I'm not a hardcore fan of Deftones, but the songs I know are awesome, and this is just an awful thing for any family to go through.. My thoughts and prayers are with Chi and his family, I pray he can recover from this, you can just tell that he wants to fight it.
OMG, I can't believe this. As a musician, this has such an impact on me. I was also in a coma for 2-3 weeks, but I only woke up with some broken bones. I am so lucky to have full function of my brain. Oh Man Chi, I'll pray for ya man.
I cant believe something so tragic has happened to such a good human being. I met Chi twice and he was so nice and actually gave me the time of day to hear my blab about how much the deftones had inspired me. From watching these videos it seems everyone had the same impression on him as i did. I know he will improve and god bless him and his family!
A lot of people don't wear seat belts because they fear of getting stuck in them in the event of an accident (my uncle witnessed a man burn alive because he was unable to undo his seat belt after an accident). While that is a statistically low situation to find yourself in, if that is something you fear and a reason why you don't wear a seat belt CARRY A POCKET KNIFE. I'm not sure why Chi decided not to wear his seat belt (and it's not really important) but I hope he continues to improve.
I've never been much of a Deftones fan but I have seen them live a couple times, nothing bad to say about them, but it would truly be a great thing to see Chi back up on stage again playing for the fans that do love him.Sayin' a prayer for Chi...cheers
i love my life ... i love music and i would have never known about this man.. dtones .. i love and i give all of my love to him .. im being selfish for chi cheng .. its all i can really do it will take a while for the the chi in the universe to align to make this happen overnight but ...... i love chi cheng because i never met him .... and i love life and ive had massive concussions and im walking around somedays not knowing wtf im doing so i feel the pain :) .... :(
i wonder if anyone comes over to play bass to him? im sure a good portion of his brain has been trained over the years to respond to those frequencies and rythms.
Seeing him in that state breaks my heart ... I have loved this band since I was 14 years old .. Almost 12 years ago I got to meet Chi and got his autograph, he has always been my fav of the band .. I recently got to see them @ the Ogden in Denver, where I also had my meet n greet .. This band means so much 2 me and I have a couple one love for chi shirts .. I just found out about this doc and I have prayed and pray 4 him. Sergio Vega puts it down but Chi will be back on that stage someday ! XoXo
fuck man its really hard to see him just laying there im used to seeing him on stage.i feel bad but i wish he would just be able to get up and do what we love to see him do.sorry im selfish
@heathsousads Chi is actually responding very well to his treatment can pull himself up at times, can make certain movements. Yes its very hard but there is MOST DEFINITELY hope!! Continue to PRAY HARD!
Thats Torture Keeping him up like that. They can't Tell if he has any needs and he must be just stuck like that. Thats Horrible. If anyone important in my life went threw that i would have to pull the plug. I feel so bad for Chi. I have been a huge Deftones Fan and Chi is a Very Inspiring man. For me as a 13 yo i have always respected these guys and i would never want him to go threw something like this. He must be in so much pain. He's WELL aware of whats going on and can't do anything about it
so my gf was complaining about her day ... i.e.. how her stupid cat with fleas scratched her and how she had just quit smoking and started her period... so i mentioned that it wasn't a big deal cuz i had just watched this documentary about chi's story and recovery.. and you know what she said ? "I Don't give a fuck about some dude in some band!" Guys.. am i wrong or is she a cold bitch ?
It' feels so weird that i'm moved by Chi's injuries. I've never met him in person, but it got me to thinkin.... He was part of my favorite band growing up. For several hundreds of hours Chi's hands liteally moved th subs in my car... It's amazing that this connection to his music, led to emotions due to his injuries.... like i would if this happened to my brother.
We're all connected.
DUDE... WE MISS YOU!!!
GET WELL BRO, SO YOU CAN BRING BACK THE THUNDER!!!
Can anyone verify that Chi is viewing specially edited videos of his past accomplishments to re-emulate (video modeling)? This is so important to 'organically' instil real confidence for Chi. To not do so is a serious omission and a 'dry' approach.
One love for chi, I've been listening to Deftones as long as I can remember, when I was only 6 years old, yes SIX! My brother who loved bullying me showed me Deftones, for some reason I actually loved it as a kid and I picked it up from here, now I'm 18 and I'm going nuts on Diamond Eyes, Deftones have been with me ever since my childhood and still is in my sophomore year, Chi will get better, he will function fully and he will return to Deftones rocking out as always. God Bless you Chi<3
This video had me squaling like a baby...but I know Chi is going to make a recovery,just like gena said he is strong and HE decided he is going to stay and he's not giving up AND NEITHER ARE WE!!!! Oneloveforchi!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH CHI!!!!!!!
If you are reading this, stop whatever you are doing and pray. Pray hard for Chi. Do him a favor and send him back the love that he's showed the world. We all know he deserves it. One Love for Chi :)
To raise 500 000 $ aint hard when you have KoRn, Slipknot, and all new metal bands around. Jon Davis has 30 collectible cars he can afford to give 100 000$ from his own pockets. Just look at 50 cents showing his money like a monkey on youtube.
Man, this is hard to watch. Its horrible to see any human being in that state.
I'm hoping Chi gets better soon. Great bass player. Been a Deftones fan since High School, And its so sad to see a member from one of my favorite bands like this. :(
@ThreeDollaBillYall Me too, been a Deftones fan since the 90s. This sucks, and is hard to watch someone you grew up listening to in a state like this.
