  • @dungsitta and Korn also released their demo album, Neidermeyer's Mind, in 1993 ; )

  • @dungsitta Yes that's true but Korn released their first album in 94 while the Deftones released theres in late 95.

  • oh wow look at the view. I did a cover of this song, for fun

  • creamed my pants

  • the singers vocals reminds me of tom yorke from radiohead

  • all tone def means is that I have to pump deftones louder.

    DEFTONES!!!

  • anyone can sing a wrong note, it takes a real man (or woman) to sing it loud :D

  • I LOLED HARD OMG

  • i've had to buy this dvd about 5 times. 4 times because i've played the mess out of it the player scratched them up. the 5th because my roommate cracked it and i forced him to drive out to the only mall that had it.

  • Chino is an extraordinary singer. He conveys strong emotions through his voice, not just tones... He speaks to your inner self and if you can hear him talk to you with his music, then you know what I'm talking about. If not - then you may want to check this dude /watch?v=-aB0iQkC7kk That boy sings perfectly in terms of tone, but he is weak at transmitting the emotion of the song, so he fails with this song. So learn to listen to Deftones, because their music is a gift from heaven.

  • One of the best examples of artistry I know of. The band's specific brand of sound doesn't spare me any goosebumps. Chino ALWAYS goes in for the kill

  • to be honest i love his singing in this video, it shows how even he is sick he still goes on for his fans, it shows that this band is 100% raw no lip syncing here so keep on moving, no auto tune no nothing just guitars, bass, drums, and vocals i respect him for singing and i love how his vocals sounds lol but thats just me

  • you can hear in his voice how messed up his chords are. by the sound of it he shouldn't even attempt to sing, but he still pulls off beautiful work. God bless you, Chino

  • deftones rule ,chinos voice is amazing ,best band ever

  • 1:20 :'-( Get well soon Chi

  • if u would just listen and here how much comes from the heart, then u would kno

  • The Transitions were cool between each video. And I believe Deftones started that thing called Nu Metal, I mean damn, just because Korn got more radio play doesnt mean that they found that sound. Deftones invented it, and they own it. Sorry Godsmack, Sorry Korn, Sorry Linkin Park Lolz

  • @RJTheRaccoon1992 Deftones said that they were never nu metal, and that's because they've been alternative metal since day 1. But yeah, they definitely laid the groundwork.

  • @sh8dyw8yz They were tagged as Nu Metal by press and others. The point is they beat Korn

  • I saw them do Digial Bath on Leno few years back and it KILLED! Chino was brilliant!

  • Regardless of what Anyone thinks I think his voice is amazing. Very unique an so eerie and emotional you can tell it's coming form his soul.

  • chinos lyrical influences are widely varied, björk is one of his influences, which largely explains why he sings how he does.. he puts emotion before technical precision, which in my book is what defines a true musician. anyone can practice for years and years and years and get reall fast with their fingers or their double pedal-technique or whateve the case may be, but you cant learn how to convey emotion in such a raw form, youre either born with it or you arent, and all of these guys are.

  • Do you guys not hear the emotions that are woven into this song? The man is a lyrical genius! Hold your tongue and respect the artist.

  • Awesome song, you try to sing it. Even though he was sick he still sang it better than most people can. This is real music

  • he wasn't that bad, but wasn't the best of times. Traveling after a while can do that. Getting sick and whatnot. I give im props for still giving it his all. Anyway he is good singer, I like his style. Pretty original. And I"m not just saying that cause it's cool to be undergound. They usually really give it all in performance. They all seem tired here.

  • still leaps and bounds over beyonce without autotune

  • Comment removed

  • Whoa!! Chino!! Shut up already! How embarrasing!!

  • i think this video was just plain bad

  • Lol, its like a bunch of drugged up hippies trying make sounds.

  • im not trying to start an argument but his voice sounds really bad in this video

  • @XLshred, Your right Chino does sound off horribly. Must be the drugs and alcohol.

  • unfortunately some people just have a bad performance vocally or sometimes it's just the song & the voice just isn't up to that particular song.

  • It looks like they're on the island of Lost...Did they have a jam session with Charlie? :-D

  • so it's emo for metalheads, so what?

