Deftones Chino Moreno's five sides

It’s a treat from the archives this ep, with Deftones back in Australia for the Good Things festival I thought it’d be a good chance to revisit a beautiful and eye opening chat with the legendary Chino Moreno. Back in 2016 he joined me to Take 5. Deftones have always balanced the brutal with the beautiful, and I wanted to discover the different parts of his musical heart. So I asked him to share five sides of Chino, across five songs.

What he showed up with, was a heartfelt connection to Australia. It’s testament to their ties to us, that he went this way… and hearing why he chose them is an enlightening ride. From Cat Power, to Olivia Newton John, to HTRK, this is the legendary Chino Moreno, Taking 5.
