[edit] Influences
For the love of God, someone correct the "influences on Metallica" section. The prince wasn't on the garage days rerevisited EP, it was on the single for Enter Sandman. All the other information in that segment needs fixing too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.105.208.211 (talk • contribs) 05:16, 13 October 2005
[edit] Awful
I know they're only known for their Metallica links these days and are mostly responsible for Metallica's classic 80's sound but could we please give the article more focus on Diamond Head themselves? This is awful. It skims the band then whines on about Metallica. Vanity articles pretending to cover the band should be deleted. Either add decent info or delete this article as non-notable.--88.105.101.98 13:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
I've rewritten most of the band's history and given a brief history of the band, although It could still do with expanding. When I have more time I'll do back and insert references
[edit] More info - and a correction
Good man. This page is now much better.
I'd like to point out an error though. The Friday Rock Show /Reading cd has their set from the Reading Festival in August 1982 (which was Borrowed Time period) and not Monsters of Rock 1983. (That was Canterbury period, and MoR was always held at Donington, as Download is now.) The Reading appearance was classic and unexpected - they were a late replacement for Man of War (or Man O' War, or whatever they were called). That Reading set is also where the live version of Sucking My Love (12" of Making Music) came from. It wasn't their last song btw - that comment is edited from elsewhere in the set. (From before the last song funnily enough.)
On the discography front: There was a video released by their fan club from a tour which I believe was in 1984. It was the tour after the Canterbury tour and, if I remember correctly, after they were dropped by MCA. This was the Goldsworthy line up and it was recorded at Leicester Polytechnic (now renamed) or Leicester University - I can't remember which, which is sad because I was there and I own the video.
As I recall the organisers of the fan club complained that they got screwed by the band financially when they split up.
Oh and the story goes that Tatler and Scott first heard Harris sing Bebopalulla (or however that's spelt) on the coach on a school trip. Allegedly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Glenn little (talk • contribs) 09:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Sorted
Added the info mentioned. It was at the University of Leicester (not the poly, now called DMU).
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DiamondHeadBand.jpg

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.

[edit] GA review
I have quick-failed this good article nomination because it has lots of unsourced content. Of the content that is sourced, the sources are either primary or non-reliable. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 10:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
