a lot of times when a band bends or redefines a genre the genre they used to be categorized as, the word post- gets added. so like post-rock or post-metal. except post gets added to everything eventually.
Deftones, is my driving music. Late night, windows down, roads empty, and Deftones blaring on the system. Only my headlights and Chino's voice guiding the way
Exactly my experience with White Pony after it came out. A friend of mine moved to the middle of nowhere at that time, about an hour away from me. I drove to her house many times at night and left early in the morning. I remember loving how there was nothing out there along that route and no cars on the road. It was strangely comforting, knowing I was alone, and that road belonged to me while listening to this album.
The song is about an abuse of power in a romantic relationship. He’s picked a girl manipulated her into what he wants but the girl doesn’t see it as abusive and being with him makes her feel alive. “ I pulled off your wings, I laughed” - pulled her ability to leave him and her sense of self “ I watched a change in you, it’s like you never had wings”- shes now devoted to Him and he’s manipulated her into being what he wants “ you feel so alive ..I watched you change” - she feels alive with him she needs him to survive and he’s enjoyed watching and manipulating her going from an independent person full of promise to his devoted play thing. “ you’re on fire”- now he thinks she’s sexy and hot because he’s made her into his devoted “ perfect woman” Look at the cross Gave you a gun blow me away- he’s saying he knows he’s done wrong and the fact he’s changed her and when it comes to it, his day of judgement the fact he’s destroyed her will be the ultimate decisions on if he goes heaven or hell.
You guys have no idea how incredibly beautiful it is to watch two dudes discover and fall in love with the brilliance that is Deftones. You promised us more in this video, and that was 4 months ago. Get to it, gents! As you guys can imagine having heard these two tracks, there are too many incredible tracks to make just one or two recommendations, so my recco is to just review the whole album you've been listening to-White Pony!
It’s absolutely amazing to watch songs that have been the soundtrack of my life being discovered for the first time after all these years. Deftones are just one of those bands that literally saved my life. Love your channel!!!
As a deftones fan, watching someone listen to their songs for the first time is awesome! I agree, Chino Moreno’s voice is very sexy 😉 they have new music, still tour and are amazing live.
@@e.m.8184 It grows on your. 4 really strong songs - Hearts/Wires, Phantom Bride, Prayers/Triangles, LMirl. A few other decent songs. And others that were experimental but didn't work. Better than SNW and Adrenaline, imo. But you can argue quality wise, they've never made a weak album, just things that weren't the taste of some.
This is a golden age for music culture, this channel represents that perfectly. Metalheads and hip hop heads interacting and appreciating all genres of music. I'm glad people are looking at music for what it is, just music. Art can be expressed in many forms, no reason to limit yourself to one form. The first band I got into was Linkin Park (who blended metal, rap, and eventually pop) so seeing this is awesome. Keep up the amazing work guys.
I love this comment. There is so much enjoyment to be gained from all genres of music. There will always be preference for individuals, obviously, and there is no need to wall yourself off from enjoying music because of peer pressure. Be a free thinker and enjoy whatever brings you happiness.
I totally get a kick out of watching the smiles on your guys' faces as soon as each part that gets you comes on. As a 20+ year deftones fan.. i understand.
Dustin Myers - That's also my interpretation or the feeling I always got from it. A person with evil intentions is changing someone for the worse and stealing their innocence and purity. The evil person gets joy from it but once the change is complete the evil person looks at the cross and feels guilty and hands the victim the gun because the evil person now feels sick about what they've done and wants to die. I may be wrong but it's definitely an awesome song that's dark, twisted, and unsettling.
I always thought it was sexual, using metaphors for dominance play. Pulling off the wings could be interpreted as undressing and restraining someone, laughing is a power move. Looking away from the cross could be seen as rebellion or simply implying that what he’s about to do is bad, and yno... the gun is his penis, he presents it to his restrained partner and asks to be “blown away”. At least that’s what I got from it. Lots and lots of sexual stuff.
wonder why you guys never reacted the song Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) it’s literally one of the best songs they ever made, but anyways it was nice seeing this video again after a few years
Chino Moreno: "It's a metaphorical song. You could take it in the literal sense of me watching someone turn into a fly and taking them home with me and pulling of their wings and laughing. It spawns from me being a complete a--hole and getting the complete repercussion for it by having my life taken away."
