  • close enough

  • ruined the song lp u suck

  • Short of the low quality recording, it's not a bad cover at all...

  • at the begining was ok but...RUINED...short of feeling or fake, sorry LP fans this guys are just random professionals

  • shitty drums

  • sounds fine to me, wtf are people moaning about.

  • haters gonna hate.LP is the best forever and ever

  • hate this band, hate this cover... I think emo Atreyu did a better job than these guys xD DEFTONES<3333333333333

  • Would love to see Deftones cover QWERTY, they'd fuck it up big time.

  • @paladinaaron Deftones fuck nothing up YGM

  • @SuperNoble14 YGM? Wtf does that mean?

  • @paladinaaron You Get Me

  • So much hate for a good cover hahahahahha

  • Comment removed

  • where the hell is the shove it? ROFL!

  • they don´t simply cover it but they tell it´s a deftones song so i think it´s ok :)

    to be honest i don´t hear much difference between those versions.

  • fuck lp. long live deftones

  • pretty good.

  • It took Brad Delson 8 months to learn this riff.

  • @100Modem Fucking win

  • Why are people hating on this I think it's pretty good

  • Can't really find any reason for moaning that Linkin Park ruined this... It's not a difficult song at all, concerning both vocals and the guitar part, so... what's there to ruin?

    Good cover, no doubt.

    Still, it's better for LP to sing their own songs. They're best at it.

  • @YuryVVV I personally hate it because of the vocals.Its just not fitting.

  • @YuryVVV yup! agree. typical fan boy douche bags talking here. Deftones is one of my favorite bands but douches who hate on this cover remind me of radio head fans. I can't listen to radio head because of their fans. So douche bags keep living in your narrow minded world while the rest of us find happiness through tribute.

  • That sucks ,Linkin park please die you totally ruined the song

  • Not a bad cover at all, in my opinion. But it's just that, though. A cover. Nothing more nothing less. Yes Linkin Park is NOT Deftones, and vice versa. So what? You know what they say, mimicry is the greatest form of flattery. In this case, Linkin Park is doing what have of you jackasses bitching about it, wish you could do.

  • Suck

  • linkin park are a bad deftones cover band

  • It isn't even have good quality but I know Chester very well and he is fucking god. And It is epic. But if you listen with open mind you can see their talent. BTW really bad quality.

  • If you where at this show and you're reading my comment...I hate you

  • Badass

  • LP is SHIT

    DEFTONES 4EVER!!!!

  • Thru The Years I Started Getting Into LP But From DEFTONES I've Always Been A Fan. My Respects To Them & AWESOME COVER!!

  • I'm a fan of both, I would go ape sh1t if i got to see this live

  • I`m sure that most of these kids down there didn`t hear this song before.

  • great cover.. lol

  • "Chino can't sing anymore"

    That's full of it. I saw them last year just before Diamond Eyes came out, and they absolutely nailed it; Chino can still hit every note perfectly, and that's plus jumping off risers & whatnot.

    As for this cover, Chino will always be my favorite, but Chester handled this one great. Better than the wackjob Atreyu cover anyhow.

  • @thecherrywave I second this Chino killed it when I saw them live this year in Sydney

  • I think Linkin Park did pretty good

  • i used to like linkin park until i heard this song why did they cover this deftones did it so much better

  • That's a more difficult riff than Brad Delson's ever written in his life. 

  • @Incubus941 brad can do way better he just doesn't want to be what he calls a "flashy player" and he thinks linkin parks music doesn't need a lot of guitar stuff because they are more hip hop ans steph's guitar playing is almost like brads not that difficult but sounds awesome

  • @04GUITARPLAYER04 Well that's just excuses. That's basically a way of saying he doesn't know how to incorperate more complex guitar into 'hip hop'. Besides, Linkin Park aren't hip hop, they're alternative metal. A great guitarist can always write complex stuff for whatever type of music they play, otherwise it's just laziness. Besides, most musicians can play better than they do in pretty much all of their songs, doesn't mean they have to suck.

  • Both fucking incredible bands, amazing live performances. i love them both but deftones is my fav band of all time. Lp did such a nice cover of my own summer. props to them ^^

  • @StrawberryEyes0 Actually i lol'd how you threaten me in real life' Master Seregant is that enough, however im after musical university. So stfu, and get it real he Cant sing anymore with damaged throat.I havent said he cant sing anything, but high chords which are most of new album. Go die please, or work as plumber.

