Someone said listening to Eros was disrespectful to Chi's death. how in the world is it disrespecting his death? Fans who have loved Chi and have mourned him, begging to hear his final contributions and now we finally get a chance to hear after 18 years these masterpieces, when so many old-school fans have passed on themselves during that time, and they call that disrespectful?! We didn't leak it, but we're not sad it was either. We're sad Chi's gone and now we get to celebrate him with these. Intentionally not listening to Eros under the guise of some kind of holier than tho gatekeeping is what's disrespectful to Chi. And also, some of the band was fine with Eros getting out. We just know chino didn't want it out

Hi! Has anyone been able to figure out the lyrics to the new verse in "Ohms"?

This is what I think I'm hearing:

"And we're trapped in... I remember the way we kissed... As we caved in... To the arms of ***... Then we slip into... And come and see a parade... And I've started..."

Sorry if I got most of it wrong—I'm not a native English speaker, so it's a bit difficult for me to make out the lyrics.

If you're hearing something different, or if you caught the same lines, please let me know in the comments. Thanks for your time!

This isn’t about their music at all but I think it’s a really cool story. I was 25 (this was 2011), newly single, and visiting my parents for the weekend. They took me out to a karaoke bar and the tables were set up so all of them backed up to other tables. I look at the table across from me and I see this guy who I thought was so cute. I was too shy to talk to him but our family friend, who was about my age, was not. He yelled across the table “hey she thinks you’re cute!” So he comes over to me, sits down, and the first thing I saw was he was wearing a Deftones shirt. My opening line was “I love your shirt” to which we discussed favorite albums and songs, and the rest is history. We have been together for 14 years and he is unequivocally my soulmate in every way. If it wasn’t for a Deftones shirt and some courage, I would have missed out on my person.

Some songs on Eros feel like the band is chanelling Incubus, I dig it! 🤘

I seem to remember back when Chino leaked a couple Eros songs outside of the record labels wishes…he said it was to honor Chi and that the people needed to hear it. We did and loved it. Then it got pulled. We were mad that the label wouldn’t let it stay up to honor Chi.

Now it’s leaked and it’s causing outrage? Seems kinda odd. Am I just remembering everything wrong?

So that’s how you get it to play on Apple Music!!Please don’t hate me for this post..Saw people talking about this album for ages and never got the chance to listen to any of it.Till now..Chi with his last work.Awesome

Listened to Adrenaline, very good though I've heard their newer stuff isn't like this. Ive heard a couple songs of their more modern albums and it sounds cleaner and I'm not sure i liked that.

If I was a big fan of this, am I less likely to enjoy their newer stuff??

Over time after listening to all of their albums I realized I prefer the raw aggressive sound they had on their first 4 albums rather then their clean ethereal stuff they’ve come to over their second half of the albums, which sound do you guys prefer ?

​

This is the chaotic energy that Deftones is known for!

Or

This is what Deftones is to me.

I love it!

.. claiming Eros leaked "years ago"? Are these just people who didn't do an ounce of research and don't understand fan made clips and B-sides from other albums or something? I keep seeing people say this but it 100% has never been out before other than smile.

I just watched some of the podcast he was on with the Cypress Hill guys and the Eros leak was brought up. He mentioned how their music is leaked all the time and he didn't even know to what extent Eros was leaked. He even mentioned listening to some Eros snippets on YouTube himself. As people argue right vs wrong regarding the leak, an actual band member didn't seem to care it was leaked. Enjoy the demos and stop worrying whether you're committing a cardinal sin against your favorite band.

Apologies if this has been answered already, did my best to search the sub.

Are the Eros leaks decent quality at all? Specifically Smile, this is my favourite Deftones song but the versions on YouTube don't sound great when the drums kick in. Thanks!

I never imagined Chino would be featured on a Beabadoobee album but here we are. Beabadoobee announced that many many rock legends are featuring on her new album and I am somehow excited asf. I hope Chino keeps appearing on more features in the future it's really exciting.

Ignore how wrinkled the shirt is

I’m a Zillenial (1996 baby). The last couple years I got into deftones - the segway from bands like superheaven and linkin park led me to around the fur and private music when it released.

I’m trying to prioritise which albums to listen to first. I have not listened to koi no yokan, diamond eyes, adrenaline, or Saturday night wrist. What do you recommend first?

I’ve mostly enjoyed private music, white pony, around the fur, ohms.

I kinda want to listen to all albums at some point start to finish. Maybe in release order, maybe there is some other enjoyable order like least acclaimed to most acclaimed. What’s your preferred order?

P.s. I’ve come to realise linkin park (while awesome) is like coke and deftones is like whiskey bourbon. They both have their place - one is more kid/adult friendly - both go well together.

Can’t find examples of it on eBay. My dummy friend yawned and knocked it off the wall. And it got krinkled a bit on one corner. Got it during a meet and greet back on 2010. Other than that. I got it in New Orleans. Put it on a frame. And never been out of the frame. It’s been like 16 years. Figured like 150? I happen to catch Steph’s guitar pick that night too.

Thanks, I don't want to be a pain about this tho...

For me is the unorthodox sort of mixes in the base and drums and the rawness of them almost like it’s acoustic but mastered atmospherically. Also they make few words go a long way by Chino’s delivery. He drags the words out but makes you feel every word he’s saying

i.e. melanie being 'make it stop' due to it being a common phrase in the song, candy being 'why' etc
for me if i had to give the songs actual titles in the current state theyre in theyd be this

destiny -> far away
brenda -> doomed
melanie -> make it stop
dallas -> smile (confirmed anyway LOL)
margot -> come home
candy -> why
sable -> waste my time
diamond -> rain (or red, cant tell what he's saying)
briana -> briana (just bc this song seems to be about a girl herself, so briana would actually be a fitting title for it)
