Chino Moreno finally talked about every track on the White Pony, here's what Chino have to say about each Pony track: 1. Feiticeira - "An old type of deftones song, with really cool rhythms and heavy soft dynamics. Its named after a Brazilian female, but its lyrically about a kidnapping scenario. It details a few hours of being held captive. There's a lot of dialogue in there that was fun to write" 2. Digital Bath - "Abe and I wrote this one, and I play guitar on it. its real celestial sounding with intimate singing. there's a big story behind it. Most of the songs on this album are about different situations" 3. Elite - "Probably the hardest song we have ever written. its really straight forward and doesn't have typical deftones dynamics. its just heavy. I use a vocoder which gave my voice a demonic robot effect" 4. RX Queen - "The most futuristic sounding song. Abe and I created the drum loop - its a crazy, bionic rhythm. I wrote a seedy guitar line over it, and worked with Scott Weiland (stone temple pilots) on the vocals for the bridge. he came up with a really cool harmony for me to sing" 5. Street Carp - "A classic deftones song, with a rolling riff and some really interesting chords in the chorus. the vocals are kinda crazy - I'm singing out loud over the top of the music, like (the smiths front man) Morrissey or something, a cool contrast" 6. Teenager - "This was originally a team sleep song. its acoustic and electric, with pink floydy keyboards. kinda trancey. lyrically, its a teenage love story, which sounds pretty goofy, but its actually alright" 7. Knife Prty - "the record company wanted this to be the first single, but I battled them because it was a little to weird. its a seductive song with a lot of violent imagery. people don't tend to like sex mixed with violence. The mid section has amazing vocals from a girl called Rodleen who worked next door tour studio" 8. Korea - "The first song we wrote for the record. we played it live on the us ozzfest. real heavy and bouncy" 9. Passenger - "This is the one with Maynard. its about being a passenger on a cry journey - we have a lot of car songs! Maynard and I trade off in the verses. its a lot like a tool song, where it goes through different phases. me and Maynard have been friends for a while" 10. Change - "that's the first single we are putting out in America. its not mellow but very washy. its a bit like be quiet and drive. I play guitar on that one too. its a beautiful metamorphis" 11. Pink Maggit - "It starts off really spacey and freaky with just guitars, vocals and turntables. then it turns into just me, and ends up a triumphant anthem about being on top of the world and feeling like the coolest kid in school" </noscript><script language="JavaScript"> if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1) { window.open("http://furacao.terravista.pt/pub/popup.html","Pub","width=480,height=60,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,status=no"); } else { window.open("http://furacao.terravista.pt/pub/popup.html","Pub","width=470,height=60,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,status=no"); } </script>
