Original quote in English :
> 3) You also helped produce Deftones' Saturday Night Wrist as well as their forthcoming album, Eros. Could you tell us anything about the album?

That record has been shelved as far as I know. Since no one really knows the status of Chi and if and when he's going to come out of this thing, it's kind of hard to just release a record that he played on. It's a really sad and unreal situation for the band and for me...

I know the band are currently writing more new material and are staying active. I've heard some of the new material and it's great. With the proper producer I think that band could blow minds once again... I'm a friend, but also a big fan of what they do.




Yet, Lopez don't seem sure.

so from what I understand they are starting over with this new guy on bass and pretty much making a new album that will be released in october?

[ablackswan]

october was a release date for eros.
i dont think they will record a new album for october

[Jacob]

october was a release date for eros.
i dont think they will record a new album for october

yeah that sounds logical, but wasn't it pretty recently chino talked about the new stuff and said it'd be released in october?

this might be completely new news though and we might hear something more official any moment now.

Fuck man this sucks!! this is such a tragic twist in the Deftones tale..

But i see the reasons why..what else does a band do?

its a tough time for sure..fuck, will Chi return to the 'Tones?

what a bummer!!

but i like this line...

-"With the proper producer I think that band could blow minds once again... "

i agree with that! : )

Goddamnit...

[White Wrist]

isn´t terry date the "eros" producer?

[sharinglungs]

isn´t terry date the "eros" producer?

Yes, its been stated many times.. this is a bullshit post.

[Hidalgo]

maybe i'm too negative, but i'm just hoping Chi can get to the point where he can comunicate, & enjoy his life. i've sorta stopped thinking about a 100% recovery & return to the band, so if that happens someday it would be a really great suprise. (of course i'm hoping & praying for him to make a full recovery...)

[Vesanic]

These times suck hard, for real.

[defTHE1s]

Don't know exactly what are they doing... but i think (it could be a possibility of millions) that they're releasing the new album this october with the songs they've written with Sergio, and then, when Chi wakes up, they'll release the stuff they've written with him...

but I don't know... don't know what to think or what is gonna happen...
I'm worried about this situation.... 

[Inkblades]

I really hope Slowpez is wrong.

[nicklav]

I really hope he has nothing to do with anything the Deftones put out from now on. He made Chino sound like garbage on SNW. Do not want.

[Starz]

With the proper producer I think that band could blow minds once again...

What the fuck is he talking about here? We all know Terry Date was working with them and that 'Eros' is supposedly finished. I'm skeptical...

[kameron632]

this is bullshit

[defskull]

Why would they shelve it because Chi is in a coma?  Many bands change bassists over time.  Worst case scenario assumes that Chi wont be able to play bass anymore, doesn't it make sense to release the last stuff he ever recorded?

[pixElsblUr]

ahhh dude, it's in French what the fuck, any english version of this?

[Inkblades]

With the proper producer I think that band could blow minds once again...

That basically means any producer but Shaun Lopez.

[Vesanic]

ahhh dude, it's in French what the fuck, any english version of this?

Doesn't matter, the translated part by Hidalgo is the only one talking about the Deftones
