The $2.5 Million Ego Trip That KILLED Chino’s Voice

Guitar Meets Science | November 10, 2026



This week, we explore the chaotic and brilliant history of Deftones, the Sacramento kings of alternative metal who rewrote the rules of the nineties. From a life-changing skateboard accident to the two-million-dollar financial disaster of their self-titled album, we cover every pivotal moment in their journey. We examine the creative friction between Chino Moreno and Stephen Carpenter, the sarcastic origins of “Back to School,” and the tragic accident that changed the band forever. Discover how they survived vocal cord paralysis, studio riots, and internal feuds to become legends of the genre. Kindly like and subscribe – it really helps this channel a lot. I do appreciate it!

Kind folks who want to support the channel – I’d rather you actually have something in return for it. Something killer. Something that puts you heads and shoulders above the rest. So I have this:
This VST plugin, The Stereo Sound Extractor, is BADASS -I coded it up from over 10 year’s hard research. It won awards. Now you can own it for the paltry sum of $29. Yup, I’m basically giving it away: https://burninguitfiddle.gumroad.com/l/rbiuu

    I think the open mindedness that makes artists so great also makes them susceptible to childish theories about how the universe works. So many musicians and artists end up falling for all these weird ass "Flat Earth" theories.

    One of the most overrated bands of the 90s… They made that song Change and thats the only song anyone even knows!
    They are bad… got famous for a song that isn't even the music they make!

    This is one of those bands that I remember, I know the people I hung around with in high school liked them, but I’ll be damned if I could ever figure out why. To me they always seemed to be right on the verge of writing really sick songs, but they always pulled back just before they got there.
