Rearranged the article some what, and also added some new info - Welshy 22:13, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

The name of Matt Skiba's wife is not Jennifer, it's Monica Parker.

[edit] Sources

There seems to be some kind of revert war going on here, concerning his wife.

Until an acceptable source can be found, it will be kept as monica parker. I will revert all changes that change that.

Also, we need sources people. I've added markers to show where I think we need them. Add your own if you think the statement needs to be sourced. Let's clean up this article.

Well seeing as someone has copied the WHOLE article from this [1], I think it'd be suitable to add that as a source. Edward Nygma 21:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't have any sources but I would say that Misfits are a bigger influence than both the Ramones and Social Distortion for Matt. /Sven

I don't have a recording from the show I went to in April(seeing as, you know, it wasn't allowed and you shouldn't pirate stuff from bands you love, but tit for tat), but Matt is indeed a very, very large fan of The Misfits, especially circa Danzig, as he had a few minute interlude about why they rock.--King of Rain 04:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Satanist? Atheist?

In the Guitar World magazine interview, it's stated that while Matt's indeed a card carrying member of the Church of Satan, he's also an Atheist, stating that "I just like to pull out the card to watch them squirm." So, for the sake of information, shouldn't that be added in to his bio? -richardstone15 23 June 2006, 22:30

[edit] Jerkwater

Alright, this has bugged me for a very long time now.

The article that the Jerkwater link links to on Matt's page leads to a Brooklyn, New York band that was started by three friends in 1998.

The problem arising from that is that, nowhere on their page (Jerkwater, that is), does it reference Matt as having anything to do with the band in any capacity. And, besides that problem, Matt was still in Chicago working on Alkaline Trio in 1998, if not touring for the release of Goddamnit, which was released in 1997. In long and short, source for this, please.