I have never commented on anyone's UA-cam, but I watch you guys and love the channel. If you like deftones, I can't wait for you to hear passenger. It's deftones and tool together!
Monet Jensen Hell yes! I saw them twice back in the day and would love to see them again. They're still making great music too. You're the shit too. I'm gonna check out your review for sure.
They used to be played on the channel Fuse all the time. Also, Minerva by Deftones. That song is HUGE. You've Seen the Butcher is another song that is fucking nice.
Man, that opening riff, the eerie sound that carries through and then bass line comes in and then the VOCALS start...alllll smiles. I'm so glad you guys chose this one. Deftones bringing that weird sexy vibe, man. Gotta love it.
Passenger should be your next Deftones song, for sure. Also, check out A Perfect Circle - "Pet" or "The Outsider". I think you will dig them if you like this style.
Or the package or the hollow, or the outsider. Is it just me or does a perfect circle have a lot of songs that start with "the" in the title. Honestly I want to hear what they think of "the doomed"..
im 46, love and listen to all kinds of music. any and all genres. Been to hundreds of shows/concerts. Deftones is on my long list of fave bands of all time. One of the most unique bands ever from a tonal/sonics point of view. The songwriting is as deep and complex as you could ever ask for. Their musicianship is accomplished and fluid. Really dynamic music that will test any audio system's dynamic range and bring all but the best subwoofer setups to their knees keeping up with the resonances in the recordings. The seductive way Chino backs off, teasing and daring the mic to even hear him as the band drops into soft melodies, then suddenly they explode with a massive wall of crushing riffs and drums beating your brains in always made me think of some evil 50's starlet enticing me around a corner into the path of a war machine that i then have to flee from..The only bad thing about Deftones is I can't turn them up enough to fit how bone crushing they can sound..... the volume knob always runs outta gas... I was lucky enough to see them at a college bar not long after Around the Fur dropped. I was in my 20's. My buddy spotted Chino (lead singer) playing Galaga alone so we went over and said hello, told him we dug his music alot, usual fan shit. In spite of him telling us he was pissed off at the band and didnt wanna be backstage with them at the time, he was still cool as hell to us. Offered to sign our tix stubs and chatted with us like we were bro's till he ran outta time and had to go get ready to play their set.. ... They came out and blew the doors off the place. I saw alot of shows there over the years and this was the only one where I saw someone plant their foot on the ceiling. Pit was going full on donkey kong apeshit. Insane energy..........Couldnt tell there was any kinda rift going on with them. Total professionals. There was a dude that anchored himself in the front of the crowd and was singing every word at Chino thru the whole set like he wrote it all... Every now and then Chino would point the mic at him and let him do a line or two... Rock N Roll bad assery to the fullest.... Saw em 3 or 4 other times over the years. Always a good show.
drew4567 White pony is a great album, great sound, but lost some of the fury Around the fur brought. The same can probably be said about ATF after Adrenaline. All good but very different feel to each
Mr. Fakename yeah, their albums after Saturday night wrist had more of a fantasy feel. The stuff before White pony was heavy and screamy, and everything in between ATF and SNW (including SNW) seemed kinda more artsy and provocative to me. All great albums though
So think of the change as in personality, he took an “innocent” girl home laid coke on the glass “pulled off her wings(angel)” and then laughed because he knew what he had done. It’s fairly straight forward. Chino was wild and everywhere lyrically but still up to interpretation.
Chino said this song was about being a horrible person and destroying something beautifull. I always thought it was about falling in love with a girl , and then manipulating/controlling her into a miserable being during the relationship. (like taking her wings/freedom away)
I love watching people discover them!! I have LOVED them since adrenaline! My fave song is still Minus Blindfold off that first album. Y'all should check it out!!
