Talk:Van Halen/to do

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cross out suggestions as they are corrected or post about in the talk page

  1. Get a better photo for the band with Gary Cherone
  2. Find a photo of the Hall of fame induction (Hagar/Anthony's performance)
  3. Photo of Eddie Van Halen from the time after he left rehab (I hear there's one in Guitar World soon)
    Photos would help support "looked fit and well, better than he had..." VisitorTalk 05:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  4. Remove fancruft and biased opinions in the 'influence on culture...' section
    I'd also like to see the material about musical techniques split out into a new section, which should mention tapping, volume swells, "brown sound," Alex's technique and massive setup, and Anthony's equipment and technique (perhaps including a photo of the Jack Daniels bass).

  5. Wikify the section on the band's recent attempt at a reunion
    I think that's been done. VisitorTalk 05:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  6. Turn the paragraph on the band's most recent history into more than a bulletin board for updates - lets make it a real article
    If you're referring to the 2007 reunion, I think that section covers what's known except for the additional Michael Anthony blog item I discuss below. VisitorTalk 05:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  7. CITATIONS CITATIONS CITATIONS
  8. insert this facts: 1)The Weezer band has a Logo similar to the Van halen One, in their honour. 2)In the "Perfect situation" video by weezer the (fake) singer freaks out seeing a brown M&M in a bowl full of only green M&Ms.. another tribute to van halen.
    Suggested addition to the "influences" section: "The band Weezer honored Van Halen by making Weezer's logo similar to Van Halen. Weezer also spoofed Van Halen in Weezer's "Perfect Situation" video, which shows a singer appalled by finding a single brown M&M amid a bowl of green M&M's." References would be needed for both items. VisitorTalk 05:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
