Quote from: RxQueenChaos on Jun 24, 2026, 07:59 PMDude I don't understand why you are attempting to make this so controversial? No one is twisting your arm to donate it was an amazing idea for those of us that have been following for decades and were disrupted by the news of his death not just the album. Its only natural we are going to feel a little bit of a slight to our moral compass due to the circumstances surrounding

If you dont want to donate then dont but the way you are going about stating your opinion is going to cause some problems and rub ALOT of people here the wrong way.

So no. You dont have to donate, but what you can do is take that extremely insensitive energy elsewhere my guy.

Otherwise, be prepared for the backlash. No one here will feel sorry or take your side when it comes

Unless this is rage bait... either way

No.

Not sure if you're replying to me or the other guy. I was just stating the obvious about how the internet works. Never said donating was a bad idea.

my bad dude I was trying to reply to the other guy via BS response to it I was on my phone and it was being janky XD I am so sorry (not sorry to the other guy)

Intro reminds me very much of 11/11 as well

Quote from: Numina on Jun 24, 2026, 10:44 PMWell the drama accounts are brand new ones so...

Yes my account is brand new but I have been around a while, fan since early 00's. Presence only digitally via SL discord right before PM leak, but made it a point to familiarize myself with a lot of the OGs here. I have been dying to be an active participant for a while just waiting for a good time, never in my wildest dreams imagined it would be because of Eros

Great little discord group there, some of the realest people I have ever had the luxury of meeting so I am hoping this feels the same. They actually volunteered as my security detail with random dudes until they quickly realized just because I was a female, I could handle myself

I have been raptures friend IRL 25+ years, he brought me there, I brought me here I was trying to defend the charity front for OG fans when dude was being insensitive is all. Please, don't mind me....

In fact, very happy Ves made a reappearance, been wanting to "meet" him for a while, always thought it would be a privilege to do so, sorry it was like this

Also, I had a feeling from the old studio footage that Steph was playing in Self-Titled Tuning, adding a low Eb for the 8 string.

Meaning he tuned up to standard tuning for Diamond Eyes.

Interesting choice, I wonder why he did that and didn't keep Eros tuning. That low Eb is brutal on Trempest.

Not this time bebo.

The leak happened, can't change it. These songs are now forever a part of deftones lore whether official or not, might as well listen to them now rather than later.

That said, and I know the thread said its not allowed, but here is the original cut of Trempest that was posted back in the day. There's an additional 30 second bridge on this version that's missing from the leak. Haven't seen it posted in years so figure its about time it gets shared again.

Steftone don't sound like he gives a flying fuck.

Quote from: Vesanic on Jun 24, 2026, 10:39 PMSL drama. Who'd have thought.

It's true though. Around the time I joined the board I don't think most people would have cared and would have just listened to it.

100%. It hasn't changed since I joined.

My thoughts on the music are that it could have been an incredible work for them, had the accident not happened. The songs have amazing potential and you can see them branching out to new ideas in the collection of songs yet still having the last really dark, sinister screams from Chino (and overall musically). Melanie I knew would be a banger when I first heard it live. Trempest could have been a beast of a song, I knew that when I heard the guitar riff in the Eros clips (clip 3 I believe), and my god is Diamond a fucking JAM. Those three songs would have been massive fan favorites. Destiny and Smile would have likely been singles imho.

[edit: I meant to include Briana as a track that would've made a single]

I'm late to the game, I had no idea there were instrumental versions for these.. can anyone share?

Quote from: Deftones-argentina on Jun 23, 2026, 03:51 PMjust a little heads up for those who want to hear the unreleased song lyrics; this page lets you isolate the vocals from the rest of the instruments.
