I got was a birdhouse. My dream of seeing Deftones LIVE for the first time was crushed. I will probably die never seeing Chino or Johnny Depp sing on planet Earth before I die.
Love this album. Interesting it was a pretty dark background setting, around the same time folks like Devin Townsend produced masterworks like Alien at great personal cost, too.
Nice video man and some good details during that period. Would you mind sharing the backing track you used for the video? Thanks!
sure thing. the song's called Feels by Patrick Patrikios.
Cherry waves, hole in the earth, xerces, kimdracula- for my personally one of their best albums
Forever my favourite Deftones album!
This album has some of my favourite Deftones songs. Beware, Hole in the earth, Cherry Waves and Kimdracula
It's a beautiful album indeed, let's all listen to it tonight!
riviere is one of the best songs ever penned in the last 20 years imo.
It really show cases how uniquely beautiful chinos voice is more then any other song while,digital bath showcases the range he use to have.
Good job my friendo
Good job!
My 15yo at the time of that album, and discovering Deftones, simply loved this album. I still love this album to death, I can't find any flaw in it lol
My only complaint is it needed a couple more heavy as tracks . It’s pretty mellow over all . But I do love it
@@techdeathhippie6319 aaaah come on, Rats, Kimdracula, Rapture are pretty heavy. Even Cherry Waves and Beware. I think people miss that raw aggression, rightfully so, but it still is a pretty damn heavy album by Deftones standards
@@ferrenberg I love the album fr . But I find two songs heavy and agressive . The album came out day I was married and fit the marriage then smile came out when I divorced lol
@@techdeathhippie6319 I think we all have true love and total deception Deftones moments 🤣so I assume you love Diamond Eyes? To me, that's their heaviest. I discovered Deftones in 2005/06, White Pony was my favorite until I heard the first minute of Diamond Eyes. I love that album more than life itself lol
@@ferrenberg Diamond eyes is my favorite lol and kny. And I saw them in 1995 and been a fan since . But I still think those two albums bear white pony
