[edit] he was born in nazareth, israel and moved to england

thats pretty self-explainatory, isnt it ?

Yes, but it contradicts the article. If this is true you should change the article, but you should also provide a source as it seems more probable that he would have been born in England. marnues 03:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

His biography on Cradle of Filth's official site says he was born in Hertford, England, and until now I've never heard anything to the contrary. I'd say being born in Israel sounds like Damnation And A Day-inspired fiction, especially given the amount of rumour and false facts the band seem to encourage. --Moose 19:14, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Most of the "facts" on this page seem to have come from a single fansite on Geocities, which I wouldn't think was a particularly reliable source. I've just tidied up the page, but apart from rearranging everything into some kind of rough chronological order I've left the content how it was. But it could seriously do with some sources to back up a lot of what's said... Israel? Two masters degrees? Really? --Cardinal Wurzel 09:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Although I hear he's very well read, I removed the two masters degrees part. I've looked on the internet and only found a few quotes that said that - from fansites. The first album was recorded in 1993, meaning he would be 19 years old, and there has been a sucession of Cradle albums following. Where would he find time to do two degrees? Furthermore it said he had the choice of persuing a career in journalism or music; since the first album was released when he was 20, it seems he's already chosen the path of being a musician. So why would he do two degrees? Sorry for this long-winded anaylsis, but some of the facts seem unwarranted

[edit] Cairo?

He lives in Cairo? Is that right? --Cardinal Wurzel 08:27, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gothic Metal

Gothic Metal band Cradle of Filth? I know CoF's hard to classify, but they are obviously not gothic metal. It should say at the least "heavy metal", not gothic.151.205.196.180 15:34, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Done. ≈ The Haunted Angel (The Forest Whispers My Name) 16:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Agreed; They're often labelled Melodic black metal, but apparently they're steering away from that direction even more, so heavy metal seems to be a fair description...-from K37 02:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

Is there really a need for them? None of them are sourced, I can't find any verifiable information on them either. It's very easy to create a quote that "may" apply to someone (look at all the Internet junk associated with George Carlin). Wouldn't it be better to rid the page of them? They serve no "encyclopedic" use and seem to be used for little more than vandalbait. -- Death a horseman for a better tomorrowTM 00:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

That's why I slapped an unsourced tag there. I agree, and have removed them. ≈ The Haunted Angel //The Forest Whispers My Name// 00:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] facts and rumours

LOL! Somebody put this in the facts and rumours: "He is renowned for his vocal range. He has the ability to sing very "clean and clearly" but chooses a "dirty screaming" style." Well, HOLY SHIT!!11 WOW~!!! if he played guitar, people would be saying "he is renowned for his guitar abilities. He has the ability to play "clean and clearly" but chooses a "distorted" style." That wasnt really funny. There are thousands and thousands of people who choose to use a "dirty screaming" style...and every single one of them (fucking anyone can...) can sing "clean and clearly". If you cant sing properly, you have no hope of being able to "dirty scream". Isilioth 09:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Divorce?

An anonymous contributor keeps saying that Dani and Toni have divorced on account of Toni hitting Luna. A quick Google search has yielded absolutely no mention of this, and his page on the band's website still says they're happily married, so I've been reverting the edits. Has anyone else heard anything about this? Moose 19:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I couldn't find anything listed about it. I would think that it would make the rounds at least on Blabbermouth or some swooning fan about him "being on the market" etc. Then again I don't follow his personal life very closely, I just dig the music. -- Borameer 20:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
My guess is that it's nothing but pure vandalism. Until a source is stated, revert on sight. ≈ The Haunted Angel //The Forest Whispers My Name// 20:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Unsourced Material

Most if it is addressed in interviews with him, which can be found on youtube, but I won't cite those videos as they're breaching copyright. Maurauth 17:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
