message: Shouldn't all this stuff be under Fugazi_(band), and the proper page for the actual military slang Fugazi?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.144.249.26 (talk) 14:59, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Huh? Why is the main page for some band named after the concept, rather than being for the concept itself?

message: WorldofFugazi.org — A fugazi fan site ///--- the link seems to be dead (its the last one i think)
ae you serious? what about 13 songs? whoever wrote this never even listened to fugazi. douche
:13 songs is listed in the combined editions. Fugazi never entered the studio to record "13 songs", 13 songs is a combination of other EP.Diego.tercero (talk) 14:09, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

message: "Picciotto originally only sang, Picciotto likened his role for the first two years, as that of a toaster but quickly incorporated his guitar playing into the quartet."
How, exactly, did Guy behave like a toaster?  Can anyone provide a quote from him or from a book explaining this quote in more detail?
"Initially, the early stuff was predominantly put together by Ian and Joe as the stuff they had been working on prior to Brendan and I joining the band, and for the first 2 years I didn't play guitar but functioned almost like a toaster - doing back-ups, singing lead and dancing around. But once I started playing guitar the way we write changed dramatically - it became completely democratic with every song bearing everyone's imprint."

replies: text: Perhaps he meant in the Reggae sense where the MC's add additional lyrics over existing songs. This is just a guess as Fugazi clearly have Reggae influences - the electrical toaster idea just doesn't make any sense. Paul Tew 12:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I did think that but couldn't really see how it fitted with the article, you are right though it does make more sense that that of an electrical toster. XdiabolicalX 19:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

message: What's with the allmusic entry of Fugazi being named "afghan w"? Take this review for example. A Fugazi album, right? Now click on their name. It leads to here, which is the artist info for Fugazi (check the biography and such), however, the name at the top if "afghan w". Did somebody hack Allmusic or something? -albrozdude 23:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: How is Fugazi a backronym? It's an acronym just like SNAFU. There's nothing "back" about it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BNutzer (talk • contribs) 
: Check an etymology dictionary: it's a backronym because the word predates the abbreviation, which was made up to fit.  I believe this is in Partridge, but I'm on the road today, and I'll try to post a reference tomorrow.  I reverted to "backronym".  bikeable (talk) 06:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fugazi IS

message: This article needs to rely on a variety of (primary) sources.  Look at the notes section: currently 12 out of the 15 notes are from one source, Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground.
Thousands of articles have been written about the band  and they've done well over a thousand (maybe 2,000-3,000) interviews throughout the last 22 years.
Use a primary source instead of regurgitating one or a few books!  A good place to start: washingtoncitypaper.com which has the full text of all articles from 1995 to the present.  That paper has been writing about the band since the start (circa 1987-1988).
:Primary sources should actually be avoid whenever possible. What you want for a well-written, well-referenced article are secondary sources. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:01, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Poor Sourcing/Poor Research

message: When I was a kid and tapes and records were still bought at stores, there was always this thing on the back of Fugazi albums that said "if this album costs more than 7 dollars, send 7 dollars to Dischord records, and we'll send you the record."  I always thought that was the coolest thing in the world.  And they would actually do it, too.  (I know, because I did it once.)  There should be some mention of that, because that was and is absolutely unheard of amongst musicians and music publishers.  Mention of it should be added somewhere.  I can't say where.  Veteran Fugazi wikipedia editors have at it--that's my suggestion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.127.11.118 (talk) 03:35, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Refused $10 million from Atlantic 

message: About 800 live shows were taped throughout Fugazi's run, and they are now available on the Dischord website.  NY Times did an article about it that was on the front page of nytimes.com; the Fugazi wikipedia page should probably include at least a mention.

message: Given the unlikelihood of Fugazi (realistically) ever getting back together and making more music, might it be appropriate to speak of the bands existence in the past tense?, e.g. :Fugazi WAS an American post-hardcore band" (instead of IS.)  Perhaps yes.Cromulant (talk) 04:19, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Some entries in Wikipedia include a section on appearance in other cultural forms. "Fugazi" appears on the t-shirt of Neckbone, one of the boys in the movie MUD. Not sure where or how to add this. 2601:9:3A00:D4:251B:A2EC:5F0E:AD79 (talk) 03:51, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  We don't need a timeline for fugazi 

message: Looking through the revision history, you can find a few edits removing "on hiatus" from the "Years active" section.  has the summary "Seriously? Since 2003?", and I get the impression that the other edits were made with the same thing in mind: it's ridiculous to say that a band that hasn't played together for 15 years is just on hiatus.
I don't think it's too ridiculous. If a band says they're not broken up, I'd say they're not broken up. And since "on hiatus" keeps getting added back in, I think others are in aggreement. Still, it's something that's come up a few times, so it seems like it deserved a discussion topic.
Even if we agree that they are on hiatus, though, there might be a problem. Template:Infobox musical artist#years active says  I'm not sure if this is to make it machine readable or something? But it does allow the word "present" as an exception, for currently active bands/artists. Is this a problem? Languorrises (talk) 01:12, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
