They went down hill in 2006 - 2008 live as the lead singer gained alot of weight, but now hes started to loose weight and they're back on root to rock the festival.

also. is anybody still around from the days (2003-6ish) when every other thread / post was about getting the deftones to play reading? starting rumours, wishlists etc...?

if you are, you finally got your wish

[jammy2211]

Any idea what the setlist will look like? Doubt Eros would be out by August..

[Budweiser]

would expect them to be decent at reading this year. not sure what they are like live since their bassist went into a coma, don't think they play live so much at the moment.

[jammy2211]

At Bamboozled 09 from what I can find they played:

My Own Summer

Korea

Digital Bath

Hexagram

Change

7 Words

Root

Headup

No Back To School / Be Quet and Drive / Bored / Hole In The Earth .

i can't wait to see deftones!!!

i saw them at reading in 2000 and london docklands shortly after. they were awesome both times.

on a slightly seperate note.....any one else seen the bass players tribute site? they are trying to raise money for him to pay his medical bills.....how mad is it that someone in a huge band like deftones has not got medical insurance?! god bless the nhs!

Download 3 years ago they where amazing. Gutted they are not at Download tbh. They would go down so well, Along with Korn, Limp Bizkit, Staind, Static X and loads more Papa Roach hehe. God Damn Download is good this year!!

[tdrules]

im just worried that such an atmospheric band like deftones wouldnt suit a mid-afternoon slot on the main stage

[inspectedinspector]

I still can't get over them being on the line up, I mean this year of all years?!? But I'm absolutely thrilled!

they were pretty good at download 2006 but absolutely awesome at their own show bristol academy april 2007.

I'd really wanna hear Engine No. 9, Teething, Lifter or Feiticeira, but i'd be lucky haha. I don't really care what they play though, everything they've done is pretty sound allround.

How long set will they get, about 40 minutes or something?

[jammy2211]

5th from top is about 45 to 50 mins, albeit there was some talk KoL offered to play an extend 2 hour set or something. If that's the case the day will only have 9 bands and it'll be like a 55 min set :/.

It's okay though, Fall Out Boy will pull out and they'll play 4th .

Im guessing 7 words, Root, Head up, Bored, My own summer, Be quiet and drive, Change, Hexagram, Hole in the earth and Minerva.

Not really sure what to expect, but judging from what i can see of from them at bamboozle, i tihnk they played the majority of that list. As long as 7 words and head-up is played, i can die a happy man

[robsadler]

i think i read the bass player is out of the coma now which is good news....

i am more excited by deftones than anyone else (except maybe radiohead)!!!!!!!!!!!
