Three young guys sharing an apartment, that’s got to have been disgusting. Stef, Abe and I shared an apartment and it was one of the funnest times, very great years. We all lived together when we were recording that record. Was there a real brotherhood in the band at that point?
Things really took off with Around The Fur. We just start making noise and bouncing ideas off each other and what comes out comes out. We just want to make songs that we want to listen to ourselves. When we go in to write songs we don’t have any sort of agenda we’re trying to fill. I still think that we don’t really know who we are. I don’t think we even really knew who we were at that time. Deftones have never bent to trends, you’ve always been slightly outside of what’s going on. There’d be times where I’d be like ‘motherfucker, I know your arm’s tired, you can put it down, I know you hate us.’ It was really rough, but at the same time still the experience of a lifetime.

So we’d be playing and there would literally be guys sitting in the front row in full Kiss make-up just standing there flipping us off for the whole set. Our songs were pretty abrasive, that sound had not really developed yet and people didn’t really understand it. The people that go to see Kiss are there to see Kiss, they could give a shit less who’s the opening band. One time – I still don’t know how we even got on this tour – but we got a chance to open up for Kiss for a whole month, playing in arenas.
Times where we’d play and there’d be nobody there or people were booing us. Were there any situations in those early days that were frightening for a young band? But we pretty much stayed out of trouble trouble. And those life lessons you’ve got to learn the hard way. When you’re a kid you’ve kinda got this attitude, especially if you’re in a band, you’re taught the rules kind of don’t apply to you in a way.

Just every little thing, like learning how to be respectful to one another. Even after we had a record deal and we started touring the world, we were still pretty young, 19 years old. The silliness never stopped, but we were coming of age. (Image credit: Getty) With being that focussed, do think you missed out on any of the stupid teenage stuff most kids go through? White Pony / Black Stallion is out 12/11. Listen below, where you can also find the original.Ī video for Shinoda’s “Passenger” remix will debut tonight at 12:12AM ET as part of the virtual Adult Swim Festival: It’s one of the better remixes in recent memory. Instead, Shinoda has given “Passenger” a sleek electronic makeover without sacrificing the intense rock power of the original. The debuts from Linkin Park and Keenan’s side project A Perfect Circle were also blowing up back in 2000, but this remix does not sound dated in the slightest. Today they’ve released a killer remix of “Passenger,” their duet with Tool’s Maynard James Keenan, by Linkin Park mastermind Mike Shinoda. The alt-metal legends are following up their recent album Ohms next month with Black Stallion, an album of remixes from their iconic White Pony album, which recently turned 20 years old. After yesterday’s discouraging news about guitarist Stephen Carpenter’s connection with reality, we’re back to awesome Deftones content today.