This is so funny I cant watch the whole thing now, I'm not the typical person someone would expect to be into the Deftones (Black Dude hip-hop head) but Deftones are like my favorite rock/new metal band. To discover this now is cool but when it dropped early 2000 it created the vibe along with a hand full of other bands. The video for Change in the house of flys was dope when it came out. I had to go buy the CD, not one bad song and the album never gets played out to this day. In 2000 I could watch a MOP, Jay-Z video and then flip to Deftones or Korn and be chilling all the same. I guess I was in the "minority" of black dudes doing this. I feel sorry for you if you missed this time era because of cultural indifference (An assumption) at the I'm happy you guys can appreciate how good these genres are in the present day. Good music is good MF music. These reaction videos are great, I flip to the metalheads watching the WU and its the same story. - I'm subscribing
Around the Fur for a more aggressive, rap/metal sound. Diamond Eyes has more of their "commercial", easy to listen to riffs (Which, I'm not saying is a bad thing). I feel like, if these guys were to listen to anything from the self-titled album, that their opinions might change slightly...that album is one of my favorites because of its intensity...but it is much different than White Pony. The next song I'd like to see these guys react to, however, would have to be Leathers from Koi No Yokan. That song is powerful and catchy AF.
PhoenixXZY I really like Diamond Eyes bc of its heavy 8 string stuff. And lyrics. Fuck. Fur and Pony are crazy, self titled and Saturday are haunting, and Eyes and Koi combine these feelings with some modern approach
While I like Team Sleep, I don't feel they are as exciting or impactful as Deftones. There are only a few songs from Team Sleep I can see these guys enjoying, I think that Deftones should be where they stay for now.
PLEASE react to Yes "Roundabout". It's my favorite progressive rock song of all time. From 1972. I would love for you guys to hear a classic progressive rock song. I think your ears are ready. :)
WOW the deftones were constantly in my years from ages 13-19. Digital bath is another great tune from the same record! Its great to see other black dudes being open minded and not getting clowned like i did back in school. keep it up guys!
Yo i just discovered your channel and i'm loving your honest unbiased feedback on them . I just spent 3 hours watching your videos non stop and then this new video dropped and that doesnt happen so often to me lol . Keep bringing it
Enjoy! I did the same thing when I discovered this channel. I love seeing their reactions to songs I've heard a billion times. It's like hearing them for the first time again.
Deftones put out the sexiest tunes out there. Also, their lyrics are notoriously cryptic,so don't sweat it. Just keep on listening guys! This was fun 😉 Aaaand yeah, Abe Cunningham breaks balls playing the drums. Totally underrated drummer. ❤️
One of my favorite Deftones songs of all time. Best pretzel playlist song is called Sextape oddly enough. Could definitely smash to most of their discography though. Love the reviews.
Once more Showing Deftones the appreciation they deserve!! ❤️ YES!! Deftones is sexy ass music I wish was played in clubs, cause I could dance to them all night long!! Check out Crosses!! It’s another band that Chino (the singer) sings in.
I remember seeing the music video for this song on MTV back in the day. I don't remember them getting on TRL much at all back then, though. The Deftones are a band that has always somehow flown JUST UNDER the mainstream radar. Arguably one of the most popular underground bands ever. As I said in the Digital Bath video, their live shows are second to none! The lyrics are so abstract that I feel like they aren't meant to be taken literally at all, just crafted to provoke certain feelings from the listener (just like the music does). Great review guys.
In the metal genre they are massive, but in the music in general ? They are pretty damn underground for a band that pulls out so many people in live show.
You guys need to listen to the whole White Pony album, it's one of my favorites of all time and probably the best Deftones album. Cheers and do some "Machine Head - Bulldozer" when you get the time!
Started listening to Deftones when I was 13 when their first album dropped and my parents were not happy, then Around the Fur came out and my pastor father and my piano playing mom at church really liked it! Especially Be quiet and Drive.
