Deftones

[Samoa]

L'état de Chi, le bassiste de Deftones actuellement dans le coma suite à un accident de voiture, s'améliore doucement. Les médecins pensent que son réveil ne devrait plus tarder.

L'état de Chi Cheng de Deftones s'améliore parcimonieusement. Assisté d'un respirateur, il peut néanmoins respirer par lui-même désormais.

Nouveau message de Chino (via MySpace) :

I been thinking a lot about stuff.. cheng/eros/life ....... i think i wanna show you. Will post soon. Promise. -chino.

Récemment, j'ai réfléchi à pleins de trucs... cheng/eros/la vie... je pense que je vais vous montrer. Je vais bientôt poster. Promis.

Les Deftones seront en concert le 5 avril à Irvine en Californie, sans Chi, dont l'état ne semble pas évoluer. Le groupe continue cependant la composition de leur prochain album.

C'est moyen sans hi

[matt showman]

Sorti de son contexte comme ça, ça peut paraitre moche mais y'a un message de Chino qui explique ce choix. Perso ça ne me choque pas !

D'accord avec toi Matt.

Le mesage en question :

Confirmed: Deftones will be appearing at Bamboozle Left, April 5th at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA. Tickets are on-sale at 10am this Saturday at thebamboozle.com.

With the announcement of our appearance on Bamboozle, we felt like its time to address some things.

First, Chi.
Our fallen comrade has not made significant progress as of late, but continues to fight on from his accident. Doctors are working feverishly to return our brother to us, and we continue to hold out hope and faith that Chi returns to the life he has waiting for him and can join us on stage once again.

For everyone that knows Chi, knows that he never wanted down time. Chi always wanted to keep working and never slow down, which is why we feel confident in returning to the stage at Bamboozle in April. Chi would want it, and we want to make sure we're keeping his legacy alive.

Back in 1999, Chi had to leave the band for a brief moment and our closefriend Sergio Vega filled in to keep the train moving. 10 years later, Sergio is going to step in once again while Chi is down. Sergio is family to us, and had received Chi's blessing before, so without a doubt we know that if Chi could tell us now, he would give us his blessing again.

In the meantime, we continue work on our record, and as for Bamboozle, we felt like we needed to poke our heads up for a quick breath before we buckle down and get this record finished... So we'll see you all in Irvine.

oui, moi aussi, ils connaissent Chi, et s'ils pensent que Chi auraient voulu qu'ils continuent, alors c'est sans doute sincère. Puis, les Deftones ne me semblent pas être un groupe qui ferait n'importe quoi pour le fric.

tiens, d'ailleurs, blink-182 se reforme, putain d'accident d'avion

[Denis]

Chi est sorti des soins intensifs, et n'est plus sous assistance vitale.

The Deftones bassist has begun to take radical steps forward on his road to recovery.

The following has been posted on the One Love For Chi website:

“Hi all - just wanted to update everyone and let you know that chi was released from ICU over the weekend and is no longer on any sort of life support. his symptoms continue to improve. so keep the prayers coming.. they are obviously helping a great deal!”

Je ne crois pas que ça ait été evoqué ici, Deftones seront en concert le 29 aout au festival CabaretVert à Charleville Mezieres...

Deftones travaille sur de nouvelles compos, celles d'Eros (enregistré avec Chi) passant (pour le moment?) à la trappe. Le groupe précise que ce n'est pas l'accident de Chi qui en est responsable mais la volonté du groupe de sortir un bon album leur correspondant

What’s up!

We want to take a minute and address all of you regarding Chi and our new record:

First and foremost, we are all still praying and hoping for our brother’s and bandmate’s recovery. He continues to get hospital care, but often it feels as if we’re no closer to knowing what is ultimately going to happen to him as he continues to fight off infections as part of an ongoing battle with his condition. We trust all of you have been following his progress at One Love For Chi; we have as well. Whenever we have significant information regarding his condition, we will share it with all of you. In the meantime, we’re working on getting a benefit show together for Chi in Los Angeles this fall; details will follow very soon.

Let’s all continue to channel positive energy into the universe for Chi’s recovery.

There has been a lot of speculation lately about what is going on with the record: Eros for one, and Chi’s parts, and this new record that we are currently tracking.

The songs recorded for Eros are very special to us as they are the latest with Chi (and we certainly hope not the last); they have history and significant meaning to us. However, as we neared completion on Eros, we realized that this record doesn’t best encompass and represent who we are currently as people and as musicians. And although those songs will see the light of day at some point, we collectively made the decision that we needed to take a new approach, and with Chi’s condition heavy on our minds while doing so. We needed to return to the studio to do what we felt was right artistically. Our inspiration and unity as a band is stronger than it has ever been before and we needed to channel that energy into our music, and deliver to our fans what you rightly deserve: the best Deftones record that we can make.

The decision to hold off on releasing Eros has no connection with Chi’s condition or anything associated. This was, and is, purely a creative decision by the band to write, record, and deliver an amazing product. As a result we feel like this is the best record we’ve ever written. And although Chi is not playing bass with us, his presence is dramatically felt in our hearts and on our minds everyday when we step into that studio, and you will feel it in the music.

We have some dates coming up this summer as you know, and the best thing that we can do now is to try to return this situation to the closest thing to normalcy as possible. The stage is our home, and you are our family.

Please remember, only Deftones speak for Deftones, so we will continue to periodically release official statements.

More to come soon.

haha c'est marrant, quand même, d'être à l'origine d'une info qui force le groupe à faire un communiqué de presse. Je me sens toute chose, merci Shaun Lopez

(pour les membres de ce forum qui ne sont pas Matt Showman, j'ai annoncé la news le 2/6 http://www.shootmeagain.com/interviews/69_far)

Pour continuer dans la rubrique des souvenirs de vieux soldat :

J'ai vu Deftones en live en 1995, à Orlando, Floride USA. Ils faisaient la première partie de Sugar Ray et des excellents MONSTER MAGNET dans un club dont j'ai oublié le nom.

J'avais trouvé les Deftones pas mal, sombres et lourds, voix puissante et aigue. Mais le nez du chanteur, qui n'avait pas encore cette corpulence, loin de là, pissait le sang toutes les dix minutes, tellement il avait du sniffer avant de monter sur scène !

Quoi qu'il en soit, ils avaient l'air en très bonne santé comparés aux mecs de Monster Magnet, carrément sur une autre planète, translucides, mais pourtant, je le répète, excellents !

Sugar Ray

hahaha Sugar Ray, me souviens

Selon Métalorgie :

Deftones devrait être à Paris le 19 juillet (Zénith) avec Thrice et Gallows.

Deftones + Thrice (bon, si ça pouvait être Thrice période Artist in the Ambulance, ça serait encore mieux, mais on a pas encore inventé la machine à remonter le temps. Malheureusement).