  • By the way live in hawaii was a huge fail. It was mixed by retards. So bad.

  • the problem with deftones is that they are "cool" and therefore appeal to posers with no actual idea what music is. Teenage girls are all like "I love the deftones, but not their music" WTF IS THAT ALL ABOUT? IDIOT POSERS.

  • d34dfl3sh - That isn't a problem with the Deftones. That is a problem with idiots.

  • like their best work

  • Their not media whores and they dont like to be specific they state clearly their open to change music.

    Thats why their voice and style never is on or off.

    Its just them.

  • Comment removed

  • your a little bitch

  • pause at 1:48 lol

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA THAT MADE MY DAY!

  • haha

  • he does a job on letterman show,back when the song first got released.

  • gr8test band ever!!!!!!!!!!

  • did he not get nodes on his vocal chords at one stage? If he did then his voice at the time is great cause some people that get them removed can never even speak again.

  • he was having vocal problems at the time dick.

  • i don't think there is anything wrong with his voice here. and i've seen them live before and he was right on key. it was an awesome show.

  • Comment removed

  • i bet you look like SHIT

  • his voice sounds awsome why do you think they call it Deftones,,,, tonedef. he sings wacky on purpose even the harmonics from their guitar players seem like they are off so they don't sound predictable

  • actually he had a really bad cold in hawai (thats where they are) and his voice was gone

  • @dennytothez I dunno what the hell YOU are talking about cuz that was so awesome.. I went blind!!

  • I'm sorry, I LOVE the deftones, but Chino sucks live. I've seen it in person.

    It's like your mind meets him half way there because you've heard the albums so many times.

  • i think it happens when he's playing guitar at the same time. same happens with me, i'm fine until i pick up a guitar then everyone cups their ears. he said he'd stop playing guitar on eros so we can look forward to that.

  • Chino takes chances with his vocals and pushes his range to the utmost extreme, it takes balls and adds to feeling in the songs. Cedric (the mars volta) does the same thing, no they arent going to sound exactly like they do on the record, do they still move you when you see them live? Yes.

  • WORTHLESS CUNT

  • lol. chino's poor voice takes plenty of abuse but when it comes to recording an album chino's voice is simply amazing

  • Wow, the coke has really got his voice fucked up here.

  • so why are you watching the video?

  • My god... I've never really appreciated Deftones... but fuck. This is unreal....

  • My hearing isnt wonderfull but I love his voice and guitar playing. Effects dont matter to me. I like to look at music as a 1 contributed piece.. Not vocals, bass, drums, guitar, turntables. I just have a problem with the epic singing like Iron Maiden and judas priest.. I seriously get sick from that. Its because they emphasize the vocals too much. And I just hate the opera singing.

  • Comment removed

  • i love how chino sings generally soft, but at the same time it can become violent

  • He Screams, grunts, sings normally and melodicly while playing guitar.. Hes my Inspiration... I dont care, even if im a 1/100 as good as he is, ill be a proud fucker for sure!

  • vengan a Perú xfavor

  • too all you muppets saying chino cant sing for shit.... the bands called DEFtones, mite have something to do with it?! and yes he can sing, its just deliberatly sharp or flat to make it very eerie, he pretty much always sings in flasetto aswell do any of you sing and know how hard that can be??? probably not. but yeah fucking awsome band, awsome vocalist, very very clever musicians, who else do you know that sounds like them?? i cant think of any band that does.... point made....

  • Can all shut the fuck up and listen this beautifol song

    if you don't like chino voice it so simple just listen something else

    in my opinion Deftones rocks so thumb up:)

  • @bigspliff01 true that. plus there was that period where his vocal chords were blown but kept going anyway. He seems to be on point again now. love deftones

  • @bigspliff01 TOOL and KoRn came before Deftones but yes they are still fuckin good ! He sang bloody well in his hey day but fucked up his voice over the years with screaming etc

  • @bigspliff01 are u stupid, he has 1 of the best voices around, nothing to do with purposely sounding flat! gimp

  • @semilental your an idiot and cant read, i love his voice!! i aspire to SING in a similar fashion to him, im a vocalist, classically trained and have been singing for nearly 19 years, i think i know what im talking about LMFAO!! if u had an ear ud hear flat and sharp tones. enough said really.

