Follow for more @rockrebelz Some songs don’t just sound good… they feel like something you’ve lived through. “Cherry Waves” by Deftones is one of those rare tracks that wraps you in beauty while quietly pulling you underwater. Released in 2006 as part of the album Saturday Night Wrist, this song came from a time when the band itself was struggling internally—broken communication, emotional tension, and personal battles shaped its atmosphere. That’s why the song feels so real. At its core, “Cherry Waves” is about trust, sacrifice, and emotional drowning in a relationship. It uses ocean imagery to describe what love can feel like—calm on the surface but dangerous underneath. #CherryWaves #Deftones #AltMetal

Deftones slowing the pace in the loudest era Deftones — “Mascara” • Bizarre Festival • 1998 By 1998, Deftones were deep into the European festival circuit, playing events built around immediacy and volume. Bizarre Festival was a mixed-bill environment with large outdoor crowds and fast set turnover. “Mascara,” taken from Around the Fur, stayed in the set despite running counter to that format. The song has no traditional chorus, relies on repetition, and stretches tension rather than delivering a quick payoff. Chino Moreno later said the song was written about his wife at the time, centered on attraction, resentment, and permanence within a relationship. That context lines up with how the song functions live: unresolved, drawn out, and uncomfortable. At Bizarre Festival in 1998, Deftones played it without restructuring or speeding it up, keeping it intact within a set otherwise built for impact. ——— #Deftones #Mascara #AroundTheFur #90sRockVault #BizarreFestival

3 Weeks before @deftones left the numetal category forever Deftones — “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)” • HFStival 2000 • May 28, 2000 On May 28, 2000, Deftones took the stage at FedExField for a midday set that felt like a victory lap for the 90s. At this exact moment, they were only three weeks away from releasing White Pony—the album that would effectively kill the “Nu-Metal” associations and establish them as the most sophisticated force in rock. “Be Quiet and Drive” was the anthem that got them here, but the energy at HFStival 2000 was fueled by what was coming next. There were no digital safety nets or backing tracks; it was just the physical friction of Chino Moreno’s raw, throat-tearing vocals meeting Stef Carpenter’s low-end heavy riffs. This is the final record of the band in their “raw” state before the atmosphere of the new millennium took over. Did Deftones peak during this 2000 transition, or did they only get better once White Pony made them legends? ——— #90sRockVault #2000sRock #Deftones #WhitePony #HFStival

Deftones on French TV at Their Peak My Own Summer – Deftones (1997, Live @ Nulle Part Ailleurs, Paris) This was filmed October 14, 1997, just weeks before Around the Fur officially dropped. Deftones were already gaining momentum from Adrenaline, but this single — My Own Summer (Shove It) — took them to another level. It became one of their most recognizable tracks and helped define the sound of late-’90s alternative metal. The show, Nulle Part Ailleurs, aired across France, giving the band a rare opportunity to deliver a heavy performance on mainstream European TV. This was also their first televised appearance with the Around the Fur era lineup fully locked in. Chino was coming into his own as a frontman — chaotic, focused, and unpredictable — and the rest of the band was tighter than ever. This wasn’t just promo. It was proof that Deftones had officially arrived on a global stage. — #Deftones #MyOwnSummer #AroundTheFur #ChinoMoreno #StephenCarpenter ChiCheng AbeCunningham NullePartAilleurs AltMetal Live1997 ParisRockHistory TVPerformance HeavyOnTV DeftonesEra FrenchTV1997

Un día como hoy 04 de mayo pero del 2010 Deftones publican su sexto álbum de estudio llamado “Diamond Eyes”. El disco está publicado mediante Warner Bros. y Reprise. La banda tanteó la opción de lanzar el álbum Eros como el sexto de estudio, pero finalmente no fue comercializado debido a que el bajista Chi Cheng entró en coma tras un grave accidente de tráfico en noviembre de 2008. #deftones #viral #onthisday #fyp #mictlanradiostreaming
