Deftones a stoner band????

[horror business]

I don't think they would be what would be classified as "stoner metal" or "stoner rock" or any of that, because it's not like their songs are all about pot or being high, and they don't really promote it. I think they are stoners though, and I think they make music that some stoners like, so in that aspect, I guess you could say they are a stoner band, but then again, loads of bands would be stoner bands.

The Deftones are way to creative to be a stoner band

Huh? How does that statement make sense? Obviously you've never sat down and put your mind to work while stoned. Here's a direct quote from Erowid.org, (an extremely reliable source).

"creative, philosophical or deep thinking : ideas flow more easily"

That line was listed under the positive effects column in the Effects section for Cannabis on erowid.

And here's an interview with Stephen Carpenter, guitarist for the Deftones, about how he "will smoke weed till the day i die." HERE

Wow, I haven't heard that one. Don't take offense to it, but you wouldn't be mistaking that for Shinedown's version would you?

And kknight, he's not mistaking it. Deftones did a version as well. It's on their cd, "B-Sides & Rarities".

The fourth time I got high, I got really high, and turned off the lights, and put on Deftones live in Hawaii, the dvd, and watched it, with my surround sound, in my room, with black lights on and shit. It was kick ass. But yeah, they smoke alot of weed.

And kknight, he's not mistaking it. Deftones did a version as well. It's on their cd, "B-Sides & Rarities". I personally enjoy it more than the Shinedown version. I saw Shinedown at the Rob Zombie and Godsmack concert in September, and Shinedown played the whole song all slow and acoustic, except for the last chorus.

Wow, I had no clue. Thanks for the info, I'm searching for it now. Anyone wanna hook me up.

[yoda]

if i can find it, there was an article on ultimate-guitar.com and he admitted to recently starting smoking weed, and he would until he died

i looooooooooooooooove shinedown's remake of simple man, def wanna check out deftones version though

Older Deftones is by far the best. More raw, more visceral, mo' betta. I saw them in concert at Germain a few years ago right when Puddle of Mudd was becoming popular with that smack my ass song. Puddle was the opener then the 'tones and Godsmack was the finale. Best concert ever save Puddle of Mudd they suck. I had front row center tickets and Chino jumped into the audience and did his signature scream about two inches from my face. My and my buddy helped him back over the railing. After that their roadies would bring out inflated balloons the members would inhale whatever was in the balloon and blow out a huge cloud of smoke that smelled like pot so I think they are a stoner band, maybe not stoner rock on the same level of Kyuss though.

BTW Godsmack puts on an amazing show and so does Deftones. I can't stand going to concerts where all they do is stand their with no emotion playing their instruments. I saw Weezer live and have not listened to them since.

I just assumed they were a stoner band since Chino sounds like he's high half the time anyway.

the Deftones are an awesome band, and while they may smoke lots of pot (after the last track on around the fur before the hidden sog starts you can hear someone taking rips out of a bong)... I don't think they are really whats considered stoner rock or stoner metal... stoner rock and stoner metal is more bands like

Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Butthole Surfers, Fu Manchu, Scissorfight, and High On Fire