  • @bigspliff01 yeah ok why dont u take ur 19 years of being classically trained and shove ut up ur ass im a vocalist too but iv never been trained i never needed to be, u probably did, and where hes sounding flat in the other live bit is cos hes having a bad vocal day gimp!

  • @bigspliff01 Dude I love his voice its perfect for this kind of music... its eerie and beautiful at the same time like you said.. u try singing like that all the time XD I love singers like that and like maynard from tool or the singer from interpol.. an Eerie sound is the perfect way to put it.. Deftones is coming to my town and the tickets are sold out!! FML!!

  • @bigspliff01 youre right and on top of that he has totally damaged his vocal chords from giving everything he has in his live shows. people should appreciate that not pick on it

  • @bigspliff01 i nvr heard some1 say he cant sing what tone def society do you live to hear such a untrue comment

  • @bigspliff01 Lol the mars volta singer is awfull life... yet they are awesome.

  • @bigspliff01

    Follow that motherfucker lol.

  • beautiful

  • to be fair you have appreciate how demanding the voicals are for chino in deftones. your average band doesnt stretch their vocals like he does. thats part of what makes deftones such a great band

  • yo e visto a los deftones en vivo y el chino moreno no suena tan mal como en el en vivo de este video , todo el mundo puede tener un mal dia y listo , arriba los deftones !!!! .

  • Ah cabron!!! Saca el alarido...jajajaja 2:15

  • Agreed this siux.

  • i agree with you 100%. ive seen them live also and his voice really does suck live. its weird how the studio can make things better.

  • @ridethewave003 its called auto tune, industry standard these days

  • you fuck play the whole acoustic!!!!!!!!!!! come on man for real and if the recording you found was like this, than find the whole one, damit!!!!! lmao

  • Awesome acoustic version. i love Deftones. Chi looks waaaaayy better with short hair too!

  • but but but!!!

    dreads!!!

  • they picked a cold time to go to Hawaii then i guess

  • omg this doesn't do him justice. I think they compiled the two worse vocal recordings of him and posted it. I'd like to hope that he's actually much better vocally than how this video potrays him because I really LOVE this album. hhhhh this is me being disapointed but hopeful. :( Luv Jenn-

  • This gets the mojo going!

  • it's mainly the difference of regular to acoustic. personal favorite album is either Saturday Night Wrist or Around the Fur.

  • Fuck no I've seen them live and Chino's Vocals Were Fuckin on point!!

    Touring and singing takes a toll on the man,but as soon as he rests and gets back to it....Pure Dopeness :D

    Haterz!

  • this is the greatatino version of this song !!!!!!

  • so far this entire section involving other vids like this hav had awful vocals on them...a deaf bat could do better

  • he was sick! lay off the man...everyone has their off days at work...

  • DAMN!!!! His voice SUX!!!!!!!!!!!! His voice was awesome up till the third album. Well, because of studio work but live he SUX!!!

  • this is right after he had vocal cord problems..... he sounds alot better now

  • it wasnt that....it was because he was sick....

  • this was an amazing (!!!) video, thank you so much for sharing

  • it is the problem with the singer, he can have the most impressive voice of the world and sometimes the worst... but I like the atmosphere even with his bad voice (more natural) ^^

  • ohh fuck i want an acoustic bass....

  • same here

  • whoever edited this is an idiot...should have just done the acoustic one and not mixed it...horrible idea

  • chino cant exactly nail it on this one but 3:07 was kick ass!!!!!!!

  • oh chi...<3

  • i like the song but this? o_O

    i'll stick to studio vs.

    this song still rocks.. but just not live.. or at least this vs.

  • ok im sorry chino just sucks here and screaming isnt a good excuse, i mean he doesnt scream alot, theres plenty of screamo bands which do more screaming and can still sing, but whatever they still continue to be my favorite band, not like his vocals on their albums we own will start to suck right? lol

  • yeah, when it goes to the electric at around 2:00 his vocals are weaaaak. idk why.

