DEFTONES

Deftones is the American rock band from Sacramento, California, which was formed in 1988.- Chino Moreno (vocals and guitar)

- Stephen Carpenter (guitar)
- Chi Cheng (bass)
- Frank Delgado (keyboards and turntables)
- Abe Cunningham (drums and percussion)

In the midst of the Golden State, about halfway between San Francisco and Reno, Nevada, located Sacramento, California House of Representatives and currently the castle Pete Wilson's republican rules. As irony would have it, is also home to a thriving music scene, and hard-hitting Sacramento Deftones played a major role. Four members of the Deftones, who have enjoyed close friendship since childhood and has a sonic breath fire into the streets quiet suburbs, if not for four years, agreed that few people in the outside world knows about it. "Sacramento's a killer music," says guitarist Stephwn Carpenter, "but it's not just a big club scene. There's like one good club [in Livestock Club] and a few other places, but people really do not go out more here

But the lack of proper channels for the group to release their unique brand of music's anger does not stop them. Instead, they hit the streets and began building a following in the Bay Area, Reno and LA, touring with everyone from Bad Brains and L7 and Korn to Quciksand. After four years of constant performing and juggling their day jobs, they worked their way of demos for the existence of a recording contract with Maverick.
"When you're a new band, it's hard to convince clubs in different cities to enable you to play and pay you - not like the bands could travel anywhere at the drop of a hat," Carpenter said, "I mean, no one any thoughts free play for half the time, but when it comes to travel you still have to pay. So grow. "

In the Deftones' case, it is clearly paid off. The band's Maverick debut, Adrenaline, featuring songs such as "Nosebleed," "Lifter" and musical "7 the words," the hair with a determination, frustration and passion. Produced by Terry Date (White Zombie, Soundgarden, Pantera) captures the dynamics of the band in the studio with no raw energy put behind him, most of the live recording. Tracks are the 11 colored with various shades of subtle style that keeps the music fresh. Although he may cry and howl as viscerally as the most affected by contemporary concerns, singer enigmatic vocalist Chino Moreno is also a melodic talent, especially in the "Root" and 11 songs surprises "Fist" (taken from one of the band's previous demo). The same melodic sensibility often creeps into the abrasive guitars for kicks Carpenter harsh tunefulness.

"I think that one of the best things we have going for us is our dynamic," said Moreno. "There is never too many things. It's not like there is a real heavy song and then a real soft song. Each of our songs contain many different levels." like the band refused to pigeonholed sonically, they also remain abstract lyrically, preferring to express themselves more in a stream-of-consciousness fashion. Like many of their influence, (the band cites range from Jane's Addiction to Bad Brains to Smashing Pumpkins) this band never stops long enough to be pinned down, which obviously makes things interesting.

With "White Pony," the third Maverick album, Deftones have been making records as erotic as brutal, as dynamic as silent, as relentless as soft, as hooky as experimental, and fertile as closely. Firm grip of the nerves and prepare you to define the sonic rush - was "White Pony" offers an emotional journey, with great prizes for those who are able to survive.

"I saw the boundaries more clearly now than I used to," said the singer Chino Moreno. "I'd rather play games with people cerebrally than I was several years ago. I'm better at making love to her head."

Deftones formed in 1988, but their first debut in 1995 only, at that time we met with the Deftones "Adrenaline," a highly flammable compound, knives riffs, rumbling, rage, and rap-ish delivery. Note, in addition to half a million copies sold, laid the foundation for a heavy movement followed and continues today. Even then, we heard evidence that this is not a band concerned with tradition or disturbed by the music of the border. About a tempestuous bursts of hardcore is part of the frightening calm and vulnerability. There's something pretty in the battle of feedback and cymbal wash, a mermaid comes to the surface in the swamp moss. Chino knew from get-go that nothing is eternal is always clear, and so chose not to talk so much directly, but the robe in the image to your imagination to change her clothes. When he sang in this album "7 words," "You and me here alone, flat face along the edge of the glass."

"I received a letter from the children talked about how a particular song influenced them or entertain them," said Chino. "Their idea of what it means totally different from what I feel, but I would never tell them that. If there is something that affects you at all, that's good."

Two years, countless packed houses, and one major riot in Arizona later, the people who submitted "Around The Fur." No less violent than its predecessor, the album is pure passion and thrive outside the standby whisper-to-scream trick. Deftones spread to the two extremes, looking for logical limits of barbarism guitar while flirting with Gothic or New Wave sense of sparseness and spy haunted. Chino more aware of herself and better able to translate what he was obsessed or fascinated him to his words. "There's blood in my hair and I have bruises years but there is something about the long shady eyes," he sang in "Mascara."

