Eros

[jaypayton]

it will never be released...

[DeftonesNZ]

it will never be released...

Why not? the band has never said it wouldn't be released they've always just said it would be when the times is right , basically they said they were hoping they could release when Chi was conscious again.

If anything he probably had the bob ezrin demos or was just  talking bull shit.

Probably a dumb question. But was Eros actually completed? Like mastered and mixed? Or did they leave it in the demo phase?

[Inkblades]

All the instrumental parts are finished, but Chino was only about halfway through the vocals when Chi had the accident.

[Nail]

So if they released it would he finish the vocals or would it just be "as is"?

[Teknoman]

I think it would be released "as is" because Deftones have said that their records are some kind of "time stamp" and thats one of the reasons every record sounds different and i dont think that Chino will be able to go back to that emotinal space/state and write/sing lyrics that matches "Eros' sound"... but who knows really.

I just hope that they release everything and not just the finished songs with vocals.

[N0S3BLEED976]

I know we'll only get something lame. I can feel it. Worst thing to me would be the band only releasing a handful of songs that "still fit their today's standpoint as a band", or even worse, rerecording the album and adjusting and tweaking it to their current style. I mean, I like KNY, but I would like Eros to be just as they used to describe it: dark, complex and heavy. Imagine an originally dark and moody song with new, "Entombed-like" vocals...

[deftoolsys07]

They will definitely not do any re-recording. I know I wouldn't. However, I think that when/if they decide to release something, it might only be one or two tracks that they feel are the best or most complete or best represent the rest of the album. Then after an outcry from the fans saying they want the whole thing perhaps even later they'd release it as is. But who knows.

[Inkblades]

I'm assuming Chino had written vocals to all the songs and they rehearsed them as a full band. Eros had been in development since May 2007, so it was worked on for a good year and a half. It might sound odd and disconnected if one half of Eros had 08-styled vocals, and the other half had Chino's newer singing style. However, it's Chino, so I think he could pull it off. I think.

[pinkmaggit69]

Can they finally release Eros, and give the profits to Chi's family?

[New Murderer]

Can we get a petition going or something? Haha... Was going through all the old clips again just now and I'm so interested to hear it more than ever.

Xo is definetively an S/T outtake, if i'm not wrong it was to be released on the bloody cape single (which never came out)

Absolutely correct.
