One of the greatest tracks of all time.
"radiohead of metal"
ive never thought of it like that but it actually makes sense
I've actually heard that many times, and think it's quite the compliment
But the singer from radiohead is a much better singer. No hate tho, I like several deftones songs
@@christianhackl474 I personally disagree with that. I think that Chino Moreno is better at making his voice feel otherworldly, even if it does not have the same traditionally pleasant sound. Plus I don’t think many people can beat scream. That is perfectly fine that you have your own opinion though. Have a great day!
@Ricky Huxedurp oh yeah right, the screaming thing u said I must agree, totally! But personally I like radiohead singer's voice much more and thought it sure is better than chino's, but hey my opinion, like I said I like much deftones songs but not the biggest fan! Have a great day too, dude
not really
Knowing Jon likes deftones enhances my life greatly
Chinos voice is like nothing I've ever heard. He purposely sings out of tune at times and it still sounds fucking great. The atmosphere they create in every song, especially in their slower songs like Sextape and their acoustics. Quite an amazing band in many ways
What’s interesting about Deftones is when you listen to all of their albums and pay attention to the evolution of the band. Moving from the 90’s to the Nu Metal boom of the early 00’s, through the tough times of Chi dying to where they are now. Way back when they were all about the grooves and the experimentation, nowadays they’ve got more of an ethereal quality to them where the whole band seems to just soar. They’re one of my all timers. Got a very special place in my heart for this band. I can totally see where Miller’s coming from as they can be an acquired taste, but if you find that point where they gel with you, you’re in there for good. Great criticisms and valid points throughout. Stellar work, fellas.
Josh Crowe That’s why this band is miles above most average rock & alternative metal bands. They honed a signature sound & figures out how to evolve with each album without losing the essence, it’s actually genius
Sam K Couldn’t agree more. Sometimes, evolution can lead to a downgrade in quality, but this band has been on the up and up for years. It’s like they’ve blossomed in the best possible way.
Well said
don't think I could of thought of a better way to say this myself.🖒🤘deftones are one of a kind, Chino's other band Crosses is cool to. Seen deftones are couple years ago, was amazing. Have Chino's pick that he threw after the one song he played on guitar as well, "ditgal bath".
Give him tracks like
- Hexagram
- Royal
- Engine no. 9
- Bloody Cape
- Korea
- Lotion
- Headup
- 7 Words
Brutal Deftones!
sextape
Elite
Dai the flu
rickets
Root
I felt the same about System of a down a few years ago. Their music was so weird to me and not like anything ive heard before. After listening to them more, they eventually became one of my favorite bands.
Cant agree more
this is my favorite band, this channel is even better for me lol
Only started listening to them a few days ago. This one gives me major shoegaze vibes. The opening chords really wouldn't be out of place on a Slowdive album.
I see deftones I click like I don’t even care what ppl think.. for me by far one of the greatest bands out there
I know how the guy with the red shirt feels I use to try to get into deftones but couldn’t understand why they were so good as people made them sound but then I started to listen to their hard/heavy songs and worked my way to their softer songs which made me appreciate them and come to be my favorite band of all time I even have it tatted on me. It’s one of those bands you have to find that one song you like and give it time let the album play on UA-cam even if you’re not enjoying it at the moment with deftones you need to be patient and the feelings you get are worth it. Not like any other band.
Absolutely true, I've tried listening to their more popular songs, then I found Cherry Waves and I was in love, after that, I tried the same songs again and I loved them
Have him listen to My Own Summer!
Remy Quin that is the Best video ever ! Shark week. Hah...
Remy Quin I'd love that too, but Simon said he'd heard it before and couldn't get into that either
If you pay attention to the video he says he doesn't like the singing. He had first heard my own summer and didn't like it. (guy on left)
Deftones are basically a noisy, heavier version of Depeche Mode. No other band sounds like them, and no band can try without sounding like blatant ripoffs.
Always the burden of being first to something really. If you find a lane, and do it well. The next artist/band to come after you that sound every remotely close to you...will be seen as a rip off.
No there are bands that sound like deftones, to explain that Deftones sound is apparently influenced by shoegaze, so I would say Post-metal bands like Isis have some similarities with deftones.
