During the early 90s, a new genre was taking hold of the youth of America. It was angry, loud and a fusion of several styles of rock, metal and rap. That genre was called Nu-Metal. However, say that to any die hard Deftones fan and you’ll most likely regret it.

Deftones were and always have been wrongly associated with the Nu-Metal movement, despite the fact their music tells a very different story. The band themselves have even rejected the notion of being associated with the genre so how did they come to be mis-genred.

Korn's debut record, which most consider to be the commercial catapult for Nu-metal, hit the shelves exactly one year before Deftones released their debut album, Adrenaline, well, give or take a few days. So in some regards it’s easy to see why Deftones joined the ranks of Korn, Limp Bizkit and even Slipknot when being designated a Nu-Metal band. They essentially rose to fame in the same scene as the red caps, adidas tracksuits and boiler suits.

As much I love hearing about Deftones’s origins, I wish we could hear more about their time between “Around the Fur” era to “White Pony” era. This small documentary just schemed right through like it wasn’t that important. Especially, since Chino’s favorite album is “Around the Fur” from their discography.

Deftones is my favorite band, I feel something that I can't feel even with drugs when I listen to them. Something that transports me to other mental states. Something that touches parts of me that I didn't know existed.

[musicsucks]

Crazy to think they’ve been underground or borderline underground almost they’re entire career but now they’re bigger than ever and are overshadowing bands that overshadowed them for years. A true testament to hard work, dedication and never giving up.

[ChangingCrisis]

Deftones are genuinely one of the best bands EVER, maybe even the best. I don't know many bands who have consistently put out amazing music for the best part of 30 years and are just so incredibly unique whilst at the same time aren't plastered absolutely everywhere. Definitely a one of a kind band for sure

[treepeekerspodcast]

Bro. I'm cousins with Chino. You nailed this documentary. Kudos! Rad as hell 🤙

[danielleite]

Been waiting years for a deftones documentary from you, finally! Rip Chi Cheng, I wonder what Eros would have sounded like had you not passed, rest easy.

I saw them live in Atlanta, GA several times over the years starting from 95 for there first album. It was awesome seeing them and Sugar Ray live during both bands heavier period of music. They were a huge influence for my friends and I growing up in Stone Mountain, GA in the 90s. Awesome time for music and to grow up.

In '97 my buddy, who had been teaching me to play guitar brought me an unopened Adrenaline CD. We put it in, and "Bored" immediately changed our lives. It had been out for a while, but we were living on an Army post in Germany, so our fingers weren't exactly on the pulse of new music. We were already aware of Korn and kind of digging that new flavor, but Deftones immediately hit the nail on the head for us as a couple of adolescent, angsty, aimless kids trying to find our way in the post-grunge era. We spread it all over school and in no time at all just about everyone we knew was a fan. Saw them in Hamburg soon after and I was so relieved they could bring the goods live. Deftones will always be in my top ten bands of all time!

[cameronharvey]

To me what really stands out about Deftones and makes them my absolute favorite bad ever is that exact evolution that Chino talks about. I dont know a single other band that has been as consistently talented, creative, and innovative with their sound. While still delivering the kind of music that fans of the band want to hear. They never completely shifted their sound, changed genres or anything like that like a lot of 90s ish bands did when they "grew up" they always just moved forward. Deftones doesnt have a single bad album, for almost 30 years they have been making consistently incredible music. I dont know a single other band that i can say that about, ESPECIALLY when it comes to alt rock/punk/numetal scenes.

[edwardbates]

This band has had such an impact on my life! Nothing ever comes close to the music they make. Thank you Deftones for being a band!

[therhapsodist]

Passenger, Digital Bath, and Be Quiet And Drive are my favorite songs from Deftones.

[thisisfyne]

Wow! Of all the people I thought we should thank for Deftones, I never thought a guy hitting Stephen with his car and Madonna (?!?!) would be on the list.
The legendary story of a legendary band! RIP Chi, and long live Deftones 🖤

[DaveMustang]

I love this channel. I'm a casual Deftones fan, but the documentaries here are excellent. I just wish they were longer. 😊

[Getupandholdon]

As a huge Deftones fan, this made me an even bigger fan.

[The_R-n-I_Guy]

7 Words is one of my favorites. The whole Adrenaline album is just beyond awesome. I played it on repeat for weeks. The same thing happened when Around The Fur came out. I love all their music. But the first two albums are definitely my favorites. I think a lot of the bands I was listening to at the time all had debut albums that were their best in my opinion. Korn, Limp Bizkit, Coal Chamber, Slipknot, Snot(R.I.P. Lynn), Sevendust and so many more. That was a great time for a music lover. Everybody had debut albums that didn't have a bad song. Damn I miss those days

[drindy]

The fact Chino Marino had such a passion for skateboarding really had me relating to the music and atmosphere this band put out. Absolutely loved Deftones and still do to this day 🔥👊🧡👍🔥

[Kravven]

Im just a 90s kid from Romania and I'm gonna be totally honest here, Deftones is the soundtrack of my highschool years which were my favourite years.. And not just that, they are present with me everyday, still to this day . I've had the opportunity to watch them live, once here in Romania and once in Italy. They will be Forever etched in my heart ❤️

[ianrotten]

IMHO, Deftones are the best band to come out of that weird Era of underground music, and they're still killing it.

[keeper-kpr]

this band has been aged like pure fine wine. i hope my future wife likes deftones

[tywins]

I see Deftones like Chevelle. Never quite get the recognition they deserve but never make a bad album
