A fan video captured Deftones frontman Chino Moreno expressing frustration with autograph seekers in Dallas fan video.
“Go ahead and tell your friends I’m not doing this sh*t no more,” Moreno stated firmly. “You guys go online in your little groups and sh*t, tell people I’m not signing sh*t no more.”
“I signed these right now, but let them know I’m not signing anything,” he added while addressing fans who presented multiple albums for signing.
The incident took place when a group of Deftones fans approached Moreno in Dallas requesting multiple autographs. His statement indicates a new approach to fan interactions and autograph requests.
This confrontation represents a notable shift in Moreno’s typically fan-friendly demeanor. Multiple music media outlets have covered the incident.
The Mosh highlighted Moreno’s history of fan generosity. The singer regularly took time for photos and signed memorabilia, making this recent outburst particularly significant.
Consequence revealed that fans carrying stacks of vinyl triggered the incident. The situation suggested these items were meant for resale rather than personal collections.
The timing holds special significance. Consequence noted that Deftones are currently performing on their North American tour through September 2025. The band is also nearing completion of new music.
VICE observed that such situations have become more frequent. Artists now face increasing challenges from autograph seekers who prioritize reselling items over genuine fan interactions.
