+ JANVIER - FEVRIER - MARS 2005 + ARCHIVES + titre: TEAMSLEEP: LA VRAI DATE DE SORTIE date: 16/03/05 source: deftonesworld | discutez-en sur le forum. Chino a très récemment discuté avec MTV de l'album tant attendu (doux euphémisme) de la Team Sleep. Et soudain c'est la lumière: la date de sortie de la galette est confirmée pour le 10 mai. Vous pouvez tout de même dès maintenant le commander sur le site américain d'amazon pour $18.98 (environ 14€ (au taux d'aujourd'hui: le dollar est très bas en ce moment alors profitez-en!)). =========================================================== titre: PETITION POUR UN DVD date: 10/03/05 source: petitionspot.com | discutez-en sur le forum. Alors les pétitions on ne sait jamais si ça marche vraiment, mais qu'importe, en voici une qui a pour but de montrer au groupe (enfin à Maverick surtout) qu'il est temps de sortir un bon gros dvd, rempli de lives de qualité, de backstages, l'intégralité des clips, etc... Adresse dans la source. =========================================================== titre: RADIO BLOG date: 07/03/05 source: - | discutez-en sur le forum. Petite nouveauté sur db: un radio blog! La chaîne hifi online du nouveau millénaire! Idée odieusement pompée par moi-même sur tsk (flagellaion mode: on), il est dispo depuis l'accueil du site. Pour l'instant pas énormement rempli, ça devrait s'étoffer dans les jours qui viennent. Attention, vous devez accepter les scripts active x, probablement bloqués par Internet Explorer. Si vous avez des requètes spéciales, exprimez-vous sur le forum. =========================================================== titre: DVD DE SOULFLY date: 22/02/05 source: deftonesworld | discutez-en sur le forum. Le 1er mars prochain sort le dvd de Soulfly: The Song Remains Insane. Et là vous me dites où est la bonne nouvelle (ohohoh bon j'arrête). La bonne nouvelle c'est que dans les bonus, on pourra retrouver une performance live de First Commandment en compagnie de Chino, comme sur l'album! Cette video a été enregistrée en 1998 au Dynamo Festival. Rassurez-vous la qualité ne sera pas celle d'un bootleg. A part ça, la version 4 du site avance. Elle devrait être terminée à la toute fin février/début mars. =========================================================== titre: HYPOTHETIQUES DATES DE SORTIES date: 11/02/05 source: deftonesworld | discutez-en sur le forum. Si l'on en croit le site CDstarts.de, les Deftones devraient sortir leur prochain album le 28 mars. Et le lendemain devrait sortir l'album de la Team Sleep (sortie confirmée ici). Mais selon Monseigneur Deftone$world, la 5ème galette des Deftones devrait arriver en Europe le 7 mai. Personnellement, j'ai fait le pari d'une sortie en juin, et je reste sur mes positions ;) =========================================================== titre: STEPH (ENCORE LUI) FAIT LA PROMO D'ESP date: 11/02/05 source: deftonesworld | discutez-en sur le forum. Il était présent au ESP's NAMM 2004, une sorte d 'exposition de fabricants de musique apparement. =========================================================== titre: STEPH PRETE SON JEU date: 04/02/05 source: the pimp rock palace | discutez-en sur le forum. Le groupe Scars Of Tomorrow entâme la pré-production de son nouvel album en avril prochain en compagnie de Stephen. L'album devrait être produit par Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis) et devrait sortir en mai. =========================================================== titre: VIVE LES TELEPHONES NOKIA date: 01/02/05 source: deftonesworld | discutez-en sur le forum. Alors il suffit que je dise (cf. la news précédente) que l'actu du groupe était morte pour qu'une nouvelle interview et des videos fassent leur apparition! Alors attention, je dis interview mais on n'y apprend pas grand chose quant aux videos, les appeler de la sorte est un peu exagéré vu leur qualité plus que médiocre. En effet elles ont été filmées avec un portable... A noter, la pertinences des propos de Chi durant cette interview ;) Get Connected: What can a listener expect to hear on the new record? Is there anything on the new record that you think will surprise long-time listeners?Frank: Good ol' Deftones mixed bag of tricks.Chi: The Hall & Oates guest appearance.GC: You’re working with Bob Ezrin, who produced amazing classic albums with Kiss, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper and Lou Reed. What is it like working with such an esteemed producer?Frank: Working with Bob has been a great experience. We feel honored and are happy to have him involved with this record.Chi: It’s nice to push around such an esteemed producer. Don’t forget [that] he did Air Supply, too.GC: He is definitely of the old guard. Is it different working with such a venerable personality?Frank: It’s always different when working with someone else, whether it’s other musicians, producers etc. The beauty of it is seeing how others work and learning from it.GC: You’ve recorded