[edit] Music clasification
Hasent rise against been clasified as punk rock? I belive it has so would that make him a punk rock singer/artist.
[edit] Eyes
I have a picture of his eyes but I am not sure where to put it or how to make it correctly show up. I have the image in PhotoBucket and it is just a picture from the "Ready to Fall" music video but would still serve it's point. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b36/DarkAce7/TimMcIlrathEyes.jpg
[edit] Photo
I think it needs an updated picture since he got his haircut. There are lots on their website: here $cammer 23:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Someone put a ===D penis at the bottom of the page.. Keep that new pic of him, it's freakin' awesome
[edit] Baxter
Per the merger discussed at Talk:Baxter (band), this is the text from that article:
- Baxter, the post hardcore. Their music - a vital piece of Chicago punk-rock history. For those who aren't familiar, the Baxter sound would perhaps be best labeled as post-hardcore, sometimes comparable to bands such as Fugazi, At The Drive-In, and Chicago's own Cap'n Jazz. Their aesthetic value, however, can not be put into such simple verbiage. By the time these boys crept onto the Chicago underground scene in the late 90's` their full-length cassette "Troy's Bucket" (1996) encountered a warm reception all around Chicago and sales warranted immediate re-duplication. More frequent shows in the city and modest nation-wide touring ensued. In 1997, the band released the 7-inch "Lost Voices..." on Static Station Recordings.
- In November of '97, Baxter played the sold-out Slapstick reunion show at the Fireside Bowl in Chicago. The reaction they received rivaled that of the legendary headliners. They broke up and went on to form the bands Rise Against, The Lawrence Arms and The Killing Tree.
- In 2002, Will Not Clear Man records re-released "Troy's Bucket", "Lost Voices..." and several other previously unrealeased demos and one live song on CD. The two-disc complete discography is entitled simply "Baxter".
I only merged the disc information, as most of the above is POV purple prose like "such simple verbiage" or unverifiable claims about reception or sales. The claim about "nation-wide touring" which would qualify the band under WP:MUSIC is refuted by McIlrath, who says here
- Tim: I played in a band called Baxter. We never really did anything outside of Chicago. So we were just a local band.
FYI - baxter DID in fact tour nationally w/ The Broadways (brendan+chris from the larry arms old band) they also did a small stint w/ lesser known NYMB
It may prove useful to someone, though, so here it is. --Dhartung | Talk 12:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Age
OK does anyone know for a FACT how old he is. Because i dont know if he was born in 1978 or 1980 or whatever but its pretty important, so if you know for a fact then get a refrence or whatever and put it. For know well keep it as 1978. P.S. It sucks if hes that old...jkHowl5 23:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Being born in 1978 does not make you old!!
HaHa I know I'm kidding. Howl5 21:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nice guy?!
I don't know how this would fit in, but somebody needs to put in how grateful he always is to his fans. How he's a really down-to-earth kinda guy. And really nice, too. 130.85.246.236 15:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] List of people with heterochromia
A series of people have been adding McIlrath to this list, but per WP:BLP, he can't stay without a reliable source to cite. I looked around without success, which is why I thought I'd post here, to see whether anyone has an off-line magazine article or an interview verifying the info. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 14:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
