EROS - no leak topic

[sober_sane]

it's about doing the right thing. They clearly do not want this material out and everyone knows it

It is out, period. Nothing they can do about it, like it or not.

What sort of a fan would spit in the face of that, especially knowing the circumstances around the album?

Am I a bad guy for appreciating a pretty damn good job they did on it despite the circumstances? Should I also stop listening to SNW because Chino thinks it's a shitty album?

[RikshawHoward]

Chino intended to release SNW. He did not intend for Eros to get out, and that's very obvious.

The band is raking in MILLIONS and MILLIONS these last few years after the tik tok brigade and the beer and the clothing line and the festival etc. I doubt they need charity over a few 18 year old demos leaking lmao

You posted the same thing in Reddit. Donating to a charity and sending money to the band are two completely different fucking things.

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.

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,

It's got nothing to do with "how the internet works" The band doesn't want the album to get out. If you have it, listen to it, I don't care, but it's weird that people keep posting links to the leak, or about the leak IN THIS THREAD when it is clear the band doesn't want that. FFS it's the first post in this thread. This isn't private music leaking early, this is a personal record that has some of the last work of a dear friend who tragically passed. Goodness gracious.

I get what you are saying, but even in those interviews Abe says it needs a lot of work before it would be released officially. Clearly that work has not happened.

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.

[Vesanic]

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!

[Troa]

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.

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.

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.