White Pony really is a great album all the way through. If you guys liked this and Digital Bath, you'll definitely like Passenger if you are able to get around to it. Please do Curse You All Men! by Emperor!
React to Diamond Eyes - Deftones. You're gonna LOVE that one! :D BTW. I think that Change is about changing a person for the worst and feeling guilty about it. (Like being responsible for someone's drug addiction)
PetarBlade Štrok I also think it's about changing someone's life for the worst, but I think that the person feels little if any guilt whatsoever (lines like "I pulled off your wings and I laughed" and "I give you the gun blow me away" seem to be him taunting the person)
Deftones are one of the most underrated bands of our generation. I mean that in the sense that so many people have slept on them and have no clue how great they are. One of the greatest bands ever in my opinion! RIP Chi Cheng!
Love deftones man, have since highschool. I bet you guys would like cheVelle-hats off to the bull, definitely one of their more recognizable singles with a fat bass line. Cheers
This was fun lol
Lost In Vegas have been waiting for this! Love you guys
white pony is a great album top to bottom.
Lost In Vegas someone pour ice water on George. His face the first few minutes looks like he’s contemplating if he can smash to this.

Dude. Exactly.
For me it’s stone temple pilots
The song is about an abuse of power in a romantic relationship. He’s picked a girl manipulated her into what he wants but the girl doesn’t see it as abusive and being with him makes her feel alive. “ I pulled off your wings, I laughed” - pulled her ability to leave him and her sense of self
“ I watched a change in you, it’s like you never had wings”- shes now devoted to Him and he’s manipulated her into being what he wants
“ you feel so alive ..I watched you change” - she feels alive with him she needs him to survive and he’s enjoyed watching and manipulating her going from an independent person full of promise to his devoted play thing.
“ you’re on fire”- now he thinks she’s sexy and hot because he’s made her into his devoted “ perfect woman”
Look at the cross Gave you a gun blow me away- he’s saying he knows he’s done wrong and the fact he’s changed her and when it comes to it, his day of judgement the fact he’s destroyed her will be the ultimate decisions on if he goes heaven or hell.
@lostinvegas nailed it
I'm pretty sure Chino said the song is about himself changing in a personal sense like everybody does in life.
I’ve interpreted it similarly
Light and Misa. 😯
Very interesting

I honestly believe every single Deftones song is fucking amazing.
Every single album of them are great, as the songs too, so they really have to listen to all the album's by themselves, tbf.
makes me happy
I feel the same way seeing them discover this. Deftones have been instrumental in my life soundtrack. So many albums and they are all amazing.
I couldn't agree with you more, Timothy Baird!
Deftones Be Quiet and Drive!! yall gonna dig it!!
They'll love that track.
2 best songs by them.
Defo this tune!!! Get it on guys!!!
^^^^
1st Deftones track I heard.. almost like a hard drug!!!!
As a longtime Deftones fan it is so much fun watching you guys hear it for the first time and completely get it.
dftns19 yes yes.
Yesss!!!

they are my favorite band, by farrrrrrrrrrr

Brandon P. Same, Deftones has saved my life as well. It's so cool seeing them experience something that's been so special for so long.
Brandon P. totally

As a deftones fan, watching someone listen to their songs for the first time is awesome! I agree, Chino Moreno’s voice is very sexy 😉 they have new music, still tour and are amazing live.
I love his voice sooo much, one of my favorite rock singers for sure
You guys are always so respectful with all kinds of music. I respect you so much for that!
Y'all are honestly the only reaction channel I like. Seeing you two get excited over this music makes me so stoked hahaha
I love this channel and literally just found it yesterday... I've already watched 15 to 20 reviews!
Exactly
from Queen Of the Damned sound track one of the best sound tracks in my opinion.
I agree. Freddie vs. Jason soundtrak is my second
Amazing soundtrack
Oh yes 🤘🤘
DBZ is where I first heard this song.
