Cigarettes was no more… or was it? A band on Billie Joe Armstrong’s record label called The Network released an album called Money Money 2020 in 2003. The band talked with the producer and decided that it wasn’t their best work and they started from scratch and recorded American Idiot which completely revitalized their career. They recorded about twenty or so songs… and then the master tapes were stolen. Cigarettes and Valentines was going to be Green Day’s follow up to 2000’s Warning. This sits lower on the list just because this may have been released… maybe. At this point the band has said they will release the album at some point as a tribute to their late friend but for now there are these performances of the song “Melanie” (the working title). Not wanting to work on the album without their friend, the Deftones recorded another album (Diamond Eyes) with (at the time) fill in bassist Sergio Vega. Unfortunately in the midst of this, bassist Chi Cheng was in a car accident that left him in a coma and hospital ridden until his death earlier this year.
DEFTONES EROS DALLAS PATCH
Their previous two albums had been made with a lot of turmoil amongst band members and they had begun to patch up differences and record as a band again. Originally aiming for a 2008 release, Eros was supposed to be the album where the Deftones came back together. Some of the songs did make it on to Pinkerton (the album that replaced SFTBH) but they were apparently re-worked.
Then, Rivers Cuomo went to Harvard and his focus changed and the space opera was dropped. An album where everything flowed into one another. The follow up to The Blue album was supposed to be kind of a space opera. Would this have done it? I’m not so sure but it certainly was different. Keep in mind, this would have been around 1992, before The Prodigy brought a heavier electronic sound to the mainstream public. The follow up (The Black Room) was said to be a lot heavier and contained collaborations with grindcore band Extreme Noise Terror. The KLF were kind of a techno or acid house group that had a pretty solid album hit with their album, The White Room.
DEFTONES EROS DALLAS FULL
Chunks of this album has been seen since as re-titled songs, b-sides to singles from Heathen, and an internet leak of the full album but we have yet to see an official version of it.Īn album that never happened but if it had, may have changed some things. The process worked so well that it lead directly to Bowie recording the Heathen album. Bowie worked on and recorded an album called Toy in 2001. Not sure what the story is here and to be fair, unreleased may be stretching it a little.
DEFTONES EROS DALLAS ARCHIVE
So… it makes you wonder what Homegrown would have done? It’s never been released in it’s entirety, officially or bootleg and supposedly it’s being reconstructed for Neil’s second archive box set. It’s an album that has influenced a huge amount of today’s artists like Dallas Green’s City and Colour. The other album, Tonight’s The Night, was a stronger album and it was released instead. He played them both at a party for some friends and decided that Homegrown was a bit of a downer. The story goes that Neil had recorded two albums. … okay so one classic rock artist but I have my reasons. but it’s kind of nice to think about, isn’t it? I’m not a lawyer but if it did exist, this would not be material owned by Nirvana and with all her legal and money woes, Courtney would have released it or at the very least out right stated that it existed….
The truth however is, I don’t think it’s real. For the alternative generation, this would be a great find. During my internet hunt for information on the albums on this list, the suggestion that there is a Cobain solo album out there somewhere. Now, this is at number 10 just due to the fact that I don’t think it exists. Check it out, the Top Ten Unreleased Albums In New Rock! I tried to stay fairly modern with this list so no Beatles or Stones or Beach Boys (only one classic rocker is included this time) but I think there’s a lot of cool stories in here. You know how we’ve gotten new Tupac albums for years after he died? Well I think it’s a very safe bet that my great grandkids will be hearing never released Prince material. I can’t say it officially but in terms of unreleased material, Prince has to lead the pack in volume. In fact I was worried I was going to have to make every even numbered entry a Prince reference. When I first came up with the idea for this list, I was worried there might not be enough “unreleased” albums to make a list of ten.