@@ilyas_elouchihi Shoegaze, Trip-Hop, Gothic Rock... Also, Chino and former members of Isis have a really cool project called Palms.
@@macristina5738 Yeah, wish they'd drop a new album
@@ilyas_elouchihi I think it’s just the same crowd listens to both shoegaze and Deftones. Hear a track like Rosemary or Sex tape and just assume they’re shoegaze.
100% Favourite band
This band can best be described as a “vibe”
I remember hearing this song when it came out on Mtv and ive been obsessed ever since, No other band makes me feel quite like Deftones, its this ethereal mood i cant explain.
This is a bad song for a “heavy” fan to start on! I would have started with My Own Summer (shove it). Then once someone likes that... break them into the melodic stuff. They are all about a “groove”! Melodic/heavy/groove mixed into one
He mentions shove it at 7:50, so maybe wouldn't be an honest first reaction.
The first Deftones song i heard was 'My own summer' and i was 10 years old and mind=blown
you dont have to force yourself to like deftones dude, they are my favorite band bec I grew up with their music, don't force it, just play white pony at night before you go to sleep, just play it at the background and enjoy the trip
Shit, me too man.
You're doing it right guys, love your videos, consistency is key, and you guys got it! Keep up the great work
I have been dealing with the struggle, for years, on how to describe how Deftones make me feel. I cant yet. It seems to me there are two categories here. Those who love Deftones and those who Experience Deftones. If I didnt have Deftones, a part of my identity would cease to exist. It is a journey. Its transcendent. Its an out of body experience. Borderline religion. Its a center you can vibrate your energies on. No matter what mood, that peace is ever present. Its the only sounds you can literally, in every way, ride on... into forever.
With a drum groove like this how can u not get this in your heart!
"Bored" was the first Deftones song I heard. loved them ever since.
One of my favorite too, and the acoustic version with Incubus and Adam Sandler (yes lol), is great too !
AMAZING SONG!!
Great band ! Love all Deftones.
never heard of this channel before but almost screamed whenever i saw simon
WHY? HEERE'S WHY
The terms that were sorely missing in this video to describe Deftones and some of their musical tactics is "shoegaze" and "dream pop". If this was my first impression of Deftones, I wouldn't get it either. In fact, I think it was one of my first impressions of Deftones and I just kinda thought they were slightly heavy generic alternative rock. I felt that way for years. It wasn't until I couldn't avoid hearing them at a music festival where I was able to understand their appeal. Bizarrely, it helped that I had a migraine headache at the time as it gave the music an even more hazy feel to it. I would suggest for Simon that he listen to an album of Deftones, rather than merely a song. If there's still nothing there for him after that, then he probably just won't dig them. Or if you go for just a song, it HAS to be Digital Bath, Knife Prty or Change. Because those have immediate hooks that will make you want to listen to more of what they have.
Maybe he’d like Elite, bloody Cape, when girls telephone boys, or Hexagram.
Dude on the right that obviously gets it, I'm glad you cut dude on the left loose..because I recently saw your reaction to Ohms and you were alone and delivered a stellar reaction. Bravo 👏👏
and definitely react to some more deftones!!
The first time I heard White Pony, was essentially the same way Jon did, I bought the CD and listened to it while going out for a walk. It had the same effect on me.
I had the same reaction to Deftones at first. When i heard this song for the first time (i was 15 years old and listening to nothing else but Metallica and Slayer) i found it off-puting. Now it's my one of my favourite songs ever. I think the dissonance of the song is sounding 'off' at first, but if you get used to it, you don't want anything else.
It's like drinking coffee for the first time, it's so bitter. And after a while you start to like the bitter taste and actually can't live without it.
It's the flat fucking five that get's ya
Great example
I just describe their music as the perfect music for a skateboarder in a major urban area in the 90s who does a lot of drugs and has neglectful parents and violent friends. Basically like the movie Kids.
I get you Jon. I love Deftones and my friends don't. They don't hate the songs and everytime I'd make them listen to Deftones...they will sit through it but they never appreciate the songs the way I do. I feel like this is one of those acquired tastes type of situation. Plus you have to be a certain age to love and appreciate Deftones. I was 15-16 and the self titled album had just released and I was hooked to hexagram for the next two weeks. I don't think I will fall in love with a song like that now...at the prime juicy age of 29. But I can always go back and fall in love with that album and the memories.
