message: :Image:Faith No More - Epic.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Faith No More - Epic.jpg

message: Although it was commercially very successful, "Epic" was a very complex and unusual song by the standards of the early '90s. Some perceive the lyrics as a reference to masturbation.http://www.lyricsdomain.com/6/faith_no_more/epic.html The lyrics also possess themes of rape. Other sources indicate that the lyrics may intertwine with people not being able to achieve what they want. Such as an accomplishment or goal. This contests to the "masturbation" conception stated above. Although, many people feel that the video for the song explains the second theory better. Which is not about sexual deviance at all, but more along the lines of people not acquiring what they desire most. For example, the fish at the end who dies without water.
There is also the possibility that the song's pervasive 'it' is a variable for whatever is the 'it' in modern culture. Various senses are tantalized throughout the song to give it a broader appeal. Any pop culture trend that disappears as quickly as it appears seems to fit as 'it'.
This entire section was original research, as far as I can tell. The reference looks promising, but is merely a link to the lyrics themselves, with no hint of interpretation. Lusanaherandraton 06:56, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:FNM Epic Sample.ogg

message: "Mike Patton came up with the rap idea for this after all of the music was laid out. The rap fills in the holes in the verses and works real well there. For the break section that has the string bends, I kick in my Tube Screamer and DOD Flanger. I wrote the part at the end by overdubbing a bunch of keyboard parts on a 4-track. The fish in the video was brought down by some guy from a fish farm. After we filmed it they threw him back in the bucket and took him away. He lived. We made him famous."Billy Gould from the Bass Guitar Transcription Book for the album, which I've yet to locate more info on.

thread_title:  <!-- Taking --> a dump 

message: "This song features a combination of heavy metal with rap, paving the way for rap metal and funk metal." -- certainly is original research, and not very good either. Cf. I'm the Man, from three years previous. A song by a metal band who actually worked with rap artists. Some original research on who the Beastie Boys worked with wouldn't go amiss either, before trashing this article with nonsense.--Rfsmit (talk) 02:48, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