Strange land soundtrack is amazing
Deftones has been one of the most consistent bands for the past twenty years. There isn't a weak album in their catalog.

Josh Homme bro I love that song so much
He's right but you should also check out Be Quiet And Drive..... holy SHIT that song is incredible.
They would love anything Around the Fur era
+1, the first song I have heard from them and it's amazing ✊
I totally get a kick out of watching the smiles on your guys' faces as soon as each part that gets you comes on. As a 20+ year deftones fan.. i understand.
Just knocked out a 30 hour drive blasting these guys entire discography nonstop.
Good for you. For real.
Did the same lol. They evolved fantasticly.
Song is about changing someone for the worst and watching them destroy themselves.
Like hooking a close friend onto a drug they can’t kick.
Passenger or My Own Summer

Chino said "Change (in the House of Flies)" is about himself

They reacted to Rosemary yesterday, so there is still some hope my friend! 🙏

Ben Wa That’s my favorite Deftones song.
Fave! Also “beware” fire 🔥
dope ass song
Sextape, yaaaaasssssss!
This song is an incredible piece of work. So heavy yet classy and creepy and beautiful all at once.
Deftones - Knife Prty, Minerva, Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away). Any one of those would be great.
Tempest
Cherry waves!
I have never commented on anyone's UA-cam, but I watch you guys and love the channel. If you like deftones, I can't wait for you to hear passenger. It's deftones and tool together!
Bryan Smith fuck yes it is
Glad you guys dig Deftones. I mean how can you not, that's some of the smoothest peanut butter out there.
I am so so happy you guys enjoyed this so much. Deftones is my favorite band.

I'm really surprised they ended up on Change over BQAD
I am living for these, this band has been one of my faves for decades. I’ve seen them live y’all will bug out of you see them live . Chino is amazing.
My publisher and I rated their discography here
salutemag.com/salute-ranks-deftones-discography/amp/
Monet Jensen Hell yes! I saw them twice back in the day and would love to see them again. They're still making great music too. You're the shit too. I'm gonna check out your review for sure.
Awesome
Thank you! :) I saw them in 2016 they are just finishing out their world tour.NIN should be going back out soon I think so I'm ready for that.
Deftones transcend all genre's. They've got so many variations. Chino Moreno is just a legend.
They used to be played on the channel Fuse all the time. Also, Minerva by Deftones. That song is HUGE. You've Seen the Butcher is another song that is fucking nice.
Minerva
You've Seen the Butcher 🤘
Minerva 🙌🏼
You’ve seen the butcher is sex in song form.

You want "smash-worthy", check out Beauty School by these guys. I heard it's about exactly what you'd want in a smash-worthy tune
My Own Summer (Shove It) is one of my favorite songs of theirs. I think you'll absolutely love it
eddievangraham awesome choice! I think they would really dig Be Quiet and Drive
YES
My favorite as well
Machine head...davidian. Really cool seeing someone experience this music for the first time. Love the channel and your views on great music.
This song is my favorite song by them, it's so emotional and powerful in it's presentation and just general meaning to me
man all I want to do is sit around and listen to music with you guys.
"i took off your wings" - he take someone's freedom to fly away
"give you the gun, blow me away" - to let the person have their freedom again
Deftones- my own summer.....mic drop
I 2nd this. Or even quadruple this. Their best song imo.
I discovered Deftones when I got the Matrix soundtrack (best soundtrack ever in my opinion). Been a big fan ever since. My Own Summer is awesome.
THIS
Yes yes yes!!
Couldn't agree any harder! THE BASS IS INSANE IN THAT SONG FELLAS!!
The ENTIRE White Pony album is absolutely amazing! Not a bad song on it and all that unique Deftones Atmosphere! 🔥
Deftones - Around the Fur
Deftones - My Own Summer
For when you're ready for round 3
drew4567
White pony is a great album, great sound, but lost some of the fury Around the fur brought.
