Rocket Skates

Roller Derby

cool

This is a new one right? These aren't tracks off of Eros are they?

New one. I feel like Eros is something that won't be seen for a very long time, if ever.

Yeah, I seriously doubt they'd finish what Chi was originally a part of without him. I'm thinking that maybe once he's out of a coma, demos from the Eros sessions will be included in some box set thing or something.

As an album, Eros will probably never be released. A couple of the songs might be reworked for new albums, or included as bonus tracks or something but I don't think anyone will ever see the whole album

Yeah, I agree completely Dev. I mean let's be honest, what are they gonna do, just completely re-visit ideas they had years ago and try to get back into a mindset they were in before they lost a band member? Thing will probably never see the light of day in it's full form, and even if by the slightest chance it did end up getting completed, it would never be like what they originally intended when they first started making it.

Roller Derby was boring

Rosemary was really fucking good

Sounds fine

album of the year its already a given

'Rosemary' could be an Eros track for all we know. Weren't all the songs meant to be named after strippers or something?

needs a name needs a pie

I thought Eros was completed except for Chino's parts? So it could be released later. Maybe unlikely, but still possible.

Agreed that Roller Derby was so-so but Rosemary ruled

Okay, Rosemary was indeed badass.

@Deviant That could very well be a possibility, idk how stripper-ish does Rosemary sound? haha.

@breakingthefragile

If I remember correctly Eros was very close to completion, it was already being mixed. But yeah who knows if it'll ever see the light of day.

Gonna give those tracks a miss for the fresh first listen when the album drops, excited though

I thought Roller Derby was better tbh. Whether Rosemary will work or not depends entirely on the production job. If its like Diamond Eyes again Rosemary will sound shit on record, it needs more of the self titled sound

Band can do no wrong. Album of the year for sure

noice

dear riffoclock, please foad

omg

Dude...

"@Deviant That could very well be a possibility, idk how stripper-ish does Rosemary sound? haha."

That's like asking how 'The Wall-ish' In The Flesh sounds

Awesome

Cool, really enjoyed the track Chino did for The Raid: Redemption's OST.

"dear riffoclock, please foad"

yes please.

both songs rule. do want moreeee

Faith in music: Restored

OK, I'm not mr. Deftones-expert but they sound the same on every album. Maybe it's because of their unique style, but I can't find many differences between White Pony, Diamond Eyes and this.

Rosemary fucking ruuuuuules. Also can't wait to hear Palms. Chino could be the most consistent man in music.

Should be interesting. Rosemary is definitely the strongest of the two.

OK, I'm not mr. Deftones-expert but they sound the same on every album. Maybe it's because of their unique style, but I can't find many differences between White Pony, Diamond Eyes and this.

Nobody give this guy any attention.

too late, you just did.

Yeah, I think hearing Eros is about as likely as a new CTTS album.

except for that ctts's new album is done and in the final stages of mixing.

"

^ LOL try listening. not just hearing. you foolosh.. foolish mortal.

except for that ctts's new album is done and in the final stages of mixing.

Or so they say. The final stages of an album are usually the longest. IIRC, wasn't it meant to be released last November?

Also, both songs fucking rule. Especially Rosemary.

Yeah, I think hearing Eros is about as likely as a new CTTS album.

Holding onto Eros... I'm not sure it's a good energy to hold onto considering the factors around it. Let it go... Bring it out and let him come back to something fresh and more genuine..


And what the shuck, I need an iTunes account to hear Crosses' remix of "Dragula"?

I wan't too hot on what I heard from Roller Derby. Rosemary sounded wicked though(I think). But... who can really tell from from low quality live videos?

This has been stated numerous times before, but the smartest thing to do with Eros is, release it and donate a large portion of the profits to "OneLoveForChi".

Hold on... let me wipe the spooge off of this article so I can read it.

