Talk:Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra

message: Can anyone tell me what's the name of the bird appeared on some of ASMZ's album covers, Efrim's guitar and tattoos on few of the members? 24.87.7.121 22:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I asked Jessica about it after their show last night, she says there isn't any particular meaning she's aware of, aside from that they like birds.  She also said that her own bird tattoos (on each shoulder blade) are a "personal thing" unrelated to the band. Pimlottc 13:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: What's the Bird?

message: Is an A Silver Mt. Zion template really necessary?  Every single link can be found on the band's page, it looks fairly messy, and the majority of the members don't even have their own pages.  I'll leave it alone for now for simplicity's sake, but can anyone give justification to its existence?  Nievved 03:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought it would look rather good.  Lots of bands seem to have them with only 2 or 3 releases, and it's always something that can be expanded on in the future. Lugnuts 10:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  References 

message: The structure of this article is very poor.  The Overview section is disorganized, and inconsistent.  Also, the Discography is pitiful.  It needs to be completely re-done.  I do not have a lot of time, and cannot do it all at once, but if no one else wants to attempt it, I can manage it slowly.  I think the band deserves better representation than this.  Any suggestions? --–m.f (t • c) 13:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Structure 

message: Okay, I restructured the article mostly though there's still loads more that needs adding. I will try and do this in the next month or so unless someone beats me to it. However, I think the article should be renamed "Silver Mt Zion" to reflect the new content. "A Silver Mt. Zion" was the name of the band during the first album and this subsequently went through many changes. Putting simply "Silver Mt Zion" covers the band a lot better avoiding some confusion. It's also what their record label calls them for shorthand.
It may seem trivial but this is my favourite band and I think they deserve to be recognised properly as a matter of respect. I don't want to go ahead and change it right away as I want to get some opinion first. However, if I don't hear back in the next few weeks, I'll go ahead and sort out a re-direct.
How do we get the article elevated to a better class (assuming it's of that calibre now)?

replies: text: Def. needs some consensus.  The article has one name (A Silver Mt. Zion), the lead-in text has another (Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-La-La Band) and the infobox a third (Silver Mt. Zion). Lugnuts (talk) 18:31, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're going to go with "Silver Mt Zion" as the name throughout the article, then you should name the article that way. Having the full name as title is not completely accurate and looks untidy and terrible.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.240.213.148 (talk) 03:53, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, having the full name as the title is completely accurate; having anything else as the title would be inaccurate. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 07:10, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: As of last year, the band has changed their name to Thee Silver Mt. Zion.  How should we account for this in the title of the article? Miuq (talk) 13:43, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I renamed the article.  Wknight94 talk 14:42, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

text: OK, I'm confused! What's their offical name now?! Lugnuts (talk) 09:40, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Their websites lists "Thee Silver Mt. Zion" and "Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra Band". Pick one, I guess. Rocketsfall (talk) 21:19, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Officially it is Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra. That's what's on their latest album, that's what's on the concert tickets, and that's what their record label says (they only use shorter varieties as shorthand). http://cstrecords.com/thee-silver-mt-zion/ 79.160.162.153 (talk) 00:45, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is this article still named "Thee Silver Mt. Zion"? They have released albums under many different varieties of the name, but this is a variety they never have used officially, and there's no reason for it being the name the article is under.79.160.162.153 (talk) 22:27, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, I'm moving it. - Wetdogmeat (talk) 01:36, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

text: Actually just remembered that the "Thee" version is also used on 13 Blues. So if only one of the versions should be listed, then I'd go with the one that has been used the most.128.39.244.113 (talk) 13:10, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bandname Change 

message: Are they Zionists? Thierry Amar is a typically Zionist name (Sephardic, 99.9% of whom happen to be Zionist Israel lovers). And who would insert the word "zion" in their band name, no matter the context --184.161.152.198 (talk) 21:33, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't imagine an arabian or moslem band have the word ZION in their name. It has indeed a poetic relation to zionism --184.161.152.198 (talk) 03:07, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The genres listed aren't enough, I think. I personally would hesitate calling the band post-rock, but that's just my opinion. Anyhow, anyone agree we should list chamber music as one of the genres? None of the genres listed necessarily reflect the orchestral aspect of their music, and I think because the music is more orchestral than, for example, GY!BE, that aspect deserves recognition (and should be listed). —Polynilium (talk) 12:25, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
