thread_title: L7?

message: I've heard the idea that L7 comes from the old slang term for square before, but I've also heards another theory which (to me, at least) makes just as much sense. The Chinese pictogram for woman can be seen as a stylised overlaid L and 7 (女). Is there any truth to the idea that this was at least in part the origin of the band's name? Grutness...wha? 04:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I can guarantee you it’s ‘50s slang.  I remember Suzie when she lived on Kodak maybe mid-‘85 coming over and telling us they’d come up with a name for their new band and using the L7 hand thing (make an L with one hand and a 7 with the other, for “square”).  Like in the lyrics of the song Wooly Bully.  I guess it was ironic, seemed like a cool name. 109.103.81.6 (talk) 17:04, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Another meaning of L7?

message: Hi. I'm wondering where do I find good L7 pictures galleries on the net, live or non-live pictures. Anyone??
thanks!
: I don't know right offhand {google images is a good place to start) but in regards to your use of the term "non-live" pictures, I presume you mean pictures of them off-stage, and not dead.  Right?  Generally speaking, pictures of bands not performing are referred to as "promotional"--promo for short--posed pictures.  (On-stage performance shots may also be used as  promos.)  The other type--impromptu pictures taken by paparazzi, fans or friends are called "candids."  The term "non-live" means, to me, you want pictures of them dead!--Subwoofer (talk) 08:19, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Any links of L7's pictures? 

message: The article states that L7 are incorrectly grouped with the Riot Grrrl movement, but when you follow the link to Riot Grrrl, the first band mentioned as being associated with that movement is... L7! Notb665 (talk) 05:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Riot Grrrls? 

message: Do you feel "Shove", "Shitlist", and "Andres" could have articles? I think at least Andres deserves one, but I want the opinion of whoever is in charge of L7 articles before I start any of them in fear of their deletion. --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 19:15, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment

message: Where do you kids get these crazy ideas?  I can’t even guess what would have qualified as art rock in Hollywood in 1984-85. Dirtbag rock would have been more like it.  The band kind of grew out of the Disgraceland scene. Raji’s, the Cathay, those places. Definitely not “Metal” clubs either-like what, Gazarri’s?  Man it is funny to see how Wikipedia gets things wrong!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.103.81.6 (talk) 17:15, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Errr...the only time "art punk" is mentioned in the article is at the beginning, before L7 was formed. According to Donita in the book She's a Rebel, herself and Suzi were involved in the "art punk" scene. There's nothing implying that L7 is "art punk". As for the "metal" tag, it's only mentioned in the article because other sources have called them "metal" in the past. Specifically, as one of the heavier more metal-like grunge bands. Gruntruck, early Alice in Chains, and Tad are similar in that respect. It doesn't mean L7 is strictly a metal band. I personally think they're punk and grunge all the way, and I think the article does a good job of conveying that. Xanarki (talk) 02:02, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
