She was offended because I was in her personal space," says the lensman, whose photo book Fuck You, Fat-Ass, I'm Not Down With Your Scene, is being published by UX later this year . And even though it was a tough few years we went through while making those records, I think it was important to have their optimistic outlook. Frontman David Draiman has reportedly described it as showing the birth of a ferocious monster emerging from a woman's vagina — perhaps a physical manifestation of "the sickness" itself. In retrospect, it's an essential part of their discography and a courageous step forward for a band that could have easily rested on their laurels.

In particular, copies of the images could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another sound carrier. I’m not saying we went in with any preconceived ideas as such, but I do think we went in knowing that we wanted to make this record a little different from the last two. Sometimes when I hear music I see color, and when it came time to work on the artwork for this batch of songs, I knew exactly what I wanted.I think Deftones have always flirted with dynamic and that yin-and-yang of things that are provocative and things that are beautiful. Believe it or not, the mystery fella is Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd's father Chuck — a former Marlboro Man — but why the hell is he slapped disembodied on this album cover? In a genre that is often mired in conservatism, White Pony is a vital reminder that artistry and experimentation are always worth pursuing.

But now, Chino Moreno and Shaun Lopez are already back with even more music: their incredible second album Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete.is unlike any other nu-metal album of its time, and visually, it's unlike any heavy rock album before or after. For example on the albums Gore and Diamond Eyes, Maddocks uses a bird motif, in two different modes to bring out a facet of the music which is unexpected and in so doing creates a new avenue for interpretation for the listener.

The result is an emotionally charged record that deals with loss and grief in a very raw and honest way.Despite all the turmoil, the album turned out to be a masterpiece, and it cemented the Deftones’ place as one of the most important bands in heavy music. And this release represents the Deftones proving that their talent is more humble and runs far deeper than just the style they create. The result was an instant classic, praised by critics and fans alike for its ambition and uniqueness. The amount of thoughtful effort that went into the Hybrid Theory cover is what makes it such a lasting piece of rock iconography. Snot's Get Some cover would've been memorable even if it wasn't tinged with the tragedy: Frontman Lynn Strait died a little over a year after the album's release in a car crash alongside his loyal pal, Dobbs, the doggie de resistance.
