![Deftones - Minerva (Official Music Video) [HD Remaster]](/img/n.gif)
Band: Deftones
Genre: Deftones
You fucking nailed it!
This
Album: Deftones
missed opportunity smh
I’m so fed up of hearing comments like this
@@le_th_ I know exactly what you mean. I wouldn't want you around either.
I love how Rick picks songs from different generations and genres and treats them with respect. It's so refreshing to see someone who doesn't think the only good music was released during the seven years that they were a teenager.
Absolutely! Rick is a genuinely open minded and extremely passionate music fan! I love his channel!!
@@Buckfast_Berserker Hear, Hear!!
agree
He's a producer.
@@rafaelcabralwilliams Oh, I know. But not all producers are open-minded.
When I saw he picked Deftones, I expected "Change" or "My Own Summer". So glad he picked "Minerva". It is so fantastic.
That was my first deftones song :)
So glad he didn't go for the hits and wentfor the most beautiful songs. Digital Bath would've been amazing too.
God loves you all! The Father sent the Son to die for you and your sins so that you could experience freedom to the fullest! Believe in Christ's death and resurrection (which sealed the work done on the cross) for your salvation and the forgiveness of sins! Amen
Goddamn those Frank keyboards man, once I heard someone ask Chino in an inverview what Frank brought to the band since you can hardly hear him, and Chino responded something along the line of "Well I think that's precisely what makes him such a great musician, you never know exactly what he's doing but if he didn't do it you would know it's missing".
This song brings me to tears everytime man.
Saw some recent live footage, and seemed like Frank was really helping bold things together while chino was bouncing around the stage
Why does it bring you to tears?
Me too
@@jeff7764I mean listen to the song man. It doesn’t make me cry, but you could feel the desperate longing that everything out together creates
I've always loved how the Deftones play with dissonance. They'll pick a really dissonant harmony and just sit on it for a while so the resolution feels so fuckin satisfying.
Don't forget the flawless production. White pony and around the fur have some of the best sounding rhythm tracks ever.
Very satisfying resolutions...
100% Stephen Carpenter said once that it’s supposed to sound like it’s always about to tear apart. Love it. Most underrated band ever
Deftones messed me up as a theory student because some of the stuff they do structurally, and Chino in particular does melodically, is so rule-breaking and uncomfortable. But after listening to a few songs and seeing another analysis here on YT on their musical patterns, I started to realize that discomfort is kinda the point sometimes.
You got it!Welcome , it’s warm inside..
deftones music always sounded for me like an ocean waves
On a cold windy winter night.
There’s a slowed down track somewhere on here that sounds just like the ocean!
Yeah, the music washes over you.
what a beautifu sentiment, and a gorgeous image. i don't know you, but i like you.
chino talks about waves so much in his songs
Deftones genre is “whatever they feel at the moment”
Rogelio Palos Death Grips are like that to.
Josh Shrum oh yeah, they totally are
Rogelio Palos I’m actually listening to Death Grips right now i always love playing there music.
nah their genre is "horny as fuck"
Frank Delgado's contribution to the Deftones records is highly underrated.
As it should be
Exactly, it's so sutile on the records but are really amazing and impressive if you hear carefully. This guy is so important and crucial for the sonority of the band, like the guitars of Stephen.
@Dale Macarena exactly! nah but really he does keyboards and sampling , joined the band on White Pony and has been in ever since.
Deftones sound is galactic, makes me feel lile silver surfer flying through the cosmos.
@Daniel Southerland Great point, a lot of people want to be in control and need things spelled out. Deftones music isnt in ur face it is layers upon layers of colors feelings emotions and complexities that some people just do not appreciate but we do. And yes Deftones take u to places that are just beyond this world. Every concert ive been to people are screaming crying hugging and sharing something that is very hard to explain. But whats understood need not be said. Glad you appreciate the art.
