@yosimite20 i've always wondered if the bridge of the "When Girls Telephone Boys" or the "Sinatra" songs couts as solo. other than that, their cover of simple man also features a solo.
well somebody might like this one better. I think since it's probably about his (their) brother being in a coma.. that maybe they deserve- what they want- a bit more than the other versions.

p.s. chi's outlook...bleak. I don't think deftones is a very wealthy band, godbless them ;(
Being a fan of the smiths, muse, and deftones I must say I like this version the best. It is probably because it is the hardest version imo or probably because it is the version I feel in love with first before I knew who the other 2 bands were. although the other 2 versions are amazing also :)
@Hexxedchild Its because people that like older music think that being a twat comes with liking old music. Its like they think old people are ass holes so because they are so fucking hip they get to be ass holes to every one that likes throw back covers.
@Hexxedchild The hardcore Smiths fanbase generally want to emulate Morrissey in every way they can, i.e by having warped politics, a minimalist diet, arrogant persona and stupid hair, being impossible to engage in conversation, and be a bellend in most senses of the word, they can't seem to appreciate that Chino clearly likes this song and wanted to pay tribute
@GerryB1110 first of all, you could at least spell his name correctly, *Morrissey. Why would you even say such a thing, after all he wrote this song you're listening to, and you have the nerve to say that, it's not him that needs to fuck off, it's you.
strange why everything is always a competition about better or worse; subjectivity is deepened when covers cross entire 'genres' [I think genres are only useful in music shops]. In this particular instant deftones + the smiths = once in a lifetime unexpected orgasmic "hmm maybe we CAN sometimes have our cake and eat it!"
Nothing can beat the original I guess, but you must admit, the way Chino sings it totally matches the song topic. " Please, please, please, let me get what I want... ", he sounds damn depressed. He sounds like he has absolutely no force anymore and like he's on his knees, half-closed eyes with dark circles, begging someone to let him get what he wants. Love it.
i dont about it being better then the smiths version, but definitely a great cover. I like how Chino flips it in one verse and says "lord knows it would be the first time". It complements my current misery.
@UnTrustMeNow It absolutely does. That's what you don't get, it's a song about totally being ripped off and cheated out of the one thing you want in life, the distortion and the hazy sound fit perfectly with a song that's basically about spending your life depressed... The Smiths were a band about depression and the Deftones are a band about depression...
I love this. I don't know why people fight, all versions are different, but all good in their own right. And for the record, I'm a huge fan of Deftones, Muse and The Smiths.
The Deftones aren't a really bad band, they have a particular style and that's cool but IMHO it just doesn't suit this song. But hey if you like it then more power to you.
i don't like the deftones, but i think this is respectful. I like most of the smiths fans clicked on here for an excuse to complain, but i'm pleasantly surprised. I really like this as smiths covers go.
daaamn, blown away.. being a HUGE smiths/ morrissey fan i hate most covers of their work but deftones definitely do it some justice. didn't think for a second that they were up to it when i saw the link but i was pleasantly surprised! fuck yea deftones, good shit
not a big deftones fan, but i think they did pretty well on this song. Honestly though i think it would be rather difficult to make a version of this song that isn't awesome.
I love the death tones but I love the smiths hella more, this doesnt do any justice to morrissey, the smiths, or any of the amazing songs they ever wrote together as a band.
Love Deftones and love The Smiths. This cover is amazing, Chino is one of the only men who could pull it off and still make it sound original. His voice is amazing.
It's a good attempt at a better song, but I still like the Smiths version though. I am not taking anything away from the Deftones, It's just that i can connect more with the latter version. Peace
chino always adds his trademark melancholy to a song, it's sad but soothing at the same time. i can see why original smiths fans will be put out by his style but trust me this guy is a very special creative talent.
I will never understand people who are obsessed with bagging musicians for doing covers, and mostly the people are upset that it doesn't sound like the original or think that the band shouldn't of covered it. let em cover what the fuck they like, and as for making it sound the same......Why would you want something to sound the fucking same? why not go listen to the original then? I don't love this version, but I love the song choice.........Good-o!
I adore Muse. They’re superb. I love the Smiths. They’re also sublime. This is the best version of the song for me though, and I’m not even a fan of the Deftones.
idiot you wouldnt even have muse if it wasnt for deftones & the smiths. muse sucks they're un-original and repetitive. they even ripped off blondie. lame.
@shoretotrip Muse weren't influenced by the Deftones ... Plus Muse are incredibly original, that's why they have a hardcore following, because their old stuff was very strange, different and out there. You can't say some one is stupid whilst you rave non-sensical bullshit on a youtube comment. And, how exactly did they rip-off Blondie?
Actually Matt Bellamy has credited the Deftones as being one of his influences. AND if you ever watch the Muse concert on Palladia, they actually play the riff of the Deftones song "Headup" in the transition from one song to the next. Perhaps paying homage to their infleunce...
Stop making statements when you have nothing to back it up with.

