Frank Delgado is the man behind the strange noises. He’s the DJ on service. He made for example that solo on the end of “Fireal” and “Headup”, the “breathing” on the begin of “Minus Blindfold” and some scratchy on “My Own Summer” and more of course. Now with the “White Pony” he’s an official Deftones member, he’s almost on every track of “White Pony” and he sure gave a bit more of development and originality. He started in a band called “Socialistics” from Los Angeles (they used to open concerts for Deftones), and swiftly Deftones recruited him for some workings.
