Deftones The Boy's Republic Comments
This song describes the 2000s for me
I fucking love this song AND Deftones fans in general. For example, I haven't seen one "Watching this in 2019!" (or insert random year) comment in this section. Mad props to that. I want to slap the sense into those idiots...
Me and the boys bouta form a republic
Reminds me of another one of their best b-sides....Lovers.
I was so excited to get the limited edition of white pony back in the day. Omg plus it had this gem on it. What a time to be alive
Last track of the deluxe edition. I have the red one, and I can't imagine the album without it
The transition from the bridge to the chorus back to the verse will never not give me goosebumps
White pony is one of their best I personally like their first album a lot but white pony was new and exciting for the time!!!!!!
"The new album resembles White Pony." I fucking hope so. This song and a few of the others are 👌👌👌👌 mmm
Also, anyone else get the feeling of desperation from this song? Just me?
Porque no ponen esta joya en Spotify, deezer o Apple Music 😢
They should have dumped Korea and put this song in the original track listing.
Sometimes, a certain time passes without listening to them , because well, maybe I'm on the mood to listening another bands, but when after some time I hear them again is like coming home, I've been a fan since forever. Deftones 4 life!
same here man same fuckin here exactly
i agree with Kevin Van Der Poll..my fave Deftones song..was only released on the variant red covered White Pony album..it was a limited release back when it released on disc..i member having it in my hand at Best Buy, but then putting it back cause it was like $22 as opposed to the regular album only being round $15..I regret it always, but when u 16 years old $22 is lot of money :)
Weezer vibes
In Deftones we trust.
Why the hell was this not on White Pony?! Lol
It is, but in other version of the album
Wish there was a 10 hr loop of the intro
Deftones, nobody else for me, ever!
It's so much fun to play this on the guitar.
Yea, for sure it is. I love Stephen’s riffs, he is not the best in terms of agility, but he is such a creative guy. He is one of my biggest influences when I’m creating musics.
stfu numbers. who the fuck are you?.
one of my very fave defones songs.
Omg this voice
Deftones ☠️ 4 ever !!
Why is this track not on Spotify? Always a struggle to find this gem.
Tim Harrison technically damone is on Spotify bc it starts at the 32:35 mark on the song MX
Tell me about it - wasn’t on the album I bought.
this song isnt on the U.S. edition of white pony (which is on spotify), ....it was released on a deluxe edition i think
@robdizzel420 It was sold as a limited edition in the US
this is why i got my blue star tattoo...i remember being amped when this cd came out!!
Sounds very similar to Isle of the Cheetah by Hum, whom Deftones was extremely inspired by for White Pony.
This and KNIFE PRTY
Hum is life.
It's a direct ripoff of Hum.
Favourite band ever !!!!!
Facts :)
Lol I remember downloading this on Napster.
kazaa/morpheus for me! the good old days haha
Fucking same, dudes. 🤘
Screaming thug till I die before I pass out.
@Sven Jansen The only man who can pass out after he's dead
This is my work song baby
This song feels like home...
Really wish this was on Spotify.
I'm sayin....wtf
I love White Pony, but I had a borrowed red cover copy before I bought the album. Still never quite got over finding out this track isn't on the normal version.
I only know the acoustic with lava. Holy spit.. this one
I traveled all the way from Tongoy to Santiago (summer hollyday time, February) almost 6 hour bus travel just to see Deftones back in 2001 when they played in Chile....White Pony was HUGE for our generation (im currently 37 years old) and the ESTADIO CHILE was full packed. MTV ruled back then, Digital Bath and specially Back to school were massive hits...and in order to listen to songs like Boys Republic you MUST buy another version of the record 8red and black if im not mistaken). The so called "new/agro metal" scene was at the peak of its powers, SOAD put Toxicity our there and Korn also came to Chile a year later (March 2002), and bands like Limp Biszkit, Papa Roach, P.O.D etc, were relevant back there......but as they said, quality always prevails....and 17 yers later, DEFTONES remains a huge force, relevant, with a loyal Chilean fanbase who already sold out 3 shows for next month (9 thousand people will show up to see them).
