But it’s not like I haven’t heard him go on his tangents before and it’s just like I’ll listen for two minutes and then I just can’t, you know what I mean? ‘Cause he’ll just go off into no man’s land.īut yeah it’s kinda tough, because obviously I want to support him-I feel like everybody should have their opinion on certain things here and there, whatever. still friends the way we were when we were kids. We play music, we laugh, we have a blast playing music. It’s weird though, when we’re together it’s like we don’t even talk about any of that stuff. probably doesn’t help being smoked out and all that stuff and whatever.
I will say that the weed probably has a ‘lil bit to do with his conspiracies and this and that and whatever, because he just, you know… And then probably sitting at home, just looking on whatever sites he looks at. But, it was actually tough for a minute, because obviously I’ve been friends with him since I was 10-years-old. “I’m surprised he’s not more of a meme… I think there may be a couple. Moreno said the following about Carpenter : Among them were the conspiracy theory beliefs of his bandmate Stephen Carpenter and the status of the group’s shelved album “Eros.” It’s specific in a way that gets me excited about the new album, Koi No Yokan, coming out on Novemeber 13th.During a recent appearance on “ The Peer Pleasure Podcast,” Deftones’ Chino Moreno touched on a variety of different topics. Interludes aren’t something new for Deftones but this is different. What intrigues me most about this track though is that after the climax, we spend about another half-minute with “Tempest” and let its dust settle.
Chino’s iconic scream tosses right back into the chaos as we got tossed around in the chaos of the closing minutes. A time signature that’s building and slowly spinning out of control while we move into a moment of calm at the bridge – or the eye of the storm to continue the allegory. The word tempest means ‘a violent, windy storm’ and this track produces some heavy gusts. “Been caught in a stasis/The ancient arrival/Cut to the end/I’d like to be taken/Apart from the inside” only furthers the apocalyptic overtones. Unease sets in as Chino Moreno harmonizes with his gasping vocals. Our focus today however is on the second, “Tempest,” and oh how beautiful it is.Ī shimmering guitar picking brings us in immediately to a very tense atmosphere. The first, “Leathers,” a thrashy & coarse demonstration of the Deftones’ heavier side. After the incredible success of Diamond Eyes, which many called a return to the band’s stellar sound found on Around The Fur/White Pony, we’re due for a new release and the singles have started to leak. They toured for four years due to the accident which led to an album ( Eros) being put on hold and some uncertainty with how the band would continue. I bring this up because after twenty years together as a single unit, bringing in somebody new to continue the sound that makes them unique is going to be a struggle. Deftones have been creating music since ’88 and haven’t had a single line-up change until tragedy struck their bassist Chi Cheng in 2008 (he’s been recovering at home as of the latest news, which is amazing to hear).