It hurts me so much to see Chi like that. I tried not to cry, but couldn't control myself. I sincerely hope that he hangs in there and comes back. If i could, i would give all my money to help him.
From Colombia: We hope you get better Chi, I Know You´ll Make it!!! you are a great man, you make me proud, thank you for being my biggest bass influence and a beautiful person...
i just saw deftones in san antonio last saturday and i have always been a fan...and i hv to say to chi's family if i ever win the texas lottery u best believe im giving millions to yall...keep your heads up we're praying for u!!!
It's really awesome to see some insight as to where Chi is + how he looks, whats so weird is that he looks good, like he's ready to have a beer and pick up his bass! Thank you GINA for all your hard-work, you're amazing, if I ever get in trouble, I hope you're my friend!!! B
my heart is breaking...i followed chi's recovery ever since Gina developed the site. However, on NYeve, i feel down a flight of steps into an oil radiator with my head. I was in the hospital for 2 months and am still recovering. I just found the webpage again, I was so hoping that he was all better by now....also sorry I missed Chi's birthday. I understand sooo much more now...my heart and prayers flow across the country to you and your family...much love fyreniyce aka pirate lady steph
@chuckspritz i just realized i must be signed on to you tube with my son's name, this is stephanie, fyreniyce62@comcast.net. much love to chi and his family.....and to gina....hugs to all prayers coming from PA
Just saw Deftones tonight.Chi's presence was felt through the entire show!Keep fighting it Chi! It's so sad seeing him like this,but I'm not giving up faith.
@charissa218 - after reading your responses it's obvious to me you haven't been following my one love for chi website.. you need to go back and read about dr. defina and his staff.. he isn't the only doctor on his team.. he DOES have a team of docs (medical docs, neurologists etc) working with chi. after an hour you decided another doctor seemed to be better suited? an hour? i spent hundreds of hours researching doctors in this field that had an actual success rate. IBRF was it! -gina
What I still don't get is why all these rockstars can't pull together & come up with the 500k. It wouldn't take very much for them to do it! Whereas all of us would LOVE to donate as much as we possibly can, but for us that's only $20 at a time. Shit, I made my first donation before paying any of my bills. I hope he pulls through from genuine love & not ppl trying to profit on his plight!
@charissa218 You seem quite skeptical of alot of things, but that whole mindset has to be done away with. What I mean by that is the whole rockstar=rich thing. Its just not true. Deftones know alot of bands and the only one that you can safely say are rich are probably Metallica, Slipknot, and Korn (including Head) since they all have mainstream success. But Deftones dont. They can live comfortably, but they are far from rich. But you have somewhat of a point in terms of the pulling together.
@Toshiya1213 Thanks! yeah, I know deftones are primarily a tour band. What upset me is that all the other bands chiming in etc... ARE very well known as you mentioned and yeah, Head and the POD dude and the bigger bands promoting this could do more on a personal level if it really meant that much to them.
@err0r You're telling me that you seriously think the Deftones are rich? I cant even force myself to think that because I know its just not true. Chino said it him self, they have to tour to make money. And they are not mainstream, so its not like they gross millions off of a single tour like Metallica would.
@charissa218 so are you saying that you think this event for chi was to exploit him and make a profit? you are so wrong if that is what you are thinking. we are trying to raise money for CHI.. none of this goes to us.
@OneLoveForChi Thanks for clarifying everything...You are right. I'm sorry for coming off the way I did. I have definitely seen your site, but am new to it and haven't the chance to read through the entire thing. My reaction was primarily to the contents of the video with out much other knowledge, if that makes sense. I always question everything is all. I'm sorry that I upset you! I'm glad to hear what you are doing is legit and good. :)
omg... I met him and talked to him for like 2 minutes after a deftones show in 06. I mentioned that I really got into his poetry bamboo parachute and the fact that I got to see my first deftones show on his birthday back in july 15 2000 and his (Diamond)eyes lit up ,smiled and said " that means alot to me man, and thanks for coming out tonight and to my birthday party 6 years ago" it was a thrill to meet him...Why the fuck do Bad things happen to good people?
chi looks alot better than I thought he would and the latest updates are very promising. Chi can move his arms slightly, and sometimes gives worded responses! And according to an interview I read from Abe, Chi looks at who ever calls him. So this really isn't the time to be losing hope, Honestly I was blown away when I first read about this wake up protocol on one love for Chi, I really hope it works.
@Toshiya1213 seriously gals n guys... we probably won't see him playing again with Deftones or any other band. Just being realistic.. I've seen other similar cases. It is soo sad. Chi is an inspiration.
@pattonPwr I'm shocked that you'd say something like that. When I first heard about the accident a year and nine months ago I said the same thing. But there are people faaaar worse off than Chi. And nobody's kidding themselves here. Chino will be the first to tell you that progress is very slow and between updates there isn't always much of a difference in Chi's condition. But the fact that Chi has improved this much on his own, and the high success rate tells me that Chi will play again.
@DevilDog9 It would take literally a TON of letters, but letter-writing in this age of fucking bureaucracy can go the distance needed sometimes. It's always worth a shot. If it were my fam. member, I'd send 10 letters every day, and maybe they have. I'd gladly send letters for Chi.
I'm not a hardcore fan of Deftones, but the songs I know are awesome, and this is just an awful thing for any family to go through.. My thoughts and prayers are with Chi and his family, I pray he can recover from this, you can just tell that he wants to fight it.