Ramon Valle my fav album of theirs. Don’t hear it enough
Honestly, you're on target. Many have trouble describing their sound. This song especially, feel like I'm tripping balls!!
Especially this song. It's one of my favorite songs period.
ocean waves + galactic
Frank is so underrated in Deftones. That man contributes so much to the Deftones sound.
the SECRET WEAPON!
truly!
indeed
Your pfp is from jin roh?
Totally agree 👍!
Abe is such an overlooked drummer...his sound and style is like no other...the beats he comes up with are ALWAYS unique
and he ALWAYS brings it live. soooo goood!
a lot of his drum parts are like something you'd hear in a hip hop song or something. really unique drummer.
Yeah his live performances are ridiculous. He hits HARD
He is a beast of a drummer!! Really genius!
I think I read a long time ago that his father played with Stewart Copeland in some capacity
The intro goes to show just how essential Frank Delgado is to the Deftones’ sound.
Rick Beato is so enthusiastic. His love of music is contagious!
isn't it amazing that knowledge and enthusiasm can act as a muse ? I'm glad Rick doesn't sell Mercedes Benz, because i'd buy two of them, and then hug him.
It totally is!
Absolutely! He's also natural teacher...
Truly is
Digital Bath is one of the greatest songs ever recorded
Sooooo true.. i have a mustang (1995) with a louuuuud/clear stereo being a music drummer guy.. that song was playin driving through my town , stuck in traffic. I noticed everyone in the cars around me bobbing their heads to the song. Song ends down the road and the guy next to me yells out hus window "thanks dude ,i fuckin love that song" .. He drove like 5/6 blocks out of his way and turned around after it was over hahaha!!
Agreed
@@cobra1995xx great story man, greetings from Argentina, I'm a drummer guy too and fcking love that song!
@@cobra1995xx and then everyone stood up and clapped, obama is ther,
Agreed. Love all of Tones’ catalog, but I really though we were going to get Digital Bath next :/
The finish on that PRS looks like someone’s childhood dream.
It's the definition of GAS.
looks like it was made for Minerva
Exactly
That PRS guitar looks amazing! I almost got a job at PRS Guitars. I live an hour away from the plant. I kinda regret it now but I turned it down.
Saw that and thought “must...have...guitar”. Would look great with my other PRS
Can we please get a breakdown of every Deftones song ever created??? I cannot get enough of your technical breakdowns of songs! Your passion for music shows with how playful you are with the different tracks. Thank you for bringing this to world and God bless you all on the Earth...
Such a "big" song, perfect for stadiums. Plus, I never knew there was a synth in this song. I love this series.
Random Character they’ve had synth ever since White Pony, it’s just very hidden sometimes. A great example of a strong synth line is Rx Queen, that warble-y line throughout the song is the synth! always thought it was the bass
Frank NIT uses a Nord Lead synth
Dean Smith he used one in the past, and i think continues to use a Nord Lead 2X, but he does use other synthesisers as well as Ableton Live
It's always there. Very subtle and blends in unnoticeably if you don't look for it. But once you recognize the parts and imagine deftones without the synth parts you realize how Frank is as much essential to the band as every other guy there.
If you listen to “Hexagram” closely, you can hear keys played in the verses. There’s just so much going on, but if you really listen, it’s mindblowing. You can hear it on the remastered versions that are on Spotify.
You had me at Deftones!
Me too. Great band, very unique, there's no one else like them.
Mark Andersen - I agree completely. I’m also sure I’m not alone when I say that i do miss Chi. He provided some nice textures against the melodies.
When he sings "nuuuuumb" over heavy guitar wall of sound I just melt. So good. I rediscovered Deftones after listening to a lot of shoegaze and Minerva instantly became my favourite song of them. Can't stop listen to it.
I just want a girl that loves me as much as Rick Beato loves good music.
don’t we all. She’ll only ever love what you do for her, not you

@@allthelittleworms Then what does define women in general to you? Do the women in YOUR life define women in general for you? What a silly point to make
I've listened to this song thousands of times and had no idea the keyboards were hiding in there. This is why I love this channel!
