[edit] Yannismarou

  • "Araya contributed to the lyrics of Slayers material as of 1988's South of Heaven. Tracks include Seasons in the Abyss, Dead Skin Mask, South of Heaven, War Ensemble, and Jihad. His lyrics tend to be about death, murder, and serial killers, a subject Araya finds interesting." Souldn't the names of albums or tracks be in italics or brackets per WP:MoS?
  • I see typos throughout the article. Check it carefully.
  • Maybe another thorough look of the article for prose issues. For instance, this sentence "Araya's father stated he take the course or find a job, Araya chose to enroll in a two year technical course" may not be a problem for GA, but if you later go for FA, I don't tink that such prose will be regarded as "brilliant".
  • Is he a talented bassist? has he been praised for his work as vocalist or bassist?

As a conclusion, I would say that the article will pass GAC. But for a higher ranking I would also like to have a more detailed biography section.--Yannismarou 17:31, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Bassists aren't really called talented as you can't really hear them. Also on their first records the bass volume is low as he wasn't that great back then. I couldn't find any spelling errors,(i use Firefox 2, inbuilt spell-checker) I'll add another paragraph to Biography although is there any specific things you would like me put in? and is it enough for B-class? thanks M3tal H3ad 01:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
I see what you meant by spelling errors, I'm sure i cleaned them up now. M3tal H3ad 03:29, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
As per Hanneman, a section discussing the influences Tom Araya has, his bass and vocal style, and his actual influence on upcoming musicians at large. He has been influential. One interview, here, is where Soilwork frontman Bjorn Strid says Araya's vocal style influenced him as an early musician (without trying to be egotistical, I was the interviewer, LOL!).