  • @rockshow256 what the fuck isyour problem. what the hell did i say? Fuck you, you fucking drunk asshole. i complimented both bands and i have no fucking idea what your talking about. i never threatened you, you stupid fucking asshole. piss off and go fuck your father

  • @StrawberryEyes0 Ignore the kid.He probably wanted to reply to me,cause he's hard.

  • @MikyWrita lol i could'nt even make sence of anything he said lol

    but my bad. ciao

  • @StrawberryEyes0 Peace bro :D

  • @StrawberryEyes0 sorry wrong poster, replied to other guy however i have no idew why it replied to you. And rest stfu plz

  • Not such a big fan of LP but not many people can make such a good cover since chino's voice is unique :O

  • I think LP is way better than Deftones and this cover is pretty awesome.

  • why would anybody be surprised by how good this was, just play the same chords over and over again and get a white guy to scream in a mic.....done

  • No way that Chester is a better singer than DEFTONES.

    DEFTONES all the way

  • @deftones0604 not better not worst. deftones is just deftones.linkin park is just limkin park.. I had the opportunity to see these two bands here in Brazil. linkin park in 2002 (if I remember correctly) and 2010 ...... deftones in 2010. are the two shows I would many times they come. two bands are unparalleled. I've been in more than 20 shows, including last year's festival SWU. but nothing compares to these two bands. I only regret not having gone in fear factory, ill nino. : (
  • Not bad at all

  • Stop hating, and chino cant sing for shit live anymore after diamond eyes due to the fact his throat had been damaged.

  • @rockshow256 Have you even heard Chino live in 2011?He is great.

  • @MikyWrita i did and regret

  • @rockshow256 You are deaf then.

  • @MikyWrita perfect pitch where no one of deftones members have. Dont make excuses, im fan of deftones but they fail hard atm

  • @rockshow256 Nah its just you.Chino has been singing 20 fucking years,and still sounds great.

  • @MikyWrita Excuse me? Youre fucking deaf and retarded, he cant sing ANYMORe since his throat has been damaged. It sucks live

  • @rockshow256 I love when people like you get mad.Im guessing you think Chester is better than him?Chino is great,you're just too stupid to see that.

  • @MikyWrita Nope you're a retard and i dont like LP. Chino throat had been damaged because of screams and he cannot get high chords, which makes him half unable to sing most of songs. Deal with it, Deftones are my favorite but he even has to use halo effect when he sings live. Im not mad, your not just intelligent..sorry mate, truth can't be hidden.

  • @rockshow256 Like you said the truth can't be hidden (implying that the truth is that you're a deaf retard).He rules.You can say whatever you want,Chino is still fucking great.

  • Oh shit....

  • Horrible, how dare they???

  • i can't believe i used to be into this kind of music haha

  • what do you know........ Linkin park actually can play a good song................ too bad they can't make one

  • Not a huge LP fan, used to be... But not anymore.

    This is still a really good, faithful cover. I'm surprised they did such a good job.

  • chester's live performance is better than chino dudes, sorry.

  • @pawtucket89 Not really.In some videos i saw Chino fucks up a lot,but on the ones which he does good,he does better than studio.

  • @MikyWrita Chino is a great guy, I love his style. You maybe right, but I spoke for general.

  • @pawtucket89 Chester is a better singer than Chino, period. Love both bands though.

  • @destructicon500

    how can you love both and put down the other? Both have unique styles and both compliment the artist. DEFTONES POR VIDA!

  • @MissZ0mbie24 I agree that both singers compliment the style their respective band plays, but Chino isn't a great SINGER (mainly live), whereas Chester can really belt it out. Chester's got a lot more versatility in his voice, IMO.

    And just because you love a band doesn't mean you can't criticize them.

  • first: i like it, when other bands cover a song that i new in a... nearly good way.

    second: LP is like LB a good band, okay not my fav, but they do a good work at there kind of music.

  • Yeah people chill out. A cover is a tribute, and Deftones is the greatest band in the world. LP is simply respecting them, just like you do... relax!

  • Deftones is a shit!

  • Linkin park whether or not you think they are good, you have to admit they are a great band. Although I think their old stuff is better.

  • stupid

  • где этот лайв можно посмотреть?

  • @italia10588....no they are definitely fucking retarded!

  • whats next. creed covering nirvana LOL

    lp should die for doing this!

  • fuck.. linkin park should never do a DEFTONES track. wtf... linkin park assholes

  • @sketchyou they shouldn't have touched wish (nin) either.

  • boy, i didnt know they touched nin. damn @138snboehm138

  • singer lacks testicles... LP should have left this one alone.

