Removed the details about Quorthon's death as that is detailed on his own page. redcountess 14:36, Jun 14, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Hardcore Punk??
Someone added in "Black Metal/Hardcore Punk" into the genre infobox. Apparently some people need to give Bathory a real close examination...they're anything BUT hardcore punk. I left it as Viking Metal, Black Metal, and Thrash Metal. Mister Deranged 21:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Citations?
There are NO citations in this article whatsoever. What basis is there for the assertion that they were a "highly intellectual" band? Could a fan or someone who has a clue about them please edit this article with citations. I'd like to read about them, but only if what I'm reading is grounded in documented fact.

- Yeah, this page is currently awful. I'll try and make it a priority to look for sources and sort this page out over the next week. I've removed some of the obvious nonsense, corrected a few bits per WP:MOS and added citation needed flags to everything that starts off with 'some fans think' etc. Those bits will probably get deleted but I'll have a go at sorting first.

[edit] Line-up
I changed " *Ace ``Quorthon`` Börje Forsberg - all instruments & vocals (Silverwing)
(R.I.P. 2/17/1966 - 6/3/2004, heart failure)" to "Quorthon (2/17/1966 - 6/3/2004) - guitars, vocals, music, and lyrics"; inasmuch as
1) it reflects more closely what is on the (presumably more authoritative) Quorthon page: we still don't know his real name; 2) it seems to be standard policy not to list death details in line-up entries. Of these, 1) seems the more important.
Also, the relevance of Silverwing was left unexplained.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=184 , I'll go ahead and add his name. /050505
--- Ok, sorry, this is not the right way to add to the discussion, I guess, but I can't find any other way... How can Bathory have been founded in 1983 by an *18*-year old guy born in 1966? In 1983 Quorthon must have been 16/17, but never 18...
[edit] Plagiarism?
Someone may want to check, but the biography section of this article seems strangely similar to the Bathory AllMusic Page...58.108.245.70 12:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.108.245.70 (talk) 12:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
Corrected his spelling of "plagerism" to "Plagiarism" because it annoyed me. Doctor-Schadenfreude 16:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bathory Logo.png
Image:Bathory Logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Troll alert
Seemingly someone has been trolling this page, see the remark "Bathory is also the worst band in the world". Someone should fix that, because I'm too lazy to do it.
[edit] Triplet gallop beat
Could somebody please tell me what a "triplet gallop beat" is? The only results on Google come from this page. TheguX 15:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Genre (as usual)
We can probably find sources saying Bathory is several different styles at different periods of their career. I'm not particularly interested in arguing about them. I reckon we leave 'black metal', 'Viking metal' and 'thrash metal', don't state exactly when they were in the infobox but find sources. Reasonable compromise? Blackmetalbaz (talk) 21:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not interested in arguing about it, either. I don't think there is an arguement really. Early on they were black metal, then they became Viking metal, then they made a couple thrash albums and then went back to Viking metal. Sounds fine to me, though I think the sources are unneccesary per what I just said. THere's never been an edit war on this page (that I know of) over the genres.

- Nah, just something mentioned on another Talk page. I think you could make an argument that some of the early stuff is thrash as well as black. Finding sources for that is actually quite easy, although some users seem to regard Terrorizer as unreliable. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 21:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- True and true. Though if you argue that early Bathory is thrash it's very different than the thrash that they played on Requiem and Octagon. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh absolutely. Notably by not being shit ;-) Blackmetalbaz (talk) 22:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hahahahahaha!! True. Those were the only bad albums that Bathory ever made. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
