Talk:End of the Line (Traveling Wilburys song)

message: "It features all the Wilburys, except Bob Dylan, as lead singers, alternating on verses".  Really?  I only hear Tom Petty's voice in the verses and Orbison's voice in the chorus.
--- He means alternating the choruses
If you watch the video, they're all showing singing solos (except Dylan and Orbison, obviously).

replies: text: Working on it. Orbison's solo is featured on the video, with the camera pulling in on his guitar, slowly rocking back and forth in a chair, and a brief close-up of a framed photograph of Orbison in his trademark sunglasses. Ellsworth (talk) 03:28, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Singers?

message: Hmm.  Not sure.  There's only so many guitar chords, and the first two sound the same in each case.  Not sure it's similar enough for a mention.  Mind, the sound of the guitar is similar...Pollythewasp (talk) 09:19, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's original research, and a very POV thing (I agree with Polly that the tone of the guitar is the only similarity, and I can't even find anybody so much as casually mentioning the similarity on web forums etc.). I would ask User:Baseball Bugs to consider these problems and explain why the text should remain. If we can't come to an agreement then I'll request comments from other users.

replies: text: Play the very beginning of either one and you can't tell the difference. If you're worried about that minor detail being some catastrophic OR, I don't know what to tell you. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:06, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I can tell the difference, due to not being tone deaf. That's not the issue, anyway; it doesn't matter what either of us think. Wikipedia is full of trivia lacking source or notability, let's not pretend this sort of thing isn't a problem. I'm RFCing this and refraining from editing, because it smells like a tedious war brewing. Snied (talk) 23:20, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Chord similarities to "I'm Looking Through You"

message: The content in question is
George Harrison's opening guitar chords might be heard as reminiscent of his opening chords in The Beatles' song "I'm Looking Through You".
The pro-inclusion stance is that it is non-controversial. The opposing stance is that it is original research and disputed anyway. Snied (talk) 23:25, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: *The above discussion shows that it is original research.  Unless a review or other source can be located that makes the same connection it shouldn't be included. J04n(talk page) 10:02, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

text: *Without a supporting cite, it remains the opinion of the editor who added it, and as such would be original research. Alastairward (talk) 22:01, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

text: *I wouldn't even have noticed the vague similarity without having spotted this RfC.  No: it isn't appropriate to include the info without proper citation that Harrison was deliberately referencing the Beatles song.  --Jubilee♫clipman 17:17, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

text: *Please only include if you have a citation from an outside source.  Note that the citation wouldn't have to say that Harrison was deliberately referencing the Beatles song, just that someone else noticed a similarity. GoingBatty (talk) 00:07, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should we remark on an alleged similarity to the first notes of another song 

message: "The sleeve cover of the 45 rpm single, photographed four days after the death of Roy Orbison in December 1988, features a guitar in a rocking chair." However, looking at the photo, Orbison is there, guitar in hand. What gives? - SummerPhD (talk) 15:49, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