Frank is fucking amazing on this album
Abe is such an underrated drummer
Such a huge sound. Killer drum parts. Not boring. So good.
@@argetect2847 Abe is one of the best in the game! He´s unbelievable!
Abe Cunningham is insanely good. Can vouch personally
For real, he contributes so much to Deftones’ sound. He can be very complex but simple at the same time.
@@judemendoza2666 exactly
This song is such a masterclass in tension/release
As in release isn’t always necessary
Deftones without a doubt are my favorite band of alllll time and it’s not even close. I could watch you breakdown every one of their songs all day long. Great job and enthusiasm!
Mister Irrelevant ok but why do i want him to break down pink cellphone now 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite band by far also!
same here my friend, fav by far
I've been trying to find a band that sounds similar to Deftones. It's impossible, they have such a unique style. Chevelle is probably the closest that I've heard.
@@ev6633 😂
This gives Frank Delgado so much credit... super inventive and creative, adding to the spacy and dreamy sound of the band
It's hard to tell exactly what's Frank on a lot of Deftones stuff. I'd love to hear more of there stuff broken down like this just so I can hear what Frank is doing for real.
@@chrisschwarten1140 Yeah, thats true. He isnt super prominent in the mix, but serves the song... it is like the sheets on a matress haha.
The color on that guitar is beautiful
Agreed! Damn, it's hypnotizing!
I love the part at 10:00 when he isolates the vocals. Awesome!!!! Please consider reviewing "Rosemary" for the next Deftones song.
I've listened to this song a thousand times and I have no idea there were synths in there... damn, that's incredible.
I love Deftones. They have matured so well as a band. I assisted the mixing session for the demo that got them signed with Ross Robinson. They used to come hang out with us up at Indigo Ranch all the time back in the day from the first Korn album we did there and Chino guested a lot on different projects we did. Great guys too!
Dare Angel Music any funny stories?
@@koopstanick1710 Too many to list here that's for sure! My intent has been to start telling them in some videos and adding them to either this or my other channel.
Whereas the “numetal” sound has become pretty dated in only a couple years, Deftones were able to achieve something that seems to transcend time.
White Pony future proofed them. They weren't gonna sell 5 million records but it meant they weren't just gonna fade away either and now they are probably a bigger band now because of it
Numetal is still kind of around and you can hear it's influence in a lot of contemporary metal. Rather than the style it's more about the band's themselves isn't it? I'd say the idea of transcending is subjective too. Don't get me wrong I completely agree in regards to deftones... But you're making a subjective statement as though it's objective.
Numetal always got a lot of hate, and I just see it as kind of a punk vibe in that it was a lot of people who were making music who were less theory verse. But there was a lot of experimentation going on, and lots of different influences. Sometimes I felt it worked and other times it didn't.
They are well beyond "nü-metal".
Yeah, Deftones seem to have a greater chord vocabulary than the 4 that Linkin Park uses.
I’ve been listening to some nu-metal again and while I can tell it’s 90’s it’s so much better than a lot of new music. It was just raw, more experimental and heavy. Today’s music is a bit too safe.
Now that Hum has been mentioned, we absolutely need a Hum video now!
Deftones have a heavy sound with their grinding,distorted riffs but they often contrast this with atmospheric sounds like Chino's soaring vocals and reverb guitar effects and keyboards and even Chi's bass playing and Abes drumming. They have an obvious soft-loud dynamic present. The band were definitely influenced by The Cure and The Pixies. However,they have a very unique sound exclusive only to them. They're almost like a heavy metal version of The Pixies or Smashing Pumpkins but these descriptions don't do them any justice. They are so much better than most nu metal bands. Deftones,Tool,System Of A Down,Primus,Incubus,Queens Of The Stone Age and Muse are all amazing bands of the same realm.
