"There was more to Deftones and there was definitely a wider appreciation for them but on the whole people didn’t really give a fuck."

This is interesting and makes a certain amount of sense - can't imagine the two albums after this did much to change that? I remember when DE came out it got a heavy push from Kerrang (which explains a lot about that entire generation of mallcore-brained Deftones fans ig), but had the sense they were halfway between the mainstream and a those-who-know deal beforehand

I saw them at Brixton on that Diamond Eyes tour.

They were outstanding. Opened with Rocket Skates and it remains one of the best openers I’ve ever seen.

Yea that’s exactly it.



Deftones in the states had the biggest impact. They were the skaters’ band and people definitely lumped them in with Incubus and Linkin Park around this time
