What does this mean?

"Richard had some fun with his unorthodox aural stylings when he spent two and a hal
years as the touring guitarist in Nine Inch Nails until he chose to leave the band in 1992."

What are unorthodox aural stylings? I'm not sure this makes any sense, even in context. kibibu 06:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poor phrasing

"For a long period, Patrick had a long history with alcoholism"

Well, he still has a long *history* - I mean, assuming that's true. Perhaps it should be

"For a long period, Patrick had problems with alcoholism", or something like that.

[edit] Citation needed?

"would often physically abuse him during on stage performances" in accusation towards Trent Reznor, thats a pretty weighty comment, is this the kind of thing that should be footnoted? If somebody is being slammed like that its probably good to have something non-conjectire behind it…

in the shows that I attended, it looked like he was being physically abused Bunnygod888 15:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