I'd suggest reacting to Minerva by them. Real sorta simple, classic rock style and could really move Simon considering he really loves the melodic side of Opeth, he may appreciate the real melodic side of Deftones too!
this song has pop elements with the lyrics. Think david bowie or boy george. these lyrics are very emotional meant to touch some one who can relate.
OMG Simon likes Rock? I’m subbed to your fitness channel, I randomly clicked on this video and saw you. Keep rocking man!
I can't stop playing this song.
Simon give this an UP!
“Deftones takes you somewhere…so i just start shutting my eyes”
I totally feel the dude who likes Deftones. 100% That ethereal place... I love Deftones and I adore this song. I could die anytime listening to this track I would die just happy... It is a feeling and a state of being. Either it resonates either it doesn't :)
Deftones is very unique, alternative and psichodelic. Is something that take time to develop the taste
Deftones are so Good!!! I think there isn´t a specific place to Deftones...they are what they are. Deftones are unique!
Agree about White Pony but for me on first listen I was lookin for the heavy so only a couple tracks stood out but then I found myself going back to songs that didnt quite strike that nerve the first time. Such a good album.
I love Deftones! Their latest albums is so amazing, but maybe try one of those harder tracks like "Elite" or something of Adrenaline. I will say that White Pony is a favorite album of mine and I do tend to listen to their more ethereal stuff.
the first reaction to one of my favorite songs that I found randomly
With you Jon. Deftones jsut speak to me especially this track
Simon is like me when I first heard it. Jon is like me now. Love Deftones but I can't explain why.
That's his vocals making the crazy sounds
Deftones is definitely a genre. It’s sexy, seductive, emotional, heavy, dreamy and so much more. Each track is a landscape within it’s own right and they’re little stories every time. Some are super duper deep too and very disturbing
I didn't like this song at first, but over time it became one of my favourites.
Please do more Deftones!
Very honest reaction. Thumbs up. You should explore TOOL. -> 46 & 2
GREAT reaction gentlemen! I would say take some time, and listen to them with headphones for the next few times rather than a video ETC. DEFTONES have always transported me somewhere else, and given me that glassy eyed euphoric feeling. Anyhow, I have something that might BLOW YOUR MINDS! Can you guys scope out SHADOW OF INTENT - "The Heretic Prevails"!!!???
The one video underwater is sextape. And chinos voice is an aquired taste. I think I love it so much because this was one of the first metal bands I heard as a little kid.
The radiohead of metal. Spot on.
I did not expect Simon Miller when I looked up "Deftones reaction"
Facts same happened to me 😂. I’m subbed to his fitness channel
Love deftones my junior high music an wat they fucking rock man lol
Some fun "weird" metal suggestions:
Maximum the Hormone - ALIEN
Devin Townsend Project - Juular
Archspire - Involuntary Doppelgänger :)
Hey Simon! Big fan of Ups and Downs
Simon 'I just need to listen to them more' Miller
React to ghostemane he is a very metal influenced rapper, some good songs are "nails" "d(r)own" "axis" and "mercury" but i recommend you listen to his whole album "hexada" i feel like you guys would really like it
It's a long one but Extremophile Elite by Between the Buried and Me is insane. Also Farewell Mona Lisa by Dillinger Escape Plan
This is such an incredible song!! Chino is the man!!! 🤘🏼
I'm here to remind you to please listen to run the jewels please Simon will love it
Should have had him listen to something like Hexagram, Change or My Own Summer. All of them can be heavy, but also have very melodic guitars/vocals tracks or even both.
Actually any song from Diamond Eyes could probably be heavy enough.
My fav sic song man
This is a cracking channel lads. Bloody love the Deftones but I often see them as more of an 'album' band then straight out singles. A react to Melt Banana - Shield For Your Eyes would be hilarious. They make quite the first impression.
You should also review the acoustic version of this song
You could show some more of their heavy stuff like engine no. 9 or elite
I think to get into deftones you should definitely listen to white pony, personally my favourites are pink maggit, digital bath and teenager.