Listen to My bloody valentines loveless album and something like when the sun hits by slowdive and you'll get a feel of what influenced destones sound. Billy corgan was also a big shoegaze band and wanted to recreate the sort of sonic guitarscapes that my bloody valentine created.
@@rtmclean484 I also get major Hum vibes from Deftones music at times, they were an underrated ‘90s bands. I’ve heard some songs from the loveless album, I like what I’ve heard.
YES, I'm a huge fan of Deftones, Pixies and QOTSA for the very same reasons. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks they're similar.
... ''You might call it 'demented'''. Bless you, Rick.
Such musical dad joke. I laughed ;)
Jeff DeFazio I am that musical Dad. I also laughed.
especially that "nailed it" smile he has afterwards
Deftones are kinda the Radiohead of heavy music in their influence and artistic experimentation, but somehow always being identifiable as them.
I’m not sure there’s a band that creates a mood like them in modern music.
Literally every artist i listen to mentions them as an influence. They are pioneers. So much more than just a 90's new metal band.
There's some bands with strong moods anf atmosphere. But i cam't think of any that has their own atmosohpere so unique and deep.
I would say Tool's like that as well. New album is great, though we had to wait for it for so long I almost forgot they were my favourite band. ^^
I think it's due to the members diverse tastes in music. I mean earlier in adrenaline era. It was mainly Steph who had control,. You can tell it was more straight forward and chinos love of hip hop was evident. As time passed,. Chinos influence in the writing was more prevalent and I think it's the contrast being Steph's heavy metal roots to chinos love of bands like The Smiths, the cure, Depeche mode etc that creates this beautiful Chia's of noise
@@AlextheBant it's 'Nu metal'.. it's a genre of it's own
@- Same thing here mate. absolutely love both bands to death
Next we hit the chorus:
And God bless you Rick
For the song you chosed
Would love to see a video from Rick dissecting the guitar work on some of Hum’s music. They were a huge inspiration for the Deftones’ sound
I almost fell out of my chair. Not only a great song by the Deftones, but he also mentioned Hum! Rick, please do an episode on Stars by Hum, please!
God bless us all... especially Hum and the Deftones. and the fans of Hum. and the Deftones. screw it.. God Bless us All
And mentioned Swerve Driver!
Thumbs up for the Hum reference. "she's out back counting stars..."
I was looking for this comment.
hrosemd Right!?! I was literally just listening to them yesterday. In it’s own way, that was one hell of a random mention.
Great band, criminally underrated.
Look up John Kew. He did a cover with a band he formed thru UA-cam and covered that song. The beginning starters slow but it gets good.
Hum was (were?) the soundtrack to my young adulthood. I was thrilled to meet them when they played in my small Midwestern town. their music has aged incredibly well. I count myself as blessed to have absorbed as much of their music as i could.
Deftones album “Around the Fur”. This album is so clean and hard with a one of a kind edge. It’s not over produced and makes you feel like you are right in front of them live. The most important thing about this album though is the heart. You can feel the passion and energy like no other album, not to put the other albums down, just this one is so birth like.
Around the fur has amongst the best sounding drums ever recorded. It's insane.
My favorite album of all time!
@Axel Reunis which is really cool considering he used a different snare drum for almost every song
Makes me so happy that you did “Minerva.” My favorite and I think their most underrated song. They smuggled a dream pop song onto terrestrial rock radio.
RIP Chi
Abe is one of my favorite drummers ever. Just in the pocket all the time. So much feel.
Joel Price and energy
"Tasty" drummer. He's amazing.
He's often so underestimated with how much he affects their music. He comes up with some brilliant grooves, songs like 976-Evil wouldn't work with anyone else behind the kit, at least not even close to as well
@@ClikcerProductions You're not lying. I don't think that band would be the same without Abe, Stef, or Chino. Chi was a big part of the sound too. They've changed a bit since he left. But Stef doing the Riffy stuff and the dissonance. Abe with his Hip-Hop/Metal thing that he does. Chino with his intelligently dissonant melodies and spacey guitar stuff. They are quite literally the sound of that band.
