Deftones - Rocket Skates @ Portland, OR

[DakotaCain]

I saw them last saturday! It was SICK! CHINO MORENO!!!

COME TO PORTLAND AGAIN NEXT YEAR

[troublelev]

yeahh! pinche rola esta conmadre 

[MrVesanique]

Am I the only one to think that Rocket Skates sounded way better in 2009 ? The latest performances of this song aren't as good as this one, for example.

[truffelsnuffler]

@MrVesanique Totally agreed. Once he started adding the "woo" at the end of the chorus....all downhill from there :(

[757330]

Finally seeing them here in Virginia in September!!! Can't wait!

[chinostaley]

The new album is great...brings back memories of around the fur and white pony...Check it out!haven't said that in quite a while after white pony!Welcome back DEFTONES!!!!WWWWHHHHHHOOOOOOOH­HHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Nicoi]

I hate Nu Metal. I love Deftones.

[bballdmer1]

i was here. they were with slipknot :)

[chinostaley]

HHEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL YEAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ch­ino moreno is the bomb!!!

[craziness5932]

@210PRSGuy I will be at the Portland show.

[craziness5932]

What?! I had no idea they came to Portland, except I didn't know of them back then. Well, at least there's BlackDiamondSkye in Seattle and Portland, I am going to both, they should rock. \m/

[2010PRSGuy]

Anyone else going to the Oct. 9th show with Alice In Chains??? Long Live The Deftones!!! ~Sean

[2010PRSGuy]

Sweet Video!!! Anyone else here going to the Alice In Chains/Deftones show on Oct.9th??? Can't wait!!! Long Live Deftones!!!

[cruscu]

they were better when they were more nu-metal...but they are still fucking cool!

[yubs14900]

what the hell? love to see them back guys..chino is fucking awesome..what the fuck!!! i cant wait to have their album..if you dont like deftones..FUCK your mama

[mbrantube]

Damn Chino nailed it! Deftones are back! Buy the album Diamond Eyes. If you dont like it then you dont like music......

[flashmobkyle]

Great video, Deftones are the shit. Can't wait for Red Rocks CO!!

[ike1luv]

Chino's voice in on point!!

[ReykoRR]

@PORTUGAL 8/05 WOOOOOOOOOW!

[LostProphet03]

jeez this is the best deftones album in a hot second or two

[flaxbvlad5150]

six more days and ill be checking them live in EL PASO aka CHUCO TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

[troshonkong]

@flaxbvlad5150 chingado... y yo bien pinche lejos de Chihuas!!! :(

[MastaPillow]

holy conolis I was at this show haha

[Goatnce]

Love the Deftones. havent listend to much music for years but fuck everytime i hear the Deftones I turn the volume UP!!!!!!!!!

[netei]

one of the most creative bands of the fucking universe.

[chino582]

stick with slipknot! it's better 4 u and your pussy attitude!

[Gmod1001]

I am going to be honest... this is alright... just one thing, the vocalists scream is... how do I put it... a complete pussy scream!

I prefer Slipknot for my Nu-Metal but this is okish...

Go ahead, rate me down for spreading my opinion.

[christmasjammies]

@Gmod1001 you gotta be kidding me...

[Gmod1001]

@christmasjammies Kidding about what? His scream sounding like a little school girl or Slipknot being possibly the best Nu-Metal band.

Oh and a note, the lyrics on this song sucks, its the same bloody thing over and over again.

[cityhall4all]

@Gmod1001 dude... seriously, if you don't get it, I doubt anyone can try to explain.  Let me know how that circus gig is going for ya though.

[Gmod1001]

@cityhall4all Explain what? Circus Gig? If you are going to insult me at least make it clear what you are insulting?

[uberbs]

@Gmod1001 the fact that slipknot dresses up like a bunch of clowns on stage. i like slipknot but not for how they're "nu-metal" but for their heavy metal shit. Deftones put on a much better "performance" than slipknots' "shows"...

[Gmod1001]

@uberbs Slipknot uses masks so that people pay attention to the music and not their appearence.... it kind of backfired, but that is the original reason.

Also, Deftones doesn't have drums on hydrolics. Also I must say Deftones dance.... a bit... I better not say it... on stage.

