*Facepalm* how many years do we need to wait.... Really, Deftones, really?

The album seems to be The Holy Grail in Deftones catalogue.I cant say Im not intrigued. Love Melanie and demo bits. Ive spoken to Shaun Lopez after FAR reunion London ULU gig in 2008 and he said that album is basically done. We talked about Chi and stuff, but he also said that after that short UK FAR tour , he (Slopez) gonna record vocals with Chino... So music was done. Dont think Chino recorded any vocals as they scrapped the album altogether soon after...

No the vocals on some songs we're done, I believe they were close to half-way with the vocals from all the information I've head here in interviews. I can't find them now though.

This is something terry said about the record. He said nothing really, but I thought I'd share anyway

As the interview ended, and being that Deftones are a large part of some peoples discography we had the opportunity to ask about the sidelined Eros record. Date was humble in his response saying,"I think because of the circumstances, it is the band's record. It is there place to make any statement about the record. Chi is a very good friend and always has been and I can only hope that he wakes up and we can see him playing bass again."(Deftones bassist Chi Cheng was involved in a terrible car accident in the latter part of 2008 that has left him in a semi-conscious state).

Have not said much about this record... But could this be released in like a year now since Chi passed? Would be a great thing to hear his work on this one.....

pinata89 · Apr 16, 2013, 09:01 PM

Thank God, you broke the ice! I wanted to post something about a potential Eros release on this thread earlier today, but felt it would seem too selfish or greedy--given the obvious situation at hand.

I, however, got to thinking a lot about this album (moreso than usual) and, as much as I've wanted this personally and as a fan, think it would be a great tribute to Chi and his legacy to release this album and pay homage to his impact on the band as a whole.

Call it an excuse, if you must. But just an idea I had.

Inkblades · Apr 16, 2013, 09:19 PM

I think Eros will be released in the next year or two for sure. It sucks that it will finally be released due to such sad circumstances, but, as pinata89 said, it will also be a great tribute to Dai and his legacy.

If they don't release it, I think that would almost be in bad taste. This album has twice as much importance now....

DeftonesNZ · Apr 17, 2013, 03:00 AM

I think it would be a fitting tribute to him, reading those blog posts from the weeks before the accident he seemed really excited to show the fans the music he sounded really proud of what they had made, Also his family have mentioned they plan on doing something to carry on his name like a charity for brain trauma or seatbelt awareness this could be a great opportunity to inject some money into a worthy cause that also honours his memory, they could have a portion of album sales go to Chi's charity and with all the people that would buy the album it would be enough to really help some people especially since I doubt many people would feel ok about pirating it.

ANattyRat · Apr 17, 2013, 03:46 AM

It'd be a good idea to release it, the last music Chi worked on, and everyone has wanted to hear it for ages. But do you think they will? It seems far-fetched to think they'll ever release it, just because it's become this hidden, locked-away thing that everyone wants. Hopefully they will, though, and hopefully people will look at it with the respect it deserves.

DeftonesNZ · Apr 17, 2013, 04:07 AM

Yeah I think they've always intended to release it but if possible they wanted Chi to be conscious for it but now that options gone I can see them doing it as a tribute to Chi instead I still don't think it'll be soon maybe in a year or two, if they do it they'll want it to be done right.

nicklav · Apr 17, 2013, 05:12 AM

I would buy this album in every format if they released it. I do that anyways for Deftones records, so maybe I'll have to do it twice over for this.

N0S3BLEED976 · Apr 17, 2013, 07:00 AM

I think they could charge whatever they want for it, fans would buy it anyway. At least I'd do so.
Hopefully they won't sell it through their website only. I have no credit card or paypal and do not plan to get them in the future.

DeftonesNZ · Apr 17, 2013, 07:27 AM

Yeah neither do I plus I like to have a physical copy anyway especially if the price is the same. Would be sweet if they made it like a special edition Chi memorial album and charged a bit more than usual but had it in really nice packaging with a decent booklet with stories about Chi with photo's, maybe with a t-shirt or something aswell.

I have a feeling we will never hear it.

It reckon it will be too hard for them. Just what i think anyway.

Trempest was a tentative Eros title. The band has addressed that it's a different song from Tempest.

That'd be a great idea, someone could probably suggest that to the band (in the future, not any time soon) if they were close enough.