all your albums so far with Terry Date. What made you decide to go with Ezrin this time?Frank: We had all decided to work with someone new for this record. After meeting with a list of producers, we chose Bob. We just clicked and all had the same vision of what we wanted to accomplish.Chi: Age.GC: I’ve read that a lot of the new record was written in Malibu, which seems an odd setting as it contrasts so much with your music. How did this setting affect your writing?Frank: I think living together and being able to write when we wanted was more or less the setting we were going for. Chi: It's now surf rock.GC: Has the conception of this album been difficult or relatively easy? Please describe its gestation.Frank: Making records has never really been an easy process for us. We’ve never been one of those bands that write 30 songs and pick the best 10,11 tracks to use. We tend to edit ourselves along the way [and] usually only end up with a little over an album's worth of material. In turn making things longer and harder on ourselves.Chi: Typical Deftones pain-in-the-ass album.GC: How was the band's headspace going into this record as opposed to the last? Frank: Living together during the writing of this record created the perfect headspace.Chi: A lot more sober. Glimpses of sobriety.GC: You have just finished a mini-tour. Did you test out some of the new songs on the road?Frank: We actually never played any new songs. Shucking and jiving the bootleggers is hard work. Ha!Chi: We played no new songs ‘cause we suck.GC: I’ve read that your musical tastes don’t necessarily reflect the music you play. Can you name some artists that you love, that you think your fans should know about? Frank: PRINCEChi: Bryan Adams and Mark Curry.GC: You just went to Mexico City to play a show. What inclined you to put recording on hold for the moment to go down and play? Frank: We haven’t played in Mexico as much as we would like to, so any opportunity is a good one.Chi: We Love Mexico City.GC: Judging by the footage shot, it looks like you played to a huge amount of kids in Mexico. Do you prefer playing a huge show like that, or smaller club shows like on your most recent tour?Frank: We like being able to mix it up. Big, small doesn’t matter. As long as it rocks. Chi: We like them both. =========================================================== titre: EXPRIMEZ-VOUS date: 31/01/05 source: - | discutez-en sur le forum. Pas grand chose à se mettre sous la dent en ce moment niveau actualité, alors j'en profite pour vous rappeler que vous avez un magnifique forum à votre disposition qui n'attend que vous!! A bon entendeur. =========================================================== titre: LA DEUXIEME INTERVIEW QUE TOUT LE MONDE ATTENDAIT date: 12/01/05 source: the pimp rock palace | discutez-en sur le forum. Traduction ici. To break down musical walls, the Deftones have joined forces with the man who helped build the most famous one of all. And Deftones drummer Abe Cunningham says working with legendary producer Bob Ezrin -- whose credit list includes the Pink Floyd opus The Wall -- has been exactly the spark the veteran Sacramento hard-rock band needed. "At this point, we just needed to change things up," says Cunningham from his California home during a holiday break in recording. "And this is definitely a different style. Working with him is just putting us fucking upside down. He's cracking the whip."The Deftones' first four albums were produced by Terry Date, whom the band idolized because of his work with Pantera."We love him with all our heart, and I would do another record with Terry in a hot second," Cunningham says, "but this is just what we needed now. Bob has made some amazing records -- Pink Floyd is one of my all-time favorite groups -- and he's worked with such a wide variety of people."The band chose the more hands-on Ezrin -- who's also overseen albums by Lou Reed, Alice Cooper and Kiss -- after considering several other producers, and entered Ezrin's Connecticut studio last November, following a five-week club tour that Cunningham says was "basically an excuse to get from California to Connecticut."A dozen songs for the untitled album have already been tracked, and Cunningham says the band hopes to write at least a couple more.As for what the new material sounds like, fans have seized on a description vocalist Chino Moreno gave last fall, calling the band's current approach "more Rush than Tool." Especially considering Ezrin's skills as a musician and arranger, some took that to mean the new album will have more in common with the Deftones' 2000 breakthrough White Pony, with its ambitious art-rock tendencies, than the more back-to-basics, self-titled 2003 follow-up."I hadn't heard that Chino said that . . . but yeah, I think it could be more like White Pony," says Cunningham. "It's hard to answer that when you're up inside of it. It's kind of an amoeba right now . . . [but] there's some fairly complicated stuff. There's this one song that has, like, five different tempo changes."What has definitely changed, Cunningham says, is the atmosphere surrounding the band. The making of The Deftones was "a whole period we just call 'the dark days' now," he says. "During that time, there were two divorces. We were real burnt-out, not communicating that much. Things were just really fucked up."Cunningham says it's possible he may turn up on a track or two of the long-awaited album from Moreno's side project, Team Sleep. That disc is slated for a May release, and if things go according to plan, Cunningham adds, a new Deftones album shouldn't be far behind. "We'll have new flowers blossoming, new birds chirping and all that shit," he says with a laugh, "and, hopefully, new Deftones music too." =========================================================== titre: L'INTERVIEW QUE TOUT LE MONDE ATTENDAIT date: 08/01/05 source: daitheflu | discutez-en sur le forum. Voici, dans la langue de ce cher Shakespeare, une interview (traduction ici) de Chino récupérée par le forum de teamsleep.net: How's the record coming along ? Great ! I'm actually up in Connecticut at the moment, and it's fucking freezing right now. Don't you always record in Malibu ? Yeah, but being up out at Carriage Studios is rad because it's great for keeping our focus. There's nothing up here to distract us because it's basically this little farmhouse in the absolute middle of nowhere. It's really just a cabin in the snow.How far along is the record ? All the songs are tracked and I'm just working on the vocals. We took a break for the holidays but we're coming back at the start of January to finish it off, and we're hoping to be done by the end of the month.What's it like working with Bob Ezrin ? It's definitely a different experience. He's this older guy, and he's super, super-analytical. We've never really experienced anything like him - having our shit broken down like that. He's really twisted the stuff we're doing, which is kind of neat because up until now everything we've come up with is pretty much what you hear on the records. Bob's really tried to make some way more complex song structures. It's sick.What's the album like ? Everything sticks together. I wouldn't say it's a concept record, but the themes flow in and out of every song. We've never tried to make one cohesive album so it's been a trip, especially because we're actually getting along as a band. Before this we were arguing with each other all the time because we were really fighting for our parts. It was good, but I think the strongest songwriting part of the band is Stephen and I, and we're really working closely this time. He's a huge riff guy, and he's been doing some way more complicated stuff and I've been really concentrating on my singing and dynamics. It's the way that we sound together this time that'll set this apart.Do you have an album title yet ? We're thinking about 'Saturday Night Wrist'. I heard about this girl who got drunk and fell asleep on her arm and she couldn't feel her hand, and her doctor said that's what it was. As for the song titles, the first we've got are 'Buffalo' and 'Diamond', and they're all based on historical things that interest me. It's all metaphorical stuff for day-to-day shit, but the theme is definitely historic.And what's happening with Team Sleep ? The Team Sleep record was turned in a few months ago. As soon as I'm finished with the Deftones record I'm going back to California and start rehersing with Team Sleep so we can follow it up with a tour. Comme je l'ai dis sur le forum, je crois que c'est au mot près l'interview que je voulais lire de Chino: enfin un groupe qui ne joue pas le jeu de la surrenchère du bourrin du style "ce coup-ci ça va être bourrin... blablabla". Cette orientation vers du complexe était de toute manière fortement prévisible vu le producteur de l'album. Les pronostics de sortie tablent sur le mois d'avril. Qu'en pensez-vous? =========================================================== titre: NOUVEAU MORCEAU date: 05/01/05 source: - | discutez-en sur le forum. Lors du concert donné par le groupe à la House of Blues de Anaheim le 30 septembre dernier, les Deftones ont interprété une chanson inédite qui devrait apparaître sur le prochain album : téléchargez-là ici. Personellement, je la trouve très réussie et originale. Du très bon selon moi en perspective du prochain album du groupe. =========================================================== titre: CONFIRMATION date: 05/01/05 source: cerf du forum | discutez-en sur le forum. La dernière newsletter officielle du groupe confirme la sortie du prochain album au printemps et le début de la tournée le 27 janvier à Frisco. Etant donné que la tournée suivant la sortie de l'album de Teamsleep est censée commencer à la même époque, on peut se demander comment Chino va assurer 2 tournées en même temps...
