[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:23307.jpeg

Image:23307.jpeg 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.

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.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 22:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EMO SCUM!!

who the fuck put emo down stupid minnie mosher trivium loving motherfuckers,,, LEAVE GOOD MUSIC ALONE!!!!!!

[edit] THESE GUYS ARE NOT MATH ROCK

Why is everyone calling these guys math rock? They rarely venture out of 4/4, and the guitar parts are far from rhythmically complicated. I say that these guys do not get referred to as math rock anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.116.165 (talk) 20:00, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

On the album "Antidotes", there are a few songs where the rhythm is not a simple 4/4: for example at the beginning of "Two Steps, Twice", and again at the beginning of "Tron", the song's main rhythm is in (I think) 6/8, and the drumming is in (I think) 2/4 or 4/4. Whether this justifies the term "math rock" is unknown to me, however. --Pierremegevand (talk) 13:02, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

6/8 and 4/4 are not complicated time signatures. Also, most math rock bands change time signatures quite regularly. My point was that these guys rarely venture out of these time sigs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.71.233 (talk) 19:36, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Television appearances

I tagged the television appearances section with {{trivia|date=March 2008}}, as I don't understand how relevant it is to know every time they appear on a television program. It looks like trivia to me, especially since it is just a list of discrete information. Any other opinions? The Baroness of Morden (talk) 17:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

To highlight this, note that today the section was updated with a television appearance made by Foals on this very day; it's as though the section is kept up-to-date for no important reason. The Baroness of Morden (talk) 19:06, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Television appearances are one way to demonstrate notability - I don't see how it's irrelevant, or why it can't be a "discrete" "list" - would you prefer it if the line-breaks were deleted? --Cheeser1 (talk) 19:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
But do we need to know every single television program they've featured on? Lots of people have been on Buzzcocks, and some of them are has-beens; being on Buzzcocks doesn't mean you're particularly notable, and just how notable is "T-Mobile's Transmission"? The Baroness of Morden (talk) 20:28, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Notability has nothing to do with article contents. Please familiarize yourself with this policy: Wikipedia:Notability. Furthermore, appearances on Channel 4 seem pretty darn important. The information is relevant, its layout is not particularly unreadable nor confusing, and it is not otherwise poorly-written. Why do you object to what you consider "trivia"? If it were "Foals was referenced on episode 1238 of Family Guy and Foals once appeared in the Illegitimate Community College Newspaper in the Music Review section" that would be trivia. This is not trivia, nor trivial. --Cheeser1 (talk) 20:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Let's put it this way: all of your arguments more or less also apply to the Discography section. --Cheeser1 (talk) 20:43, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I have since rewritten that section of the article. I don't really care for arguing with you; instead, why don't you just let me know what you think of the section now? The Baroness of Morden (talk) 20:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm not sure if it addresses your concerns, but it seems to be functionally equivalent (although you may have lost some details that could be added back in, but that's a minor side-note). --Cheeser1 (talk) 21:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Okay, well, I think it is more readable as it is now, and am glad that it's deemed equivalent to the previous version. The Baroness of Morden (talk) 23:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Band members/roles

The band members are listed on the right hand side, however there is no indication within the article as to what roles they perform. It would probably be a good idea to include a sentence in the opening paragraph along the lines of, "the band consists of XXXX(vocals), XXXX(percussion) etc". Hopefully there's a fan who knows who does what within the band who can do this? LGG203 (talk) 22:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] History

The history section makes a reference to the band having a previous title of "The Edmund Fitzgerald". Could this be reference to the SS Edmund Fitzgerald? Use of the definite article "The" would suggest that it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alan9000 (talk • contribs) 00:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
