SONG MEANING Deftones Back To School Mini Maggit EXPLAINED

Deftones remixed a track from White Pony upon request of the record label, who was seeking an additional single from the album. Singer Chino Moreno was initially apprehensive because the label hadn't even given any other tracks aside from "Change (In The House Of Flies)" a chance to stand on their own. He eventually decided to cave in and re-worked their song "Pink Maggit" to feel more like a stereotypical 2000s era chart topping rap-rock radio hit. Chino does not regret the decision but he did feel a bit dismayed when the label reissued White Pony with the remixed track included on the album. The band felt like this threw off their intended flow for the album as a whole but they were still happy with the remixed song as a standalone track.As Chino explains:“They wanted a second single and they didn’t think there were any more on the record. I said, ‘Well how do you know, because you haven’t tried with any others?’ I remember them sitting me down and pointing me out Papa Roach and Linkin Park had sold 6 million albums while we hadn’t sold a tenth of that. To me, they were saying they wanted some rap-rock, and at the time I was already way over making music like that... my response was no way at first, and then they pointed out the chorus of ‘Pink Maggit’ was so great, so they asked me to rewrite it as a three-minute song. They kept hounding me about so I was like ‘Watch this’, because formulaic songs are so easy to write...In one day I rewrote the music and the lyrics, we recorded and then I said ‘Is that what you were talking about?’ And then they said they were going to release it with a video, they were going to get Paul Hunter who directed Eminem videos to do it, so at that point I was like ‘Whatever, I’ll trust you, I don’t care’. When a record company gets behind you like that it’s hard to say no, because the years prior they wouldn’t give us the time of day. So the fact they wanted to push things and pay for things was great. I look back on it now and I don’t regret it – it’s not a terrible song – but the only thing I made a point on was that when it came to do the reissue, they reissued the original record without that song on. It came out and it did what it did.” - Moreno, How 'White Pony' Almost Killed Us, Ben Patashnik, RockSound.tv (Nov 15, 2010) - https://web.archive.org/web/20101121102125/https://rocksound.tv/features/article/deftones-how-white-pony-almost-killed-us
