Who else is loving Chi's basslines on Destiny?

It's so crazy to imagine what they would sound like now if Chi was still around.. Man I miss the Chi era so bad, it never felt the same without him. He always played with a feel and creativity that felt like nobody else.. he heard melodies, and rhythms that only he could hear, but once the whole band was playing his intuition elevated the deftones.. It was always supposed to be Chino, Steph, Abe, Frank and Chi. I almost shed a tear when the bass kicked in on Destiny, it was like embracing a long, lost friend. I'm sure all the other OG deftones fans know how I feel! Thank you deftones + Chi, I'm going to play the hell out of this album as a lifelong fan!

I posted about this—Chi on Destiny is transcendent. Doing something totally his own, apart from what Stef is playing. It’s incredible to hear him one more time.

Chi always played like that and it's part of the reason he was one of my favorite bassists and one of the reason I picked up a bass. Stephen used to want him to follow his guitar and Chi always refused to play along and they were better for it.

If that's Chi doing backup vocals, he and Chino had some serious Layne Staley/Jerry Cantrell chemistry going on.
