replies: text: Profiling information on each member would be considered trivial (see WP:TRIVIA). This information is more of a fun thing for fans, not something that belongs in an encyclopedia. I must say, I doubt the brand of cigarettes the members smoke has any impact on the band. --Jacob Talk 16:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Member information 

message: They sound Punk Metal so I've decided to add that to the genres. It should be known that Visual Kei is a fashion style and subculture and is not related to the music's genre. Stating only Visual Kei as this band's genre is not appropriate.
Please give us examples why so. The genre will be removed for now. I never really listened to them in a while but I consider them as alternative metal and hard rock (it seems a bit obvious). Maybe metalcore but this is from a person who listened to them. NaotoATG 06:28, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Vandalism

message: I was wondering how come there's no band line-up for this article as it is not detailed or mentioned anywhere generally in the article either...  196.2.113.79 (talk) 19:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Band Line-Up?

message: There is no listing of a band line-up anywhere in the article. Also from listening to the GazettE for awhile now I can safely say that for their genres, it should say Funk Rock, Hard Rock and Nu Metal. As considering their music almost always has a funk feel to it, and considering that I think they fit the Nu Metal genre perfectly, because they sometimes mix Hip-Hop and Rap elements in their music, along with Metal music. Which would follow under Nu Metal...I added those genres now.
Kuro Banpaia (talk) 02:32, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree with nu metal, and that should be kept, but please attempt to find a source that explains them as a "nu metal" band explicitly. As far as funk goes, I see very little funk elements in their music. I've sample much of their catalog just now to listen, but there is barely any occurrence of what would be considered funk. It's nice to get some of these Japanese bands limited down to a real genre, but sourcing can be the tricky part. Japanese bands also tend to more freely suspend themselves between multiple genres. As far as the band line-up goes, I suppose it's just been overlooked, thanks for the tip! --Jacob Talk 19:10, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Band line-up and genres 

message: Well, I really do see some of their songs that have a funk rock feel to it, like the songs Manaatatakai Ame to Zaratsuita Jyounetsu, Silly God Disco, Shadow VI II I and more I can't remember. And their new album Stacked Rubbish has some songs that have rapping, and have funk elements. I just think funk rock, totally describes their uses of some rap rock, and sometimes hip-hop...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuro Banpaia (talk • contribs) 03:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say if anything, the terms rap rock and nu metal do enough to cover what you are talking about, as the songs you mention don't really have  a strong, twangy bass line with lots of groovy cymbal work. The funk feel has to be conveyed stronger instrumentally, whereas the vocal stuff will push on the nu metal side. --Jacob Talk 03:20, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Funk Rock 

message: it looks like you guys have been doing everything constructively but up until the genre, it seems to be all original research. look up official sites, and everything that proves all the genre's you placed. but it has to be a reviewer in music or there own official site.

thread_title:  Related genres 

message: After watching this article for sometime it seems it is a victim of fans labeling one or two songs a genre and then claiming that means the band is that genre. This is not how we determine a band's genre on Wikipedia, we use reliable sources. But there are no sources in the article that speak of the band's genre. This problem is perpetuated by the completely unsourced Musical style section, that lists a ridiculous amount of genres because of the reason stated in my first sentence. Per Template:Infobox_musical_artist#genre we have to "aim for generality", this means the band's genre is the genre that the bulk of their music is, not a complete list of genres that they dabbled in, as it currently sits. Therefore I think we should have a grace period for editors to look and find reliable sources for the genre claims, if none are added we have no choice but to completely remove the Musical style section and be as general as possible with the genres; Rock and heavy metal.

thread_title:  Genres revisited 

message: I consider to add seven genres.
I suggest: Alternative metal, nu metal, hard rock, progressive rock, punk rock, funk rock, metalcore.
I didn't add pop rock, experimental rock, experimental metal, industrial metal and other genre, because they play few songs based on these genres and Template:Infobox musical artist states it should "aim for generality".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.27.72.230 (talk) 01:34, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
