Read this: Deftones: An oral history of White Pony
As well as releasing a whole load of White Pony merch, Chino confirmed last week that an upcoming reissue of the record will also come with a full remix album.
“We’re going to do a sort of flipside entitled Black Stallion,” he said. “A lot of people are on it – some that inspired the writing on the original record itself. We had that idea pretty much 20 years ago, even before we started writing White Pony. It’s something we always joked about, and now it’s actually come to life.”
The reissue will also feature the 'definitive' White Pony tracklist, amending the fact that, when the LP appeared on streaming services, single Back To School (Mini Maggit) was track one, when in fact White Pony was originally supposed to begin with the song Feiticeira.
“I don’t think it’s a terrible idea to correct the order on streaming,” pondered Chino. “But at this point in time it kinda is what it is. I still think it’s a great record, but when we do the reissue we’re definitely going with the original version, mainly because that’s what it was intended to be.”
