Talk:TISM

message: The Article SAYS, that TISM retired in 2004, as Hitler-Barassi said that the band was too tired to continue their wild pranks. The Years Active said 1984-present, but if the article says that they retired in 2004, it should read Years Active: 1984-2004. I fixed that for now, but if there is proof that they're still active, post a reason why it should read 1984-present, instead of just changing it back.
:Yes, that is what the article says, however the band have not said "We have split up for good" and neither has their record label. Until that happens, I am reasonably secure in the thought that they are still a band who are "together", reasons for this include the fact that after The White Albun "Save Our TISM" concert, the band didn't rase enough money to stay together and hence "split up" at the end of the show. However, the DVD-Rom has a .pdf with a bunch of lyrics which chronicles growing frustrations within the band then their split and eventual re-formation stating "TISM are back". Add to this the fact that they played at Earthcore in 2005 and the fact that the "Save our TISM" concert was recorded in 2003 and they were together for all of 2004, would also lead me to beleive that they did not split up, but they are meerly taking one of their long hiatus's which they are known to do. A look at http://www.tism.com.au/tourdates/index.html will show TISM have performed, on average, only 15 gigs a year. Some years none. So them not playing gigs at the moment does not make them a now defunct band. Also, this quote from Humphrey seems to satify any doubt as to whether TISM will return:
::"It’s a little bit like a continually dislocating shoulder (if) you’ve done it once there is always the fear that you will do it again. There is a weakness in the joint. So it is with TISM. ... indeed we will keep coming back. The improvements in medical technology over the years will ensure that it is quite possible that we will be working well into the next century. So every three years like a recurring bout of dyspepsia you will see us." 
:and this quote, from a fan (amidst all the other 'have they split up' speculation) reads:
::"I know a guy who is in TISM. They haven't split, there all just doing other things and leaving the possibility open to more gigs down the line. I think he said they have a book coming out." 
:That post was from "Apr 05, 06" which looks positive to me.
:As for the note in the article which says 'TISM are "too tired" to continue their wild pranks and their current status could best be described as retirement' seems to be more along the lines of a flowery prose than an encyclopaedic entry. The interview from Jay And The Doctor which that "too tired" Ron Hitler-Barassi quote supposedly came from is not availiable at the Triple J website, and as such, unverifiable. The evedence that TISM seem to be a band which have not split up, in my opinion, outweighs the evedence to say TISM have actually split up.
:In light of this information, I beleive the article to be correct in saying their status is 1982-present and until substantial evedence to the contrary is proven, I beleive it should continue to say 1982-present.

replies: text: From Blackmans death, I'd say the hiatus was more a product of their guitarists battle with cancer, not sure if that should be included.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.169.39 (talk) 01:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

text: If you mean this video, its from 2004. According to the tism tourdates section of their website (now offline) there were around 10or so gigs in 2004. So far I havent heard of anything from TISM this year. The video hasn't got a year date on it, but its safe to assume its from around the time of The White Albun's release (2004) and the tour happened at that same time. Gohst 23:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Gohst I didnt realise the info on the website was that old....kinda assumed it was this year....might explain why the dates and days didnt match up.... damnit. Cheers for the info, regards.--Theinnerexits 09:49, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Member Pages

message: The line in the article "though it should be noted there have only ever been seven members of the band; clearly, names have been switched" seems to have no solid evedence. I don't think it's true, I think band members left for whatever reason they had. Family, career, boredom, etc. and a new member with a new stage name was introduced. If there is any proof of this being true, I'll leave it there but for now I'm taking it away. For example, in the FasterLouder interview at the bottom of the main atricle, Humphrey admits Leak Van Vlalen was "all over Hot Dogma" and he "had to go". And on the fold out cover for www.tism.wanker.com, Leak does not appear. He has been replaced by (I beleive) Tokin Blackman and a casual listen will show the guitar parts to be quite different. Even though a guitarist can definately change his style I think it more likely indicates a change of musician in this case. So in closing, I think the line in the TISM article quoted above is pure poppycock and should be removed. Anyone got any objections? Gohst 07:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I just want to thank you but for using the word poppycock! I was trying to think of that word the other day but couldn't remember it. I was searching for bobbycot and the like lol. DarkSideOfTheSpoon 03:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Some of the names which TISM members have chosen to name themselves are often quite complex, with some of them linking commonly known items or people to others of a lesser known stature to create a unique and humorous term. Some of their names and what they mean have been:
*Ron Hitler-Barassi - whose name links the explosively tempered Australian Rules player and coach Ron Barassi with dictator Adolf Hitler (Barassi was also nicknamed "Hitler" by some sections of the public during his career).
*Humphrey B. Flaubert - linking popular Australian children's TV host Humphrey B. Bear with French novelist Gustave Flaubert.
*Eugene De La Hot-Croix Bun - linking French painter Eugène Delacroix with a popular Easter snack, the Hot Cross Bun (or "Hot Croix Bun," in French).
*Tony Coitus - linking actor Tony Curtis and his notorious sexual escapades with Coitus, the term for sexual intercourse.
*Les Miserables - who takes his name from the novel of the same name. To be said phonetically, to resemble 'Les', a shortening of Leslie or Lester, as opposed to the French pronunciation.
*Genre B. Goode - linking the term Genre with popular rock song Johnny B. Goode.
*Tokin' Blackman - a play on the belief that nearly everything has a "Token Black" man. May also be a reference to radio and television presenter John Blackman.

After some time, I went searching for the quote, your site came up and I figured it would do. However after a while, the original reference was inserted and your site was just left there. Now that the original ref is there, the secondary source does seem redundant (and not to mention paradoxical) and has now been heave-hoed. Problem solved. Cheers. -Gohst 01:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