Also an enormous Opeth fan, and I would recommend easing your way in with their album Damnation. I think In My Time Of Need is a great place to start and gives you a good feel of the band
Since he's a metalhead i would have started him with something off of Diamond Eyes, and probably warn him prior that the lyrics are usually poems.
Greatest band of all time. Cheers
i miss these 2
This track is great to drive too
HOLY SHIT, IT'S SIMON MILLER! lmfao! Im so used to seeing him on whatculter related stuff that when i saw the thumbnail i just stared at it going,"y does that look like simon miller feom whatculter?!"😂
I’ve heard them be described as the ‘Radiohead of metal’ so many times
I would've thought TOOL were more the Radiohead of metal, but this is still a fair comparison. Anyway, I really enjoy the early Deftones albums...your dream comparison to them musically is PERFECT. I'd describe Chino's lyrics as poetically vague.
Very melodic and by far my favorite song by Deftones, passenger is a close 2nd
Or just more machine head- a farewell to arms or clenching the fists of dissent. Been pushing lost in Vegas for some MH for ages now but they aren't biting.
My 2d favorite song from my 2d favorite Band. Deftones are like Tool. You ether get it or you don’t.
The B-Sides and Rarities album by Deftones is one of my all-time favorite albums... but Passenger is, IMO, their absolute best song, partly because of the co-op with Maynard, but mostly because it is just purely atmospheric and melodic. You should do a react on that one "Passenger" alternatively, their cover of "The Chauffeur" (Yes, it's a cover of a Duran Duran song, rofl) off of the Rarities album.
I struggled listening to this band originally as I didn't allow myself to feel the music. I didn't understand what their lead singer was saying most of the time, while the lyrics were often left up to the interpretation of the listener, causing more confusion. Deftones was a band that I fell in love with the more I heard them, because I allowed the music to evoke an emotion within me, and understood the lyrics in a way that made sense to me. they are by far my FAVORITE band today and I listen to them daily. As spoken here however, it took repeated listening to songs and a considerable bit of time.
Guys, i have a little question - how you use songs, who defended by license?
Deftones till the end!! 🤘
Aye, what's up? my british fellows! Deftones are a great band to listen to chill out, and smoke weed too!
I wonder if this song has grown on Simon since this first listen?
Listening to it on laptop speakers didn't do it justice.
Koi No Yokan. Never enough reactions to the album.
Their best imo
In order to “get” deftones you have to blast this song in the car and go from 65 to 90 on the highway
I was looking for a live acoustic version of this song and I was like wtf is that Simon from whatculture
I usually describe them, like, Hush Metal. I know that's not a genre, but, to me, that sounds like the closest thing I could describe them as. Like, really fucking heavy sounds from the instruments working amazing well with Chino's soft, melodic voice. Just pops up to me as Hush Metal.
I love this song I listened to another an it was too limp bizket for me but this one is beautiful
Lol what was that pink maggit? That one was very “limp bizkity” but most of their music is nothing like that
Just found this channel guys, great video. If he's looking for Deftones with a more metal hook, play him "Bored." First song off their first album, and they led in with a bang.
You guys have potential as far as chemistry. I can tell that y'all are buddies. You blokes gotta step up the production, however. We aren't even seeing what you're watching. Love from the 🇺🇸
Dude, is not THAT hard to get
No shit, man. It's not like he doesn't "get it" in the most literal sense...it's just how people tend to say they don't like something to someone who's obviously stoked about it.
@@kennygerberich4985 it doesn't always gel the first time. Its not a case of being "hard" to get. Some people just don't get it first time as it doesn't always resonate with them first time
For a metal fan that likes that metal side of things ....I’d suggest 7 words by deftones and possibly after that mx. Those two songs got me when I was just hearing deftones. Then it was knife party, and all of white pony. Knife party is deep and disturbing, When I the girl screams, she screams in terror. Respect the opinion though, and I love deftones. It’s my chill metal
Nice reaction. Check out sextape by deftones. It's one of my favourite song from them.
Jon show him some of the heavy tracks
You should check out clipping. - Story 2. Never heard of it until yesterday, and I was very surprised. Only rap song I've heard that has multiple time signatures. Unfortunately, it's very short.
