Talk:Skinny Puppy

message: In various books about Disney's Haunted Mansion, it is mentioned that the band Skinny Puppy took their name from the night watchman's malnourished dog seen during the graveyard sequence of the popular attraction. Should this information be added to the article? 207.45.43.68 (talk) 15:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There have been various theories given as to the origin.  If a good cite could be found, I think it would be a valuable addition.  Though this is not likely a good source, SP was asked what the origin was in a 1985 interview.  66.191.19.68 (talk) 21:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Name Origin?

message: People seem to be getting confused over them...
It should be:
*Back and Forth
*Back and Forth series Two
*Brap: Back and Forth vol. 3 & 4
*Doomsday: Back and Forth vol. 5
*Back and Forth Six
*Back and Forth Vol 7
The 'series' of Back and Forth series Two's name refers to the fact its the second series of the Back and Forth demo tape. The 'volumes' were later created as the idea of volumes of old unreleased material (5 being the exception).
The Back and Forth albums are seperated because of that, Back and Forth being the original demo tape, 2 being an expanded re-release and then the others being their own albums.
:True enough. Back and Forth Six is actually "Back and Forth 06SIX" or something like that. There are a few other inconsistencies/minor errors in the titles of the SP discography articles on here (eg. "&" versus "and", leading "the" missing, etc.). Feel free to jump in and help correct them. heqs ·:. 10:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: "industrial" quotes

message: first of all please use headings when commenting, with apologies to the original authors, I added them here to make for an easier read. I reworked the years active part to reflect that Skinny Puppy disbanded in '95, reunited briefly for Dresden, and then later reunited (i used the release date of the underworld (Soundtrack) for the 2003 date). I thought the opening paragraph was a little too small so I added a NIN reference there, please remove it if you can think of something better to add to that paragraph.

thread_title: slightly reworked

message: Personally I feel the tracklistings should be removed from the Collections information.  It's more appropriate to have tracklistings on the pages for the Collections themselves and not in the main article.  None of the rest of the releases have them.  heavensblade23 00:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the tracklistings for the back & forth releases (as they have their own pages) but i left in the other collections' tracklistings, as they do not yet have their own articles. Articles should be created for the b-sides collect and the singles collect, whereas notes should be put on the pages for bites and remission, explaining the "Bites & Remission" release, as i feel that it does not warrant its own page.68.255.184.74 03:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: who took out the info about the new album? i glanced through the page's history, and all i came across concerning that info was that someone stated that they had "moved it from the greater wrong... section, and there was a section for the new album"... really? where? - (the previous unsigned comment was posted by User:65.43.217.207)
:I removed it because it did not seem to be encyclopedic info, it appeared to be a cut and paste of cEvin Key's responce e-mail concerning the Vault 2. An encyclopedic entry concerning the new album would be welcome. As a general rule of thumb, though, one should not directly cut and paste anything into wikipedia. Although any entry on the new album could cite that e-mail (or the litany forum post) as a reference, with "HTTP address here." Also that post ended with Key's e-mail address, which is generally not allowed, and an advertisement for the vault 2, which is also generally not allowed. Naufana : talk 17:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Recently I've been playing around with an article devoted to all of the various Skinny Puppy side-projects and guest appearances. Thus far I've only listed the side-projects along with the various members of each group. The page in progress can be found on my sandbox, here. If anyone wants to edit it while it's still in progress, please do. I'd like to create a brief description of each band's style and discog (assuming they do not already have a wiki article). If anyone can help me with a list of guest appearances please either edit the sanbox or let me know on my talk page. Thanks. Naufana : talk 22:22, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: side-projects & guest appearances