  • @aaroniusk amen

  • fuckkkk the Linkin Park !!! DEFTONES is KinG Of METAL

  • @scorpion4772 fuck off LP rocks!

  • linkin park is gay deftones fucking rulzz

  • LP sucks they only got a couple of good songs

  • deftones suck and everybody knows it

  • @SwadianMilitary LOL they are far better than crap like LP

  • @SwadianMilitary You might be fucking retarded.

  • maybe id like them for trying this, maybe i should? forget it..sorry

  • HEYY YOUUUUUU BIIIG STARRRRR TELLLL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • Man stop hating on Linkin Park. Just because too much kids/teens got into doesn't mean it's some teen band or because you hate them know. Their 3rd album was just trying new stuff and A Thousand Suns just a concept album. Not the sound they mean to go for in the future. They change and that's cool. Mike's lyrics are great specially now and Chester is considered one HELL of a singer by many critics insluding Rolling Stones.. Top 100 I think

  • Chester actually did pretty good here.

  • @newpa1n hell yea!

  • LP ain't got nothing on Deftones. which is why they have to cover it. hahah

  • @1SpeedDean and u aint got shit on LP, thats why you hate on them on yuotube

  • @BlindNarut0 really? look at these dislikes! you never see Deftones covering a LP song. everyone is over LP already.

  • fuck the drummer !

  • i like how alot of people here hate on LP and talk about how they are garbage when the Deftones and LP are buddies and compliment eachother on their music.. huh. some fans -_-

  • @hiphopnin3 Just coz they used to be friends it don't mean we have to like them both. We like music if we like it, we don't have to like it coz our favourite bands do.

  • @hiphopnin3 You can still be a Deftones fan and hate LP. It's not hard

  • @hiphopnin3 really? last i heard, deftones didnt like these guys, or atleast didnt like touring with them, which i kinda find the same exact thing :/

  • ATREYU WAS BETTER BUT MUCH RESPECT

  • nope. aint the same without chee-know

  • regardless of whether i like lp or not, this is the best cover ive heard of this song..... band sounds tight too. not bad

  • Chino uses filters alot now so he dont have to scream, he just shouts through the filter and it sounds like a scream.

  • @DrDazzleFTW have you actually watched videos of Chino live? He misses out alot of the words to songs and his live performances are no where near the greatness of the studio tracks. I'm a deftones and a lp fan, and i can easily that chester is a better singer, although they have very different voices.

  • Linkin Park are gay posers .. just like limp bizkit

    they dont even come close to Deftones or any other great band

  • @downsync and because auf that the deftones got much more success then lp haha?

    fag :D

  • Chester had the scream down. They did a hell of a lot better than Atreyu on this song, too.

  • Tool and Deftones are the two bands you do not do a cover of b/c they have their own unique and definitive styles and sound. LP you suck anyway.

  • what the hell happened from 2:23 to 2:40

    were people leaving the show?

  • Pinkon Lark, Pimp Bizkit, Dreec, or any other of the molested, conforming shit bands that rape everyones minds would exist if it were not for bands like the Deftones, the Beatles (John Lennon), Elvis, Rage Against the Machine, Meschuggah, Primus, Mr. Bungle, and morons like you all who don't know black from white.

  • @defhed70 but Limp bizkit and deftones appear at the same time in the nu metal

  • His screams are DESTRUCTIVE!!!! 

  • you guys think to much, music is just fun. It's fun to cover, fun to write, fun to play. Anyone who says other wise just don't knoooooooow.

  • it was a good cover still dont like Linkin Parl though

  • you r out of your mind if u dont think chester killed the shit out of the chorus...not a huge linkin park fan but that was tight

  • @HydraFXhfx he didnt kill it. he just screamed, its not hard. its not like chinos is so inovative and different.

  • To be honest those saying linkin park are "shit" are idiots and just jealous of the talent within this band. i do like some of the deftones and obviously they do this song better cuz its their song however the deftones lead singer is tone deaf. instrumentally and vocally linkin park win everytime and also linkin park are amazing live and deftones suck live but i like to listen to both bands. 8D

  • @CommandoJD shut up

  • @CommandoJD true xDDD LP FTW, too bad it wont ever be played again live, THERE EVEN BETTER NOW THAN THEN XDDD

  • @CommandoJD You need to understand that bands have diffrent styles. Linkin park sold out. Deftones are still staying true to their fans with their music. Linkin park used to be my favorite band up untill mtm then they became shit. Chester sucks at screaming. Although its opinion, just like u saying that deftones sucks live. So fuck off and die BD

  • @WhatWeveBecomeRadio

    Linkin Park didn't sell out, besides for the tracks they did for the recent Transformers films. A Thousand Suns is very experimental, and has much artistic integrity. Linkin Park and Deftones both stay true to themselves, and if the fans like it, then all the better.