I think this version is better than Muse's. But Muse are generally better at covering songs, see "Feeling Good" or "House of the Rising Sun". The Smiths version of this, however, is the best. And I think Muse is the better of all three bands. On all their albums (except their newest one) Muse deliver one amazing song after another, hardly ever a dull moment. But the Smiths can be a bit overly-melacholic and the Deftones can be just plain dull at times.
Hey Smiths fanboys, get off your fucking high horse. Yes Morrissey was a great singer, but he's not some deity on an untouchable pedestal. Deftones did great justice to this song. They're one of the best rock bands out there, due in no small part to Chino Moreno's amazing vocal talents. Keep whining though, it makes the "pretentious indie fag" label look all the more true.
Emotion, even if over a broken friendship bead (likely), is felt here, nice, congrats.
The whole crying, "Chino moreno... pretentious indie fag..." yeah, umm, no, the original is here, I was here, you weren't, you were too busy sucking on mama's teet, or whaterver, to be here for the '80s & '90s music era.
Deftones, fine, not great, NOT SMITHS, sorry, magnificenthomo27.
@BDizDaBest As an indie fag, I love this song, love the DTones. Chino did a great job! This version is righteous to say the least. Johny Marr is a huge deftones fan. Take it from a smiths fan.
@BDizDaBest Haha well...It just so happens, that I am kinda gay, and I'm an indie kid. So I am an Indie Fag lol. On a side note, I just bought Stephens 7 string baritone, and love it to death.
@RelaxedEnergy lol aww did I offend the wittle indie fag? I already said I like the Smiths and Morrissey...it's just that Deftones take massive wet shits all over them and every other indie group combined. No big deal.
@RelaxedEnergy lol you're the one acting like Mr. Music Authority trying to pass off your (shitty) opinions as facts, yet I'M the one showing "ignorance"? That's a pretty big word for an autistic jackass such as yourself, and I don't think you're using it correctly so maybe you oughta look it up in the dictionary again. Oh, and while you're at it, look up "irony" next, rectumrammer. lol
Dear Butt Hurt Dirk, be more open minded please. This is a good cover from a band who grew up listening to the smiths, I can appreciate their style is different but at least it's honest and isn't trying to show off like the Muse version.
@boredomtube There's only one way you can do this song. You can't overlay loads of heavy fuzz guitars over the top of it and hope to do anything other than kill the essence of the song. If they listened to The Smiths, they obviously didn't learn anything.
Hmmm, what would be the point in studiously recreating the sound of the smiths to cover them? there is nothing more humdrum than a band churning out a carbon copy of an existing song in my opinion.
Anyway regardless, each to their own i suppose, as we know, taste is subjective, the most important thing is to throw away all pretensions and critique honestly.
@BDizDaBest You're totally right. And I love Deftones as much as You do but in one point you're wrong. Chino is a good singer and has a goog coive but i's no "amazing talent" when You're singing every song this slow and boring. But his screaming is awesome. And I couldn't imagine a better Deftones singer.

They're one of the best rock bands out there, due in no small part to Chino Moreno's amazing vocal talents. Keep whining though, it makes the "pretentious indie fag" label look all the more true.

@mtyrollerderby Yeah that's very true, my bad. For the record I'm a big Smiths fan, Morrissey is a genius and Marr is sublime as well...

Not whining, this is a decent "cover."
Emotion, even if over a broken friendship bead (likely), is felt here, nice, congrats.
The whole crying, "Chino moreno... pretentious indie fag..." yeah, umm, no, the original is here, I was here, you weren't, you were too busy sucking on mama's teet, or whaterver, to be here for the '80s & '90s music era.
Deftones, fine, not great, NOT SMITHS, sorry, magnificenthomo27.

@BDizDaBest I don't think they did justice at all. I think they butchered it, personally.

@BDizDaBest As an indie fag, I love this song, love the DTones. Chino did a great job! This version is righteous to say the least. Johny Marr is a huge deftones fan. Take it from a smiths fan.

@crookedrain333 but dude why would you call yourself an indie 'fag' if you're not closedminded/elitist like them???

@BDizDaBest Haha well...It just so happens, that I am kinda gay, and I'm an indie kid. So I am an Indie Fag lol. On a side note, I just bought Stephens 7 string baritone, and love it to death.

@RelaxedEnergy lol aww did I offend the wittle indie fag? I already said I like the Smiths and Morrissey...it's just that Deftones take massive wet shits all over them and every other indie group combined. No big deal.

@BDizDaBest What offends me is that you call this crap music. Your ignorance is astonishingly multi-dimensional.
RelaxedEnergy 8 months ago
@RelaxedEnergy lol you're the one acting like Mr. Music Authority trying to pass off your (shitty) opinions as facts, yet I'M the one showing "ignorance"? That's a pretty big word for an autistic jackass such as yourself, and I don't think you're using it correctly so maybe you oughta look it up in the dictionary again. Oh, and while you're at it, look up "irony" next, rectumrammer. lol

Dear Butt Hurt Dirk, be more open minded please. This is a good cover from a band who grew up listening to the smiths, I can appreciate their style is different but at least it's honest and isn't trying to show off like the Muse version.

@boredomtube There's only one way you can do this song. You can't overlay loads of heavy fuzz guitars over the top of it and hope to do anything other than kill the essence of the song. If they listened to The Smiths, they obviously didn't learn anything.

@dirkbogarde44
Hmmm, what would be the point in studiously recreating the sound of the smiths to cover them? there is nothing more humdrum than a band churning out a carbon copy of an existing song in my opinion.
Anyway regardless, each to their own i suppose, as we know, taste is subjective, the most important thing is to throw away all pretensions and critique honestly.

@BDizDaBest You're totally right. And I love Deftones as much as You do but in one point you're wrong. Chino is a good singer and has a goog coive but i's no "amazing talent" when You're singing every song this slow and boring. But his screaming is awesome. And I couldn't imagine a better Deftones singer.
