DEFTONES Keyboardist Defends Singer's Comments About KORN And METALLICA

July 11, 2003

DEFTONES sampler/keyboardist Frank Delgado has defended singer Chino Moreno for his barbed comments he's made in the press about KORN and his Summer Sanitarium tourmates METALLICA, LIMP BIZKIT and LINKIN PARK, saying that a lot of the attention is a function of the press taking Moreno's quotes out of context. "I think they to sensationalize a lot of stuff," Delgado told Launch. "They're trying to sell magazines just like we're trying to sell records, but catch anyone on a bad day you're bound to hear something that no one's going to like, but you can't be afraid to speak your mind, either. I think if you go back and you read those quotes, he really didn't say anything mean. You know what I mean. As a fan of music he's speaking his mind on what he thinks. And besides, whether you're a chef or a plumber, you have to think you're the best chef or the best plumber. I think he brought it up to [METALLICA frontman James] Hetfield, actually and I would have said the same thing. You have to think you are the best and you have to have that attitude."