Roller Derby seemed to have that "Saturday Night Wrist" sound, which kinda turned me off cuz that album was meh.

understanding that it's live and perhaps they are not perfected:
I love Roller Derby 4/5 this song makes me excited for the new album.
Rosemary, not so much 3/5 on the older albums this would have been the standalone track that gave you
a break from all the hard shit. In perspective and as a part of the album I might like it more.

Omni, you're a terrible music-er

"OK, I'm not mr. Deftones-expert but they sound the same on every album. Maybe it's because of their unique style, but I can't find many differences between White Pony, Diamond Eyes and this.

well played

GOD DAMNIT WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS BEFORE I GOT TO WORK

"Omni, you're a terrible music-er"

I might skull fuck you and cum in your ear... it could help you recognize really good Deftones Vs.
less-good Deftones. You seem to have them backwards most of the time.

"GOD DAMNIT WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS BEFORE I GOT TO WORK"


Was waiting for this

"it could help you recognize really good Deftones Vs.
less-good Deftones. You seem to have them backwards most of the time. "

You're probably the kind of guy who thought Diamond Eyes was a great album, too.


What a sucker.

Are you on crack? SNW is brilliant.

CHI!?

What's with all the stupid itt

Rosemary has the SNW sound IMO. Roller Derby on record will probably sound like something off Diamond Eyes.

The Self Titled and Saturday Night Wrist is half Deftone caliber tunes and half passable material.

Nobody give this guy any attention.

SNW is pretty close to their best..............

"Rosemary has the SNW sound IMO. Roller Derby on record will probably sound like something off Diamond Eyes."

This I agree with


"The Self Titled and Saturday Night Wrist is half Deftone caliber tunes and half passable material. "


For this, I want to kill you

"Wait, Diamond Eyes was a great album. What the hell, Brandon?"

It was pretty average for deftones standards

white pony >diamond eyes >around the fur >snw >deftones >adrenaline is what the overall ratings are saying and I tend to agree

plz come to pittsburgh deftones my body needs you

^ agreed

this version of roller derby sounds better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An1D8BDJ_AA

The camera is closer to Stephen, you can hear that guitar sound better, that beginning riff is tasty
as hell.

good songs

Releasing Eros will take away our reason to be intrigued!

They couldn't ever do that!

Riff needs to make a trip to South Florida.

I'll pick him up and drop him off in Overtown with a sign that says "Haitian Go Home"

See how well he does there.

riff is right though

nah he's not, really

Roller Derby is pretty bad imo

i haven't heard it yet but i'm like 100% positive that you are wrong

The song structure is just boring.

Love the other one, though

so is it like Rocket Skates pt II?

i found that song's structure boring, even though overall it was still fairly enjoyable (like 3/5)

Not exactly.

It just seems like the transitions from aggression to melody are sloppy/lazy

The riff seems like it could be a leftover from Diamond Eyes

I just don't like it

It's supposed to be chaotic dude. That's the whole point of the song, if it were any smoother i don't know if i'll like it, i hate overproduced stuff. then again though, these are just live versions, and we all know Chino in the studio is way better.

There is a wicked pterodactyl scream halfway through Roller Derby.

Roller Derby isn't fantastic, but it's nowhere near bad.

yea it sounded pretty good to me


kind of a standard heavy deftones song but that's cool

man oh man i feel like rosemary was written for the deftones fanboy that lives inside of me, so good.

You can sound chaotic without sounding lazy

first thought was rosemary was directly lifted from eros

Haha pterodactyl scream ftw

chino such a beast

It just seems like the transitions from aggression to melody are sloppy/lazy

"Roller Derby" sounds awesome. Raw and intense like their early material.

Excellent as usual

Eros is the golden goose, everyone wants to own it no one can get their hands on it.


Songs are nice but not fully enjoyable for me because of the sound quality.

almost positive rosemary is from eros, i remember reading it as one of the tentative titles.

if so, what a shame, i would like to see that album released in its entirety someday, not picked apart.
