message: This needs to be sorted out; everything about it is clumsy and there's a whole load of citations that are needed. I'm not entirely convinced the quotes are actual quotes... I'll do my best with it, but kind of need somebody with more knowledge than me. --Benzs s 11:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This article should talk about Greenwood's use of a Laptop as a musical instrument.  More specifically, he runs hus guitar through a program called Max/MSP in the song Go To Sleep.  There is a video of it on YouTube.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.186.210.57 (talk) 20:21, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  The article should probably talk about his love of programming and that he writes his own music software, which he discusses here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m47dDaqnWG0 and http://www.ateaseweb.com/2011/03/04/jonny-greenwood-radiohead-making-music-rehearsing-working-out-what-to-do/  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.98.253.105 (talk) 01:20, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

message: "2007 also marks the 40th anniversary of Trojan Records"
I've removed this as the Trojan Records page says they were founded in 1968. I don't know series that Jonny is contributing to is being released to mark their 40th anniversary, if it is then the anniversary should probably be noted in passing (as opposed to a full sentence IMO)Jimbow25 14:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Currently says the following - Noted for his aggressive playing style,[1] Greenwood is consistently named as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.[2][3][4][5] Citing his work with Radiohead, Channel 4 described Greenwood as a "significant creative force within the music industry."[6]. I took it out the other day as being somewhat hagiographic, which was probably a bit overzealous, but nonetheless there are problems with it, as follows. 
*"Aggressive playing style" - this seems a very selective and based on opinion even though an article is referenced and not entirely representative of the range of his and the band's style. The Allmusic source being cited does mention this in passing, but it also talks about "chiming" sounds. Other reviews and profiles, especially in respect of more recent stuff, make similar observations that to some extent contradict this point.
*"consistently named as one of the greatest guitarists of all time" - I'll confess I'm personally skeptical of the cult of the axe hero, and these lists just turn up all the time, with those that are actually voted on by the public usually proving little more than that fans of bands who happen to be popular at the time they are taken vote for the guitarist in those bands. Even writer-led lists are prone to recentism and limited to genres favoured by the magazine/outlet in question. Oddly enough, recent ones don't include Julian Bream, Django Reinhardt or Peter Green. What does "greatest" mean anyway - best songwriter on a guitar? Best soloist? Most solid backing player? Most inventive in terms of getting sounds of the instrument? In particular, the Virgin Media and Gig Wise lists seem pretty trivial, random and non-authoritative. The Rolling Stone one carries more weight I suppose, but it's not sourced to the magazine itself, nor is it clear on what basis the list was put together - by writers? And the BBC 6Music one - which says itself "this is not a representative poll and the figures do not purport to represent public opinion as a whole on this issue" - includes Noel Gallagher among other fairly ordinary choices made by random and self-selecting members of the radio station's audience. I guess the statement that he appears in these polls is strictly true, but is referring to these lists actually telling us much at all?
*"significant creative force .." - arguably true to some degree, but it's basically PR fluff taken from the Channel 4 website aimed at promoting a film. Hardly an impartial assessment.
Maybe outright removal is too much, but so is the current wording. N-HH talk/edits 18:00, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
