What was your influences? 126 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: Well, I grew up in the in the eighties, so like, 127 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: you know, a lot of like synth pop music was like, 128 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: you know, I was drawn to all that kind of stuff. 129 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: A lot of like British you know, British groups like Duran, 130 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 2: Duran and you know, depeche Mon would obviously The Cure. 131 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: Those were all the kind of dismiss those are all 132 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: like they seem so far away for me as a kid, 133 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 2: like you know, from the other side of the world, 134 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: and it just seemed like, you know, crazy to you know, 135 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: to like this type music. But it was also kind 136 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: of pop music back then too, so but also I 137 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: was like, just like everybody else, I love Michael Jackson 138 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 2: and Prints and things like that, you know, but yeah, 139 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: those were the times. 140 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: So what what led you to this type of music? 141 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: Because you know, everybody in the band, like you grew 142 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: up with, so like, what what led you to this 143 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: type of music? 144 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: Honestly, it was just like my friends. These are like 145 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: like Stephen and Abe. I grew up with them. I 146 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: met them like around ten, you know, eleven, twelve years 147 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: crazy in high school. Yeah, and at the time, like 148 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: you know, we lived in Sacramento, so like Metallica from 149 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: you know, eighty miles away to go and so like 150 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: you know, like the early days of heavy metal for me, 151 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: that that's what that was. And and yeah, so like 152 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 2: that was like, you know, so I started getting introduced 153 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: to that type of music through them. So they were 154 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: really with the music. Actually, aspect of Deftones early music 155 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: was definitely inspired by you know, early metal and things 156 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 2: like that. But like I said, I came from a 157 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: school more of like a new wave and stuff like that, 158 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 2: so that was my influence. So I think the combination 159 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: of like what we did kind of didn't match, but 160 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: that's kind of what made it what it was. 161 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, no doubt. I mean we're we're around 162 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: the same age. And so when I was growing up, 163 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, obviously listen to adam Ant and things like 164 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: that until until I got my first van Halen album 165 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: and then I'm okay, I think I figured it out now. 166 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: Awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean that that's kind of 167 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: the that's kind of like the way that you know, 168 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: I think, what what what's added to I think, you 169 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: know where how we look at music and kind of 170 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: where we are today even it's just like, you know, 171 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: there's kind of no no boundaries. We like what we 172 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: like and we do what we do.
