Deftones is a rock band formed in 1988 in Sacramento, California. Deftones has released 6 studio albums to date. In 2008, bassist Chi Cheng was seriously injured in a car accident in Santa Clara, California, and has remained in a minimally conscious state since that time. With a temporary replacement bassist (Sergio Vega), the band managed to complete and release their sixth studio album, ''Diamond Eyes''; the album they were preparing as their sixth before Cheng's accident, ''Eros'', may be released in the future.
The band's distinctive musical style is often disputed by the band's fans, and trying to categorize them will result in a lot of [[Internet Backlash]]. Specifically, a lot of the band's music has a lot in common with [[Nu
The band's magnum opus is generally considered to be either ''White Pony'' or ''Diamond Eyes''. The band is generally considered an influence on [[Nu
Current lineup:
Line 46:
* [[Alternative Metal]] / [[Alternative Rock]] - Hard to tell. Many think they aren't the latter, though.
* [[Big Fun]] / [[Fat Bastard]] - Chino used to be a pretty skinny guy; [http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/360725/Chino+Moreno.jpg this is what he looked like.] But around the time the band's self-titled album released, [http://tlakuilokalli.blog.com/files/2010/10/deftones-chino-moreno-small1.jpg he looked like this.] He has since lost weight, however.
* [[Careful
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]] - Quite a few songs on ''Adrenaline'', but particularly "7 Words" and "Engine No. 9"
** NOT A FUCKING THIIIIIING <ref>from "Rats!Rats!Rats!"</ref>
* [[The Cover Changes the Gender]] - Done heavily with the ''B-Sides and Rarities'' release.
* [[Cover Version]] - They've covered: "Savory" by Jawbox, "Wax and Wane" by the [[Cocteau Twins]], "Simple Man" by [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]], "Sinatra" by [[Helmet]], "No Ordinary Love" by [[Sade]], "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" by [[The Cure]], "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" by [[The Smiths]], "The Chauffeur" and Nightboat by [[Duran Duran]], and "Drive" by [[
* [[Creator Breakdown]] - The band went through this during the recording of ''Saturday Night Wrist'', almost breaking up due to internal tensions. It was especially bad for Chino, who was also dealing with drug addiction and a collapsing marriage. The music reflects this occasionally, such as with the line ''I hate all of my friends, they all lack taste sometimes'' from "Hole in the Earth".
** Several tracks on ''Diamond Eyes'', particularly "Diamond Eyes" and "976-EVIL", are about Chino's reactions to Chi Cheng's car accident.
Line 57:
{{quote| '''Chino''': This album right here [the White Pony re-release] is not the album that we turned into the label. As far as we're concerned, the first edition was the record. Done. Then they talked us into re-releasing it with another song on it, and it's not like I'm against the song or whatever, but I liked the sequence we had when we first turned it in. When this version came out, a little part inside all of us felt like: 'Fuck! We just totally compromised.' And I know that a lot of our fans felt bad about it too.}}
* [[Hidden Track]]- "Damone" off of Around the Fur.
* [[Indecipherable Lyrics]] - The verses of "Lhabia" and some of Chino's [[Careful
** "Crenshaw Punch/I'll Throw Rocks at You" even has some lyrics officially written as "incomprehensible".
* [[Intercourse
** "MX" is at least partially about this.
** "You've Seen The Butcher"
Line 79:
* [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]: Just look at [[The Other Wiki]]'s [[wikipedia:Deftones#Musical style and influences|description of their style]].
* [[Non-Appearing Title]] - Probably a majority of songs.
* [[Nu
* [[One of Us]] - the instrumental track on ''Saturday Night Wrist'' takes its title from the Konami Code. "976-EVIL" is named after [[
* [[One-Woman Wail]] / [[One-Scene Wonder]] - Rodleen Getsic on "Knife Prty". It's kind of hard to miss.
* [[Perishing Alt Rock Voice]] - Chino Moreno, when not screaming.
Line 94:
* [[Take That]] - "7 Words" is a [[Take That]] to racist cops, with some unusually (for Chino) direct lyrics.
* [[Textless Album Cover]] - The re-release of ''White Pony''. The band name and title are on the inside back cover though, and thus are visible through the clear cd tray.
* [[The Cameo]] - [[Sepultura
* [[The Walrus Was Paul]] - Chino Moreno's songwriting at times can become [[Mind Screw]] material.
** I REALLY WISH THESE SNAKES WERE YOUR ARMS <ref>from "Kimdracula"- there's another band called "These Arms Are Snakes"</ref>
* [[Vaporware]] - Kush, Steve Carpenter's side project with [[Cypress Hill
* [[Word Salad Lyrics]] - "Bored" in particular, but a lot of their songs have this. Chino Moreno comments on this:
{{quote| [Sometimes] my lyrics don't deal with specific topics. I write down on paper the feelings of the moment, it's not easy to explain the contents of the lyrics or give a logical sense to the words.}}
