Details

• Deftones was formed in middle school by three of its members.
• The album cover for 'Around the Fur' is a picture of a random girl at a party who the band had to track down to get her consent.
  
• Driving is also the theme of the Deftones song 'Passenger'.
• Part of the reason Deftones sound different to many bands in metal is that they're influenced by an eclectic array of outfits from outside the genre such as the dream pop of Cocteau Twins, which explains the mist like haze in their sound, Depeche Mode, The Cure and Mogwai. 
  
  
• "I was one of those kids who thought heavy metal was devil music. I can't say I'm really a metal fan or a hip hop fan, cause there's so many crappy bands out there. I just like a little bit of everything. I think other people are starting to think that way too." [Chino Moreno talking to yamaha.com]