The same can probably be said about ATF after Adrenaline. All good but very different feel to each
Yes, My Own Summer!
Mr. Fakename yeah, their albums after Saturday night wrist had more of a fantasy feel. The stuff before White pony was heavy and screamy, and everything in between ATF and SNW (including SNW) seemed kinda more artsy and provocative to me. All great albums though
Definitely My own summer
My own summer..definitely my favorite
“Have You Seen the Butcher” by the Deftones is definitely a song about pretzels lol.
So think of the change as in personality, he took an “innocent” girl home laid coke on the glass “pulled off her wings(angel)” and then laughed because he knew what he had done. It’s fairly straight forward. Chino was wild and everywhere lyrically but still up to interpretation.
Chino said this song was about being a horrible person and destroying something beautifull.
I always thought it was about falling in love with a girl , and then manipulating/controlling her into a miserable being during the relationship. (like taking her wings/freedom away)
🤜🤛 you get it. Taking an angel (innocent girl) and showing her the dark side and sitting back and watching her evolve into something else.
This is what I always thought to getting a sweet girl hooked on drugs
The sexiness of Deftones lyrics is that vague aggression you feel with someone you love... angry sex
You’ll love passenger. As well it features Maynard from tool. Their voices compliment each other so well
Philip B agree
Fact 🤟🏻
“Passenger” is the song you want on the pretzel list.
I really can't wait for you guy's to hear Passenger
I love watching people discover them!! I have LOVED them since adrenaline! My fave song is still Minus Blindfold off that first album. Y'all should check it out!!
Agreed.
Knew this would be incredible. Smashed that like before it even started. You two are amazing!
Since you guys like Deftones' White Pony so much, you should do a special video and review the whole album.
1000 times yes. a nearly flawless album.
I would die of absolute happiness
PLEASE
Yup.
joyelenor, every album of theirs is that way
The meaning of this song his that he introduced her to drugs. You guys are cool as hell lol
Captain Gnarly Davidson Exactly!
Clutch - Electric Worry. Gotta give them a listen. They are fantastic.
Welcome to the world of Deftones. Deftone’s “Be Quiet And Drive”
One of my all time favorites
Great song. The acustic version though I'm not much a fan of.
I like that one too. I remember it from the Little Nicky soundtrack. Not as good though. I agree
I always thought that was a pretty solid soundtrack
Yeah this one's sick!
Omg. You guys are seriously coming thru tonight!
lol
Top 5 Deftone songs: 7 words, Engine no.9, My own summer (Shove it), Be quiet and drive, Knife party, CLASSICS!
A Perfect Circle- Judith!!
This is so funny I cant watch the whole thing now, I'm not the typical person someone would expect to be into the Deftones (Black Dude hip-hop head) but Deftones are like my favorite rock/new metal band. To discover this now is cool but when it dropped early 2000 it created the vibe along with a hand full of other bands. The video for Change in the house of flys was dope when it came out. I had to go buy the CD, not one bad song and the album never gets played out to this day. In 2000 I could watch a MOP, Jay-Z video and then flip to Deftones or Korn and be chilling all the same.
I guess I was in the "minority" of black dudes doing this. I feel sorry for you if you missed this time era because of cultural indifference (An assumption) at the I'm happy you guys can appreciate how good these genres are in the present day. Good music is good MF music. These reaction videos are great, I flip to the metalheads watching the WU and its the same story. - I'm subscribing
rexoner2000 You just explain myself to a Tee(Akin to yourself). 2000's and all this that we had available to flip back n forth too was amazing times
YEESSS More Deftones! There is so much more sound to discover from these dudes!
PhoenixXZY i'd say Around the Fur and Diamond Eyes would be (with Pony) the most important albums to understand Deftones' wide range of styles
Around the Fur for a more aggressive, rap/metal sound. Diamond Eyes has more of their "commercial", easy to listen to riffs (Which, I'm not saying is a bad thing). I feel like, if these guys were to listen to anything from the self-titled album, that their opinions might change slightly...that album is one of my favorites because of its intensity...but it is much different than White Pony. The next song I'd like to see these guys react to, however, would have to be Leathers from Koi No Yokan. That song is powerful and catchy AF.