    Chester is incredible at screaming, being in a metal band with a lot of 'unclean' vocals; I know what it takes.

    There is opinion and there is fact, try to differentiate.

  • @fuckenps3 i do understand my man. I am a screamer too bro and chester my friend does not do it right. Atleast to my takes. To be honest that was opinon as well and i know what im talkin about because i can differentiate and i did. To the listeners taste i guess is what im going to leave u with. Even though a thousand suns may be experimental, its a loss to the linkin park metal/rap heads like me who only listen to their underground albums and their first 2 produced and relesed albums.

  • @WhatWeveBecomeRadio Chester can have a little difficulty with some of his screams, but for the most part he can pull them off very well. I think it's because he doesn't have a defined method or technique and just "wings it", most of his skill has been gained through practice alone I think (that is not official statement lol).

    I know what you're saying about the later not appealing to some people, I recommend a good listen of their new stuff though, it's great when you get used to it.

  • This is pathetic

  • shit band covering godlike band..seems fair

  • @devildez Amen

  • Good band covering an awesome band. What's not to love?

  • no chester you doesn't have the right to sing it ! DEFTONES FOREVER !!!

  • Sacrilege. 

  • It sounds like shit? And Chino don't sound like shit? Whatever Chino is a drunk f*cked up Chinese mofo

  • OMG WHAT A FUCKING DISGRACE!

  • fuck linkin park 

  • Shut the fuck up and enjoy listening to two of the greatest bands of this decade: Deftones and Linkin Park!

    This cover is really good..

  • @dom90b

    UMMMM You mean last decade

  • @dom90b Linkin Park are bland, amateur, uncreative, and downright childish compared to Deftones. 

  • @FuckingStanz i agree...i remember around 2001-2004 they were just huge...never understood why.

  • CARALHOOOOOOUUUU!!!!

    

  • Thumbs UP if you think youtubers should just STFU and enjoy the song.

  • good cover. original's way better

    chino's way better

  • linken park..... the "rock" equivalent of the backstreet boys.... and no they don't have shit on the deftones... and least I can't hear his whiny ass voice.

  • not the hugest LP fan...but this was pretty cool

    

  • I don't have anything against LP for covering this song, i think its totally ok that bands do covers... But i disagre that this live version is better then Deftones do it live. Yeah, some recorings from wehn Chino lost his voice ain't that great, but iv'e seen Deftones live, and this cover is nothing compared to Deftones playing this song live. No doubt

  • Chino is more fit for this song, well duh, the original version is his/The deftones's, but Chino aint got shit on Chesters screams!

  • @TheTimster007 Considering Chester had the same screams for 10 years,while Chino's screams changed through every album,many here will agree that Chino is better.

  • linkin park=great band,the greatest!

  • There's a good cover, i don't deny that, but Chester became in an old lady right now. I used to listen LP, but they've change so much.

  • I like more chester's screams but what can you do now when they turned to be a pussycat poppy band.... I wish I could hear these screams again

  • still screams better than Chino..

  • Id rather hear LP do a DEFTONES song then a wack cover band no one has never heard of!!!! DEFTONES RULE!!!

  • Linkin Park covering Deftones? YEA BUDDY!!!

  • DL Link?

  • This is really awesome - and i saw live videos from the deftones playing that song that were worse than this!!!

    But that doesn't matter... it's a great song and it is real, great and honest live music without any playback shit like all the popstars do use.

    So both... LP and Deftones belong to a special class of Bands... and they are both awesome!

  • I both hate and love LP :S This is probably because of ''A thousand suns'' that sucks...

  • fuck you haters they did a good cover.

  • why so many dislikes...WTF

  • Sorry Chester but you aint Chino.... And you never will be....

  • @JPUPPY928 chino is not chester...never will be...see what i did there?

  • Dear Linkin Park, please don't to another Deftones cover ever again. You ruined it.

  • now i hate linkin park so much..

  • AWESOME!!!

    And I love the original. I think their version is passable for sure. Not as good, but a fun change.

  • AWESOME!!!

    

  • omg they just ripped the shit off to an amazing song, im almost crying D:

  • Kind of a very shitty try to be like deftones...

    But what are you expecting from pussy-pop wannabe hard guys?

  • @Spechtologe LP are actually good friends with the deftones i dont know if you knew that
