Deftones stuff that never makes it to a cd

[from_musings]

Chino said they recorded Lovers too late to be included.

yeah i've read that too. also,in an interview with abe years ago, he got asked about why lovers didn't make it. he was like "huh? lovers? ah, you mean "kevin sorbo"? (working title) he didn't even know it was named lovers after the release.

Maybe I'm conflating the reason for the name change from Lovers to Deftones with the reason for leaving the song Lovers off the album.  Perhaps they changed the name for reasons I described above, and later recorded a song which they then named Lovers as homage to the original title for the album?  Pretty sure I heard something about Chino wanting the name changed because it was too direct.

Lovers is a awesome track but it didn't fit with the track list. I wished at first that it was on there instead of Lucky You. I grew to love that song and eventually the way the whole album flowed. It was a good decision on their part. the mix isn't that good also when compared to the songs on the album.

I don't know I am with the school of thought that Lovers would fit into Self Titled beautifully. I also saw a video from the eros sessions where Abe, Stephen, and Chi are jamming to what sounds like Finger of Death. I could not really tell though if it was or not.

If Lovers were finished it would be great on S/T. Fits the mood perfectly.

I've always been bummed "Fingers Of Death" was never a song included on Saturday Night Wrist. The demo is awesome in my opinion, and that riff is such a classic heavy Deftones riff. Definitely could have swapped it out for "Mein" or something. "Bumble D" would also be cool to see a studio version of.

Didn't Chino recently say that a song that was left off of Gore cause it didn't fit in the tracklisting was his favourite song from the sessions? I don't get why they never release these songs at all. I wish they'd do a new B-sides collection. But seems like they are intent on looking forward and not keen on putting out B-sides anymore. KNY was the first album where there was no b-sides or acoustic versions, covers etc.

that's why that is the poorest album of all, i was very into the idea of listening an elvis or a earth wind and fire cover.