To end this stupid conversations, They are both awesome bands.

END OF STORY.

[coolEman00]

@Gmod1001 Heck yeah deftones, tool and slipknot are my favorite bands

[timmunn1]

@Gmod1001 i never really understood that it def did back fire on them.. and there masks are cheesy as fuck. and i dont get it because none of them are really " lookers " under the masks haha

[Gmod1001]

@timmunn1 Cheesy? I do not find there new masks cheesy?

Also, have you seen Corey (Vocalist) unmasked? (2009)?

[cityhall4all]

@Gmod1001 that's exactly what I was trying to explain. You just aren't going to get it. Maybe someone will spell it out for you in the future. I'm not knocking slipknot, they rock as well. Ask around and maybe you can find out wtf im talking about. It's not exactly a mystery. Personally I'm kinda anti circus cause i've heard they abuse the elephants. Take care buddy

[Freedish911]

these guys are sounding amazing again...omg I cant wait for the new album. (as long as its not like SNW ill be happy)

chino lookin skinny again hhaa... hope chi wakes up soon :)

[TheCaptainxCSNx]

Damn watching Chino get down like this is fuckin amazing. Youd think he was 21 all over again..... <3 deftones forever.

[greenadore]

he prolly on dat white shit again

[davidmain122]

i may be the only one who feels this way but Saturday night wrists was a great album. Deftones likes to experiment, and thats not all bad. I especially loved Mein, xeres, UUDDLRLR. It may not be "hardcore" but it was still good. I only wonder how Eros sounds if it ever comes out. Deftones fucking rock

[QotsaFoo]

yeah.. .for me the new album is too "hardcore"... Saturday N.W. was perfect..

[imperialh8]

Sergio Vega is not bad...he's filled in for Chi before way back in the late 90's

but still...Chi get better soon!!!

[truffelsnuffler]

This performance is amazing! So why does the album version sound so bad?? :(

[BerchRooney]

Chinos weight loss = fast as shit again

[HidetoraHikimonji]

@BerchRooney I was thinking the exact same thing...like the good old nineties

[marleybless]

@HidetoraHikimonji

Adrenaline times :(

[spyguy641]

@BerchRooney sadly that's really true lol

[gilligan80]

I know everybody smarts off about any other type of music thats "new"... i remember when these guys were bashed cause they were "nu" metal... obviously with this new sound they are drawing some influence from these other "new" bands you consider to be so shitty....

[zajac1661]

brainless people, forget about the matter of personal taste, and that it is the only thing that matters to the individual human being. Bashers are just negative crap, and sad people who feeds on it.

[MSNGR415]

101mikev ...well said my friend. couldn't have put it better myself.

i just hope chino has lost all this weight the healthy way.

[ChemStar26]

I'm luvin the new shit. Good to see he's getting thinner

[smackeyLCR]

WOW! Chino did lose some weight, you're right. I'm impressed. The last 2 times I saw them in Seattle, he was getting a little on the heavy side. I'll still remember him as the skinny, blonde-haired kid from back in the Adrenaline/ Around the Fur days.

When Chi finally wakes, he may not recognize him.

[101mikev]

FUCK YEAHHH DEFTONES!!! there one of the best bands out there. FUCK ALL THIS NEW BANDS OUT NOW. take a lesson from a real fuckin band like DEFTONES!!!!!!!!!

[spikealicous333]

@101Mikev FUCK RIGHT! BEST EVER IN TIME.

[mqywaaah]

Chino lost a lot of freakin weight!!

[101mikev]

chino has lost weight, he was getting fat as hell, but could move around now, DEFTONES KICK FUCKIN ASS

[XxGunFacexX]

Guns! Razors! Knives! Fuck with me..

[DaJonoFunz]

Fucking mind blowing!

[octoberdays]

With this band being one of the most important to me personally since Adrenaline, it is such a huge relief to see Chino moving again. He can jump and move around again. It reminds me of the good old days.

[bwilliams1553]

i agree, i smile every time i see him jumpin around on stage b/c it reminds me of back in the good ol days... im fallin back in love with this band all over again...

[01jarf]

GUNS  ... RAZORS... KNIVES...fkiiiiing sic...

[WAWildkard]

May 18th can not come fast enough!!!

