lightningxlock Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 In yet more shitty 2020 news, Mark Kozelek of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon has been accused by three women of sexual misconduct. I'm absolutely gutted by this. He's responsible for some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. This comes on a week where I've been listening to his music just about every day and reading his latest book. He's always had a bit of a rep for being a bit of a grouchy arsehole but I hoped that's all he was. I've spent the week thinking he comes off really well in this book and that people have him all wrong. Oh dear. I guess, yet again, it just shows how somebody appears and how they really are are two very different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 2020 is saved as the best band in the world return with a banger. Wasn't expecting an almost stoner rock riff from this, but I am very pleased with it. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm going to go back and have a listen to some Deftones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I can’t think of another band who have been so consistently brilliant over 9 albums than Deftones. I don’t think they’ve ever made a bad record.  Im still hoping that one day Eros will see the light of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) I don’t know, the self-titled album did pretty well and Gore charted at #5 over here. Like a lot of bands, they had a bit of a lull when they experimented a bit. Sometimes you get fans back after a while with the new sound, a lot of times you don’t. Fans a lot of the time don’t want change, but  they never seem to account for these bands being 20 years older than they were when they first got into them. They’re different people now, and with that comes a different outlook on things, and more often than not a desire to try different things Ive never been a massive Deftones fan, I’ve seen them a couple of times at festivals and found them pretty boring* and put that down to them just not being for me, but if they’re trying new things I’m willing to give it a go. * the last time I saw them was 10 years ago, so is in no way indicative of how the band are these days.

I dunno about that. They seemed to have a massive resurgence when they released Diamond Eyes.  During the recording of Saturday Night Wrist they were on the verge of breaking up. They had all fallen out with each other, Chino was deep into drink and drugs and they recorded the album in separate studios because they could be around each other anymore. Then Chi was in that accident and fell into the coma and I think it gave them all a massive kick up the arse and put everything into perspective for them all. It really showed in the music too. They sounded like a new band with a fire in their belly.  People hadn’t been talking about Deftones that much for about ten years, when White Pony came out. It was really a new era for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: ignore me, I've read it wrong and missed the comma. Edited August 23, 2020 by SuperBacon shove it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 23, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2020 yeh, i agree with all that. Id wager that the Around the Fury/White Pony stuff still gets the best reactions live though. I know its not the ideal guage either but the top 5 tracks on spotify are all from those records. Like Sheepmask said, some fans just love a band as a teen or whatever and just stick to those records, its why full album anniversary tours do great business.

I'd say at their own gigs the later stuff gets the best reactions but just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 23, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2020 you may be right, the last time i saw Deftones headline their own show was in '98 😄 i did have tickets to the Wembley Arena show around Gore time though but it got cancelled after the Bataclan shooting 😔 great band.
