Seriously if someone is bored link me 2-3 of Deftones absolute best songs. If there is any interesting back story to them, lyrical inspirations, etc let me know too.
It drives me fucking nuts that i just don't see what the big deal is about these guys.
It's a comparison of Headliners vs a mid tier band at best )
Deftones have reached Drowning Pool heights, no more.
Which isn't true. Deftones/Lamb of God can't headline arenas and amphitheaters like SOAD does, but they headline the next level down, i.e. the big theaters and smaller amphitheaters, and play direct support for arena bands. Drowning Pool is a club band, just a bad comparison. That's all I meant.
Which isn't true. Deftones/Lamb of God can't headline arenas and amphitheaters like SOAD does (STATEMENT ONE), but they headline the next level down, i.e. the big theaters and smaller amphitheaters, and play direct support for arena bands. (STATEMENT TWO)
So you're saying that they aren't on the same level? That one plays arenas and that one doesn't?
I was disputing 1) that they're a mid-tier band, I consider bands just below arena headliner to be bigger than that but that's semantics, fine, and 2) that they're on the same level as Drowning Pool, which is objectively not true lol.

Just to name three random ass great songs off the top of my head. Check out "My Own Summer (Shove It)" and "Diamond Eyes." Both very popular songs of theirs that both have fucking crushing ass heavy riffing. Look up "Minerva" for an awesome melodic/catchy tune. "Hole In The Earth" is one of my favorite songs but them if you like these three, check that one.

It's like comparing dog shit that you accidentally stepped in and pizza.
SOAD - 6.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Not sure what that has to do with anything but OK.
LOG hasn't even cracked one million monthly listeners yet. They're right up there with Nonpoint lol.

The worst part of this discussion is that now I'm imagining a Deftones "long vowels in whiny tones" version of Bodies
"Let the bahdiiiiieieeeeieeeeieees
HhhhhhhhiiiHhhhhhhhiiiiiit thaaaahhhh
flllllooooooooorrrr"
It's not good.
