I think your comment was far too angry given that you're arguing over... I don't know what you're arguing about actually. Surely you can edit an article about an album without resorting to profane tirades. This isn't exactly a controversial topic. It's not acceptable for you to add "The Meaning of 'guero' is not immediately discernable on Wikipedia" to the article. You're welcome to point out shortcomings of the article here on the talk page, but please don't put personal remarks into article text, even if you think the article is lacking in some way.

[edit] It's not spelled "Honda"

I'm from Argentina and in Spanish "honda" is a slingshot. "What's up?" is translated exactly as "¿qué onda?", as "onda" has many uses such as "wave", "way", "mode", "vibe", etc. The only mistake on "Qué onda Guero?" is the fact that the dieresis is missing on güero. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.49.114.248 (talk) 07:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Güero is not outrageous

Guero is a Spanish slang term for a pale-skinned or blonde-haired person, often used as a slur

Güero (sounds as wero) is not used as a slur here in México, I have many friends we used to call them "güero" and it doesn't has any outrageous significance

It depends on who's saying it. I live in texas near presidio and am called guero quite often. If its from my friends its no big deal since its kinda a joke. However if its someone i dont know and they have hate behind it it is offensive. (e.g. Pinche Guero can be offensive but if a friend says sup guero, no biggie)

[edit] Music video fold-in messages

In the music video for Guero, their are messages and images that appear, like a MAD fold-in. Is is possible to include images or descriptions of the messages or sets that change? --Bushido Hacks 01:52, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

  • That's the music video for Girl, and you can include that in the article for it. --Case Of The Punks 16:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beastie Boys?

On the credits for E-Pro it lists Beck Hansen/Dust Brothers/Beastie Boys yet under Personal the Beastie Boys are not listed, could someone confirm that they actually should be credited? --Jimmyjrg 10:42, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

The beat is from the Beastie Boys' song So What'cha Want.
That credit is for writing songs, personal means they were involved in

I added some pronounciation help. It is insignificant and unimportant at best, but might be helpful to non-Spanish speakers who hear the word spoken. Further, in my experience as an Anglo living amongst Mexican friends (and family), the term is not typically considered to be negative, prejudicial, or discriminatory by those who use it.

[edit] Is that Brian Peppers?

BPEPPS?!!??!

-I actually thought that to, on the album cover.

[edit] Broken Drum

"The song "Broken Drum" is about Elliott Smith.

The song "Black Tambourine" was featured in the David Lynch film Inland Empire."

Both are out of place and uncited. Anybody have a solution? The freddinator (talk) 00:05, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
