thread_title: End of hiatus/New album

message: The person who wrote this article tagged the band with terms such as "metal" and "extreme metal". I'm not extremely educated in the genre, but I'm pretty sure the band is essentially grindcore. I replaced all the words "metal" with "grindcore". Radar123 19:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You would be right, grindcore should definitely be first on the list. 76.121.91.3 (talk) 02:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Genre?

message: For some reason I can't seem to post a picture of the band. So far I've uploaded two images (Genghisband.jpg and GENGHISTRON.jpg) but neither seem to work. I encourage someone to find a way to post one of the mentioned files or put up a picture of their own. Radar123 16:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't know much about THIS Genghis Tron, and since this is all "unsourced" material, I think I'll just post it on this talk page.  Anyway,  when I was a senior in high school in Howard County (Maryland) in 2000/2001, friends and I created ajazz/funk/rock/weird band named genghis tron.  So, we did the high school band thing, it was fun, we had a good laugh and recorded some stuff in my basement, but the thing didnt really go anywhere since we all left for college the next year.  We invited a friend named Jared Feldman to come push sampler buttons at shows and trot around on stage being a goofy guy.  He thought Genghis Tron would be a great name...  anyway, fast forward a few years, Jared enrolls at Vassar college in Poughkeepsie.  He met the guys who would make THIS Genghis Tron, and thought it would be funny to re-give the name to them.  Seems like a kinda asshole move on his part, but I can't really blame him for that. We are still buddies.  Point being, 
"Their name it's self is an indication of their musical direction, taking it from the Mongol emperor and conqueror Genghis Khan, to express themes of destruction, violence and majesty, and from the 1982 science fiction film Tron to indicate their love for experimentation, science, electronics and technology."
is total bullshit.  Its our name! :-)

Its all fun and games to the original members now, but I'd like to have this comment on this page just to give some insight.

message: I plan on updating this page after I am finished dealing with Fuck the Facts.  I can't imagine this band not meeting the requirements for notablity.  They have two full length albums on fairly big labels (Crucial Blast and Relapse Records). 
Though, I notice that the person who questioned notability above, did it more than a year ago, so I think by NOW there should be no question.
Anyways, I plan on giving a slightly more detailed and sourced history (after some research) and  a musical style section.  If anyone has any suggestions let me know.Ibanez Guy (talk) 15:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
