Well back in Los Angeles and its always crazy. We got into town around 12am due to a crazy driver losing control and flying off the freeway and bursting into flames, always an adventure on the LA freeways. We went straight to the studio to meet up with Shaun and Chino. Our good friend Benji was there as well and it was good to see him. We all hung out til about 4 in the morning chillin out, listening to music and some crazy speech by Abe made while recoding the Deftones record. I love that guy. We then went back to Chino’s to finally catch some sleep. We talked about getting into the studio around 11 but of course that didn’t happen, we finally woke up around 1 and we took off to
Get some food. So we finally roll into the studio around 3. It was nice to finally get indoors because for some reason its about 50 degrees herein beautiful so cal. I don’t think its ever been this cold in LA, just our luck.
Today was a pretty productive day, we set up the drums and got them dialed in, we then tracked two songs on drums, Helena and Ice landing. Both songs turned out awesome, Chino and Shaun made a lot of cool changes in both songs. So things are going very well, the new album is going to be by far the best stuff will haven has ever done.
We finally called it a day around 11, we all decided to go out to a resturant/bar that our friend Chris works at. It was probably a bad idea to give us free drinks, Mitch at one point fell out of the booth and collapsed on th e floor, so we picked him up put him back in the chair and gave him another shot, fool is like a Gremlin if you get him wet after midnight.
So I would have to say today was a good day, got some work done and still went out and had a good time. Its awesome to be working with Shaun and Chino, they are some of our best friends but we respect them as musicians tremendously. Its nice to have them there.
So its now 3 in the morning and Im about to pass out, tommorow we should be a bit more rested or a bit hungover who knows, but it should be fun either way….
Stay tuned…..