Incredible drummer, just the perfect balance between... Everything. Can't really put words to it. He more than anyone is probably why I keep coming back to and enjoy also the relatively weak(er) albums. Abe is consistently world class.
Man... I remember passing hours at the cyber listening this song at Deftones's website. I was too poor even to pay a pirated copy of the álbum.. Listening this passionate analisys brings me tears of joy and nostalgia.
Should do a video on the song “cherry waves” one of my fav deftones songs
Saaaaame!!
Yes please
Saturday Night Wrist is such an underappreciated album. I do agree Rick needs to do a video on Cherry Waves.
andrew lazarz- Saturday night wrist, is in the top four albums by them in my opinion. I listen to Saturday night wrist the most to be honest, the songs seem to still be relevant in 2020. The extra layer of guitar by beato would be better in the mix in my opinion like in this video.
That's a great song... But that heavily pitch-shifted high note on the vocals imho sounds a bit iffy... Like most of the vocoder-like trends while they're gone
That PRS is alive with color, almost like it’s lit from within.
So excited Terry Date is working with the Deftones on the new album
Erin Weatherly there’s some vinny Paul like production on those drums
NEW ALBUM?! I've missed this announcement.
Is it confirmed? 😱
This is the song that introduced me to Deftones, been a fan ever since.
Same. Heard this song on True Crime: Streets of LA for the PS2. Lol
As a rock musician who uses a lot of jazz chords, Chino's melodies always struck me as amazing. Takes the songs and gives them some thicc harmonies.
That 'demented' minor-major 7th is what I think of as a Portishead chord.
He should analyze a portishead song! Kindly link it here if he has!
@@vishalgulve he definitely should!
Yep, Rick, they're right - Portishead would be a great band to do one of these videos on.
yooooo i would love to see a Portishead breakdown
This is probably my favorite "what makes this song great" Episode you've ever done.
First song i ever played on stage with a live band at age 13 was Deftones - "Be Quite and Drive".
Rest in Peace Chi.
Thank you Rick, awesome.
In spirit of Deftones and Gojira touring together this summer, let's see a What Makes This Song Great for Gojira!
Deftones are such a brilliant band. I've never heard a band be so heavy and yet so immediately and viscerally beautiful.
I had a buddy in college who was obsessed with Deftones and I just couldn't seem to get into them. Videos like these help me gain the appreciation I was lacking at the time. Thanks Rick!
So glad you brought up Hum, they're a truly underrated 90s alt band
Hum fills me with happy. and distortion. and happy distortion.
I need waffles Tabernacle yes! and without Hum, Deftones wouldn’t exist as they do today.
You seriously need to do one of these on Depeche Mode
This.
yes.
Frank is such an underrated element of Deftones. He really sets the mood.
This series has deepened my appreciation of music to a level that I wasn't even aware of before. Thanks for this, Rick.
Chino has such a weird ear for harmony and the voice to really capitalize on that. Awesome video as always, Rick.
I used to think he was singing out of tune, but I liked it anyway. Then I evolved and realised he's a freaking genius, and a great singer. It's tough as a singer to hold notes that are so different from the underlying music. He's digging into notes that work against the chord structure, and when you do that, it feels like you are out of tune, and your voice fights with you to move to a note that's closer to the chords. And the best part is he makes it sound easy, almost lazy, like he's so whacked out that he doesn't care about being in tune, like it's an accident that he's singing a half step off one of the core notes in the harmony. Deftones rule. One of the main groups that got me into shoegaze, ambiant/post rock, black metal, blackgaze and doom/drone metal. I just love dense, washy and ethereal mixes, with tons of dissonance.
seems he does it all by instinct right? I don't think he went to music school and thought long and hard: mm, a 9th would be an interesting choice here..... or am I wrong?
