Talk:Malice Mizer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi... I just want to say that the picture of Mana is incorrectly labelled as "Beast of Blood." Mana's look for "Beast of Blood" was quite different. Here are sources for the correct images:

http://moonglow.nu/gardenia/images/mana/mana239.jpg

http://moonglow.nu/gardenia/images/mana/mana180.jpg

The image shown, with the blonde ringlets, was worn after the release of the Bara on Seidou album - before the release of Beast of Blood.

I suggest replacing it with a Beast of Blood image, as it is very popular among fans and cosplayers, and represents his aesthetic more completely. Yes, I know I could upload it myself but... I'm too lazy to find out how.

[edit] Back and forth on spelling

People have been reverting the spelling of "Pride of mind" back and forth a bunch of times. The correct spelling is without the capital M, as seen on their official logo. I also removed the wiki link because Pride of mind doesn't need a separate page on Wikipedia. flowersofnight (talk) 17:31, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Is there a reason why there isn't a picture?

I think it would be nice if there was a picture of the band in the article. Is there a particular reason why there's not? If not, then does anyone have an issue with me adding one? --Berserk798 02:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Impartiality

Tetsu went on to take a different direction in his subsequent work, and demonstrated his own strong vision and leadership. -- Doesn't sound really impartial to me.

  • It's pretty much true though; I'm no expert on Tetsu's later work, but he has essentially been the major creative force behind each of his later bands. The volume of his output and his creative initiative in his projects makes it a fair statement in my opinion. It also serves to counter the myth that Tetsu was nothing but a do-nothing vocalist who was unilaterally fired by Mana. flowersofnight (talk) 14:34, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Tetsu link

This will show that they are in fact not the same person. ultrabionic_ang 16:09, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Gothic band in the visual kei scene"

Malice Mizer doesn't define itself as gothic; -scape-, the most cohesive and comprehensive English website about Malice Mizer and its artists, also fails to define it as being gothic. The closest it comes to is saying that they "contain gothic elements". Is there anyone that disagrees with me when I say this needs to be fixed? --Berserk798 21:02, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures of Each Era

Is their any way someone could put pictures of MALICE MIZER with each of their vocalists I've seen bands on other pages with a couple of pictures, but MALICE MIZER only has one? It would be more informative if each era was shown. --Visual Corruption 00:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Visual Corruption

The way the picture is so frequently changed is ridiculous. Let's get a picture of each "era", call it good, and stick to them. --Berserk798 02:42, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
