Talk:Chevelle/Archive 1

message: Chevelle is actually clasified as a Christian Rock band in many different situations. Although I listen to all of their albums, I cannot say that they have put out any songs directly related to Christianity. I will add this to the article, also, Chevelle is the best flippin band of all time, gah! --Zeerus 13:02, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
So, they're not really Christian Rock?
:The Wretched
Ok here is the story how I heard it: "Chevelle signed to a Christian label in the their early years, and so some of their music ended up in Christian Music shops. But as they changed music label they entered the mainstream industry." I also read somewhere they call them selfs "recovering catholic's".
I Also googled for some information that my help someone who wants to expand the wiki entry:
http://www.christianitytoday.com/music/glimpses/2004/thistypeofthinking.html - Telling the story I typed out in the top paragraph :P
http://christianmusic.about.com/od/specialreports/a/aacrossovrer.htm - Just pointing out Chevelle is classified as secular/mainstream band but they say they are Christians.
I do feel we need to add a section to the Chevelle entry to explain why they are sometimes labeled as a Christian rock band.

Chevelle are in fact Christians, but only some songs clarify that therefore they arent a Christian "band" Skeeker 21:46, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

message: is it appropriate to have a gig schedule on this article, i think we should remove it...
I don't think a gig schedule is necessary either. I think it's OK to say they're "currently on tour" and maybe link to a gig schedule though. But Wikipedia isn't a gig schedule itself. Unless someone could prove otherwise that it's OK, I'm just gonna remove it for now. 
Also, I put a caption indicating who was who for the pic, but it was removed by another person... probably since it might have been screwing up the "years active" thing, from what it seems in the history. Hopefully, it won't do that again though. Either way, I think it should be indicated who is who, as to avoid confusion that one of the members in the picture is actually Dean Bernadini, unless an updated photo of the new band lineup is available to replace the current one.

message: I don't really buy that "KICKED OUT" thing on Joe's status, as he was dismissed by "irreconcilable differences". I'll attempt to remove that.
With good reason, Chevelle has chose to keep the specific reasons of Joe's departure to themselves. It's kept very vague and basic, saying that he was "relieved of his duties as bassist," "due to 'irreconcilable differences.'" Interpret that however you wish, but from that it does sound like it was a matter of him being booted, rather than him leaving. It's very unfortunate; I really liked his style of bass playing. But I'm sure that decision is for the best. --Shaun77 22:01, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Member Status

message: I'd like someone to justify the section comparing Chevelle's sound to Tool. Other than a passing resemblence to Maynard's angsty vocals, there is absolutely no similarity in terms of odd time signatures, bass driven songs, creepy ambience, etc. I'm tempted to delete this section unless someone strongly objects... -Petey 20:49, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sounds like Tool? 

message: I just made a few edits, just to make it sound a little more timeless. I also deleted the part about the christian rock label, but it looks like it used to be a bit more explained, so if somebody wants to put the old paragraph regarding that back feel free. I don't really know why it was deleted, actually.
Is it Christian Rock? It's not listed as Christian Rock in the List of Christian Rock Artists. Or were they just signed to a Christian Label?
:The Wretched
I think that they are a Chrisitan band, but very much involved in the secular mainstream, much like P.O.D.
I, being a devoted fan of Chevelle, do not agree that they are a "Christian band." It's likely that from a religious standpoint, they are Christian, but it does not come through clearly in their lyrics. True, their first album, Point #1 had a few Biblical references, namely in "Long." But outside of that one song, they really do not incorporate religious views in their lyrics. --Shaun77 21:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone please edit this, or add sources to verify. 
Many agree that he has one of the best voices in hard rock to date.

message: I could have sworn I heard that Chevelle was splitting up...? Was that ever imminent? --Discharger12 04:58, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split Up 

message: First of all, the main article is way too short for a band of this prominence. I don't know enough about the band to add a detailed history, but somebody should definitely expand this. Secondly, Chevelle's first two albums, Point #1 and Wonder What's Next, were both sold in Christian bookstores and Point #1 was released on a Christian label. So at one point, they were definitely classified as a Christian band, though more in the P.O.D. sense of the word. Roofi's Publicist 02:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I've had a look, and there were some promotional photos I found, but they had small text down the side of them that said they could only be used in newspapers, regular publications and television networks, so I'm guessing that means we can't use them here.

message: the only things i know about whether chevelle being a christian band is pretty much what i have read on here. BUT, i have my own opinion on it. i read on here that only like two songs of theirs have biblical references, but i do not beleive that to be true. i know The Red seems to have biblical reference, maybe not directly, but the meaning reminds me of what its like to be a christian. The Clincher also has the same thing, "Could we have known
Never would I, helped to nail down
With nothing to gain
Here's the clincher, this should be you" -© Chevelle To me, this reminds me of what Jesus did, or had done to him, he was "nailed down" for our sins! (whether or not u blieve this to be true is irrelevent to my discussion) but we as humans all deserve that, death and eternal separation from God as payment for our sins, therefore, "Here's the clincher, THIS should be you!" is quite relevent. that is just two of the songs that i see christianity showing through. so maybe they arent a Christian band, but we can see that their songs tend to talk about things that refer to Christian ideal and or beliefs. So i think it should at least be talked about that they have biblical reference.
sorry for the lack of punctuation in this. haha.

:Pretty sure that in "The Clincher", Pete Loeffler was actually somehow talking about an episode where, while they were on tour, Sam Loeffler's claustrophobia was aggravated and there were some scary moments or something like that. That's at least what I heard when the song came out a couple years ago, but my memory may be failing me. Anybody else remember hearing something about that? Roofi's Publicist 03:46, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's right. There is an interview on the DVD side of the This Type of Thinking Dual Disc where they state that The Clincher is about claustrophobia and being buried alive. I remember reading another interview somewhere where Pete says that the 'nail down' part of the song refers to nails on a coffin. Also, Pete is the one who had the claustrophobia, not Sam. 128.123.85.194 00:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry for whoever put this, but Chevelle has no Nu Metal influences, and their musical style is nothing close to being nu metal. They're more associated with Alternative Metal, and perhaps Post-Grunge.

message: maybe chevellle might be prog metal.  they do have some prog influences, and their music is by no means, unoriginal.  they're style of music is failry unique, so is it possible that they're prog metal?  Itachi1452 01:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
