Talk:Eraserheads

message: I suggest to transfer the "Others" section or its listed songs to their respective writer's page, e.g. Domino band and the Pacquiao song does not even relate to the eheads anymore as these songs were produced after the eheads or they were solo efforts (outside the eheads) of the involved member/s.Magasin (talk) 03:58, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Gosh I'm so glad things are moving forward with this article. We have hope for a Featured status Phil band article! PerryV's a godsend haha. Moonwalkerwiz must be so happy as well. And about the Fuck U!, you can just leave the statement interpreting Pop U! as such and then leave a  tag so that who knows, an anon ip who has a ref will add it. Here in Wikipedia, everything's up in the air. Berserkerz Crit 18:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ha ha! :-D I'm not really a godsend, I'm just a "mama send" :-P Anyway, I'm also hoping for an FA for this article. Imagine if The Eraserheads became a featured article on Wikipedia. That would generate some media frenzy, as they would dub this event "yet another milestone in Philippine music history". Ha ha ha, just daydreaming  :-D  -- Perryv 03:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, and after the media frenzy, the band members will be so pressured that we'll actually lead them to a reunion concert! Haha! Just imagine, we were the ones who made the Eraserheads reunite because Perryv was sent here by God or by her mama or whoever devil?! All right, that's enough. This is not a forum. Serious editors will kill me. Moonwalkerwiz 06:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

** Circus
** Cutterpillow
** Fruitcake
* International acclaim (The band's tour overseas; reception abroad; MTV award; local awards)
** Sticker Happy
** Aloha Milkyway
** Natin99 and Carbon Stereoxide(The band's decline? Maybe deserves another section. Sandwich formation in 1998...)

** Commerce (Commercial jingles and ads.)
** Internet (Fansites; official mailing list; the recent increase in page hits of Eheads-related sites. Eraserheads in Wikipedia?)

Comments? --Perryv 05:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. We can start working on this one. It's hard to see where we could encounter problems until we start it. We'll just make adjustments along the way. I think we should redirect the discography, publications and awards to a separate article, like The Beatles discography. The audio samples, we leave them in the main article like The Beatles'. And I also suggest to add more of them, just to show how diverse their music is.  We should add songs like "Maskara," and "Andalusian Dog" to show their harder, grittier side. "Maling Akala" and "Policewoman" could show their reggae sound. Plus some songs with surreal lyrics like "Scorpio Rising." The samples should show their musical depth and diversity in English and Filipino. The Influence on popular culture section looks good. We can leave out Lifestyle for the moment. We can gather information on the band's influence on other bands and put it under Music and songwriting. I've read so many band interviews where band members cite Eraserheads as their influence. Zach Lucero, for example, of Imago and Ebe Dancel (obviously!). There should be plenty of resources for the Commerce section. But I think the Internet section is the best idea you've come up with so far, Perryv. If we could show, establish this recent resurgence of the Eraserheads fame that is relected on the internet, that would be great. Maybe there's an article written about that in Philmusic? That's all. Now the most difficult part, doing it. Moonwalkerwiz 05:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the comment :-) As for PhilMusic, I read editor Jim Ayson's comment in the eheads official mailing list that their site hits rose last january-february because of recent news on and related to the eheads. --Perryv 06:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yet another proposed outline 

message: Eraserheads Draft
I created a raw draft for the "new and improved" Eraserheads article. What do you think? Post your comments and suggestions here. You can also freely modify the draft. --Perryv 06:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, that's great, very great!! :-D I'm going to add fresh information and recast some paragraphs mainly for readability and NPOV purposes. :-)  --Perryv 13:34, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

text: The draft has too many pictures. I think we should only have one picture for each section, one for Early years, one for Breakthrough and fame, and one for International acclaim. I'm comparing it to the The Beatles article. That article has 12 pictures, ours has 10 pictures already, though we haven't filled up the other half yet. I think we should leave the Ultraelectromagneticjam picture for the Early years section to show how the members looked like in their debut. Then Cutterpillow for the Breakthrough and fame, because it turned gold even before it hit the record stores. For the International acclaim section, let's put the Aloha Milkyway album pic since it was release in the Asian region. Moonwalkerwiz 02:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

text: My mistake, we should leave Ultraelectromagneticjam and Cutterpillow albums for the breakthrough and fame section. Moonwalkerwiz 02:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good job. I just slapped those pictures just to illustrate the idea of an album by album approach to the band's history. I would like to ask you guys to fill some of the album sections with more information as some are pretty thin. It doesn't look good. =/ I'll do more work once finals week are over can't do much now. Berserkerz Crit 11:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Initial Draft

message: I was the one who edited out the Ely's health section twice. It just didn't seem to fit. One editor mentioned its importance relating to a possible E'heads reunion. I believe this should have its own section, and it's not reason enough to create a redundant entry on Buendia's health (especially when he has his own page).
I'm refraining from doing any more edits relating to this. Edit wars are not my thing. I've seen a draft on a new Eheads page, and it looks pretty good. Anyway I've explained my side, and you've explained yours, and I think that's fair enough. I hope you understand that my edits were done without any malicious intent, I'm just here to explain why I've done it.121.97.198.40 09:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem. I understand somewhat your point. I do see the logic in not including it but I think I have a compromise. I'll try to talk to the other editors about it. In the meantime, if you want, you can help edit the draft. We're trying not to change this version anymore instead, we do the change in one big edit after completing the draft. Please do create an account because it would be easier to talk and discuss these issues with us so we can come up with a consensus. Berserkerz Crit 13:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone should create an article about the Eraserheads' influence and impact on the Philippine Culture/Music. This is actually the only thing missing from the article.

thread_title:  Impact on Philippine Culture/Music 

message: During the fame and glory of the Eraserheads, there has been a controversy that was exposed by several (fanatically) religious groups. They are proclaiming that Eraserheads are Anti-Christ and several backmasked songs from their album is used as an evidence. The song "Overdrive" can be backmasked by converting to wav and editing the file with the Microsoft Sound Recorder and by selecting the Effects>Reverse Menu box. In a part of the song, when played in reverse, It says "P*ta mo Hesus". more information can be found here  Triadwarfare (talk) 14:23, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
