Deftones‘ vocalist/guitarist Chino Moreno has shared his thoughts on Stephen Carpenter’s controversial conspiracy theory beliefs. Carpenter has shared that he believes the earth is flat and he has also questioned the effectiveness of vaccines. During an interview with Dewey Halpaus, Moreno said, ” . . .It was actually tough for a minute, because obviously I’ve been friends with him since I was 10-years-old. And you know he wasn’t always this way.”
He continued, “I will say that the weed probably has a ‘lil bit to do with his conspiracies and this and that and whatever, because he just, you know… And then probably sitting at home, just looking on whatever sites he looks at. It probably doesn’t help being smoked out and all that stuff and whatever.”
Moreno added, “It’s weird though, when we’re together it’s like we don’t even talk about any of that stuff. We play music, we laugh, we have a blast playing music. We’re still friends the way we were when we were kids. But it’s not like I haven’t heard him go on his tangents before and it’s just like I’ll listen for two minutes and then I just can’t, you know what I mean? ‘Cause he’ll just go off into no man’s land.”