U were a jit tho. That's awesome. I love how they have a rabid fanbase everywhere. Rock on
This cut along with a lot of others from Deftones is locked in my "music to make fuck to" vault...
On the toilet taking the biggest shit listening to this.. feelsgoodman
beautiful
My fav song of theirs
Haven't heard this in years and is still mind blowing fuckin awesome deftones track

Loyal since 96
DEFTONES!!!!!!
I see a lot of comments about race, music is universal it knows no boundaries.. I'm Latino and deftones is my favorite band next to Metallica and I grew up listening to west coast Gangsta Rap and was a gang banger most my life.. Deftones are for anybody, black white Latino Asian doesn't matter !! \m/
Fo' Sho Mfo'* ( short for bro! in zulu, long version, 'mfuwethu')*
Yeah man half chinese half mexican his real name is camillo people just call em chino
You are right bro
They have my heart forever. Since I was 14. I'm now 32
idk why but i honestly feel this could've been either a ST or Around The Fur track, but i'm honestly leaning towards more of ST.
The tone of the guitar sounds most like White Pony. I think it'd have fit well onto S/T though.
Shine your light DOWN
♥♥♥
Is this a cover song or a Deftones original?!?!?
Seth Nicholls original song...should be required listening for all Deftones fans...was a bonus track for the limited edition reissue of White Pony.
It was on the original
There was 3 albums. Gray red & black.
Red/Black had this song on it
White pony reissue came out months later w/ back to school
Daniel Machuca I bought wp when it first got released and was pissed to find out there was variants of the album with this stellar track on it. If only I knew back then but internet wasn’t much of a thing back then like it is now.
I'm hearing a didgeridoo in the beginning
Holy shit I'm a super huge Deftones fan how am I just now hearing this for the first time?!! Gotta say though, it is wonderful to hear some 'tones that is fresh to my ears....ESPECIALLY white motha fuckin pony!! And on its anniversary!
best song on the album.
this song was only available on limited edition, white pony, Red and black CD covers.
Maria Hawson that’s right bro, it’s not even available on Spotify
back to the primitive!
deftones stop ! come back to Origins!

you kids today, with your attention seeking and your safe zones.
Its dope, first time hearing this, love the raw sound
more bands should record like this
@DiegoisHere glassjaw
this song is so rad, but I have to say the acoustic version I like a little better and I no I'm not alone on that
https://youtu.be/184iWpbSlIA
Link to the acoustic version played in Hawaii
Be quiet and drive on B sides and Rarities is fuckin siiiick
Fuckin awesome
I love this C major thing going on in this song.
happy sound
Ever notice how deftones sounds better the louder it gets? Almost every song. My shit right here, one of the best on white pony
So true, and also a total sleeper song off WP
DEFTONES!!!!!
That intro tho
I love being 17!! Deftones!!
durrell dee Props to you for appreciating real music and not limiting urself to that ubbuta ubbuta rap trash like most Teens ur age...gud for you!...👏👏👏...Rock it til the boobs fall off!!!
I used to rock out to this back in high school
im jewish yes !!!! im listen deftones sometimes in the desert im military in tshahal i need this music after im ok i see different its my drugs last night in the check point adrénaline and i do my control the war with deftones fuck fuck the music make me calme
Do you think Hexagram is about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict?
+Tony Greaves no no never
2:46-3:00
If your black listing to this reply back lol. I think I'm the only black person that listen's to deftones lol. Most black folk I know only listen to rap....:)
your not the only one Deftones transcends all boundaries...race/creed/religion..... music to live/fuck/ and die too..
Im late but I'm here 💕
I had a black friend who liked rap, but thought that Deftones was alright and loved Tool.
Right here!!!!
Nah, bro, you not alone 💪🏾
Classic Deftones style.
