I hung out outside with people long after the event ended, and they had a fire set up we all circled around. Todd was the first to come out and we all talked with him for a good while and eventually Chino came out.



They told a lot of old stories and just chatted music with us for a solid hour or so. On top of this I actually befriended the owner of the studio and he brought me into the studio after everyone had left because I came from such a long distance.



I got a picture with everyone in the studio and I got to just sit there and hang out. They were going over the live performance and pointing out the little mistakes that were made. It sounded amazing overall though. Chino and the guys were just having fun, doing Jamaican accents and Michael macdonald impressions. I've got a great video of one.



Out of nowhere Chino decides he wants to lay down vocals for one of the new team sleep songs. Everyone thought he was joking because it was like 1 am at this point and he had been drinking a bit. He went in and did it and sounded pretty much perfect. I took a couple small videos of this.



After they played back what he did a few times he said he wanted more voices on the chorus so he literally got everyone who was in the studio to come in, including myself, to sing the chorus with him. There were six or seven of us and he wanted us to harmonize. We did it a few times and he said he wanted to get each person individually. Gil actually laughed and said that was like asking us to pull our pants down, and a few people were to nervous to do it. I knew that I had to, my knees were actually shaking but I think I did decently because Chino said "that was dope".



I took video and a picture of another person going just to show the situation. I couldn't believe it actually was happening. I'm certain Chino was just having fun with us and the actual song won't keep all the voices, but it was amazing nonetheless.



So around 2:30 am Chino was saying he had to catch his plane in a couple hours and after listening to some more of the live performance we all left the studio. Gil gave me the drumsticks he used in the performance that night before he left. I can't even describe how surreal it all was.



Anyway a few pieces of info that should interest sharing lungs.



Chino said the new Deftones album is not going to be produced by Nick and unfortunately it isn't Terry Date either. He said the name but I can't remember it. He also explained the whole record store day live recordings releases thing. He said they want to do around the fur, but that they are having a hard time getting material from that era. He said it had to do with it being the time when people were switching from vhs to dvd, tape to cd, etc. All of the places he's contacted just don't have the material he wants. He also said that soon he is going to do a cover of the Madonna song "crazy for you", because the show "stalker" asked him to.
