Talk:Steam (band)

message: The White Sox own crap.  If you think that they "started" the "tradition" of using this song in sporting venues, you haven't gone very far out of Chicago. User:66.41.160.66 22:27, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Na Na Hey Hey is also sung at political events when demonstrating against an opposing candidate (usually one who is losing in the opinion polls).
In 1988, at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ, Republican protesters sang Na Na Hey Hey (several times) when Democratic Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis visited the campus.

thread_title: Revisions

message: Okay, first I'd like to say that I'm not familiar with the band, only with the song (and that as a cover) so I don't have any view on how "correct" this article is - however, it seems that it contains a lot of speculative or POV type statements, e.g.
:the song became a surprise smash hit
Surprising to whom?
:Fans began singing along, and playing the song during sporting events gradually became a tradition.
Source on this?
The discography section also needs cleanup to bring it into line with the manual of style and other band articles. Cheers. QmunkE 21:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

STLOUCS,
Again you ask who cares about such "a failed entity". I am not talking about the band "Steam" or the LP by the same name. The reason that Steam should have an article is the song "Na Na Hey Hey". As both of our articles indicate, the song was a hit and remains important in popular culture. So therefore, again, I am telling you that I care that the article gets it right and has references that actually mention the original musicians' names. --Fortheloveofhampsters 14:47, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page protection 

message: Hammer time!
First of all, I have two questions.
#Why is this article mostly about the band's "one-hit wonder" and not about the band itself? I saw where there was a previous version by User:RomeoVoid that was pretty good talking about the band and then he reverted himself. 
#Why isn't most of this content, which is about the song, not the band, at the song's entry? 
The way I see it, we should be fighting for why there's not more talk about the band here, not about their one hit song that already has an established article that covers pretty much the same things that this article does.  That's my POV. CQJ 17:55, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: STOP!

message: I heard that he play bass when they were in the studio reacording the first ever song of na na hey hey goodbye.... and I thought that they used shells bells and anthing they could find to play that song. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 169.244.46.130 (talk) 17:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  what about David Lalibete? 

message: This article has now been revised by one of the actual participants to the Na Na Hey Hey phenomenon - the drummer. Because I know Paul Leka, Joe Messina, and all the other people who were involved personally and I was signed to Mercury Records as a member of Steam, the information that I have put into this article is my personal experience when I was a member of the band. Hopefully, this will end the arguments on the subject of Steam, how it happened and what it really was - a musical accident that a few people were able to capitalize upon and exploit.
Signed, P.C. Van Vogt

thread_title:  We now have the testimony of an actual witness to these events 

message: Someone who claims to be DeCarlo keeps popping up on here and adding his personal comments on the article with no sources to back it up. It has happened at least three times on here and maybe more. I am not entirely sure what the process to lock or at least semi-lock an article is (I am not a mod) but if anyone on here has that power, could you look into this issue?Nighthawk418 (talk) 21:47, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
