[edit] KK?

Where're the references to the "K.K." story? It seems so very strange, since Kenneth is a very popular name in Denmark, enjoying the same popularity in the country as, say, "Mike" in any english speaking country. Just asking. 82.181.201.82 (talk) 06:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Astbury Hall

Any evidence that Astbury Hall is open as a B&B? I can't find any references in Google. Rojomoke 14:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

"Mr Downing's former cohabitee Miss Lissimore's claims against Astbury Hall were reported as 'Downing v Lissimore' [2003] 2 FLR 308, a leading authority on cohabitee claims."

This entry in the HOMES section makes no sense to me at all (24.205.148.23 03:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Tapping

I think it's worth mentioning the time when he and Glenn started using tapping in their playing. They may not have been the very first to use it, the most famous ones to use it, or guitarists who made some of the most famous uses of it, but they still made very notable use of it over the years, and their beginning to use it marked a turning point in the development of their playing. It was one of the first shredding techniques that they ever incorporated into their playing.

But, the problem is, there were dozens of guitarists using it prior to them. So them using it is sort of an afterthought in the styles development. That they made "notable use of it" is crufty POV... "marked a turning point" and their "first shredding techniques" is just unreferenced original research. So far, its addition into the article hasn't been written in a very encyclopedic tone and ends up looking like buried trivia. 156.34.227.140 00:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
