[edit] NPOV

This article reads like the front page of a fan magazine. I personally can't fix it because I hate this band and was just looking on the site to see if the band was a joke or not. Trendkill 22:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Changed Genre

This band is clearly not a 'hardcore band' as defined by the pages here. People can get nitpicky with genres, but there is certainly no argument here. The Chariot is a metalcore band; they even call themselves a metal band. They add a lot of math elements to their music, so I think the metalcore/mathcore genre is fitting for the band.

[edit] Removed advertising

Obvious advertisement, with a MySpace link to a band they toured with.. certainly does NOT belong in the intro. 24.61.84.44 03:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Should this page have a link to long song titles like this?

Perhaps the album Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, and Nothing Is Bleeding, but the main article doesnt warrent it. Dan, the CowMan 02:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Done! Gbeeker 22:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture of The Chariot

how come the picture has 5 people in it, but it only lists 4 people being in the band? Supmyman7 02:57, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PunkRock band stub?

No way man,remove that.Whoever warranted this stub as PR needs to get that off,or look up the genre.

'thought' is spelt wrong and despite my agreement that whole paragraph reeks of fanboy.

[edit] Bias

I'm very concerned about the bias of this article. It is not an encyclopedic entry at all but rather a direct copy of information released by the band, in short, this is a press release.Hopesrise 00:15, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

I'v cleaned up the 'history' section, I hope it is to everyone's approval.Hopesrise 00:40, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What does it say?

What exactly is the voice saying at the end of "Someday, In the Event That Mankind Actually Figures Out What it is That This World Revolves Around, Thouands of People are Going to be Shocked and Perplexed To Find out that it Was not Them, Sometimes This Includes Me"?

It says "I'm not worried about death" with a strong accent on 'death'. I think I saw that text in an ecard with the sound clip or something like that.

[edit] "Heaviest Christian band"

I want to edit the line "as well as being thought to be one of the heaviest Christian metal bands to date" because that is very untrue. There are many heavier bands than The Chariot. They're not even that 'heavy', more chaotic.


I'm going to change the word heavy to chaotic.

[edit] Tarot Card

'The Chariot' should either directly lead to the tarot card, or a disambiguation page, as opposed to this obscure Christian band. One is certainly more relevant than the other. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.16.18.99 (talk • contribs) 22:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC).

To the person above me,

You are an idiot. That is just a stupid card in a deck for a card game. Am i saying card games are stupid? No, i play card games all the time. But should every single card have a page...NO. A tarot card doesn't deserve a page because...hmmm....IT ISNT REAL. The Chariot is a real group of people making a living and that is just a stupid card.

The chariot is not obscure because they have tons of loyal listeners. The more relevant one is an band that has influences to god and their faiths, not some stupid card. The page should not have been changed. End of story.

Signed, EVERYONE [unknown]

Speak for yourself. Thank you. SweetNightmares (talk) 01:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Song?

I have a copy of Tooth and Nail/Solid State's compilation mix called "This Is Solid State Vol. 5" which features a track by the Chariot I've never heard elsewhere before. It's track number 9 and it's called "It's Usually The Boys Who Cry Wolf That Grow Up To Be The Men Who Cry Sanctuary", I'm not sure if that song changed into another song when the first album debuted. I can't find anything about it on line, not even lyrics, so does anybody have any clues about it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.52.66.6 (talk) 02:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] DVD

Something should be said about the Chariot's first DVD (released prior to Everything is Alive, in 2004), which I just can't remember the name of right now. Anyway, I think the DVD, due to its long and hilarious content as well as its display of the Chariot's live shows, developed a pretty expansive cult following. Not sure, though. I know it was a popular item and I was asked more than once, "Dude, have you seen the Chariot DVD?" Notkc 22:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Also

I also threw in a little bit about "Everything is Alive..." in the first paragraph. Not having the album listed in the introductory paragraph makes the History section a little confusing. Notkc 22:21, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nirvana sample?

Where's the Nirvana sample in "The Deaf Policeman"? I've never heard "Tourette's", but it seems uncharacteristic for a metal band to use samples, and none of it sounds sampled, or even, particularly, like Nirvana.