Rock and alternative radio play "Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)," and MTV played the video for "My Own Summer (Shove It)," a scary clip (and apt analogy) that shows the band playing on a float while the hungry shark cage circled below. Road incessantly work followed, including two stints at Warped and Ozzfest. Somehow there they found the time to cut the rhythm version Depeche Mode's "To Have And To Hold" for an album saluting the synth-pop forefathers. When they played Detroit with Black Sabbath in Valentine's Day, 1999, they were affected when all their equipment van stolen in a robbery. "Around The Fur" went Gold. Finally, Deftones return to Sacramento and began soul mining and experimental settings that will be "White Pony."

At this time, the neo-hardcore band sound so important in pioneering the toast of our nation. Countless actions ran to the proven formula, but the Deftones saw no need to revisit the past in creating the "White Pony," just need to satisfy themselves.

"We never talk about it, about finding 'Deftones sound,'" says bassist Chi Cheng. "We do not want to find a particular sound, and settled in particular sound is not a good thing. I think that's why we continue to advance the album, because we're going with what we feel right at that moment, not what we think we do."

Co-produced by the band and Terry Date (who did both of their previous efforts), "White Pony" was cut in Sausalito, CA legendary Recording Plant and Larrabee Sound Studios in Hollywood. The process is not quick, but the results, music and the emotional, amazing. Stephen Carpenter wash and wailing wall stretches from here to the cosmos; Chi's bass went down like ten-ton anchors; Abe Cunningham's drums are beaten is not unreasonable, and Frank Delgado landscape point to find the sound and the needle drops while freeing tirades Chino real and unload his cargo uncertainty and longing.

Siren riff opens "Feiticeira" ( "I read the game show in Brazil. If you win, you can drink the milk of the host cord. I do not know how it developed into a mock scenario of being kidnapped," Chino explained), and you ' back from the volatile, in-depth journey. Stop including a hail of bullets blood raw ( "Elite"), killer warm plate of love ( "Knife Prty"), and one album ascending and ambled closer ( "Pink Maggit") which managed to be simultaneously transmitted, progressive, expansive, and shortness of breath.

Tool singer Maynard James Keenan co-wrote and shot vocals with Chino in "Passengers," a journey of echo and aphrodisiacal glittering keys punctuated by an explosive chorus.

"It's about being a passenger in a car with a girl who takes you around the world, literally, sexual, in a whirlwind of time," Chino said. "I could hardly tell where I end and Maynard started."

Chino's characteristic abstractions even painted pictures richer than before. They float from his mouth when he hushes, and fly from it when he howled, and in both cases, they were something to the deepest corner of your mind to untangle. In the "RX Queen" he sings, "We will fly farther because you're my girl. And it's okay if you sting me, I will not mind. We will stop for a break in the month and we'll make fire."

From Chino's challenge, a sense of visual lyrics, Cheng said, "What is good to hear a song and know exactly - in a word - what is the singer talking about? It's like a good painting or a good book. I never asked what something Chino mean, I want to know what it means to me. "

Midway through the "White Pony," you will find the most beautiful thing ever done Deftones - a song called "Teen." Built around the loop, drip, trip-hop beats, and carefully plucked guitar, songs like the twinkling night stars in the night a lot of sad nostalgia for the innocence of high school love. Chino's voice float and rise slowly around the interwoven texture of a song that will surprise you with the best way.

"I like to look back at moments like that," said Chino. "That's when you can take a true, deep breath. You do not have anything to worry about except 'do this girl like me?" It's as strong as it was back. "

"White Pony" has nothing to do with gangs or trends or market surveys, and all things related to the five-man 'unwavering commitment to follow where their hearts and heads with them, be it in a rough place, angry, seductive or scary. Deftones have an unquestionable passion for music, for free you feel in the booming drums, screeching feedback, and gut-born scream and headspace created by moments of silence. If you can not feel that desire and intensity on every second of this album, you numb beyond repair.

