I can honestly probably say that’s what started my obsession with Deftones. “Yes!!! I do remember the first time, the first song I heard from it was “ Passenger.” I was driving around when I heard it the first time and I just know instantly I was obsessed. Nic Brooks (guitarist of Framing Hanley) NB: “In terms of every song being an absolute solid work, yea… Saturday Night Wrist might tie it… they’re all so damn good though.” Is this your favorite all-time album by Deftones? The drums and beats were from “ Rx Queen“, my bad! “Pink Maggit” is the perfect example of keeping something simple and how perfect their chord progressions can vibe can be. It was one of those albums that every song made life feel more important.

Does this album hold a significance for you? You talk about drums and beats on “Pink Maggit.” Do you have a favorite set of lyrics from that album? It still had “Pink Maggit” on it and the commercial rap/rock version of “Back to School,” which was still good but sounded forced”Ĭhristine Rios: You were quite young when the album came out. I was a little confused when they re-released the record with “ Back to School” on it. Really the only one of that crowd of bands that held artistic integrity without doubt. It was definitely the Deftones album that set them aside from all the other heavy or Nu-metal bands. “ Pink Maggit” is def the most underrated…or “ RX Queen“… that drumbeat is so good and catchy and all the feels in “Pink” just hit hard I remember the day it came out being on a long drive with friends, stoned, 17 years old and feeling like life couldn’t feel much better. I was anticipating it highly because I was already a huge fan of their first two full-lengths. Nic Brooks: “I remember watching the video for “ Change “ when it came out. – DJ Markor (American Hardcore DJ/ Uptempo) I think its called Black Pony? (a reference to Black Stallion)”

– Michael Montoya (guitarist of Winds of Plague / Lil Xan) After this album came out, tons of bands wanted to try and sound like them. “Yes because it was the band’s first time showing off a more mature moody sound from their last releases.

“* two fire emojis*” – ( singer Jonathan Montenegro of Menudo) – Nick Bedrosian (bassist of Otherwise/ex- Stitched Up Heart) My favorite song on the album is actually “‘ Knife Party‘.” “I’m definitely a Deftones fan! I think I first discovered them in high school, after White Pony had already been out for a few years, and “ Change” was the first song I heard by them.