My reaction was primarily to the contents of the video with out much other knowledge, if that makes sense. I always question everything is all. I'm sorry that I upset you! I'm glad to hear what you are doing is legit and good. :)

@OneLoveForChi My main beef was that some of these other bands can't contribute more esp. since us fans can only give $20 or so at a time.

omg... I met him and talked to him for like 2 minutes after a deftones show in 06. I mentioned that I really got into his poetry bamboo parachute and the fact that I got to see my first deftones show on his birthday back in july 15 2000 and his (Diamond)eyes lit up ,smiled and said " that means alot to me man, and thanks for coming out tonight and to my birthday party 6 years ago" it was a thrill to meet him...Why the fuck do Bad things happen to good people?

chi looks alot better than I thought he would and the latest updates are very promising. Chi can move his arms slightly, and sometimes gives worded responses! And according to an interview I read from Abe, Chi looks at who ever calls him. So this really isn't the time to be losing hope, Honestly I was blown away when I first read about this wake up protocol on one love for Chi, I really hope it works.

@Toshiya1213 seriously gals n guys... we probably won't see him playing again with Deftones or any other band. Just being realistic.. I've seen other similar cases. It is soo sad. Chi is an inspiration.

@pattonPwr I'm shocked that you'd say something like that. When I first heard about the accident a year and nine months ago I said the same thing. But there are people faaaar worse off than Chi. And nobody's kidding themselves here. Chino will be the first to tell you that progress is very slow and between updates there isn't always much of a difference in Chi's condition. But the fact that Chi has improved this much on his own, and the high success rate tells me that Chi will play again.
Toshiya1213 1 year ago
@Toshiya1213 Exactly, its only a matter of time. I couldn't agree more with what you just said "Chi will play again".

this is sooo sad , whats his insurance company ? so we can write to them and say How fucked up they are to have dropped him after his injury .

@DevilDog9 It would take literally a TON of letters, but letter-writing in this age of fucking bureaucracy can go the distance needed sometimes. It's always worth a shot. If it were my fam. member, I'd send 10 letters every day, and maybe they have. I'd gladly send letters for Chi.
