I remember Stephen in his garage finally getting a new guitar. He was just a poor South Sacramento kid like the rest of us that wanted to make music as a career. And he did. Out of all the poseur kids in the hood that gave him shit, he just blew it off and always had a smile and jokes. We rode BMX, skateboards and listened to music. Proud of that dude.

engine no 9 is the best deftones guitar riff and it will bring you RIGHTTT in i definitely recommend it

An unbelievably good song called 7 words

The cadence and sound of his vocals in the slower parts reminds me of Bjork. I have no idea why.

Best album

So I only know 2 Deftones songs and they are cool but... Yayy it's Ty!

Their best album.

Very interesting reaction from the guys. I kind of "skipped" this genre of music when it was happening for various reasons (musical and for other considerations at that time). So, I'm not going to pretend that I'm familiar with this group and, honestly, I hadn't gotten around to watching the other reactions on the channel for them. However, as someone that might be coming in with a little fresher view, I thought the instrumentation was very listenable (for the driving beat) and it seemed to me like the vocal arrangement was consciously done to juxtapose it with the instrumentation (until the end when, as Nick mentioned, the lead singer really let loose). There is a distinction that may need to be made. There was alternating talk about a band's first recorded song and the first song that appears on an album. As I'm sure many are aware, most bands or artists don't necessarily record songs in the order that they appear on an album (which is referred to as "track sequencing"). Nick made the astute point that the first song on an album can be significant for the listener, especially if they are not aware of the group or artist. So, one can consider that first song, especially on a first album, to be a "mission statement" ("This is who we are and how we want our music to sound") from the band or artist. When a listener goes through what is considered a "concept album" (where there is an overall message that should come through with the songs being pieces of that message; Fairly famous examples might be "Tommy" by The Who and "Dark Side of The Moon" by Pink Floyd), the track sequencing is very important for the album. For this purpose, think of each song on a concept album being like a chapter in a book and the book will likely make much less sense if the chapters are jumbled out of order, just like if the songs aren't in the right order of a concept album. My final thought is the guys hit on a really fascinating topic and that is the "evolution" of a band's or artist's sound over time. For example, consider the songs from the first few years of The Beatles (which the guys have done a couple of reactions for in the past) in comparison to the later music from the band. If someone didn't know better, they might think the changes were two different groups. One could look at the difference in the music from The Beach Boys during this same period as Brian Wilson's and the band's sound got seemingly more sophisticated over time. There have been a lot of bands and artists that have gotten pigeon-holed into having a "signature sound" and, if it is well-received and successful, it becomes what fans and record labels expect out of future music. Evolution in musical direction over time can create a lot of disagreements among group members or artists with their producers/record labels, along with disatisfaction from fans if they don't like the newer music. This is a really interesting topic for the guys to expand on in the future when comparing and contrasting older and later music from a band or artist, when appropriate, in later reaction videos. Great job by the guys and it's always terrific to see the full "502 crew" in effect. 😀

Awesoe band

Rosemary is def my fav by them

You shoulda check out engine no. 9 out of this album

This is by far their best album in my opinion!

Sextape , rosemary , my own summer , knife prty , and entombed

This album was a fire debut! Jin jet light it is not. Try “ Engine No. 9” from this album.

You guys should react to Hall & Oates. One on One, Can't Go for That.

reaction starts at 3:27

“Deftones - light”? Adrenaline is their rawest, most hard-core album! What would be “Deftones - heavy“?

First and foremost

Bored was a good description 😮😅 but great to see Ty again 😊

Songwriters are where it's at

Yay Ty!!!! 😊😊😊 who the hell are the deaftones??????

That's a no for me but nice to see all of you!

Maybe a different song though.

It’s ok. Kind of meh.

They are ok, not what I really like. I haven't heard of them & now I can say I have.

Vocalists are a dime a dozen.

Maybe a riff or two that sounded alright. But this is whiny baby shi-

Its a nothing song....

Not a fan of Deftones. Their music just feels lethargic to me.

3 plus minutes in- then the song, then continuous slap stick cut ins - ruin the listening and YOUR appreciation- JUST PLAY THE SONGS!!!! Play GORILLAZ, MODEST MOUSE, CAKE, and THE CURE!!! WHY ALWAYS THE SAME LAME as every channel- PLAY THE BIG ONES (like YOU SAID) THE CURE IS A HALL OF FAME BAND!!! don't play just The radio crap!!! Play the good NON RADIO songs- GOOGLE AND MORE GOOGLE=Fans will tell you!!

Everything I hate about the nineties. Depressing lyrics.. Boring repetitive lyrics. Shi--- musicianship.
