Read on as Chino, Abe, and Frank talked more about White Pony, working with Terry Date, and their unfinished album Eros. With the current worldwide situation caused by Covid-19, the band had to cancel their North American tour dates and currently rescheduling it for next year. We were like, “What?!” It was just an awesome feeling, I remember. To go there and see how many people showed up, it was crazy. “That was so much fun, it was such a trip. I told them that I’m from the Philippines and that I was there during their first concert here in Manila. I had a few seconds to gather my composure and finally, said Hi to everybody. I was just supposed to be listening in together with other media representatives around the world at the press con that was held via Zoom, when surprisingly, I was connected and was already being greeted by all three together with the Q&A moderator. I had the pleasure of speaking to three of the members of Deftones-frontman and guitarist Chino Moreno, drummer Abe Cunningham, and turntablist Frank Delgado, whom I got to interview back in 2016 about their album Gore.
But this year, Deftones are celebrating the 20 th anniversary of one of the most influential albums that they’ve produced, their third album White Pony.
Eight studio albums have been released by the band with another one on the works and said to be released within the year. There’s something about their music that’s very distinct-the louds and softs, the breathy singing voice of Chino Moreno, and the intense connect of the band’s rhythm section. I remember that I got into them just the same time when I started listening to Incubus, Korn, and A Perfect Circle. Deftones have been one of those bands that I listened to when I started working for a music magazine.
