Deftones' Stef Carpenter to miss upcoming tour: 'I'm just not ready to leave the country yet'

A hometown friend will be filling in.

When Deftones perform in Europe and the UK this summer, they will be without guitar player Stef Carpenter, who says, "I'm just not ready to leave home and leave the country yet." The band's "good friend," Lance Jackman, will be filling in.

Carpenter issued the following statement this morning (see below): "As much as I would love to be on the road with my brothers, playing for all of our incredible international fans, I have decided to remain playing domestically for now. With everything going on in the world, I'm just not ready to leave home and leave the country yet. I wish I can see each and every one of you, but for now, our good friend from Sacramento, Lance, will be fulfilling my duties. Although I'm watching from afar, I'll be there in spirit with my Deftones family."

I remember hearing this dumbass on a podcast saying he refused to get dental work done because they made him wear a mask in the waiting room. On top of the flat earth shit...clown city

Full blown retard.

Guy has flown to Australia and claims he didn't know how he got there or if the world is indeed round. Eh, sucks for the 'tones to have that liability around.

"I remember hearing this dumbass on a podcast saying he refused to get dental work done because they made him wear a mask in the waiting room. On top of the flat earth shit...clown city I know it's difficult for submissive little gays like you to comprehend men standing up against humiliation. Best lay off the cuck porn man" Yes because a straight, macho, tough guy, grown adult man would feel "humiliated" by being asked to wear a face mask in a medical environment... i cant believe the audacity of these 'submissive little gays'. Especially the fact that they wield the power of 'humiliation' towards these grown adult NON CUCK men.

If you are ashamed to be in Deftones it's ok to just say that and that you hate being in that shitty band. We can all understand that! we all hate Deftones too!

anonymous 5/20/2022 9:17:55 AM

All of you weasel dickswabs condemning the man for not wanting to fly internationally (presumably) because of the technocratic, medical tyranny-imposed regulations set by puppets of the WHO and WEF based on a glorified, gain-of-function cold created in a lab in a communist country, need to slap their muzzles back on their faces, stick another Q-tip up their ass, continue to inject themselves with an ineffective and unproven experimental cocktail and shut the f*ck up already.

Yeah, the dude from Deftones who lives alone and has done nothing but smoke bales of weed and play dumb 11-string guitars for 30 years straight has this entire world and plane of existence figured out. We're all the dumb ones.

anonymous 5/20/2022 10:13:18 AM

I don't blame him for not going over there, they have their dates backwards. the covid vaccine is a farce and is worse than the virus it was "trying" to stop. get the damn cold and move on. unless you are 80 you will be fine just getting covid.

anonymous 5/20/2022 10:19:57 AM

BASED all y'all would do well to begin adopting this frame of mind. The days of freedom of movement are over. The days of freedom are over. It's time to pick a side or hunker down. If a burned out south Cali nu-metal leftover can understand the paradigm has shifted, what does it mean that you can't? God Bless.

anonymous 5/20/2022 10:37:06 AM

i don't blame him. america kicks the ass out of every other country. if you leave, there's no telling if they'll decide there's another covid crisis and the shithole country your in could prevent you from leaving, or that mental deficient Biden could keep you from re-entering. reservoir_dogs_fck_all_that.gif

The same counterculture types buying hook line and sinker into a tremendous push by major media corporations and big pharma. Bunch of f*cking sheep. Zero conviction. So intensely foolhardy it's depressing.
