Deftones Serve Up 'Buffalo' With Serj On New Disc |

Chino Moreno of Deftones said he's doing a side project with Serj Tankian
"I wasn't interested in making a Deftones record at the time, and we were
writing songs here and there, but no one really wanted to take control of the
project," he explained. "With Team Sleep, there was just so much creativity
going on, and everybody wanted to try all these weird, different things. So I
just had more interest in it, and I told everyone [in Deftones] I was going to
go away for a while. And Team Sleep was really fun for me. Some people enjoyed
it, some people didn't."
And there are several guests who'll be appearing on the album, he said,
including Giant Drag singer/guitarist Annie Hardy on the electronically inclined
"Pink Cell Phone," which "reminds me of a club song, but it's Deftones, and
that's what's awesome about it," said Moreno. System of a Down frontman Serj
Tankian appears on the song "Buffalo."
"I've done a lot of stuff with a lot of people, and Serj came by and
sang a little melody in this little part of this one song," said Chino. Other
tracks planned for the record include "America," "FM" and "Beware." "I like to
use people for what it is I like about what they do, and to me, I really like —
I'm not too into System of a Down, lyrically, so much as I like some of the
melodies that him and [guitarist] Daron [Malakian] do. That's what I utilized
him for."

He doesnt really like System of a Down lyrically, so he just 'used' them for their melodies?

If you don't like them lyrically, you don't actually like System of a down.

The collaboration sounds hot (hot! hot!) but I can't help but be bothered by Chino's attitude. Oh well. Serj is a big man; he can handle it.

You're right AK, it sounds bad to "use" him...

Yeah, the collabration is gonna be sweet and I'm not too bothered about the "bad" attitude, besides i was only his opinion, not ours, so leave him be man, sorry if i upset anyone with that. :-) Go Tones!

a) deftones fecking rule, b) Deftones with Serj guesting will be supreme, and c) what are you talking about, "using" Serj for his voice!? That's just a stupid thing to say - Serj has obviously agreed to do it and is up for it, it's not like they vowed to kill all he holds dear if he doens't do it! 'Use' is used to mean 'would love him to do it because he's an awesome melodic vocalist' I suppose deftones 'used' Max Cavelera and Maynard James Keenan as well, did they?

Chino didn't say he 'used' Serj, he said he 'utilized' him , ie he made use of his talent. Two different things.

But even so, Daron_Shavo_lol STILL makes a good point.

Do, daron_Shavo_lol doesn't make that good point. A trillion people love... I don't know, radio/video, but half of them will tell you they honestly think the lyrics suck. Anyway - Chino + Serj = Godlike.