@@croulantroulant3082 he likely didn't know what he was doing. He is a guitarist though, so that probably informs his vocal melodies a lot.
@@Patrick-857 agreed! pretty amazing how his style was already mature at the beginning of the band when he was so young.
Rick. Real question for the lay people like me. The layering of the keyboard's and the guitar you talk about at the chorus, what percent of bands you've been involved with during recording have those ideas or write those parts? What percent are added by the producers with an inside knowledge of how to make the song sound bigger or better?
Your insight, knowledge, and willingness to share this with us do energetically and enthusiastically is unparalleled. Thank you
In my experience it depends on both the band and the style of music. For rock bands I’d say it is 50/50. The Deftones have had Frank doing keys for much long than he’s been an official member. I’d say the band let Frank do these parts without too much input from Terry Date (producer), but that’s just a guess. Terry seems to be the type of producer who facilitates good performances rather than writing the parts or bringing in additional instrumentation.
9:17 Rick picking up on Abe’s creativity love to see it
Rick will you do another Deftones song it’s my favorite song. Be Quiet And Drive
+1! yea, if you get the opportunity, BQAD (FA) is one of my favorite songs of all time
We definitely need another Deftones song analysis.
They've thrilled me as a listener for years.
I had never noticed how absolutely DOPE the bass in this song is! Rip Chi ✌️
Deftones and Hum reference earned my sub
I love watching Rick geek out to this song, reminds me of me
My man needs to stop name dropping HUM and do a video on them!
Fuck yes. So many great ones to choose from, The Scientists, Isle of the Cheetah, pretty much anything off You'd Prefer an Astronaut
It's cool he mentions Hum because Chino said that they were a really strong influence on the band, especially with their "You'd Prefer an Astronaut" album
Deftones is an amazing group! Was always hoping for them to get the Beato treatment and analysis, and what a great Christmas gift indeed. Cheers
I love Ricks validation of how amazing Deftones are. This is the best Xmas present I could of asked for this year! The understated complexity of Deftones has been overlooked for so long! Minerva has this massive sound that gives musicians goosebumps and watering eyes because of its layered beauty. Thanks Rick! 10/10!
I love that you know who HUM is, Rick.
Check out the Howard stern video with hum here on UA-cam if you haven’t!
The Deftones...what an idyllic name for a band that wandered into a sound that only few understand, a sound that I tried to convey to my friends, a sound that no one in my camp can understand, yet I hear Melody and Harmony in the strangest way. I am glad that I am not alone in my way of thinking and my misunderstanding of musical norms or abnorms. Around the Fur taught me a great lesson... You think you have heard it all, NOPE! Thanks Rick, your insight is well appreciated!!!!!!! Love your channel sir!
it's all about the abnorms
Chino’s voice is an instrument 🎷 in it’s own category.
Sadly he didn't take care of his voice.
@@paeden5431 I'm not sure it is possible with the strain that most of the Deftones songs put on it.
Jordan Moorman
he sounds DAMN good consisdering what he's been doing for 30 plus yrs.
@@johnme4443 Except when he performs drunk, which unfortunately was the case the time I saw them live... and their guitars were out of tune.. :(
@@Coicoy same both times I've seen them. He fell off the stage at the first one
Anyone else reminded of going to highschool or college when u here deftones ☺
Rock N Soul Music yes deftones static x and saliva were my life back then great nostalgia
Dude I was like 1 when white pony dropped so I can’t even say a thing. Minerva reminds me of 2003 when I was super small watching music videos on TV. I loved this music video as a kid.
I love dissonants in music... they can be so expressive.
That first drop is sick, but when the F comes in, that’s when I get goosebumps. Deftones are god tier.
I've gotten goose bumps about 8 times watching this. Forgot about this song. Whole album is great.
Been waiting for this one. There's just something about this song that never gets old for me.
Deftones does this half chorus thing where they start some grand build up and then cut out, "for the SONG you SINGGG... Us."
