host metal sound of Sacramento and
beyond welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 def tone songs
[Music]
this list we’ve chosen our entries based
on a combination of the artists fan
favorites and their most commercially
successful soft
[Music]
number ten rocket skates
guns razors knives nobody can sell a
lovesong quite like the Deftones
however after the late chi cheng slipped
into a coma after a car accident
the man was certainly operating on
another level and certainly with a heavy
heart
lyrically rocketskates details the
sadistic romance and through a
metaphysical set of passages sparked by
Chino Marino’s off-kilter vocals the
band delivered one of their most
brilliant modern tracks guns razors
knives
[Music]
we may not get down with all of that but
we’ll get down with this track here
number nine diamond dies
[Music]
at the time of recording their sixth
studio album the Deftones still dreamed
of a reunion with their bassist chi
cheng which makes the lyrical metaphors
of Diamond Eyes even more cumbersome
especially in light of Chang’s death in
2013
however on its own merit and removed
from the context of the Bands history
diamond dies offers a trip to the dark
side of the moon post metal style large
in part to the atmospheric lyrics
combined with a heavy heavy breakdown
[Music]
number eight Minerva
speaking of the Dark Side of the Moon
the Deftones took a pink floyd– live in
Pompeii approach for this track about
the beauty of arts and all those
Minerva’s of the world that bring joy to
others
truly an uplifting song and featuring a
musical aura that produces somewhat of a
transcendental experience Minerva
displayed a bit of the Bands alt-rock
side offering fans a break from the
high-energy metal sound the group is
known for
[Music]
the track was initially promoted as the
lead single for the band’s self-titled
release and holds up as a timeless
alternative classic of the early 21st
century
number seven board
[Music]
while some of the Deftones faithful fans
believe this song to be about a drunk
individual contemplating the surrounding
world scholars have long maintained that
it’s actually about choking the chickens
so to speak
[Music]
as the lead track for the depth owns
1995 debut album board contributed to
the overall sentiments felt by
disenfranchised alternative music bands
at the time and you damn well know that
many could associate with the lyrical
content such is the power of music
[Music]
number six seven words
she jumped up follow
on paper one could look at the opening
lyrics of this early Deftones track and
imagine Bob Marley speaking the same
words well at least until the chorus
[Music]
seemingly about the local five-o and the
concept of you have the right to remain
silent
seven words holds a sense of rage and
rejection that nwa so brilliantly
conveyed just a few years earlier you
might take it up a trip but like Randy’s
on the game tips reading a copy copy of
course by the end of the decade a number
of bands would capitalize on the same
type of sound but few would deliver the
message on par with the Deftones
[Music]
number five passenger
remember
for anyone that takes pride in being
young wild and free this song will
remind of your more cautious friends the
ones yet to fully immerse themselves in
rebellion but still down for the ride on
occasion
tucked away near the end of the Deftones
third album this gem was constructed in
collaboration with tools Maynard James
Keenan
by incorporating a shoegaze aesthetic
tinged with whispering soaring and
downright chaotic vocals passenger
effectively puts one in the back seat
with Deftones leading us to an unknown
location are you down to ride or do you
just want a ride home
[Music]
[Music]
number four my own summer
Deftones maybe a California band however
they were formed several hours north of
the posturing and fake smiles that
Hollywood has to offer with my own
summer they produced an introspective
single about living inside of your own
head and finding a sense of happiness
not predetermined by societal symbols
and labels
[Music]
whether you’re a creative individual or
just someone who finds value in time
alone this track touches on the beauty
of knowing yourself even if others can’t
identify
number three be quiet and drive far away
[Music]
lyrically modest this Deftones single
could serve as a road trip anthem for
some but represents something deeper for
others above all however be quiet and
drive showcases a feeling of isolation
and detachment whether it’s from a
community a significant other or perhaps
within your own home
[Music]
before the Deftones became a well-known
bad it was their sound alone that
reached curious listeners and it was
this single that became their first
commercial hit and even found a place in
various soundtracks
[Music]
number two digital bath
– soft timely and gentle this song is
all about giving a woman a literal
digital bath which seems to be a nice
metaphor for electrocution
[Music]
it’s true as the group has been on
record about the song’s inception
however digital bath certainly does
contain sexual connotations as well
depending on your plans for the evening
this track could function as the
soundtrack for some heavy lovemaking or
one might just want to chill out and
step away from it all
whenever the case Deftones created
something beautiful with digital baths
and it all came from a rather dark state
of mind
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
[Music]
you
[Music]
[Music]
sure
[Music]
yes
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
number one change in the house of flies
[Music]
perhaps anticipating the darker aspects
of human nature that would arise with
the rise of social media
Deftones produced a haunting and timely
classic
on a fundamental level yes the song
references the negative aspects of
change but while many like to judge
others and point out their personal
flaws not many like to admit the sixth
sense of joy they experience from
manipulating the lives of others
in essence change is the song for the
haters or at least those brave enough to
recognize how another’s torment can
inspire a temporary lapse of reason then
again change is for everybody
[Music]
so do you agree with our selections
