311 and Deftones
Here's a few reasons why I believe these 2 bands would be perfect to tour with this upcoming year..   After both bands showed displeasure in their lastest releases.  Deftones come right out and say they don't like it and how it was made.  311 has come right out and say it by playing 4 songs or whatever it was on the last tour.   Both bands are getting back to the roots and writting songs togeather and fucking the pro tools nonsense.   Both bands are pretty much at the same points in the career.  Both want to rock the fuck out.  Lots of 311 fans are deftones fans and vice versa. Make it happen.

    I wish they would but I am with Bonnie...neither one of them would open up for the other...& I WOULD BE PISSED IF 311 EVER opened up for anyone...Unless Elvis really was alive...or the Beatles rose from the dead...you get what I am saying.

    But if Deftones would open (which we all know they would not) them I would be game.

    I was at Deftones in November of 06 and they opened with Feiticera straight into Digital Bath. I thought they were going to do White Pony straight through but no dice. Still a crazy sick ass show and among my top shows. Top shows being Radiohead at Bonnaroo 06 and 311 day 08. (I always end up picking the latest and largest dose of 311.)

    I posted this topic MANY times on here, and i remember Nutters himself came on and said "I have been trying for this to happen for years, this would be sick." I saw Deftones last July of 07 and It was a mesmerizing show. The Deftones throw down just as hard as 311 does if not harder. Two very similar bands, yet very different. And i do agree, alot of 311 fans are deftones fans. Deftones are my 2nd favorite band after 311. The timing is perfect as well, both have albums coming out this new year. I cant wait!

    311 will never have "their own tour"... thats why there's 311DAY!
    Itd be amazing... but I dont ever see that happening....

    If 311 and Deftones toured together next summer, 311 would be the opener. I doubt Deftones would play 2nd to 311 depressed

    i would rather 311 just play alone..start the show at 8 or 8:30 play a tight hour or hour and fifteen set..take a ten minute break and do the same thing..each night that would be great..15-18 song set each set..nothing wrong with that too me..it wont happen but i can dream

    Nothing wrong with asking for larger injections of 311 and Tonez. Good idea MEL.

    MEL, how do you figure that logic?

    Just basing it on that if they play with another major band that band will play a longer set than your average debut album opening act. They could always start the show earlier but it seems they always start at around 7:30 or so and factoring in the curfews that most cities/venues have it doesn't leave as much time.

    how bout they tour with nobody and play two sets each night

    This is more like it. Touring with other established bands usually equals a shorter set.

    "i am just going to throw this out there...it's far fetched...but since 311 is only doing a summer tour next year...what if the unity tour was turned into a festival (warped tour/lollapalooza style) 2 or 3 different stages...deftones, pepper, ballyhoo, slighty stoopid, first hit, etc...gates open at 10 am and there is just non stop good music all day....i know...like i said...it was far fetched."

    This is the natural growth. The radiation of a higher state has been going on for so long now, it's only natural. However, this one doesn't have all the business angles in view. :X

    To each his own in the studio. I've worked with someone cross cross country and have gotten great results.

    when I meant "pro tools nonsense", i was referring to the band sending songs to one another and working on them individually, rather than create the song as a band. maybe 311 is still doing this, but from what interviews I've read, they've said they've been rockin' out old school stylee. but you'd know more than I my friend.

    They never toured with Deftones. They did a couple of one off dates in 95. It may have been only one in Philly.

    they both have new albums coming out round the same time. it's just a matter of whos the headliner. also have Ballyhoo be the other band on the bill opening up for deftones then let 311 rock the house.