Then when they finally give you the full chorus, it's so... Skeet skeet
The keys are so subdued too, they thicken up an already massive sound.
Minerva is one of those songs that's like, blown-out stadium rock but with so much going on under the hood, as this video explains beautifully. One heck of a chorus, too.
That PRS is a beauty, dang!
Glossy blue
It is gorgeous
Thank You for noticing what that is. I couldn’t see a label on the headstock. Just saw the signature. That color is stunning.
Is this a repainted? I cant fine this model so freaking amazing stunning color
@@askwho69 I've never seen a Custom 24 with that paint job from the factory, but I can't imagine someone repainting it as they would most likely be painting over a very nice figured maple cap. PRS have done some stuff with metallic paints on other lines so I'm guessing this is from the factory.
It's fascinating to hear the parts soloed. That track struck me when I first heard it - back when Björk, Soundgarden and Deftones ruled MTV with those songs. Extra bonus points for Rick's enthusiasm.
At 10:40, Rick points out the simultanuous use of the minor 3rd and major third... those dissonances are hypnotic and the reason I listen to the Deftones. Those insights are why I watch Rick Beato's you tube channel. Thanks Rick!
Emotion. Ambiguity. Atmospheric miminal keys. Layers of soothing yet distorted guitars....and those drums
My phone:
"RICK BEATO
What Makes This Song Great? EP. 78 - DEF..."
Me: **clicks instantly**
Haha same.
You thought it was Def Leppard didnt ya😎
tmi
...jef 😂
He’s smart about growing his audience.
"... like Hum..My Bloody Valentine..." speaking my language. Love it.
everytime he mentiones HUM in one of his videos, I'm happily jumping like a little boy.
@@delightmediadesign just discovered them cause chino mentioned them as a influence, how did i miss them all these years before? been listening to their cataloge 24/7 for the past 2 weeks
Me likey shoegaze alot🤓
Hum put a new album out last month if anyone in this thread didn’t know. It’s damn good
@@walkmetomytrugg3984 thanks for letting us know man
You mentioned Hum!! My all time favorite band. Would love to hear one of their songs in this series.
One of the best things they did was bring Frank Delgado in full time....his keys and samples add such a beautiful layer to their sound 👏🏻🙌🏻
Everything from the Deftones is pure ecstasy.
Very cool. That mix of 3 and m3 is WAY risky and memorable!
Please do a “Stuff Meshuggah does” 🙌
So risky and yet so confidently sung. Just amazing
@@bitethecurb6549 challenge accepted!
Uncle Ben? Is that you... ya grouchy bastard. Lol
Been listening to Rick for about a year now. His vids are always very informative and entertaining. Just discovered Ben. Ben knows his stuff. That vid on the Tool pulloff technique was great.
This is one of my favorite Deftone tracks of all time. Love that you chose this one. I am also a huge Hum and Swervedriver fan. So cool to see this video!
That da-DAH-UH, snare followed by a quick kick is also a HUGE foundational element of Matt Cameron of Soundgarden's drum style. He's really the first drummer that I ever noticed using it to such a degree that it almost defines his sound... but there's so much more that is distinctly Matt Cameron that it wouldn't do him justice to say that.
MonkyMonk729 so true
Matt Cameron is the most 90's sounding drummer ever
I clicked and liked instantly. My favorite band, and now this video is showing me that Minerva is greater than I thought.
Beautiful song! Now how about:
Faith No More - Evidence
Porcupine Tree - Trains
Riverside - We got used to us
Pineapple Thief - In exile
Gustavo Cerati- Lago en el cielo
Steven Wilson - The pin drop
Incubus - The warmth
Stone sour - Through the glass
Tame Impala - The less i know the better
Placebo - The bitter end
Beautiful PRS also 🎸
Porcupine Tree- Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Porcupine tree anything Rick. Thanks for all the vids!!
