"He's the lead singer of Crosses, I guess his full time band, was the lead singer of Deftones.." No. No. Nope. No. No. Still Deftones, always Deftones.
@@gloriouscontent3538 exactly. Crosses is a side project. A damn good one, but a side project. When mike shinoda did fort minor or Chester Bennington did dead by sunrise or his work with stone temple pilots no one was calling them “former” linkin park members. It’s so much better for these artists to do another style of music they’re passionate about as a side project instead of trying to force their band members to go in that direction too when that’s not really their thing. Deftones have certainly had their range of sound but I never see them going so purely synth-pop as crosses pulls, so it’s really best chino has this side project so he’s not feeling stifled creatively.
At this time, however, the future of Deftones was undecided. The band was dormant for a bit after 2007, and again after Chi died. They had just started work on Gore at the time of this interview.
Rodzilla97 lol i noticed that too. And he said adrenaline sold 60,000 copies (it was 200k lol). Such a laid back guy. Nothing but respect for him and deftones
The thing I love about Chino is how he will add to notes being played on the instruments, not copy them The guitar will commonly play a standard major chord, but instead of matching that chord, he'll sing a different note to turn that common major chord into a 7, or a 9, or something along the lines, making the entire song have a cooler chord progression. I think that's so cool
I think the interviewer asked a lot of questions that most fans wanted to hear. Most of the time, you get these horrible interviewers asking the same 'ol questions. It get's old. But this guy nailed it. He covered most of their career in 30 minutes. Cool video.
Locally here in Cleveland, this guy and show are douche bags. A lot of people hate his interviews, I see in other comments of other people as well, and they hate that he's clueless and an ass sometimes...but I actually think like you, it's a bit refreshing because this clueless guy asks questions you don't see. Like a newbie would approach the person talking to them gathering what they do, rather than someone who knows all about them and asks the same certain questions.
brian mossman I have never seen an interview where I thought the interviewer was a cool dude. Not ever. Every single time the interviewer makes me cringe and I want to kill them. Even more "popular" interviewers.
+brian mossman dude, youre the voice of reason. the interviewer sucks. plus, if you look at the description of the video it says: Chino Moreno talks about Deftones, the death of Chi, divorce, drugs and much more! WTF!
Never in my life did I ever think I would say this but.....Thank you Madonna for finding the Deftones. So strange that she would be the one to get them signed.
I want to know what 2 songs Deftones played for the record company that got them signed! By the way, i met Chino March 31st in San Francisco after a †††'s show. He was walking to his tour bus and i asked if he would like to sing while i play guitar. He said yes, we started jamming!! It was surreal for him to meet Madonna, that was a surreal moment for me!!! Chino is really down to earth!
Hell yea.. we just improvised and made one up on the spot! I had a riff that i've been playing prior to meeting him, so i played it and he started freestyle singing!! Haha
He must of done this 500 plus times. The amount of times I've heard this is unreal. Then again im not doubting you. Hes been out here rocking for a while and honestly anyone with a passion wouldn't mind the free form shred w the local fans holy shit im gay
Their new music is still incredible after all these years! It's great to know thats even possible for a band to do! I first heard Deftones in a bmx game for Playstation 1. They give me some of the best nostalgia and connection to my past self in the present ever. So much respect for these guys!!
Considering he never actually played on any of their records (I don't even think he was on Like Linus) I doubt most interviewers would bother asking about him, or even know who he is.
Seen Chino come out on stage with Korn when I lived in Sacto ...one of the coolest moments in my concert experiences ..I have it on a bootleg vhs tape of the whole concert at Arco Arena
Was such a great show. Smaller venue than Deftones plays in and Chino came right down in the crowd and walked around us while singing. You don't really get those moments to enjoy for the big shows. So was awesome to live.
Chino is one of the absolute GOATs and he was chill af. The way the interviewer asked about Chi acting like he didn't know his name and how he continued to ask for details about how the accident happened and the state Chi was in was disrespectful and annoying. He def thinks he's the coolest guy in the room and should probably rethink that.
This is a different interview than most . Chino is chill responsible guy. He doesn't talk about a rotten past or depressing shit which is rare. its not a bad thing it's just so common and similar amongst the grunge and Nu metal scene back in the day
First show I ever went to deftones opened for limp bizkit... I thought chino was extremely humble and intense, very appreciative of the crowd, bizkit came out (didn't go to see them but stayed to see them regardless) and the lead singer was saying "fuck you!" And held up a middle finger to the crowd, and I thought to myself "who are these assholes? Deftones is so much better and will outlast these self-righteous turds" ... Happy to say it came true