It's a natural immeasurably enriched by everything that existed before. From one-two punch Adrenaline (1995) and Around The Fur (1997) to the breakthrough success of 2000's Grammy-winning platinum-plus seller, White Pony featuring a huge success "Change (In The House Of Flies)," Deftones make a big leap to new sonic spaces wide, driven by nearly two years non-stop global tour that brought the band from the United States to Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and back again. "We can not sit still," Stephen insisted, on the origin of Deftones. "We've built a lot of creative steam on the road and hitting on all cylinders. You can not just turn that off. We're trying to relax and live as ordinary civilians, but it did not happen. We have forgotten how." "We kicked it for about three months , "continued Chino," and bored. We drifted back together, started writing songs and playing games at The Spot, practice rooms and studios we have built for ourselves. And we can tell right away that we were on to something. " "It just comes naturally," insists drummer Abe Cunningham. "Playing in the studio is just an extension of playing live for us. We have the same focus and energy, in the same way to make the party no matter what happens around us. It has been three years since we put out White Pony and we are in under much pressure to follow it. We're just ignore all that nonsense. When the time is right, we all know that. "In the summer of 2002, when it must be true. This band has brought their music to a new level thanks to a scorching tour schedule that makes them sharp, focused and tough night after night. "This is our life," insists Stephen. "We are a band. We eat, sleep and other things you can think together.as a band. We do not know any other way." This is the common bond is forged with fans around the world. "People are the same wherever you go," said Chino. "And the music is the same in any language. I could say we were surprised about how people react to us wherever we play. But we do not. It was like a party the same everywhere, just different directions to get to where . 'They're the band has finally landed back at their home base in Sacramento. "We plan to lay low for six months," Chino explained. "But the music continued to flow out. All we could do is stand back and let that happen." "I'm throwing more licks than I care," added Stephen. "I think there's always more where that came from. We're all just trying to stay in that moment, focus on what is in front of us and gave everything we had." "We must work to stay ahead of ourselves," Chino said, adding that producer Terry Date to hand full control to keep this band torrent produce. The result is the Deftones, album punches through the next dimension of the Deftones' sound really authentic. Displaying blazing like standouts as "Needles & Pins," a dark, smoldering "Deathblow," a jagged, writing of "The Battle-Ax" and the sunny but unnervingly melodic first single "Minerva," Deftones took the band off the road, right through the studio and direct into your ear.

What is meant by "Deftones" (by a guitarist Stef Carpenter Deftones):

"I listened to a lot of rap at the time, but, I always imagined being in a band but I could never choose a name. I'm like," how the band chose only their names? "You know, some bands, you have the metal bands that try to make them all bad names and whatever. I wanted to choose a cold, something that will only stand out but you know, not all cheese-ball at the same time . Well, I'm really into old classic music, like from the 50's and shit like that. I'm like, "Nada," You know there are lots of bands from the era that has "the tone" in it. And " Def, "just cuz I listen to a lot of LL Cool J, Public Enemy, you know, like Def Jam and all that. Then I thought," Deftones, "it would be rather cool. Def would mean" cool "and Nada would like . sounds old days but became vague. cuz we do not do just one type of music. It's quite heavy, but never focused on one particular musical style.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Red Hot Chili Peppers (often abbreviated RHCP or shortened to simply Chili Peppers) is an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1983. For most of the band's existence, the members have been vocalist Anthony Kiedis, guitarist John Frusciante, bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary, and drummer Chad Smith. The band's varied musical style has fused traditional funk with elements of other genres including alternative, punk rock, metal and psychedelic rock.

In addition to Kiedis and Flea, the group originally featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. Slovak, however, died of a heroin overdose in 1988, resulting in Irons' departure.Dead Kennedys drummer D. H. Peligro before the band found a permanent replacement in Smith, while Slovak was replaced by up-and-coming guitarist Frusciante. This lineup recorded the band's fourth and fifth albums, Mother's Milk (1989) and Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991). Irons was replaced briefly by former.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way

Blood Sugar Sex Magik was a significant record for the band; having sold over thirteen million copies, it provided the group's initial mainstream commercial success. Frusciante grew uncomfortable with this new found success and left abruptly in the middle of the tour for the album in 1992, descending into heroin addiction. Kiedis, Flea, and Smith employed Dave NavarroJane's Addiction for their subsequent album, One Hot Minute (1995). Although fairly successful, it did not match the critical acclaim of Blood Sugar Sex Magik and sold less than half the copies of its predecessor. Shortly afterwards, Navarro departed the band due to creative differences. Frusciante, fresh out of drug rehabilitation, rejoined the band in 1998, at Flea's request. The reunited quartet returned to the studio to record Californication (1999), which went on to sell fifteen million units worldwide, becoming their most commercially successful album to date. It was followed three years later with By the Way (2002), which continued their success. In 2006, the group released the double album Stadium Arcadium, giving them their first American number one album.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have won seven Grammy Awards. The band has sold over fifty-five million albums worldwide, have eight singles in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (including three singles in the Top 10), have five number one singles on the Mainstream Rock charts, and hold a record of eleven number one singles on the Modern Rock charts. On September 23, 2009 the band was nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2010. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were ranked #30 on VH1's "Greatest Artists of Hard Rock".