[romanpoet22004]

That is 3 days after my graduation from university with a BA :D

[pmonroy86]

Deftones are back, fuckas!!!!!

Diamond eyes may 18!!!

[Garell2]

He's doing speed again.

[adrenima]

if you think chinos voice is "better"

just wait til they go on tour for a year or two

then you wont say the same

i guarantee it

his voice will never be adrenaline or around the fur. EVER.

[Petteriks]

Then they should tour less.. cause now he sounds great.

[adrenima]

u should let them know

call 1-800-deftones

and ask for chino

[MARCOCANSECO]

ok, YES Chino looks and sounds awesome but...he always has!

yes, this track kicks fuckin ass but...all deftones songs kick ass!

yes, Chi is in very bad shape but WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP HOPING AND PRYING FOR HIM!

yes, Sergio is a very good 'fill in' he fits the vibe just right. Love and Respect to Deftones and all deftones fans see you @ ROCK-ON-THE-RANGE- COLUMBUS OHIO 5-22-10

[92Krieger92]

the real deftones are back!!!

[poppinfresh]

Holy shit, chino looks great! hes back to his around the fur figure.

[adrenima]

around the fur figure?

i wouldnt go that far lol

[Stillafuxxinfreak]

Yes, chino looks thinner, and his voice sounds better live. This song is amazing, can' t wait for the new album, it' ll kick ass!

[RideCO550]

Sergio is the right man to fill chi's shoes, he is the illest and smokes a mean blunt. I had the opportunity to smoke with Sergio and Stef during the tracking process of the record. I give Sergio a 100% respect card for stepping in for Chi...

[singnagg]

omfg adrenaline-like !!!!

[adrenima]

please dont say that

this song rocks, but dont say adrenaline-like

PLEASE.

[Davidicus400]

chino looks thinner, good for him.

[lschultz2001]

Guns! Razors! Knives! Sergio Vega is the man!

[Brad842]

FUCK YEA!!

[ChinoMoreno4life]

this song reminds me of korea from whitepony for some reason

[Missfourtitude]

yo brother chino looks good man. Im glad he finally got his weight back down again. cant wait for the shows.

[bizkitmaniac]

i have a question...is chi cheng out of the coma???

[onenewmurderer]

@bizkitmaniac no. But in lighter news, Deftones "Diamond Eyes" is out May 18th

[bizkitmaniac]

that sux it will not be the same without chi...this song fucking rocks can't wait for the album

[themartinmanisdead]

nooooo

[AMeN420]

yeah but he's basically a vegetable, so there is no way he is ever going to join deftones again :(

[ChaunceyTV]

Never say never.

Get well soon, chi. <3

[bizkitmaniac]

that can't be true dude...he has to recover...that is fucking sad

[420Guitar420]

The bridge saves this song from being mediocre.

[deftlaker]

says you...

[420Guitar420]

sorry just my opinion, not hating on the band or anything.

[thenoiboi]

guns! razors! knives!

[erosdeftones]

may 18th FTW! i missed teh show in glendale az the one rigth before chis accident and im so fuckin pissed off. found out the day after that my buddy was gonan buy my ticket

[ChinoMoreno4life]

i wunna see them live so bad

[ChinoMoreno4life]

i wunna see these guys live again i saw them when they toured in support of sat night wrist and that was before i was into them... i sat down the entire time i could shoot my foot if i had a gun for that

[Pragernator]

@ChinoMoreno4life I was in a similar spot, I saw them when they were touring on SNW but I only knew about five songs. They ripped that shit up and now I hate myself for not appreciating it, Deftones my #2 band. Portland show too.

[ruaridouglas]

Download Festival 2010. Nice.

[six6sicmaggot]

I love his new "signature stage move" lol

[captainnorth92]

New album will kick so much ass, although this song hopefully doesn't suggest a return to self-titled sounds. One of their weakest albums.

[deftlaker]

still a bad ass album....

Chino said this album will be like ATF ....with a little white ppny

[smonkey86]

but their best in my opinion. It also introduced the seven string.

[captainnorth92]

White Pony is their best, self-titled had no variation in tone and tension. But that's good news deftlaker. =P

[Pragernator]

@captainnorth92 I'd respectfully disagree with that. Songs like Hexagram and When Girls Telephone Boys had much different tone than songs like Deathblow and Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event. I think the contrast is less obvious than it was on White Pony but it was still present.