message: I just recently heard "Worlock" for the 1st time, and I'm a bit surprised. My reason is, earlier, I'd had listened to the same song, under the name of Trent Reznor's "tapeworm" project, called "Warlock (ft. Marilyn Manson)" Aside from feeling like an idiot, I'm a bit confused. Is that remix actually tapeworm, or someone else? I assume so because the background vocals DO sound like Maynard James Keenan, who's supposed to be a collaborator... But seeing how wrong I was the 1st time, I have to make sure.
-- you'd listened to the song illegally downloaded as an mp3, the remix is on the album remix dys temper by skinny puppy and has nothing to do with nine inch nails or trent reznor or marilyn manson or tapeworm or maynard james keenan.
:The version on remix dystemper is remixed by Rhys Fulber, and does not contain any contributions from Tapeworm, MM or MJK. The connections between them are not that far off though, just look at the many production/remix credits of Skinny Puppy's Dave "Rave" Ogilvie, or Manson's bassist Tim Skold, who was a member of ohGr's live band on their 2001 tour. Danny Carey also guested on Skinny Puppy's The Greater Wrong of the Right; him and cEvin Key are said to be good friends. Tool were also known to play Skinny Puppy CDs over the PA before taking to the stage at some of their live shows. Ogre also toured and performed with Reznor in Pigface; they sang together on stage. Oh, and NIN opened for Puppy in 1988. heqs 18:53, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Heqs, I noticed you recently made a change to the article that mentions Bill Leeb was "never listed as a member in album liner notes". I could be wrong, but I'm almost certain I remember seeing Wilhelm Schroeder credited in the liner notes for Bites. Unfortunately the CD case is currently hundreds of miles away at my parents' house, so I can't check the precise wording at the moment. Might be something to look into.– 67.43.92.191 15:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wilhelm Schroder -- aka Bill Leeb -- is most certainly in the liner notes for Bites.  He gets credited as a guest artist for playing bass synth on Ice Breaker and The Choke. DivisionByZer0 03:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Doom Generation 

message: I reverted the last few edits regarding the genre section.  Skinny Puppy has a totally different style from Glitch/Glitchcore. Furthermore, even the Glitchcore page needs serious work right now in regard to citing sources.  Also, while Skinny Puppy has taken minor influence from IDM music (as this article does point out), it does not make Skinny Puppy an IDM group.  Electronica is probably the farthest I would go.  Unless we can find some real sources that point out that Skinny Puppy is either genre (IDM or Glitch/Glitchcore), I would suggest leaving it off of the list.  Their more recent work is further from the styles of Glitch/Glitchcore, and that was a genre that was started in the 90s. Xe7al (talk) 09:24, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

message: To match the Industrial Portal, the importance for the WikiProject Canada should also be increased.  If "The group is widely considered the founders of the electro-industrial subgenre.[1]", I believe this article should be rated the same in the WikiProject Canadian music group.  If I am wrong, there are only 2 articles there now with this rating and somone will see it.

message: In the current version of the article, there is a citation and statement for the release day of In Solvent See in February 2011. However, a look on Amazon for the US list no releases of this album for any time. Canada and Germany (the former the home to Skinny Puppy, the latter where the publishing company exists) lists a "TBA" with no art or listings. Canada says it's to be released in May 2011. I do believe that this article's release date for In Solvent See should be considered wrong and updated, or at least listed as no confirmed release date. --Iwriteforme (talk) 08:19, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm just pointing out that Amazon says it won't be out this month in the US, Canada or Germany, and so far no one else seems to list the album coming out this month except those old posts. Even Skinny Puppy's website doesn't list the album as arriving soon. Synthetic Symphony's website is difficult to reach anymore, likely due to their insolvency issues. But as of right now, I see nothing other than those blog posts saying that the album will be released this month, and it's this month and retailers and the band itself don't seem to show that it will be released this month. --Iwriteforme (talk) 19:10, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello folks, 
I have spent the past few weeks editing and revamping several Skinny Puppy articles, including this one. So far I have expanded upon the "Styles and Themes" and "Influence" sections, and I plan on going over the "History" section (mainly to add some sorely needed references). I also plan on adding several photos to the article to make things look pretty.
I hope to see others here in the community help as well (these sorts of revisions require a lot of time and can be very draining). So please, add, subtract, or fix whatever you deem fit. After all, Skinny Puppy deserves a respectable article, no?--NoseyMoose (talk) 14:56, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
