[edit] Daughter's Age

Okay, his daughter is not 28. Dexter himself is only 40, which means he would have to have fathered her when he was 12.

Furthermore, here is an interview with Dexter Holland by Wave Magazine, presumably from 2003 since it says the band just released Splinter:

In it Dexter Holland says his daughter is 16. That would make her not 28 but either 18 or 19. I can't find an actual birthdate for his daughter, though, so I think any reference to her age should be removed altogether until someone finds that info.

His daughter is 20. She was born on Christmas. I am acquaintanced to her, and best friends with her mother Siri 23:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Equipment

I added this stuff - I've gathered this information after watching several gigabytes of live videos. I also have close-up pics and mp3 soundclips I've extracted for each of his guitars. I'm kinda a n00b - can anyone help me to upload them? 69.141.136.239 21:32, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong infobox type

It shouldn't be a band infobox. Shouldn't it be {{Infobox musical artist}} or {{Guitarist infobox}}? --GVOLTT 21:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I changed it... :D Ygokazuki 20:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hair

The second sentence of the article is currently:

He is almost immediately recognizable by his full head of spiky light-blond hair.

This is a bit odd, because: 1) That's not a particularly uncommon haircut; and 2) for the majority of The Offspring's career, including their peak of fame, he did have a particularly notable/unusual hairstyle, long dreadlock-like braids. So I think something about this should be changed. --Delirium 02:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

It's not certain if the braids were his harstyle for the majority of his career. I've seen very early Offspring pictures and videos that show him without braids. Either way, the braids are long gone, so I think it's best to remove this.
