message: This violates the NPOV. It is clearly from Nugent's POV. The other members of the band, such as singer Steve
Farmer, viewed the band differently.
----
Please provide more information as to what particularly is NPOV, and what can be done to fix it.  Without that no work can be done.  As it stands right now, it seems the article simply has a focus on Nugent because he is the bands leadman and the most famous member of the band.  Also, the author does not clearly bias the article towards Nugent's point of view, he simply states what Nugent though.  And also, please sign your comments.  Lordthees 18:42, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Well before the music group, the Amboy Dukes were a notorious gang of street toughs. Their fictionalized story was present in a novel of the Same name. The name of the author escapes me.

thread_title:  A possible Reunion in 2009? 

message: None of the lineups for the band include guitarist Steve Farmer.  If you click on the "Journey to the Center of the Mind" album link, it talks extensively about his contributions to that album.  It says that he wrote all the songs.  Was he not a member of the band?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.207.237.10 (talk) 16:44, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

But that's not exactly true, it comes from a defunct Detroit band which was named after the book, and Ted Nugent thought that sounded cool and used it. He'd never heard of the book. So it really comes at one remove from the book. I've got three sources saying that, but none are what you would consider reliable, so... it's just that as stated it implies that someone in the band knew of the book, which they didn't.

message: I noticed that this article and articles for the Amboy Dukes' studio albums have templates requesting expansion. These were all added in May 2023 by one editor, RockabillyRaccoon, who is currently blocked indefinitely. 
It seems to me that these articles are of a respectable length considering their notability. My inclination is to remove these templates but I wanted to consult others first. On some of the articles for the studio albums, the editor also added templates that the article relies heavily on one source. This is true, but is it that big of a deal considering their lack of historical importance? Should the articles perhaps be removed considering Wikipedia's notability guidelines for music?
