Good question.
Are the Deftones touring for Diamond Eyes, or just generally playing?
Diamond Eyes.
Why is this even a question?
One of the best art-metal bands ever? Or some schlocky classic rock crap, with the added guarantee that you'll probably have to suffer through a double length encore of that horrible "Dust in the Wind" song?
Yes, but Icarus: Borne on Wings of Steel is in the setlist, damnit.
Chances are I'll go to the Deftones anyway and get a Mezzanine seat since no one wants to go with me. Fuckers.

I'm not familiar with it, but I assume it's an interminably long mid-tempo excuse for prog rock? :lulz:
Not, say, Tales from Topographic Oceans caliber long, but it's a good 6 minutes, and Steinhardt wails on the violin.

Good song, but it suffers from the same utter lack of tempo-changes as everything else I've heard from them.
I'm a sucker for violins, though.
But still, it falls short of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvknOXGPzCQ
I saw the Deftones about 12 years ago and they put on an awesome show. I'd probably go see Kansas in concert if I had the chance, but mostly because I have a thing for acid-washed jeans and puffy high-tops.
I'm introducing my neighbors to White Pony right now.
I've actually never seen them live, so I don't care if I have to go by myself.
Deftones it is. Richter and I are going to tear that shit up Friday night, bitches.
Tell Kansas to Shove It? :)
TICKETS. I HAS THEM.
AND THEY JUST POSTED THAT THE SHOW IS SOLD OUT. :banana:
:hammerdance:
IT'S ON LIEK RED DAWN.
DEIRDRE IS GOING.
OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.
GET THE PITCHERS OF PBR READY, MOTHERFUCKERS, WE'RE GOING IN.