@@lucaschacon8362 ehhh Gustavo Cerati!!!! Difícil que lo haga ya que es una canción en español. Pero buena elección
@@satyajeetpatil8177 Or Sound of Muzak
I remember hearing this album when it came out, specially at dawn. This song along with Hexagram, Needles & Pins and Battle-Axe (my #1) really pull my heartstrings. It makes me cry with a mix of joy and sorrow...
Jacobo Chaverri “When Girls Telephone Boys” did that to me. Anticipated this album coming out the most out of any of theirs, and still has to be my favorite…
Battle axe and deathblow are in my top 5.
Deftones - Rosemary would be a great one to do as well
"Let's solo Chi's bass part and Abe's drums..." -- I swear, I thought he said "Let's solo Cheeseface Parton Abe's drums." And now I have a new fictitious band name.
Mike Tuttle you are bonkers.
I heard the same
You’re not alone
Cheeseface Parton? Is that not Dollys illegitimate love child?
Cheeseface was amazing player. His love of drumming was paralleled only by his addiction to junk food. Coming up, he did this amazing solo where he’d rest for a 1/17th note and quaff Cheetos, which is where he got the name.
Abe is a really, really, really good drummer. Solid, heavy, technical, funky...all done with nice creativity. Air drumming to him is a joy!!
Pleasant surprise to see this instead of something from White Pony, a lot of people didn't like this album because it wasn't White Pony V2 but it's one of my favorites. Hexagram, Bloody Cape, Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event, and Moana all amazing tracks in addition to this one.
This is one of the records from 2003 and 2004 that helped me get through a really miserable time, so it'll always have a special place in my heart for that as well.
What i love most about your videos is how much you seem to enjoy yourself with those songs.
Makes me enjoy the songs alllll over again as if its the first time even though i listened to them over a thousand times.
You translate the beauty of these songs really really well.
Finally, some Deftones!!! Thank you Rick for having the best music channel on UA-cam!
I’ve always loved how the Deftones have a sort of unstable sound. Matches the lyrics. White Pony was super under-rated. Not a bad song on the album.
It was lost in the Seattle bands’ lore, though it was every bit as good as an STP.
@@RSPDiver bruh white pony was like 5 years after grunge died
White Pony has never been underrated
My point is: it didn’t get the due it deserved (IMO). That equates to underrated. That album should have been as big as Dirt or Plush.
@@user-ib8ky6eo4f yup, pretty much a rotting corpse by then
What a great video. So cool to see Deftones get the recognition they deserve! One of the things I like most about some of the other WMTSG vids is your explanation of the chord structure/progressions and how they relate to the respective melodies. Would love to see a deeper dive into that on this and future episodes. Keep up the great work Rick!
Great choice Rick! I'm a metalhead and I was not into new metal and the new genres coming up back then. But Deftones were and always have been an exception since I discovered them. Here's how it happened. When I first heard this song, it was on the radio and I was driving. I had to pull over immediately and turn the volume up to the max. I was awe-struck. It was so deep, intense and beautiful that pierced my brain and left me like raptured. At the end of the song, the speaker just said the name of the band but didn't repeat the song's name, so I spent the next few days bothering my friends and asking them to pass me all the Deftones stuff they had and searching online to find this song. Of course, I finally found it and loved all the Deftones stuff: they are amazing.
Rick: "And the song is..."
Me: Minervaminervaminervaminerva
Rick: "Coming up next"
Me: AAAARGWRGWRUGH
Same! Digital Bath would have been nice too tho...maybe we'll get lucky and he'll do both!
@@emjay1845 i'll be honest, i'd rather have Hole In The Earth
Digital Bath still cool tho I'd take that
Exact same before the title appeared!!!
Bet you were happy!
@@Eichro Hole in the earth is such a masterpiece man, but sadly people don't know it as well as any White Pony songs. He may pick one from the Around The Fur for another episode, I hope so, the album sounds fucking killer