[captainnorth92]

Yeah, fair enough, I agree that its there a little, but not enough to create mood (for me at least, obviously is for you). And lyrically and vocally it feels alot more uninspired too.

[smonkey86]

heaviness owns all brotha. Love white pony but it doesn't do it for me like needles and pins, hexagram, bloody cape, anniversary. WGTB, battle-axe. Anyways don't make me talk bad about white pony.

[an3m6x]

holy shit chino lost weight.

[ihatedafuckingsummer]

man! can't wait for the album this summer! deftones = the coolest band ever!

[gonzotheshapeshifter]

Haha, this fill-in bassist better get his fill while he can... Get betta Chi!!!

[onenewmurderer]

hes gunna be in deftones for a while. even when chi wakes, there is no quarantee that he will even be able to return to deftones and to the stage.Plus chi's been in a coma for over a year now, its not gunna be anytime soon, unfortunately. But Sergio kicks ass, and fits perfectly with the tones.

[martinez111333]

Hm, sounds to me like they're trying to stand their ground by kind of copying themselves.

Hope the album will correct me.

[onenewmurderer]

it will

[Tremuoso]

Chino looks so healthy and lively, this shit is going to be so great.

[teabagger1985]

!!!!!!!TITS!!!!!!!!!

[bballdmer1]

i was there, his pants almost came off lol

[Metalgazer]

FuKK yEaHHHH!!!!

[defjulio]

ooo esta cancion esta de huevos..ya saqen el eros no mamen..deftones lo mejor ..hacen mi vida mas feliz...!!!!

[sylus6666]

chino said the new album sounds like around the fur!!! oh god i cannot wait!!!!!

april hurry up for fuck sake!!!!

ill just have to listen to around the fur till then and jam it out too!

[HeWhoisiam]

the intro riff of 'Rocket Skates' reminds me of the break down on Super Joint Ritual's 'Personal Insult' where Phil say "unholy war you will get, you can bet, its just bullshit"

[joshioaz85]

YES! fukin deftones

[deftlaker]

[Deflectioneer]

He's lost weight though. That's good.

[frostmourne21]

Wow! is this the latest hit from Deftones? reminds me of "Insekta" from one of the Philippines' greatest bands "QUESO" pinoy astig!!!!!! Queso - Insekta

[al1377]

I should put a fucking bullet in my head for not going to this show. Stupid ass mutha fucka!

[FeroxX]

the Nazgul scream is baaackkkkkk !

[JRAG2288]

WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Man Chino is getting some major air!!!!!

Its those brown dickies he's wearing dude!

They give him wings bro!!!!!!!

DEFTONES!!!!!!!!

[NearbyHermit]

Man,this song sounds so Adrenaline/Deftones like !!!!!

I went nuts listening to it!

[Deftoneskid1]

Im a huge deftones fan pretty much since day 1 and im not bashing slipknot in anyway. You gotta understand that your on a deftones page right now and deftones fans are some of the boldest defensive fans around. So I can see why comparing slipknot to deftones might give you some lip in return. Slipknot did sell out just in my opinion if you look at their 1st album until now. They are mainstream. Deftones aren't and deftones don't wanna be.

[mester90]

hell yeah! they are headbanging the whole song!\m/ they must really enjoy this song like i do!:)

I hope Chi gets well. He is in Coma or Semi-coma more than a year. I hope he doesn't suffer brain damage in a long coma like this.:S

[john1120]

chino is felling it @2.44

[slaughteredremains1]

i am so fucking glad these guys are back.

[9rocketskates]

chinoooooooooo i cant believe it ,chino is fit again!like the old days ,with his style, so happy listening a new song sounds awesomeee ;p

as all their songs

[mrQ315]

Chi is never playing again... The new bass player is stayin...

[iGotSpaceLikeNASA]

who told u that?

[mrQ315]

Chi was in a car wreck, i know them through my cousin, the guitarist stef is her best friend. Chi was in a coma for long time and never even remembers playing in the deftones or playing guitar

[KingAttle]

what the fuck are you talking about....he's still in a semi-coma....

