EROS - no leak topic

[sober_sane]

or about the leak

Aren't we allowed even to talk about it? Why does this thread even exist then?

[RikshawHoward]

I meant specifically the spreadsheet that has popped up a few times, including on a website. Talk about it if you want, I don't care.

It's like this everywhere right now. Album finally leaks and instead of discussing the material everyone is trying to deduce how it leaked or arguing the ethics of listening vs not listening.

SL 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.

[Numina]

Well the drama accounts are brand new ones so..

[iiimagica]

stop the fighting start the music

briana, candy, and margot are prob some of my fave songs theyve ever done tbh!

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]

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.

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.

Dude 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)

Deathblow+Xerces=Brenda

Intro reminds me very much of 11/11 as well

Well 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

It's not about charity, it's about doing the right thing. They clearly do not want this material out and everyone knows it. What sort of a fan would spit in the face of that, especially knowing the circumstances around the album?

chino doesn't want the material out, and i respect that given the circumstances. however, i wouldn't say that's true of every member. i haven't and will likely never listen to eros. i think it's a damn shame how it made it to the internet and i got a bad vibe from that guy the second i noticed him on here.

if the forum decides on a charity to donate to in cheng's name, i'd happily donate. like B_S_79 said,

Donating to a charity and sending money to the band are two completely different fucking things.

The Reddit group didn't take kindly to my suggestion. I donated to UC Davis Children's Hospital in the name of the band and Chi..  the same charity the band ran a charity drive for back during Ohms. "Adopt a Dot" from the Ohms album cover.

Got accused of virtue signaling and was told to do my research before donating and I was an idiot for choosing the children's hospital.

TLDR fuck Reddit. lol. Sticking to SL from here on out.

[RikshawHoward]

Sounds like reddit.

[KnifePrty@tn]

Ofc that place would not be receptive I imagine the House of (F)Lies server would be no different. I loathe that place more than Reddit! Yet everyone is quick to virtue signal while accusing you of the same. Hypocrisy oozes there. Here you are offering a very noble compromise for middle ground on the morality side. Such a damn shame man. Its cool. Plenty of people here will throw down whether they listen to Eros or not just 'cause its the thing to do to rectify considering our hands are tied in this situation 'irregardless!' XD I prefer this place too I wish I would have came sooner
One Love! RIP Chi <3
PS I hope you do not mind I have officially nicknamed you BS

[myownsummer]

who is Luke in Brianna?

[mandalay]

[47F]

Apparently, the original lossless wav files from the album leaked.

Briana is actually dated January 11th, 2009 instead of September 29th, 2008.

Instrumental and acapella for Trempest also leaked.

Looks like the tracker is down.. tried to PM you but your box is full.. any info on these files?

Oh, he made an entirely new thread for the tracker, czech it out! https://www.sharinglungs.com/index.php?topic=22170.0

That Acapella Trempest is amazing

Brianna it is soooooo gooooood lossless! However, I do agree with others that have said Diamond would have been an amazing closer and I am heavily considering changing the track order to reflect it

"Kiss your bride just in case you have to go" <3

Yesssss!!!! I am surprised this was not circulating yet

Not this time bebo.

Oh my I did indeed fall for that XD
