Deftones’ Jumpy Trip With The Engine No.9 In Bandung

Several days ago, Deftones posted a picture of a mural. Not just an ordinary mural, it’s a special one, which was made as a tribute to late Deftones’s bassist, Chi Cheng. Guess where the location of the mural is? Yes, it is in Bandung, Indonesia. For the record, the distance between Deftones’s home soil, the United States of America, and Indonesia is about 9000 miles. So that’s the reason why Deftones’ name was super-famous in Indonesia and they have influenced some of Indonesia’s most notable bands like Burgerkill. By the time when Nada Promotama announced that Deftones would visit Indonesia (this time, it’d be in Bandung) for the second time, the responses from their fans were jubilant.

Chino Moreno, Abe Cunningham, Stephen Carpenter, Sergio Vega and Frank Delgado went on stage at 7.45 PM with ‘Diamond Eyes’ and ‘Rocket Skates’, both of them are a single from their 2010 album, Diamond Eyes. Followed by a track from their classic, Around The Fur, ‘Be Quiet and Drive’. Chino Moreno wore a Joy Division t-shirt and pumped the crowd with his moves and high notes. ‘My Own Summer (Shove It)’, ‘Lhabia’, and ‘Knife Prty’ followed afterwards. Right in the middle of the set, Stephen’s guitar faced some technical difficulties, and then Chino started to rap along during the set. After some difficulties, they finally made it. They played ‘Digital Bath’ and ‘Elite’ before playing ‘Change’ as a tribute to the late Chi Cheng. They played ‘Bloody Cape’ before the encore break. Right after the encore call, they performed ‘Bored’. Followed by ‘Root’ and a special version mash-up of ‘Engine No. 9’ with Kris Kross’ ‘Jump’. They played 7 Swords as their last song.

Despite some of the technical difficulties, the smile on Chino Moreno’s price was priceless when he saw some tribute from the crowd to Deftones’ late bassist, Chi Cheng. And yes, he mentioned the mural that he saw a day before the gig.

“That (the mural) was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.” – Chino Moreno
