Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno has posted the following message online:

"Hello Everyone,

"I am back from up North visiting our brother Cheng. His condition remains the same - serious, but stable. We, along with the entire Cheng family, would like to extend our gratitude to everyone that's said a prayer or sent out their positive thoughts to Chi. Your support means more than you know.

"During his recovery process, Chi's mother has asked that each day we spread a little bit of good in his name. So each day Deftones will be posting what you can do to help Chi recover. Today, she has asked that you all remember to buckle your seat belts, and remind those you love to buckle up. By doing something so little in his name, you will be helping him find the strength to recover.

"Thank you, and please check back daily.

-chino"

Grrr.

Hope he comes out of it okay and soon. They were one of my first low-profile (in the mid 90's) bands when I was in highschool.

Have been a fan ever since--even though I'm more a tech-death, grind and prog guy now.

Adrenaline, Around the Fur and White Pony are absolute f***ing gems.

Will keep him his family and band in my thoughts.

I remember seeing Chi hugging trees with Serj Tankian at an Ozzfest many years ago. He has an old soul and is amazingly considerate of other people. Hopefully he will heal quickly.

Man, just got Cheng's "The Bamboo Parachute" too - definitely not the worst stuff I've ever heard. Deftones are a brilliant band. About a billion lightyears ahead of Korn. Hope Chi doesn't vegetate for too long.

The following sentence is true. The preceding sentence is false.

The previous statement about deftones being brilliant is true, the other about being ahead of KORN is just ignorant!

TOG: Not if I can get some scratch for it dude! It's the "real deal" stuff that they used on their tour. Some people will pay a lot for this stuff. Trust me, my brother's been doing this for a long time and he always gets stuff for me after the tour is over.

I have two pairs of sticks (one pair that David actually used and the other pair that he threw out to the crowd), guitar picks (Monky,head and fieldy), and an autographed Follow the Leader CD (all origional members of course).
