Team Sleep wiki

I know this was fairly common knowledge around the boards, but I didn't really consider it was known outside of it. I found this quote in the Team Sleep wiki page

A full album's worth of material was finished between 2002–2003, but Moreno was reportedly angered after Team Sleep songs were circulated on the internet, mostly by members of the Deftones' own official message board

Heh.

A facebook friend mentioned Deftones and I'm finally listening to them (and Team Sleep) after a long time of just not listening to much music in general. Feels nice.

The problem was that we were also dicks about it, and refused to stop or apologize.

I disagree with his opinion on file sharing, but it is his work, and he has the right to be protective of it.

If I could go back, I would probably have tried to do it differently, so that they didn't disown us.

we were so excited to have new awesome music that we didn't care who got pissed off, even if it was Chino. At least that's how I saw it.

Disowned is the perfect word. I regret that. Having the band members (Was it only Chi?) chat with us was very very cool. And the boards getting the boot sucked too.

crook was around, maybe frank too

oh that's right

Which is kind of funny, considering that the band planted binaural brainwave entrainments into the mixes of both versions of the leaked album, which by all accounts, should have literally made us feel more than happy enough to buy the album anyway after the first few listens.

I paid money for white pony before I was ever on the message board.

It and mislabeled songs on napster are why I came.

The team sleep stuff never got me.

Their message board seemed to be nothing but dumb attractive women who were turned on by team sleeps music and ready to put out.

The whole thing was kind of sticky and smelled like a fishing dock.

It wasn't a very interesting place

as opposed to this kick ass party of a message board!

I miss the TS board and all those dumb, attractive women, ready to put out.

Kind of.

Hell yeah, fuck yeah, brother!! Let's have another shot, motherfucker!

Didn't the TS board stay up for like a year after the defboard died? I think even they forgot about it. Towards the end no one posted on it.
