Deftones - Smile (Eros)

[Diplo]

I don't see why everyone is so surprised about the song being removed, it was obviously going to happen. I mean yeah it sucks, but when bands belong to a label, it's supposed to mean something. The artist doesn't have the publishing rights, that's why they sign with a label, right? So they can publish and promote it in an effective manner, and if they actually never do it, it doesn't give the artist any more right to publish, no matter if the bassist is dead.

unfortunately, it's true...at least almost everyone downloaded the song

Even if the album is not finish ?
I understand the law but I don't get the fact that a man who created a song can't do whatever he wants.
I hope the views and the the rip will show that a lot of people still want this album.

Anyone knows what deal Deftones signed with Warner Bros? I mean how much albums to they still have to make for Warner Bros?

It'd be interesting to know what would happen if the deal between the band and the record company would end and wouldn't be renewed? Which side would get rights for Eros - Deftones or Warner?

[black coffee]

Warner Bros owns the rights to all the Eros material, thereby Chino cannot just offer a song for free. To do with the music what he wants, he'd need to buy himself out of the contract with Warner Bros, and that would be very costly.

what a nice treat/tribute. nice chino.

now it is obviously unmastered. so i can see the amount of work that this will take for a finished product.

the guitar lead seems pretty sloppy, am i the only one who think its chino's performance? i know it seems counterintuitive, but...

I was curious to this as well. I would think they would be close to being done with the deal. Hopefully WB would let them keep Eros so they could do what they want with it. I know when thrice was let out of their contract with a major the label let them keep alchemy index, but I think because it wasn't what the label wanted.

I wonder that too, I heard their own style but I will go for Stephen. Also there is two guitars so I don't know. Any guitarists here ?

I wonder if they'll be willing to perform it live during their next shows..

[luisch]

it's perfect old-school deftones.  only chino could make the phrase "smile" work and sound sinister

Yeah I think there's steph playing low power chords aswell as chino playing the high bits.

It wouldn't fit the mood of the song though, which seems romantic and intimate to me.

[shine down unshy]

"do you feel wet?"

Chino isn't even trying to be subtle anymore.

[fuzzylogics]

They did say that Chi played guitar on one of the Eros songs. Might explain the rather sloppy (non-Steph) style.

Thinking out-loud.

Nice pic, where it comes from ?

[luisch]

From the 2008 Deftones Myspace background, I think this will be part of the artwork (have two or three more pics of these time but need to search more patiently in my files) of EROS

[defburn]