  • He needs a vocal coach who can help him build his muscles and scream without damaging his voice further. Melissa Cross is a well known coach and has instructional dvd's that work if you exercise and breathe properly. Chino is fuckin bad ass I hope he takes care of himself and works his chords more often.

  • i wonder why you're getting downvotes.

    His live performance was absolutely TERRBLE!

    I love deftones, and their acoustic stuff is great. but this performance is a disgrace.

  • I know right! I love deftones too, his voice sounds shot to pieces here though. People just get defensive for many reasons. Chino has a long history of doing damage to his voice and hopefully he takes better care so more musik can be made long term.

  • his voice always sounds shoot cuz he cant sing but there a good band though none the less

  • melissa cant help him now its abit late plus the method he uses to scream sounds awesome but it sint a very good one so that made his voice even worse

  • nameless1245 it's never too late. Maybe too late to be exactly like his younger days but as long as you have vocal chords and a diaphram then you can still do more to help perserve and/or improve your voice. He has to stop doing dumbass things like drinking before singing which basically dehydrates you. Some people can smoke and drink and still sing well enough but for most that isn't going to work. He isn't a great singer but really lucky to have such a unique vocal sound. Thats what saves him

  • He isn't the best singer ever but the drama in his quivered vocals and the creamy smooth style come off really good at times on a better performance. But sometimes like this one shows, he can sound bad. But I rather have somone that gives it thier all then resort to lip syncing the entire thing. And sometimes when he is fucked up it only adds more drama to his vocals and melancholic style. But I'm really happy he can still give out fome good performances after so long. His screams are wicked.

  • the part on the beach is very good but the live part is terriable! its like 2 different bands!!

  • whassup with chino in this song?

    i know he is sick in this DVD, but wtf with the lyrics?

    it seems like he can't get focus in the song.

  • ESA ES CHINO MORENO LOS MEJORES!!

  • YEAH!!!!! lol bad ass band

  • heeeeeeey, thi sis from the deftones live in hawaii. i have the dvd lol.

    deftones fucking rock!

  • yeah, screaming? suicide silence is a fucking earache (example of scream band) deftones, example is knife prty, in the middle, you cant copy that... thats true and meaningful... emotional even

  • @ devinroberts1984

    lol.. the name of the video is music in high places.. means chino is HIGH.. and that explains the vocals in the video, go see other videos..

    IF U THINK UR SO FUCKING GOOD SCREAMING FOR 8 YEARS THEN COVER VIA VIDEO THIS SONG AND SHOW HOW ITS DONE ELSE SHUT THE FUCK UP!! fucking know it all noob...

    @ isaacsosas

    you dont know what ur talkin about either but ur a deftones fan so whatever

  • @ devinroberts1984

    dude ur gay..

    whats this shit about screamin from the bottom of ur throat top of ur throat.. it doesnt even matter if u scream thru ur ass u piece of shit its about screaming thru ur soul u fuckin mechanical failure of a vocalist...

  • LMAO! awesome comeback

  • sings very

    I am ugly pairs that are not the Deftones

  • even the acoustic shit works...chinos kinda strugglin in his singin but hes still fire

  • Can you believe this guy is 27 and trying to tell me at 24 im a kid, i just realized how retarded you are, nazi bitch is original,

  • Ur a funny kid...

    Nazi bitch? still don't get it. I'm not even white ha ha

  • The Deftones are one of my favourite bands. But I have to agree that this definately isn't the best recording. I've spent the money on the dvd and I still think it. Still love the Deftones. I wouldn't go as far as saying it sucks, it's just not the best. :] Everyone, leave the guy alone, he's entitled to his opinions, just as I am to mine, and you are to yours. <3

  • Nazi bitch? lol damn that sure is original for a fuking kid ur age. man, honestly fuck off ur bloked, no more hateful comments from you even doe I was having fun :p with a chump like u. And ur a liar, u did wrote "I love Deftones" and you did wrote about chino doing coke. Cheers

  • moron, here is the original message "ok EVERYONE, his vocals being ruined has NOTHING TO DO WITH SCREAMING, i screamed in bands for 8 years, and I have a higher range than ever, also... check out Mike Patton, he screamed in faith no more like you wouldn't believe for just about a decade, and your talking the godfather of screaming, plus he has been screaming in a dozen other bands, and he can sing like no other, " does it say any of that, take the time to make sure your right, and 24 is a kid,