I dunno got the pleasure of meeting him and the band 3-4 times over the past 18 years and they are all awesome people was fucking star struck the first time I met them before white pony blew up in 2000 got to hang out with them, still in my opinion one of the greatest and most dynamic and hardworking bands out there and one of the best live performances bar none. I can't wait for the next album! R.I.P. Chi #Bambooparachute . P.S. this interviewer is clueless . one love
Rover is actually a DJ from north east ohio, I live near the studio, he has a tendency to ask pointless questions, I honestly would have picked their other host Alan Cocks as opposed to rover, still love the fact that chino dropped by to chat. No bad vibes towards Rover though as he is most definitely hilarious, And its funny as shit that he brought up Fred Durst, Chino hates that dude lmao.
Ok, the interviewer needs to do his god damn research. You don't ask "Did anything change after the death of... erm... Chi, right? He played bass?" That is a recent event... That's just terrible work.
At the beginning of the interview, he mentions how he didn't expect Chino to come by, because people usually come to his show BEFORE their show to promote it. Chino came by after his show nonetheless. I would suppose the interviewer didn't have more than a few minutes to prepare for the interview. It kinda looked like he was fed some information during the interview.
Even if he knew everything about Deftones, he still has to conduct the interview as if he doesn't. For the sake of the listener. It's a way to get more out of the artist. He asks questions as if he doesn't know, so Chino can be more indepth with his answers. This is probably one of the best Chino interviews you'll find. Stop complaining.
chi's accident was in o9, not every interviewer is a fan of the people they interview, he is asking questions if he knows everything beforehand then its not a fucking interview, when he asked did anything change , it could have meant was it a possible end to the band, or are they gonna replace him? Trust I got a homie in a coma, they have had a lot of time to grieve and make peace with the 6 YEAR wait that yielded no results. The guy did his job, and for the record, when it comes to comas that span that long the person laying lifeless is just that of a lifeless body, it is a brutal thing to witness but after enough time they have in your mind been dead for a while, hope only lasts for so long before you have to accept it for what it is. Chi's initial accident was the day he died, only those who have dealt with coma situations can understand how difficult and hopeless it can be to just wait. I can honestly say that there was a point where I just wished my boy would either die or wake up, cause standing on the sideline helpless is almost like being in a coma along side of him, and not being able to do shit to help him possibly wake up cause no one ever can give you the answers you want even those who regain conciseness don't come out 100% for reasons like brain damage and shit like that.
Some of you guys are making good points - deftness have been around forever and crosses a few years, for the interviewer to say on air "Wow i had no idea about your major side project whats this?" seems to indicate poor understanding of subject material
@@ronniedavis4184 arrogant? where are you sensing any arrogance? not sure you know what arrogant means. He didn't sound like he thought he was better than anyone. Sounds like a dude interviewing another dude. You are actually typing like an arrogant fool who thinks he is better than a normal run of the mill interviewer. Name one arrogant foolish thing this guy has said in this interview.....
Imagine as an interviewer hearing that Madonna walks in the room - the most famous woman and musician in the world at the time, and boss of the record company who signs the band - and then proceeding to ask nothing more about it - just move onto the same generic questions you would ask someone who was just talking about some suited exec. So dumb.
I would have asked about Eros rather than mention Chi. The interviewer did his job, he asked the hard questions but he could have found a better approach for the way he asked these questions. P.S. I feel like once this interview hit the 30 minute mark, that the interview actually started over... did anyone else notice this?
First deftones show was in HB CA Club 5902 Korn was playing as well. I left with a blue demo tape that was sick! i shared that shit with everyone. . It was awesome discovering them in 93-94 ish Seeing both them and Korn was a trip . Two awesome bands different but complimented each well on that billing.
mrmanback I know age isn't important to music but with concert's in kind of is, i'f i'm turning 16 in february and I wait til i'm 18 to see them you think there'd still be a chance?
I love how we got to hear so much stuff from the past. I personally loved to hear his real name which I knew for a few years from Wikipedia. Funny thing is my name is Camilo :D But why is his spelled Camillo? in Spanish it would change the "L" sound to a "Y" sound.
Why did he have to go into such detail of Chi's passing? Saying death many times, saying everything he must of went through, reminding Chino of how he went from touring the world to a coma. Seems a bit insensitive especially it only being a year. I dunno, I would of not touched too much on it.
I still find it hilarious that _Madonna_, of all people, is who brought us all the Deftones. Glad she apparently has great taste in music.
madonna is a great singer...
She’s got a great taste in money.
Diversify ;)
@@bullfknhead she's a nutcase.
Thanks Madonna wow
@@edpin00 don’t discredit her taste in music simply because she’s popular
Chino is such a good dude. Gotta be one of the most humble dudes with some sort of "fame" behind him. Always so inspiring.
"He's the lead singer of Crosses, I guess his full time band, was the lead singer of Deftones.." No. No. Nope. No. No. Still Deftones, always Deftones.

