I remember Chino talked about doing an Elvis cover at some point.  I think it was maybe around the Koi No Yokan or Gore recording sessions.  But I don't remember if he said that it got recorded, or was just an idea they never followed through on.

Elvis was a hero to most, but I never cared much for his music.  But I would still be interested to hear Deftones cover an Elvis song or anything else.

I guess Deftones played an Elvis song live once.

I've never heard the original, so am not sure if this is good or bad.  ???

It was during the Gore era because I remember Chino talking about the Elvis cover and how he was liking that old timey reverb vocal effect, which you hear a lot on Gore.

Idk if they could pull off Elvis but I'm damn curious to find out! We know Chino has the range.

Any more info on the Diamond Eyes b-side? I also remember reading about it but I don't think the band has ever mentioned it and it has never really been brought up since then

And if we are talking about possible tracks for the compilation, I wonder what happened to the 2 Koi No Yokan tracks that didn't make the cut