  • ok EVERYONE, his vocals being ruined has NOTHING TO DO WITH SCREAMING, i screamed in bands for 8 years, and I have a higher range than ever, also... check out Mike Patton, he screamed in faith no more like you wouldn't believe for just about a decade, and your talking the godfather of screaming, plus he has been screaming in a dozen other bands, and he can sing like no other,

  • So, here again all yo can say is: Ilove deftones but they do drugs so it's fuck'd up and I'll post another fucking hate comment. You people suck, really if what u think is bad pleas don't share ur fucking world with us. Honesty WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK !!

  • are you a moron did I SAY ONE THING ABOUT DRUGS, NO!!, did I say I love the deftones, no, you have got a serious itch up your ass man, so much that you can't handle anybody talking about the deftones unless its, this is awesome, cool, can't wait to see em, FUCKING LOSER, he can't sing well because he doesn't know how to scream the proper way, he uses his upper throat, instead of guys like killswitch singer and mike patton

  • Ok here we go again.... What were u doping ooking the vid? like it? no? THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO TO HELL. If u don't like it it's ur problem, don't share, WE DON'T FUCKING CARE !!!

  • he's struggling!All the years of screaming is taken its toll on him

  • he had shredded his vocal chords. seriously. several dates of the white pony tour had to be canceled because of it.

  • I love chino's gibson sg... sweet strings

  • i love deftones artists do have some bad times remember there human 2.. but i still think it is amazing...

  • Never heard the mellow version of this, but its great, and well done on the mixing of the two. good stuff.

    Check out my cover of my own summer if you get a spare sec. let me know what you think.

  • wow whats wrong with his voice???

  • He must of remember people like u in his tours, thats why he sing like that... chump. He just finish a big tour and his voice is tired, but I don't think u know that since all u do is write shit about artist

  • dude asshole, i love deftones, but guess what, plenty of people scream for months on end, and do full tours and don't sound like that, IT'S DRUGS, I PLAYED IN AN ANGLE IN SACREMENTO, HE USES COKE LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE, ASSHOLE

  • really i think his voice is the same i dont know what´s the diference? the 1 time a heard it for me was amazing

  • Thanks for all the good comments, and fuck off on the bad comments. Deftones rules.

  • good mix mate really good

    10/10

  • Totally agree with you (Isaacsosas) Hate when people do this, just put negative comments up, The truth is, they had just come off a very long tour when they recorded this, and chino could hardly speak after it, he actually thought he mite never get his voice back and he had to undergo a long spell of vocal training, that is why he sounds like that, but to be honest the dvd that this performance was on, chino probly didn't want that song to be put on there, he wud have known he sounded bad....

  • great!!!! super!!!

  • Chino is struggling here for whatever reasons but thats cool because he as well as the whole band have proven themselves to be fucking awesome on many many occasions. Everyone goes through not so good times and I think that it is quite an honest insight into the whole band. They are only human like us all. Besides when Chino is on fire I reckon that he has one of the sexiest voices ever!!

  • great song...but chino needed singing lessons long ago

  • Chino looks like he is gonna puke or something and his voice has never been worse. But it's still good.

  • I think they will go on tour when the have realesed there new album who's caller Eros. That's how bands usually do.

  • the acoustic sounds much better than the rock. Anyone know when they're touring again?

  • this should be Barack's song lol. Change

  • change simple change

  • that just totaly ruined the song... dude! dont play it live ever again.. especially when your hammered...

  • Thats what happens to your voice after you smoke some good pakalolo.

  • dude. 3:06... funniest shit ive ever seen

  • lol i click on that are and all of a sudden hes screammin

  • what's wrong with his voice in this? it sounds really bad compared to any other time.

  • I agree it sounded out of key... the whole band not just Chino. In other words they sounded deftoned lol still love them! 4:28 I hate when Chi does that.

  • 4:28  get used to it!

  • I don't think so :o

  • they're better than madagascar full of naked women... they're so powerfull. Not that I wouldn't expect it, but still... Thanks for the post :). Just bought the DVD due to it.

  • maddog