The intro to this song is awesome!! Even though it is pretty simple in technical terms, I can and have listened to it 10 times in a row before just to hear when the drums come in. I fucking love this band, and have for about 20 years!
It sounds like they got really influenced by Maynard after recording with him, cuz the intro sounds a little like tool. But yea, awesome!
+Sasha Frimer I hear some smashing pumpkins in there too
nick s me too!!
Deftones for life!
the best song off white pony
+Corey Payne ...hell...no...
Corey Payne it's the jam but not the best track off WP
It's great but I disagree. My top 3 would be 3) Digital Bath 2) Knife Prty 1) Passenger, but all are great.
nah, i think Street Carp is pretty dope!
Dude shut the fuck up, if anything it's the worst
This gets the blood flowing
I bought a second version of White Pony to get this song back in the day when YouTube, Spotify and other online services weren't available. I feel out-of-date and I'm only 28!
Christopher Faulkner my copy of white pony lacked this track. youtube is awesome for such things.
Christopher Faulkner samesy
I did the same. Bought limited edition first dat out. Number 733 i think. Ive since lost it. But then had to buy normal version for back to school etc... You're only as old as you let yourself feel.
I remember i was so happy i bought the red album because of this song ;)
Man this song still isn't on Spotify sadly. Really wish it was.
Whomever disliked this, was clearly not a fan!
most likely gay
@Tyler Linberg super gay....
Uber gay
DEFTONES!!!!
Jessi Smith Boyle well no shit sherlock
Just "discovered" this song... awesomeness :D
Great song!!!! You're awesome:-)
Mee too!
Bong Tokes, blaze up. DEFTONES
Fuck man. Heres the thing; I can't import it on iTunes, but I was able to on my PS3. I don't know, bu it's weird. Sorry about your disk man. Look for another on Amazon, that's where I got mine.
My Cd got busted too and I fucking miss this song, purchased the disk again in itunes but this song is not there :(
smoke a joint
One of my favs. Deftones songs EVER!!AMAZING!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FUCKING INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will give 20 to anyone who puts the lyrics on here
Oh man. I've been looking for this song since my horrid sister broke my red pony CD and all I could find was the live or acoustic version. Thank you Paul David, you just my life a little better :)
Ashley Cardona my copy of white pony did not have this song. i finally discovered it like what, 20 years after the fact?
Just picked up the redpony cd after years of looking..... good bye back to school, hello boys republic
Jaime Wikoff i bought both red and black new!!! I waited years for that album
Yeah, even though mine doesn't fuckin work no more -_-. I got to put it on my iTunes once, and now, never again :(
I love this defmetal
Remember covering this song on vocals while my friend played the acoustic guitar. The experience was euphoric.
doh! you bought the marked up version - I never bothered because MTV got a hold of White Pony and said, oh you should have bought this version...the Original WP was obviously the way to go on that purchase.
it kind of sounds like a didjeroo, like Incubus used on the beginning of the song, "redefine". (at least i think that's what the instrument is called.) other than that it just sounds like guitar and drums with some echoey effect.
i kind of agree with you, but to say it ruined it is a bit much, i think. it's kind of like a bonus scene after the credits at the end of a movie. it doesn't change what happened before it. i'm more on your side with back to school, though.
ruined it for you, for the rest we fucking loved it!
blue star shine your light down on everyone 'cuz i don't care
Great song, but it ruined the "flow" of WHITE PONY by including it, just like tacking Back To School onto the beginning did. WHITE PONY is that rare album where listening to it in its entirety is more powerful than just picking single tracks. They should have saved those two for the next album.
The band didn't want it on the album, the record label put this and Mini Maggit on there against their wishes. The original release didn't have them, if I recall correctly.
Yeah, it really does "Storm" comes to mind. That makes it even better.
rip chi cheng u will be missed prayers and luv 2 your family
Chi! <3 As long as your music is here.....you will never be forgotten!! <3
Love this song! RIP Chi
It's called Deftones style. ;)
These guy rock live.
