Deftones won’t release Eros
The Deftones have just released an announcement, via their Myspace blog, that they will not be releasing their new album Eros.
The band, whose bassist Chi Cheng is still in the hospital in a semi-conscious state, have said that the album “is the best record we’ve ever written.” And even though throughout the post they refer to Chi and his bass parts on the album, they say that his being in the hospital has nothing to do with the album not being released.
“As we neared completion on Eros, we realized that this record doesn’t best encompass and represent who we are currently as people and as musicians. And although those songs will see the light of day at some point, we collectively made the decision that we needed to take a new approach, and with Chi’s condition heavy on our minds while doing so. We needed to return to the studio to do what we felt was right artistically. Our inspiration and unity as a band is stronger than it has ever been before and we needed to channel that energy into our music, and deliver to our fans what you rightly deserve: the best Deftones record that we can make.”
Deftones have a few live dates this summer which you can see right here. If you want to keep tabs on Chi Cheng and donate to a fund started for him, you can go to OneLoveForChi.com and do your part.

Great article, around 99% of the articles on Google were clearly written by a foreigner. Question: do u think sites such as how to roll a joint should get ranked by google for kids under 18?
