Talk:Traveling Wilburys

message: Title of this has spelling error: travelling should be traveling. How does one change an entry title? user:JDG
I thought that there was a volume 2, but it was never released because Roy Orbison died, and they decided it should only go out after they all died. Ergo, volume 3. MShonle 02:26, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: I don't see what the White Album photo of George Harrison adds to the article; the timeframe is wrong and the famousness of the image in another context distracts.  The group photo is better and should be the featured one.  I've removed the George photo for now, if others disagree we can discuss here. Jgm 23:49, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: User:Wahkeenah seems upset to the point of Godwinizing the process about the removal of a bit of trivia.  Sorry you took offense to this; even in a "trivia" section a statement about one chord on one song on one Wilburys album seems too trivial.  Mentioning it on an article about the particular song, as you've now done, seems much more appropriate.  So, good show all around.  Jgm 17:53, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Tweeter and the Monkey Man was covered by a small Canadian band, The Headstones.  There's also a rock tribute band of that name, with a website at the title + .com.
Apparently Monkey Man is a known term in the blues world, at least according to this page at bobdylan.com: "In the Travelin' Wilburys' late-80s Dylan song 'Tweeter And the Monkey Man', 'Tweeter' might be new but "the monkey man" is straight from the blues world. One strategy for surviving the semi-itinerant life was for the male blues singer to attach himself to a sexy woman who could also cook and make money; in effect he would then rent her out to a "monkey man" - a dupe who would give her money and gifts in the mistaken belief that he alone was her love-object: money that would end up in the bluesman's pocket." Just thought I'd mention these bits here, in case anyone else ever wants to know. ;-) JesseW, the juggling janitor 08:14, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Isn't that a picture of a pirated compilation? If so it's hardly appropriate. It's also creased. If an album scan is acceptable under Fair Use couldn't someone scan the cover of, say, Volume 1? --kingboyk 22:09, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Picture 

message: The article states "Volume 3 as a nod of recognition to bootleggers who had issued 'Volume 2' containing early studio mixes/alternate takes" but I've read on several sites that it was because Tom Petty's album, Full Moon Fever was unofficially subtitled volume 2, as George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne also colaborated together with Petty on that. I've also read, though less frequently, that the skipping of volume 2 was to pay tribute to Roy Orbison's passing. I've searched around and can't find anything definitive to prove or disprove any of the three suggestions. Does anyone have something that authenticates one of the stories? If not, I'd like to add a section that briefly discusses all three possibilities.
:Nothing really to add except that I'm sure I remember reading an interview with TP shortly after Orbison's death in which he said something like 'There can't/won't be a Volume 2 without Roy Orbison'
:Something definitely needs to be said about this, because it's rather confusing to read the article with text only regarding Vol. 1 & 3. --Belg4mit 21:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the assertion that being number one in this chart was even more important, apart from the incorrect grammar, would it really be any more important than top ten in the billboard chart or #1 in the UK chart. I will bow to a higher authority but i personally dont agree.Eisner 09:51, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone feel it is worth commenting on how or why the band has misspelled their name? LogicalOctopus (talk)
:: They haven't. Using a single "l" in the first word is ok in the US although not traditionally in the UK; ending the second word "ys" rather than "ies" is ok on both sides of the pond when the word is a name (eg: if the family name was Petty then you would refer to them as the Pettys, not the Petties). Sitush (talk) 02:27, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the single l is more common in the U.S. Obviously they had to compromise. 207.210.134.83 (talk) 15:36, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Misspelling of the Name 

message: Someone (not me) added a link on 17 Jan to the Wilburys videos on Rhino's site, but the link was later removed by MER-C.  It seems to me that since the videos were on a legitimate site (not YouTube or a blog), run by the band's current label, that this link was a valid addition.  Unless someone knows of a Wikipedia policy against all video links, I think this one should be reinstated. EJSawyer (talk) 21:55, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Videos 

message: Unlike The Beatles or The Rolling Stones, the Traveling Wilburys did not use the definite article "the" before their name on any of their published works.  See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name).
It appears this page was initially moved on the basis of the title of the 2007 release The Traveling Wilburys Collection and the incorrect notion that "The Traveling Wilburys" was a possessive pronoun (it would have read The Traveling Wilburys' Collection if that was the case) rather than an adjective. Piriczki (talk) 11:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Your analysis seems to be accurate. The article was recently moved, and the editor didn't discuss it. I support a move back to Traveling Wilburys. -FrankTobia (talk) 03:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Indeed, looking at the CD next to me (the 2007 collection fwiw) it's just Travelling Wilburys.  Skimming this Talk page also turns up a quote on bobdylan.com which doesn't use The either.  The move back seem correct to me. Caomhin (talk) 08:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I've removed The Beatles, Electric Light Orchestra, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers from the "Associated acts" section in the infobox. Per Template:Infobox musical artist#associated_acts, they do not belong here as only one member from this supergroup was part of each of these bands. That alone does not make them associated. 216.163.247.1 (talk) 20:50, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that's probably correct, at least if one takes the three acts at face value. I wonder, though, whether someone added them to Associated acts because Jeff Lynne produced two singles for the "reunited" Beatles in 1994–95, and over 1991–92 he produced and performed on an album (Into the Great Wide Open) by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as well as their contribution ("Christmas All Over Again") to Jimmy Iovine's A Very Special Christmas 2.

message: Either their name begins with The or it doesn't. I'm taking this word away from the beginning of the article because it doesn't belong.
If you believe it does belong, then FIRST get the title of the article changed. Until then, leave it out. TooManyFingers (talk) 06:03, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
