Retirement... Maybe. But Deftones were never some garage band anomaly that suddenly "made it" to Warner. They've been in the major-label ecosystem since the mid-90s through Maverick, which operated under Warner Music Group. This isn't an indie band crossing over, it's a legacy act continuing within the same corporate structure. Big budgets, global distribution, MTV era push, they were industry-backed long before TikTok rediscovered them. Their 2003 self-titled album is even listed among the 13 most expensive albums ever recorded, showing how much label capital was already behind them.

What changed now isn't the system around them, it's the royalties. The TikTok driven surge simply raised the market value of something that was already heavily institutionalized, at a moment when the catalog itself was surging in popularity. In a market where music assets can trade at 12–18× multiples, selling the royalty stream now just locks in that peak demand.

For the band, it turns decades of streaming era volatility, even from chaff albums like Private Music, into immediate liquidity. The band locks in the lump sum. In the end, this isn't about legacy, it's about converting decades of royalties into cash today.

sounds very much like them, can anyone confirm or is it just another person saying another song from another band is eros material? 😑

Nope it's definitely not from Eros. It's not AI either. It was played by Chino on Mixlr circa 2023. People initially thought it was gonna be on their next album (PM) but obviously that didn't end up being the case. You can tell from the vocals that it's post-2020 Deftones and not something from the late 2000s. Proof: https://youtube.com/shorts/ntJ6ROb6DUE?si=qzacLJeyV5ODND-h

Do you think someone has a longer rip from this song?

sounds an awful lot like come to dolly

Yah, you're really wise aren't you...I'll just wait here patiently for a hint of reasoning to emerge.

This beehive dude is really fucking stupid lmfao

Sounds good.  I only came here to listen to music and talk about music. 

I'm going to back away slowly now.  Please consider me no longer part of conversation.

The user "Sharinglungs" started this thread, by posting the video of the previously unreleased Deftones song, and wrote "Merry XMAS you freaks!".

I was not paying much attention to user names, and just jumped to the conclusion that "Sharinglungs" is the same person that uploaded the video to Youtube. That is the only reason I directed that question at "Sharinglungs" here in the thread.

Now that I look at the video again, I see that it was uploaded by a user named "DeftonesLiveConcerts" on Youtube.

"Sharinglungs" wrote in this thread: "That ain't me my dude. I just posted the video."

To @B33HIV3...

I have no idea who the users "Sharinglungs" or "DeftonesLiveConcerts" are in "real life"...  But I believe "Sharinglungs" when they say "That ain't me my dude". 

I saw a few sentences somewhere else online recently, where a woman has accused a user associated with the "DeftonesLiveConcerts" account of sending inappropriate messages.  From the very small amount of screenshots that I saw, I agree that there is good reason to shame the offender... just make sure you shame the correct person.   

From my side, everything is clear. I brought you into the conversation simply to clarify my point of view based on the comments I saw.

If you didn't understand why I mentioned you, let me explain again.

It is now clear that SharingLungs shared the video from DeftonesLiveConcerts. There's no confusion about that.

However, your comment suggested that SharingLungs and DeftonesLiveConcerts were the same person.

I went onto Reddit and saw people discussing DeftonesLiveConcerts. Then I came here and saw in this thread that you were referring to DeftonesLiveConcerts as if it were SharingLungs.

Before judging SharingLungs or jumping to conclusions, I decided to message him directly and said:

"Yah, SharingLungs, just so you know, there's a Reddit thread mentioning you. People are talking about some concerning behavior allegedly involving a 17-year-old  it might be a good idea to clarify things."

He replied:

"That ain't me, my dude. I just posted the video."

I understood that to mean he only posted the video on YouTube and was not the person managing the account that allegedly sent those DMs.

And that's where the inconsistency lies. DeftonesLiveConcerts (the 'PDF') claims that he hired someone to manage the account. That's the major contradiction here.

It's actually quite simple.

Please don't pull me into this argument... I think we are probably all just confused.  Maybe I can help clear things up and deescalate.

It is very different from the other version that has been floating around online for decades.  It like it!

I read through some of the comments under the Youtube video.  I understand if you promised not to share the rest of the recordings.  But can you at least give us a track list of what other songs were done in this session?  I won't hold my breath for the band to ever release it officially.  But it would give us something to hope for maybe.

And this dude is talking to him like he owns the yt page.
