[edit] Re: Thoughts on Norma Jean's label...

My reason for removing Tooth & Nail Records is because even though Solid State is part of Tooth & Nail they are not the same thing. I do understand how it would fit there and I did think before removing it and I am sorry about. Even thought they are owned by the same people, I see Tooth & Nail as a different label because they sign different types of artist than Solid State does.

[edit] -ZAN- (残 -ZAN-)

I've reverted your last edit of -ZAN- (残 -ZAN-) as it added the entire lyrics for the song, which is a breach of copyright unless there is verified permission from the copyright holder. I didn't revert your first edit though, because that was fine. While it's good to be bold in editing Wikipedia, remember copyright issues; quoting a single line might count as fair use, but quoting the entire lyrics doesn't. Paddles TC 12:34, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mr.NEWSMAN in Dir en grey discography

Mr.NEWSMAN is written countless times on all CDs and in all Booklets as "Mr.NEWSMAN". I have all of their merchandise, and it is always written this way. If you have any scans you wold like to show me, feel free to e-mail me at notjake13@gmail.com. Also, one minor typo in a lyric booklet is no proof of a different title.

[edit] Centigrade-j link in Deg article

What exactly made the removal of this link necessary? It's not like everyone reading this article is fluent in Japanese and could never use translations for the lyrics. And as you may know as a dedicated fan (that much I can grasp from your nickname), some official translations are not all that accurate and do not come with any sort of notes about the extensive use of metaphors and wordplay. The translations on the site you unlinked do. Please reconsider this edit and maybe you could join us the article's discussion page from time to time, when there are disagreements of this kind.

Regards

[edit] Track composers

Although the composer of "Mr.NEWSMAN" is definitely Die, the CDs with live tracks now simply list it as "Dir en grey". I can provide scans (unless you already have the CD) if you'd like a reference point to the composers. I think the standard of what is explicitly written on the CD case should be used.

[edit] kisou booklet

I just checked my copy of the album and there's only one booklet with kanji only. Could there be different editions or maybe you got two albums mixed up? In any case, I removed the respective note in the article for now, I'd hate to hear about people who broke their CD case due to mixed up information.

[edit] INWARD SCREAM Page

Hey, I really like the idea of having a page for the INWARD SCREAM bootleg...but I'm not sure wether or not it should be put up. It doesn't meet the standards of some people, but I know I'd like to have it up for reference. Maybe there should be a section on the Dir en grey Dicography page for "Bootlegs". I know of several bootlegged performances that I might be able to add information on. I have a great copy of a bootleg from Shanghai back in the Asia tours in 2002. Maybe you should talk to Cyrus XIII (sorry if I numbered that inorrectley), since he or she seems to know and run (very well I might add) the disco. page.

[edit] Re: WTD. は romaji...

The official website says "HA", so we go with "HA", quite simple. I'll leave it to you to revert this. And please, don't mention me in edit summaries. I'm not some sort of internationally recognized expert on romanization of Japanese or Dir en grey, just another contributor. Have a nice day - Cyrus XIII 06:27, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Toshiya's ESP Bass(es)...

Well, like you said, you don't know for sure wether these instruments were ESP made or not. So pretty much anything you could write about these phantom bass guitars in an article would be pretty speculative. And please ask yourself, is this really so important? I recently had to remove nearly all the biographical information on these people because there where absolutely no sources given to back that up. How about rather digging up some well sourced information, which is worthwhile not just for hardcore fans of the band? Regards - Cyrus XIII 08:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unearth

Unearth is a metalcore band. They are not borderline thrash/post-thrash like Lamb of God, nor do they exemplify any deathcore or melodic death metal traits. Please, stop adding any genres such as "thrash metal" or "melodic death metal." Unearth is a band that is firmly rooted in the metalcore genre. Here is the Encyclopaedia Metallum link [1]

If you feel adding "Melodic metalcore" is more accurate, that is fine. --Ryouga 22:07, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Rather than have "Metalcore/Melodic metalcore" I've placed a separate link for 'Melodic' under melodic music. Page looks neater now. --Ryouga 22:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Genre: I wouldn't agree with groove or post-thrash, simply because that label is given to bands like Lamb of God, who are considerably heavier. Regards, --Ryouga 02:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks a lot

The Lamb of God page, which SHOULD ALWAYS be metalcore/post-thrash w/ THREE cites is constantly reverted or changed and whatnot. God knows I can't be on here forever, so I appreciate your help on reverting the page. Your aid is very helpful to me, and if you can continue to watch the page along with me, I'm sure that eventually the ignorant user shall give up. Thanks again. --Ryouga 05:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
