Well, good thing they're at last stepping forward in adressing Chi's condition and making something relevant: a benefit concert. It took some time but it finally came, more power to 'em!

About the album: this is highly awkward and sometimes bizzarely worded...I don't think I'm that interested in an album without Chi, I watched some Bamboozie videos last night and frankly, it screams: "something/one is missing...big time!" Vega don't cut it for me sorry.
But then again, it might be the best decision for them...I don't know.

[fliesinajar]

The unreasonable discontentment and anger on this board clearly shows ignorance and a lack of compassion for the Deftones. I am certain their decision was made with full regard to the current situation and I support their actions. Please, reconsider your irrational selfishness before you post an unnecessary response.

Hi guys. I have loaded gun in my mouth 

I though rock_n_frost would be the first doing it 
but maybe he is dead now 


but back to topic........................
i feel ... mixed emotions.... so, there will be new new album, scheduled for god-knows when... eros was supposed to october? or is this new new album the one that will be on october?
And about Chi... they've said that "canceling at the moment" Eros is nothing to see wit Chi's condition, so, they should release ... shit.... no words coming to mind...
let's think positive, and hope Chi's recovering ASAP, yeah, they are doing well in keeping busy, not sitting until Chi wakes, but they should release this album, wether Chi is awake or not.....



what the *¨***+....



let's load my gun too   

[defTHE1s]

no.. wait... *throws loaded gun away*

i can wait for Chi awakening while Muse and Rammstein and some other bands release their new material this fall!

[defskull]

I find it odd that this is the first album where they essentially finished it, yet then decided to scrap it.  The update says it wasn't Chi related, but really?  Are the bass parts too hard for this new guy to do?  Or could the lyrics be seen as unintentionally disrespectful to Chi now that he's in this condition?  Or are they looking further ahead where a Chi-less Deftones band is a possibility and want to start getting used to a writing environment with the new guy?

I know we may seem selfish as fans, but we have hardly heard anything from the band since the accident.  I believe they owed it to their fans earlier than this to let them know how they felt about everything.  If we had more updates then maybe we could see how the band got to this decision.  Instead we get an update once every 8 months.  Maybe they're taking it very hard?  I mean at this point it's not so much about the album but just rather how they have kept the fans updated with Chi.  Yeah there is oneloveforchi which is great but it's not the band helped out with that.  And if they did, we have no idea about their involvement.  I'm typically okay with Deftones lack of updates when it comes to their music.  I don't mind.  But I feel like when it comes to something much more serious with Chi and the future of Deftones up in the air, I think the decision process should be more public.

Guys, I think you're missing the point here...They are indirectly saying that Eros kinda was not up to their standarts. If you are not proud with the art you came up with, then why release it? I think chi would agree with this too.
I don't think that EVERY eros song will be scrapped, my guess is that 3 or 4 tracks will make into the new record under a revised version. And I don't really think they will release any eros track that won't be on the new record after the new record(FYIHYD, Buffalo, "will also see the light of day", remember?). Deftones's Songs from the blackhole.

By the way, I wish they had done something to help chi sooner...I can understand how hard this situation is though.

All I see in here are a bunch of whiny babies who aren't getting what they want so they bitch about it.

[feedthegod]

You know what this tells me? The album must have sucked. We've only heard the one song, but it didn't even sound that great (like RatsRatsRats 2) and just wasn't impressive. So now I believe this is a clear indication that Eros probably just wasn't that good.

I find it really odd that they would pull the album and not release it. Why can't they release it now for the summer and then try to release another album in the fall? Not to mention how much money is this costing Chi and his family to not have the new album. I'm going to assume that Vega will receive the proceeds of sales of the new album and tour...while chi sits in a coma getting nothing. That is VERY shitty to me.

[Deftones86]

i seriously doubt chi will get nothing ,maybe nothing from the label but do you really think they will let chi just sit there and die because he has no money? really if deftones are that bad of people then i dont want there music...but i know better...get well chi and good luck deftones

If you have a job, and dont go to work for  a whole week straight... do you get paid for that week? No. so fuck off with the "this sucks that Chi gets no money" thing.

[Inkblades]

They wrote an album with Vega that quickly? From his twitter today:

As for not releasing Eros, I'm not really sure how I feel. I don't exactly understand why, but I will respect their decision. Here's one thing I do know though: Trust that my mindstate will never be "Fuck Deftones."

[mr.sinister]

Fucking. Deftones.

Although I am initially upset about this whole decision that the band has made to basically hide away Eros, and write a new album with some fill-in (no offense to Sergio) I do understand were they are coming from. Its their music they can do as they please. Like they have said it so pretentiously and selfishly in the past; "we do music for ourselves".

But one thing I just do not understand is why hype the shit out of Eros saying its gonna be their tightest record because of their relationship as friends is at the strongest point of their career and then proclaim "we realized that this record doesn't best encompass and represent who we are currently as people and as musicians".

But maybe with Chi temporarily out of the game for the time being,  Deftones will be able to utilize this adversity as an influence to deliver a strong piece of musical art.

And although those songs will see the light of day at some point

I hope so.

I can't believe it. It's been like two years that we're expecting Eros, we could even see the pic of the album on their website some time ago, we were all expecting this album and only this one, and now, it is cancelled. Fuck. Fuckity fuck.
