[edit] Random Comments
Boys night out is a wicked band, I definatly recommend checking out their latest cd "Trainwreck" its really fun to follow.
I agree. This band doesn't get the credit they should get.
[edit] POV Discussion
Article seems to have strayed into a 90210 catfight about Andy Lewis leaving his old band. I think all that crap should be edited out, since it has little to do with the band or their music. It seems to be someone connected to his old band who wants to take a shot. SnaX 20:11, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree with the above poster. The statements made about the relationship between Andy Lewis and Darran Malcolm are hersay. As mentioned, this bears little relevance to the substance of the article itself. If comments on the personal relationships between members are going to be made, they should certainly be written from a different angle. Secondly, the point on Jeff Davis' statement being dishonest, misinformed etc boarders on personal opinion. --Jeff K 20:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Seems like the person who put the information has a personal vendetta against Andy Lewis. I find it takes away from the article and as Snax and Jeff K have both said, it has no relevance. Unless a member of either band put it there and can verify it being truthful, I think it should be removed.--Shiftnick 20:35, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Man, I think this is awesome. I don't know who made this entry, but they seem like they are sad inside and really angry outsite. Fight the good fight everyoone! GO JESUS!
Article cleaned up by yours truly. SnaX 02:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I've re-added info regarding BNO's poaching habits. These habits are relevant to the article. Redwretch August 1, 2006.
They aren't relevant, because the article is about a band, and not a soap opera. More importantly, this is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid and FACTS are the soup of the day, not opinion. Your OPINION that BNO "poached" Andy Lewis is simply that - an opinion and one that clearly breaks Wikipedia POV Guidelines. If you continue to edit the article to reflect YOUR opinion and point of view, I will seek to have your account suspended. SnaX 04:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I've reverted the page to an earlier version. SnaX 04:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why pop punk?
Why is this band included in the pop punk category (at the bottom of the page?) I am not saying that they are not pop punk, or partially pop punk, but are there any sources to back this up? I am mostly concerned because the only genre listed in their info under the photo is "rock." Given the bands they toured with, they definitely are associated with punk/etc.. but "pop punk?" please reference this. Thanks. Xsxex 22:37, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. Although I hate all the stupid sub-genres, and don't pay much attention to them, I can't see how BNO is pop-punk. In my opinion (and I think most people who know anything about MUSIC, not just current stuff would agree) the band is currently a rock band. No question there are punk and pop elements, but Trainwrek is closer to Fleetwood Mac than it is to Good Charlotte - who I consider pop-punk.
- I think BNO is for now, a rock band, and if no one else speaks up...let's change it. SnaX 18:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Just wanted to add, I don't think they are an emo band either. Their songs are about killing women, not having your 13 year old heart broken by them. SnaX 00:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Anyone that knows what real "emo" music is, becuase, yes, it is a genre of music, knows that emo music isn't all about teenagers getting their hearts broken. yeah that stereotype is derived from some reality. BUT, "emo" is a shortened form of "emotional hardcore." that's what the genre is, taking the elements of human emotion and adding hardcore edge to them. dashboard = not emo. the best emo bands out there are the ones that creatively and effectively combine soft, sensitive lyrics and music with heavy, aggresive, ideas and music as well. a good emo band takes you through every aspect of human emotion, grabbing your heart and effing pulling it out of your chest. If there are any bands that do this effectively, they are Boys Night Out, Brand New, The Early November, Circa Survive, and other similar bands. this does NOT include all pop-punk bands, nor does it include all "screamo" bands, i you even beleive in that being a genre. if there's a common theme in boys night out music before their newest self titled album, it's "i love you with the bottom of my heart, but i have to kill you" if that isn't human emotion at its best with a hardcore edge, i don't know what is. so many people think of the term "emo" as being degrading. Boys Night Out is, by far, my favorite band ever. i would NEVER hesitate to consider them an emo band. people should probably get past stupid stereotypes and start really listening to the music their stereotyping. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.154.81.254 (talk) 15:50, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- so by that context, Converge's Jane Doe album was an emo album? i kinda have to agree then. (anonymous contributor)
