Do you think it’s an accurate representation of the rest of the album? Not at all. “Leathers” is the first single from Koi No Yokan. That’s what we were working on at the time, and we never looked back, hoping to have him here with us to be able to play those songs and figure it out. When Chi had his accident, our world was turned upside down.
I check the site many times a day hoping to get some good news, and it doesn’t always come. He’s been in bed for four years, so he’s susceptible to many infections. How is Chi doing? Pretty much the same, man. We used to do these crazy make-up shows on our way to L.A. I think we started coming down there in ’92, ’93. We get to bring all our lighting and sound, so whenever we start a tour we’re able to do rehearsal there and program all the lights and everything before we hit the road. What’s the history there? The Ventura Theater’s great we’ve actually started a couple tours out there. It seems like Deftones have been coming to the Ventura Theater as long as I can remember. I recently checked in with drummer Abe Cunningham to see how preparations were coming along. Now they are poised to release their seventh effort, Koi No Yokan, in early November, and they will take to the Majestic Ventura Theater on Tuesday, October 9, with Scars on Broadway for the opening date of a cross-country tour. They shelved Eros, returned to the studio with bassist Sergio Vega, and in 2010, released Diamond Eyes, a wonderfully human album that works through a complex range of emotions, both positive and negative. Such a tragedy could have sealed the fate of a weaker band, but the five-piece were never ones to let negativity reign over their music, heavy as it may be. The incident left Cheng in a minimally conscious state and inspired a flood of outreach from fellow artists and fans, including one woman who launched the website One Love for Chi to pool fundraising efforts and provide updates about Cheng’s recovery. Perhaps nobody knows the extent of this better than Sacramento’s veteran rockers Deftones, who experienced their greatest challenge yet when bassist Chi Cheng was hospitalized following a car accident in 2008, shortly before they were set to release their sixth studio album, Eros.