PhoenixXZY I really like Diamond Eyes bc of its heavy 8 string stuff. And lyrics. Fuck.
Fur and Pony are crazy, self titled and Saturday are haunting, and Eyes and Koi combine these feelings with some modern approach
How about team sleep
While I like Team Sleep, I don't feel they are as exciting or impactful as Deftones. There are only a few songs from Team Sleep I can see these guys enjoying, I think that Deftones should be where they stay for now.
When 'Queen of the Damned' came out and I heard this, I was in love
I subbed WAYYY back when you had less than 20k subs... this is one of the songs I always wanted! Great job yet again!
PLEASE react to Yes "Roundabout". It's my favorite progressive rock song of all time. From 1972. I would love for you guys to hear a classic progressive rock song. I think your ears are ready. :)
They would love this
I don't think they are that into prog. But yeah that song is pretty straight forward
Seconded!
Yes this. Also porcupine tree. Trains
YES!
Passenger - Deftones feat. Tool's singer
Gustavo #TeamRaza Mayner
This song reminds me of the Dragon Ball Z Cooler movie. Iconic.
As a huge Deftones fan now, that was the first Deftones experience I had.
WOW the deftones were constantly in my years from ages 13-19. Digital bath is another great tune from the same record! Its great to see other black dudes being open minded and not getting clowned like i did back in school. keep it up guys!
They know the Digital bath song. They reacted to it.
It makes me so happy that y'all love them! Do Knife Party or Be Quiet and Drive by Deftones!
Fans have been trying to figure out Deftones lyrics for years! Don’t bother guys, just enjoy them. 😄
it's about taking las drogas. guaranteed. maybe other things too.
It’s Deftones, it’s about drugs or fucking, or both.
I love watching ppl react to songs I rlly rlly love it makes me so happy
Deftones are to me what Berry White was to my parents....
Hahahaha! yeah man
Me too ...very sexy
I have to agree, hahahaha
Deftones is love, Deftones life.
One of my favorite bands. Love your reactions! You wanna hear a good one by them react to Cherry Waves 😈 would love to see what y’all think
Sarah one of my favorites please do cherry waves 🤘🤘🤘✌✌
I second this. Please do Cherry Waves.
yep cherry waves please!
Cherry Waves or Beauty School!
Cherry waves is great. I wanna hear them review these
Sextape
Deathblow
Passenger
Knife party
Root
2:57 how did George replicate this later part of the song when he hasn't heard it yet 👀👀
Thought this too
Did they actually say they'd never heard it?
i replayed it cuz i thought the same thing
dude yes!
I heard it to and thought it was a coincidence but no way
Yo i just discovered your channel and i'm loving your honest unbiased feedback on them . I just spent 3 hours watching your videos non stop and then this new video dropped and that doesnt happen so often to me lol .
Keep bringing it
Sai Sankar Same with me
Enjoy! I did the same thing when I discovered this channel. I love seeing their reactions to songs I've heard a billion times. It's like hearing them for the first time again.
Deftones put out the sexiest tunes out there. Also, their lyrics are notoriously cryptic,so don't sweat it. Just keep on listening guys! This was fun 😉 Aaaand yeah, Abe Cunningham breaks balls playing the drums. Totally underrated drummer. ❤️
Deftones feat Ma feat MJK [Passenger] next, not because it is requested so much, but it's just the right thing to do.
I love how yall appreciate all these different song genres. Yall just love music
Chino has another band called Crosses, their song Bitches Brew is 🔥🔥
This one is the best
I don't know if anyone has mentioned Clutch, but if you are looking for "smooth" music, look up Clutch - Big News 1
Hell YES. Electric Worry tho! :D
Oh yeah they need to react to that song! One of my faves!
I second this
10001110101
WarGamerGirl Yesssss!