The way he described how he wanted people to discover Crosses is exactly how I found them. I was so excited!
Just returning to this during quarantine. Where my fellow Deftonians at? What's good^^

Grew up with the tones, Chino is a gifted vocalist!
Seriously love Chino so much
Their new music is still incredible after all these years! It's great to know thats even possible for a band to do! I first heard Deftones in a bmx game for Playstation 1. They give me some of the best nostalgia and connection to my past self in the present ever. So much respect for these guys!!
The guy actually asked pretty good questions, and it was nice to get to a glimpse of Chino's personal side.

+banksbitch *Chi
+banksbitch che guevara's death lol
+Matt G lol
+Matt G Nah, man. They're definitely talking about Chi Cheng. Look at how it's spelled in the desc.
The story around 29:30 is def. talking about Chi.
watching old chino interviews never gets old ironically 🎞️
I met Chino back at Ozzfest 99 when I was 16 years old..very chill dude
*imagines Madonna sitting in a hotel room receiving an early demo tape of Deftones and thinking “huh these guys aren’t so bad”*
HIS MOM AND SISTER LIVE NEXT DOOR SEE CHINO ONCE IN A WHILE.....REAL NICE FAMILY
Deftones is one of my favorite bands and even after all these years they still make good music and haven’t lost a step at all and rip Che
chino will always live for music.....love him!
Im surprised he is such a humble guy! What great character he is. Much respect for these guys!
That Crosses record is truly amazing if you give it the time.
Hell yeah it is.
Didn't need to give it time. It was gold to me from the moment it touched my ears. Chino's other side projects, not so much for me.
It was cool to hear the story of how they got signed. I've wondered about that for years.
So much respect for Deftones
Chino is also the singer of Palms. My favorite of all of them will always be Deftones.
That Palms album is awesome. Mission Sunset is a stunning epic masterpiece of a song.
I wish one day we get to hear Chino or any Deftones band members talk about John. He was the first drummer.
Considering he never actually played on any of their records (I don't even think he was on Like Linus) I doubt most interviewers would bother asking about him, or even know who he is.
Seen Chino come out on stage with Korn when I lived in Sacto ...one of the coolest moments in my concert experiences ..I have it on a bootleg vhs tape of the whole concert at Arco Arena
Amazing questions, amazing answers. Great video
Never mix the interviewer's voice louder than the interviewee's voice. If anything, the interviewee should be mixed louder.
Jeff Davis THIS!!!!!!
well chino's mouth is a little farther to the mic, than the interviewer soooo...
Chino just has **that** voice; whether singing or speaking… his voice and tone just makes me feel so calm and at peace.
Chino rarely misses with any project he’s involved in… goated
Feels like the radio host is trying to be like Howard Stern, maybe that's why he comes off odd ha.
+Christopher Gene Dead on

I don't think Chino ever drank from that cup... haha

How does that make him a hater?
