  • Wrinkled Chinos from MiWish chino would rap more. When he does he is way better than a lot of rap rockers. Yeah the lyrics in this are cheesy but chino makes it work with his delivery. The fact that he could do this and then sing like a sparrow on some of deftones lighter fare is pretty amazing. One if the best all around vocalists of all times.
  • Zero from The Abyss, NjThey also performed this on the Family Values '98 tour with Ice Cube himself as part of a medley with Children of the KoRN.
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjThis song was performed live when the Deftones toured with KoRn, most notably, the Family Values concerts.
  • Rachel from Raleigh, NcI agree the chorus kicks butt! Without the chorus the song would suck butt!
  • Ian from New York, NyAgreed. Without the chorus this song blows.
  • Charlie from Somewhere, CaThe chorus makes the song worth listening to.
