[edit] Restructured the page
I thought the article was a mess so I rearranged most of it and added the band box on the right side. The article is a bit skimpy though so if you have something to add don't be afraid to just stick it where it belongs. Cdwillis (talk) 04:52, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Guest Appearances Citations
Somebody tagged a bunch of the guest appearances for citations. I sourced all of the ones that I found videos of on youtube.com and put the others here on the talk page. I think the onstage guests section needed cleaned up anyway. Cdwillis (talk) 04:26, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- Davey Havok, frontman of AFI, sang "Live Wire" by Mötley Crüe
- Chester Bennington from Linkin Park sung with Metal Skool after the band spotted him amongst the audience.
- Jeff Scott Soto of Journey sang Don't Stop Believing.
- E-40
- Steve-O
- Tre Cool played drums with the band in 2005 in San Diego.
- Mike Piazza played drums on Scorpions song "Rock You Like A Hurricane".
- Jeff Martin from Racer X sang "You've Got Another Thing Coming" and "Breakin' The Law" by Judas Priest
- Scott Travis from Judas Priest played drums on "Live Wire" by Mötley Crüe while there with Mike Wengren from Disturbed.
- The entire band Green Day came up on stage and played Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love"
- Hal Sparks joined the band on New Years Eve 2007-2008 for a Cinderella cover amongst others.
- In 2005, Mark Tremonti of Creed and Alter Bridge was pulled on stage at the Roxy, where he professed not "knowing any 80's metal" songs. A fan yelled he could do better, so Tremonti handed the guitar to him as he hopped on stage. The fan played Mötley Crüe, before Russ Parrish pulled the plug and professed he was "taking his equipment home", since he wasn't needed anymore. Tremonti never played anything, other than a few Creed licks.
[edit] Speedy Deletion Disputed
This article was tagged for speedy deletion minutes after its creation. (I believe this is part of the rampant bullshit deletionist campaign plaguing Wikipedia. This is the only time I will mention that). I have added links to articles on them and their website. They sell out shows regularly and attract a crowd of celebrity guests. They've been featured on the cover of All Access Magazine, an L.A. print mag about local live music. They also are said to have won the award for "Best Tribute Band" by that magazine in their annual music awards, but I can't find a listing of the awards anywhere, other than to notice that the awards (and that category) do exist [1], so I cited their website, on which I found the claim. If anyone requires further documentation, google "metal skool - there's 60,200 sources for you. ---Matthew Cieplak (talk) (edits) 09:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Album Cover image (fair use?)
I added the band's album cover as the band image, knowing full well that many low-res album covers appear on WP. However, I know someone's going to say it's not fair use because it doesn't illustrate the album in question. Well there is no article for the album. Make one yourself if it means that much to you. I looked around for decent copyright-free images of the band and couldn't find any except some terrible cameraphone shots. Tomorrow I'll find some official promo materials that we can use fairly, in the abscence of non-fair-use stuff. If anyone else wants to take a crack, there's a few thousand photos here, most of which seem to be copyrighted explicitly. ---Matthew Cieplak (talk) (edits) 10:16, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- I maintain http://www.albertr.com/MetalSkool/ and give photo credit to the photographers (or myself, Albert R.) for the various Metal Skool photo albums. Contact the credited person, or me at albertr@albertr.com if you'd like to use a photo.

- There is now an article for the album Hole Patrol. I was wondering if we should use that image for the album article, what do you think? JimboV1 (talk) 09:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