[iGotSpaceLikeNASA]

? i know hes IN a coma. Not WAS. Unless theres something you know that we don't..

[KingAttle]

i was replying to the guy who says chi WAS in a coma and doesnt remmeber the deftones or how to play guitar....

[balkan2k]

Actually he's in a semi-conscious state right now and slowly making progress. The doctors and the expensive equipment made possible by donations seems to finally have pulled him through :-)

[KingAttle]

pulled him through? i cant communicate....he has minimal response reflex....he cant make sentances, he cant walk/barely move....and you think he has pulled through?!?!

[balkan2k]

1) It still means he's not in a coma anymore.

2) Yeah they've pulled him through the worst part - the coma. They don't wake up people from comas without being pretty sure about their chances. If they are in doubt about comatose patient's reactions to even partial awakening they keep them in coma.

You said it yourself: Semi-coma ;-) It's really not the same thing. Semi-coma is quite a step up. Especially since he's making progress cause that means they probably won't have to comatose him again.

[KingAttle]

your right...he'll have no permanent brain damage...he has pulled through and playing bass again finishing up eros!

[turinwark]

where you getting your info from? I just heard a recent interview, hes still out cold and they don't know if he'll ever wake up

[KingAttle]

god damnit...nevermind...you werent following the discussion....one guy was saying Chi has pulled through etc. etc....he's making SLOW progress and if he becomes fully conscious again we dont even know if he'll have full brain function...over a year in his condition isnt a good sign...he's not out cold...he does some eye tracking...maybe move a leg, squeze a hand....make noises with his vocals....but nowhere near "pulled through."

[turinwark]

relax, just sayin thats not what i heard and i was wondering and hoping I was wrong so asked a simple question

[balkan2k]

Oh, NOW he's making slow progress? I thought I was basically an idiot before for pointing that out???

I'm sorry for you that you are incapable of interpreting "pulled through" as anything other than "complete recovery", where some of us can actually use terms in a more flexible manner, for instance "pulled through" can mean e.g. "survived his brain trauma" or "has been awoken from his vegetative state".

Life must be hard for you when people all around use terms in - you know - a regular way.

[KingAttle]

just shut up and read everyone elses posts but yourself

[KingAttle]

i have been saying thi swhole time he has made slow progress....but to go as far as saying he has pulled through is a tad extreme...he can still seizure at any moment, he can still suffer from a srugery rejection, he can stil have a stroke at any moment...no, the risk isnt as high....but by no means is he close to being fully awake....

[balkan2k]

Yes, well then please direct me to where i said he was fully awake. I said he was semi-conscious and making slow progress, which he is. Pretty obviously that's what I meant by being pulled through the coma since that's what I wrote.

How on earth you can read it as "he's in a semi-conscious state and making slow progress *and he's fully recovered*" I'll never know.

[KingAttle]

your a bigger idiot than you sound on here, i'd imagine

[balkan2k]

Yeah, I'm probably am, but what you're really saying is that you can't find me saying anything other than he's in a semi-coma and is making slow progress and you really really hate that fact :-)

[mrQ315]

yeah man he is out.. but the new guys shreds super cool dude

[balkan2k]

What the fuck is your problem man? I never said he pulled through, i said the DOCTORS pulled him through. He was in a very critical condition.

I also said he was in a semi-conscious state which he is! And slowly making progress, which he is!

I never said one fucking thing about whether or not he would have permanent brain damage.

It's nice to know there are still people on youtube who can't stand being corrected to such a degree that they have to set up strawmen. What would we do without you?

[iGotSpaceLikeNASA]

sorry i meant to reply to himnot you. epic fail.. :(

[mrQ315]

Yeah he still is in a coma.. Its sad but shit happens ya know. Deftones new set up with the new bassist is the new deftones.

[tsaok123]

It's amazing how much better Chino looks! Jumping around the stage like it was 10 years ago!

[beforethree]

nice song, powerfull..i like it!

Chino looks better now with less weight, better for him!

I d'like to see them soon again ! :o)

[cogfy]

Haha glad to see their coming with new music. Damn Chino looks like he did in the late 90s and early 00s, glad he loosing weight

[orangekat96]

Chino Moreno, You are the most amazing, handsome man I've ever seen.
