My first festival, and honestly, an experience I don’t think I’ll ever fully be able to put into words. Getting to see Deftones, Evanescence, Superheaven, SPEED, Twin Tribes, Slayer, System of a Down, and so many other incredible bands live was genuinely ethereal. There’s something about hearing music that has meant so much to you for years, surrounded by thousands of people who feel the same way, that just hits differently.
I’ll never be 18 at my first festival again. I’ll never get to experience seeing these bands live for the first time again, or feel that same anticipation and excitement of finally being there. I think that’s what makes it so special to me. It’s not just the merch or the pictures I’ll have to look back on, but the memories attached to them and the person I was when I experienced it all for the first time.
I know I’ll go to more festivals, see more bands, and make more memories, but this one will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m just grateful I got to experience something this meaningful at this point in my life. 🖤

For me, the top 5 is:

1. Ending of Electra

2. Risk

3. 2003 Big Day Out 7 Words

4. Nosebleed Demo

5. Vengeance Is Mine (DROID)

I was there and I thought it was a good performance but I guess it's mainly cause they wanted Slayer to go after them but it was still a good performance.

underrated song.

still learning harsh vocals, thought i’d give it a shot

I recently got Gore on cd, and I absolutely love it. I know there's been a lot of posts saying it's super underrated but I'm not hear to talk about that. I'm hear to talk about just how grate (L)MIRL is. This song is one of my favourite songs and I've listend to deftonse hole discography (including Gore), but when I listend to it on cd this song just stood out to me. Its so beautiful and amazing it's just the best, onistly and I'm learning to appreciate it this album and song every time I fully listen to this album!!!

Out of the entire discography, we have been given gems upon gems upon treasures, and plenty more. Sometimes we forget about some of the bangers at the bottom. So, Deftones community, let’s hear it. What is Deftones most underrated song.
I’ll tally up in a couple days to see what happens.
Have a good one!

Anyone planning on rolling and or tripping @ Dia this year? Where’s the meet up?!?! Getting close I can’t sleep!!! LFG

If this is not allowed and deleted, I completely understand. I wrote a book about nu metal and the beautifully chaotic era that gave us the bands we love.

It’s part nostalgia, part music history, and part comedy about why this music meant so much to us and why it still does.

I hope you check it out.

Mine in order, Needles and Pins, Good Morning Beautiful, Bloody Cape

One has Drive and the other doesnt, both are called Saturday Night Wrist, the one without Drive doesnt appear on their discography, why is there 2 it bothers me because i have some of the songs saved and downloaded on one of the albums and the others saved on the other album.
the one without Drive
the one with Drive

its a really good song and would’ve been perfect to end the album

My friends and I are going to Dia de los deftones in san diego for the first time, but we tried looking online for parking, but couldn't find any...

Does the stadium offer parking or do we need to find it on the day of?

I visited a friend's ranch yesterday and mistakingly referred to a foal (juvenile horse) as a pony. I was informed that a pony is a different class of horse which is smaller and stockier than standard horses. That got me thinking and I reimagined the artwork for fun.

Right in front of the stage.

SNW fort worth! Good show

Im interested in deftones side projects so far i only know team sleep, crosses and palms, i just honestly love their music so i wanna get into it even more from different perspectives. If you know any cool fun facts feel free to add them as well :D
