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

throw on 'the boys republic' on vol.2


Who Said

"Someone close to the band" could mean a lot of things, but until there's something official, I'll keep my expectations high, though. We've heard too many "insider" stories over the years that never actually happened.

Someone on reddit was asking not long ago about it. apparently it was called "Coby". he was asking if there was any more news about it and was asking if it was going to be published. another person responded and said they played it once during a soundcheck without any vocals, but unfortunately nobody ever recorded it.

At the moment, they seem to be just dropping news, like new tours etc, so if there is any truth the this, we may get teasers or something soon

It would be cool if they just dropped it out of nowhere, and given the career revival they are having at the moment, it would be a cool idea
