FAN MAIL: Deftones

Dear Deftones,

It saddens me to hear of the tragic passing of your bassist Chi Cheng. I had the privilege of seeing him perform live during your tour for White Pony and he truly seemed to just enjoy life. During this show which you played with Incubus at Roseland Ballroom in NYC around November 2000, a fan jumped on stage and grabbed Chi's microphone and started singing along to the song. Unfortunately, this fan turned out not to know all of the words to the song to which Chino Moreno said something to the extent of, if you are going to jump up on stage and grab Chi Cheng's mic, at least learn the words. It was hilarious and Chi just went along with the whole thing; he was truly an asset to the musical world and will be missed.

Teary eyed,
Dan
