Talk:Tré Cool

message: ZDFH
This article needs to be rewritten to express a NPOV.  The article, especially the "Role in the Band" section reads like a fan page.

:Hi Slayer, your edit was removed because it violate's Wikipedia' premise of a Neutral Point of View. Stating that Tre is the ultimate drummer is a personal opinion (or the opinion of a select few, and not the majority) violates that policy. Happy Editing! Kareeser|Talk! 00:09, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Do we really need to have the part where it says that it is "implied" that Tre can play guitar? He actually CAN play guitar, its confirmed: He is the guitarist in 'All By Myself' and 'Like A Rat Does Cheese'. There are pictures of him playing guitar at the DC101 interview where he played 'Like A Rat Does Cheese' too. If anyone is still not convinced, I'll be glad to send out the picture :] Acidophilisation 21:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Guitar? 

message: I realise that some of the music has swearing in it, but does an encyclopedia need to have that in it?
Also, there are some spelling and grammar mistakes that need to be run through spell check.
:Dude you sound like my grandma..seriously..
::Please sign your comments!
::I ran a spell check through the article, as requested.  The only debatable spelling is in this paragraph:
::About his influences, Tré confesses that he is mostly influenced by the legendary Keith Moon,  whom he idolizes and who is a clear inspiration over his own drumming duties. He also says that as well as admiring his other favourite drummers like Charlie Watts and Ginger Baker, he also endeavours to stand on his own and be an original and stand-out drummer.
::I suppose you could mean the words "Favourite" and "Endeavours" which are the British-English spellings of the words, and are completely acceptable.  Please let us know exactly what you perceive as "spelling and grammar mistakes" and I'll get right on it!--Jude 23:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Amazingly, this article manages to contradict itself. It says that "Tré does, however, have some songwriting credits and vocals on the band's albums. He wrote/sang the bonus track "All by Myself" on Dookie..." (Role In Green Day). However, the trivia section says that "Tré Cool did not actually write the song All by Myself. Billie Joe did." Evidently these sections were added by different authors. I'd have corrected it myself, however I'm unsure which one is actually true. So, if possible, could anyone get onto fixing this? Lukasa 20:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The information is still debatable.  As I heard it, when dookie first came out, "All By Myself" was written by Billie Joe, performed by Tré Cool.  I think it would be best to say that Tré sings and plays guitar on the track, and not mention who wrote it.  Thank you for pointing that out!--Jude 23:27, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Let's clear this up. Is he actually half German and half American to be included in the German - Americans category or is he "German" because his father was an american soldier stationed in Germany? If this is actually the case, he definitely should be in this category.  Norum (talk) 23:20, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the German (BRD) Authrities used to have a rigid policy on nationality. If you were like 20 or so amounts of generations away from Germany, you would be entitled to a German passport merely for existing. Seems liberal, but that was just half of it. Up until 1998, just being born in Germany was never good enough for having a (non-naturalized) Nationality of Germany, and it did take some cleaning up from the Chancellor of that time: Gerhard Schröder.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.89.69.179 (talk) 01:11, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It certainly makes sense to refer to him as German American. The article and its references are unclear as to whether he was born to a soldier stationed in Germany or who had relocated there; the fact that he grew up in California strongly suggests the former. He's categorized as an American (of German descent), so it makes little sense to just refer to him as German in the lede. I'm changing it to German American. --BDD (talk) 16:43, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: His dad fought in the Vietnam war and was seemingly called Frank Edwin Wright Jr., so I'd say he was stationed in Germany when his son (Tré) was born. His mum's nationality, and his dad's ultimate ancestry, is less clear.--MartinUK (talk) 21:30, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  German-American? 

message: There's a note at the beginning of the bio section that states he is the youngest member of the band. I don't challenge the accuracy of the statement, but I don't think its notable enough to warrant mentioning, especially at the beginning of the article. As all 3 members of the band were born in the same year (1972), to say they are all the same age carries a more accurate connotation than saying one is the youngest, which implies a somewhat significant age gap. Maybe if they were brothers it would be relevant, but they are not (to my knowledge) related in any way. It would be one thing if he were born in 72 and the other 2 guys with born in the mid-60s, or in the 80s, but as it is it seems like a pretty irrelevant piece of trivia.Aoystreck (talk) 07:27, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Started to do a little cleanup but this one looks like a complete overhaul would be in order. There are fan sites used as references and it reads like a fan website itself.

message: I thought I'd talk about this before making the edit, but the infobox lists his origin as Willits, California. I know it's pretty close by, but didn't he actually grow up in Laytonville?
