A Working Class Hero Is Something To Be… From Ming Cheng
I had never heard the song before about 6months ago. I had read in Guitar World that Billie Joe Armstrong had done a cover of the John Lennon song. He said it was as good a songwriting gets. After hearing it I see what he means. It does rock. With just an acoustic guitar no less. That’s when you know it rocks. When u take away the image and amps. Is there still a song there? Does it have...

Been thinking of Chi so much these past few days (more than usual) which prompted me to finally “join” the site. I reconnected with my “first love” last week, with whom I saw my first Deftones show with. He actually did a new piece of ink for me and we talked for the 3 hours straight. When I got home I just could not get Chi out of my head! When we saw that show years ago...

I had the pleasure of hanging back stage with the Deftones several years ago in Phx, Arizona. I spoke for a while to Chi that evening...
Read MoreMan, I wish I had a beer right now as well…
My story is brief but I just wanted to share it. A friend and I had just seen the Deftones in May of 2003 outside of St. Andrews Hall in Detroit. We were just hanging around outside the venue after the show and Chi came out and greeted us with his usual friendly demeanor. He had just opened a Coors Light bottle and amidst the small talk I mentioned “man, I wish I had a beer right now as...
