Deftones Guitarist Dismisses Split Speculation

(TeamRock Radio) Stef Carpenter says that technology is to blame for people being too emotionally invested in what other people do. The Deftones guitarist has dismissed the rumor that he could split from the band, following comments from frontman Chino Moreno that he was "the odd man out" in Gore studio sessions - and his own admission that he initially didn't want to work on the record.

He tells TeamRock: "That could have been any day. That could have been any album. It could have happened on every record we've ever recorded. People are too emotional about their lives. I see it in my lives and my friends' lives, technology has given people so much information and it should have been something that freed us up and be more rational. Instead everyone is more emotional and stressed, and so heavily invested in the behavior of other people.

"Remember before all this communication? When you didn't have your friends and a bunch of strangers feed coming into your life and you could just enjoy your own life without hearing about all this stuff all the time?

"You just got on with your life and your problems and it was all fine. So people need to cool off." Read more here.
