Dominic Garcia, the founding bassist of Deftones, was escorted out of a live show by his former band for being too aggressive in the pit. Garcia joined the band in 1988 and played bass alongside childhood friends Abe Cunningham and Stephen Carpenter, before he was replaced by John Taylor. Garcia's contribution to the band is often overlooked as he left before they became mainstream. However, he still made time to see his former bands on tour and expressed no regret over his departure.
