Talk:Veruca Salt

message: Does anyone have a picture of the band they could upload from their reunion tour?  It's a little silly that the only picture on there is of Nicole.

thread_title: Current Picture

message: Could someone provide more information about Gordon's leaving the band?
:Could you sign your posts?  The truth behind the breakup was never revealed, all we have is rumor and innuendo, and we're not putting that in the article.  A conservative interpretation would be that Gordon had been doing side projects with various artists for awhile and wanted to pursue solo work without necessarily leaving the band, but for whatever reason Gordon and Post could not reach a compromise.  The more lurid accounts involve wild accusations in the music press, seduction (or attempted seduction) of each other's boyfriends, physical assault, attempts to seize control of the band, destruction of personal property, and other equally bizarre goings on.  When Gordon left, Stacy Jones (her boyfriend at the time) left also.  Post fired original bassist Steve Lack, declared legal ownership of the band name, started her own label and hired an entirely new lineup.  Several songs on Resolver could be interpreted as juvenile verbal assaults on Gordon, and one of the songs on Tonight and the Rest of My Life could be interpreted as a response to those assaults.  What deeper meaning any of that may have is anyone's guess. Canonblack 05:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Info about breakup

message: Dave and Nina didn't have an affair. The affair that took place, and partially caused the break up, was between Louise and Nina's boyfriend at the time; Blake Smith (ex-fig dish and currently in Caviar).86.143.60.110 19:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: re: re: re:Info about breakup

message: Their allmusic page calls them "one of the most harshly criticized bands of the post-Nirvana alternative rock era."  I'd like to know more about that.  There needs to be some solid info about this in the article.  70.130.186.251 19:28, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I recall some criticism of the band related to a lack of originality (in the opinion of the critics).  I don't remember the exact source(s), but when Eight Arms came out, at least one critic pointed out that their album titles are riffs on other musicians' work.  Eight Arms to Hold You was the working title for Help!, and the "the Seether's Louise" bit from "Volcano Girls" is a reference to "I Am the Walrus" and "Glass Onion."  The title American Thighs is an AC/DC reference.  If I remember correctly, the first place I read about it was in Rolling Stone's reviews pages when "Eight Arms" was released.  nem0 17:28, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Harsh Criticism 

message: I don't understand... I added that Nina Gordon penned both hit singles that the band generated, and it was removed? She did write them... so why on earth was this information removed? The removal of this is clear bias. Yes, Nina isn't a member of the band anymore, but she obviously played a huge part of how successful they were in the past. 
veruca salt's chart positions and label situations also aren't discussed and therefore it's a vague, biased article too focused on their australian success.
A lot of information needs to be added in order for this to be an accurate look at a complicated band history, rather than fans or friends of the band trying to snuff out the facts that band was built upon.
:Agreed. MrDiGeorge 00:31, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clear Bias 

message: Most of the above comments are down to a simple, but vital, omission in the whole article - References ! Solve that problem and hyperbole, speculation, hear'say etc., flies out of the window.

message: Seether was the only single to appear in the Triple J top 100 - position 6 in 1994.
All references in the chart related to Triple J top 100 are incorrect. JD  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.47.108 (talk) 06:16, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
