[edit] re-rewrite needed

the new cd is out now the the 'tense' of the related portion of said article is in dire need of a 'face lift'A.I.C. rules. four tildes —Preceding unsigned comment added by Otis66Driftwood (talk • contribs) 17:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

The entire article is rewritten now and is currently a GAN. —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 23:55, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

I have re written most of the main part of this article, in an attempt to meet the clean up request in place since Nov 2005. I have tried to keep in most of the details people had included previously, but I have added in other important information, and restructured the article so that it flows a bit better. Such a great band deserves a decent page!! Alph K9 01:06, 13 April 2006 (UTC)Alpha K9

[edit] Blues-metal?

Wouldn't Down be considered "blues-metal" as well? A lot of the songs on their 2nd CD sounded really bluesy to me.

[edit] Phils Throat

tonight I saw Heaven and Hell with Megadeth and NO DOWN, this was same with yesterday when they didnt play due to Phil having a throat problem in Edmonton. this could be interesting info for the band or whatever, by the way the show fucking slayed The Ravager 06:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

• The fan club of Down bears the name 'The Brotherhood of Eternal Sleep', or simply B.R.O.E.S. (pronounced /ˈbrɒs/).
• The song "NOD" on Over the Under is about the nightmares of heroin/addiction, and the "nod squad" is a reference the abilities of various individuals to pass out while on heroin, shortly regain consciousness, then nod out again repeatedly, producing the effect of a nodding head.

[edit] singles?

hey man are you sure bury me in smoke was put out as a single? I've been collecting this stuff more or less since nola came out (I'm an old bastard) and I have every single, promo, advance copy you name it from the first 2 records and the singles I have from nola are stone the crow - lifer - and rehab...I can send you pics if you wanna see em....if you have or have seen a bury me in smoke thats got to be the rarest of the rare....also I think I Scream was put out from Over the Under 198.182.13.103 (talk) 10:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Really? You don't need to send me pictures, but if you wanted to you could. I scream, Mourn and something else were released from Over the Under. I'm just waiting a little bit so I can update the chart properly. I want to add as many singles as I can find. Bury Me in Smoke was released, but it was only on a disc that looks like it was copied just for radio stations. It isn't even really a collector thing. —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 23:09, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

1) why is tempations wings not classed as a single?, 2) why is Bury me in smoke stated as having a video ? and why does this article say that there is no video for stone the crow ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Khanrad (talk • contribs) 10:47, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

1) It is now, 2) I don't know and 3) if you click on the page for stone the crow, it not only states that there's a video, but there is also a link that you can watch it on. Dark Executioner (talk) 17:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA on hold

• No image for infobox?
• "The members consist of" - members --> band, consist --> consists
• "and has gone on indefinate hiatus twice" - indef is a poor word since it ended...
• "a small concert in it's hometown" - rmv apostrophe
• "the album has received a platinum award" - has been certified platinum?
• "In 2002, Down reformed to make another record" - you said nothing about them splitting up...
• "Pepper Keenan in 2005. Down wrote and recorded Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow in 28 "drug and booze induced" days." - apart from the first 4 words, what does this have to do with the image?
• "The album was released on 26 March 2002. The album was not received with the positive reviews that appeared when NOLA was released." - merge sentences
• "Down stated they will be re-releasing..." - when?

And a note on my talk page when done. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 01:12, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