One of my favorite Deftones songs of all time. Best pretzel playlist song is called Sextape oddly enough. Could definitely smash to most of their discography though. Love the reviews.
I love watching them work out the lyrics. It’s so much fun following along.
Y’all should react to “diamond eyes” next time y’all listen to deftones👌🏼
Ivan Rivera hell yeah
Once more Showing Deftones the appreciation they deserve!! ❤️ YES!! Deftones is sexy ass music I wish was played in clubs, cause I could dance to them all night long!! Check out Crosses!! It’s another band that Chino (the singer) sings in.
Or Team Sleep
Man you gotta do Passenger by Deftones. It also has Maynard. The lead singer from TOOL in it. My favorite Deftones song by far.
White Pony is a legendary album! It deserves a full review.
Please react to DEFTONES - "Be Quiet and Drive" next guys!!!
I remember seeing the music video for this song on MTV back in the day. I don't remember them getting on TRL much at all back then, though. The Deftones are a band that has always somehow flown JUST UNDER the mainstream radar. Arguably one of the most popular underground bands ever. As I said in the Digital Bath video, their live shows are second to none! The lyrics are so abstract that I feel like they aren't meant to be taken literally at all, just crafted to provoke certain feelings from the listener (just like the music does). Great review guys.
Charles Lizana I agree with most of what you said, but i think calling Deftones underground is an exaggeration.
In the metal genre they are massive, but in the music in general ? They are pretty damn underground for a band that pulls out so many people in live show.
You guys need to listen to the whole White Pony album, it's one of my favorites of all time and probably the best Deftones album. Cheers and do some "Machine Head - Bulldozer" when you get the time!
Mario Lemon dude good suggestion! I love me some Machine Head!
They should evolve and start reacting to full albums. You tuber Weaboo does it and it’s quite entertaining
Started listening to Deftones when I was 13 when their first album dropped and my parents were not happy, then Around the Fur came out and my pastor father and my piano playing mom at church really liked it! Especially Be quiet and Drive.
Passenger by Deftones features Maynard James Keenan from Tool.
YESSS, this is my favorite Deftones song ever, loving this.
White Pony really is a great album all the way through. If you guys liked this and Digital Bath, you'll definitely like Passenger if you are able to get around to it. Please do Curse You All Men! by Emperor!
agreed. the White Pony album is probably their best work.
My absolute most favorite band of all time! Love you guys getting into them.
Hey germany here..again😀Change is one of my fav. Songs..and you both are very cute😊😀👍
React to Diamond Eyes - Deftones. You're gonna LOVE that one! :D
BTW. I think that Change is about changing a person for the worst and feeling guilty about it. (Like being responsible for someone's drug addiction)
PetarBlade Štrok I believe that's what the meaning is as well.
I believe I’ve read it’s about watching someone go through heroine addiction
PetarBlade Štrok I also think it's about changing someone's life for the worst, but I think that the person feels little if any guilt whatsoever (lines like "I pulled off your wings and I laughed" and "I give you the gun blow me away" seem to be him taunting the person)
PetarBlade Štrok I think is about someone that you love and she is changing and you can't stand that.
yes i love diamond eyes
Listen to Deftones - Rosemary
Banger. Mainstay on roadtrips.
One of my faves. Love the album as well.
Deftones are one of the most underrated bands of our generation. I mean that in the sense that so many people have slept on them and have no clue how great they are. One of the greatest bands ever in my opinion! RIP Chi Cheng!
Love deftones man, have since highschool. I bet you guys would like cheVelle-hats off to the bull, definitely one of their more recognizable singles with a fat bass line. Cheers
I've always been more into Chevelle.
I've been requesting Chevelle for months
Amber S well this thread needs to blow up and get their attention 😎
Eric Erickson there's simply nothing else like them. Amazing trio
Sunset Algorithm Agreed! Hope it does! Not many requests for them that I've seen, so glad to see another!
White Pony is a masterpiece of an album. Glad you love the band! 🤘😜🤘
