Talk:The Blood Brothers (band)

message: Isn't the vocal style the other way around? With Jordan Billie having the high high voice?
:Definitely not. Blilie  does the low parts and a lot of the screaming. On the recent single, Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck, that's Jordan singing "These tire tracks..." in a kind of low muttering. Johnny is the one squealing "The car accident, the skin graft treatment..." insanely high. Stephen 14:10, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

message: The Blood Brothers are absouloutly NOT mathcore. For one, I hear little to no metal influence. Also, there music is not technical at all. There music is played at a fairly high speed compared to mainstream pop/rock, but compared to other punk bands, they have a slower speed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.163.141.7 (talk) 04:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

message: It appears on their website that the Blood Brothers have started recording a new album. Does anybody have any more information about this? It should probably be mentioned in the article somewhere.
I added a little bit of information to the releases section about it; that's all I've been able to find on the Internet about the new album.  Chris Berry 18:03, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I have read on the Internet that a member or members of the Blood Brothers (possibly Jordan?) is/are openly gay.  Can anyone confirm this, and if it is confirmed, make an addition to the article?
Jordan currently has a girlfriend. He is not gay.
I dont know how old this discussion is but I do believe at least one member is openly gay. 
See this old interview - it seems to suggest it. 
http://www.punknews.org/article.php?sid=10623&mode=thread&order=0
 especially this 
When we interviewed you last year, you mentioned how on the Glassjaw tour, you guys encountered a bit of homophobia... 
Yeah.'''
I'm pretty sure it's the drummer, looking at their set - one of Mark's drums has the gay pride rainbow around it.  Not that we can use that as a source, but I can't find anything on the internet to site it.
: Its not really important if anyone is gay. Unless they say it in an interview, it doesn't belong on the article, and even then, just a line in the trivia section. Whoops, yeah I said this Olliemilne 00:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Homosexuality 

message: Johnny Whitney.  I'm gonna change it to "is vegan". it's not like he is a totally different animal because he is vegan.
::I suggest that we leave it as "is a vegan" because it's a description of a personality trait and not a physical trait (such as "Johnny Whitney is skinny") or consumable product (like vegan pizza or vegan shoes).  When describing a trait of a person we usually use a or an (as in "a democrat" or "a musician").  You wouldn't say "Johnny Whitney is musician" just like you wouldn't say "Johnny Whitney is meat-eater".torq 17:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that's because "musician" is strictly a noun while "vegan" can function as a substantive adjective- i.e., one that can stand on its own as a noun. 99.251.230.51 (talk) 22:49, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "is a vegan" 

message: This is a really interesting point - but needs cleaning up before it can be put back on the main page.
In the first three albums, and fantasy tale of piano island with many characters is incorperated via metaphors.  The story starts at 'this adultery is ripe', and ends at 'burn, piano island, burn'.  Somebody has yet to document the entire story in lamen's terms.

replies: text: -Yeah, I've been watching this list get longer and longer for about a year now. Its pretty pointless too, you could write a similarly huge list for any band. I think the lists original intent was to show how they toured with acts who you normally wouldn't expect them to tour with due to a percieved vast difference in style but over time people have carried on adding their favourite bands and the list is redundant. I'm cool with removing it, I'll do it at some point if noone else does. Unless anyone can come up with a good reason to keep it... Olliemilne 18:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Couldn't find any other mention of Whitney and Carlsen being married except for the article itself.  Change back if anyone knows better and add source.  Ta xxxJammus 10:12, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: - I know for a fact they're married, this month's Rock Sound magazine makes reference to "his wife amy carlsen". I'm not really sure how to go about adding magazine based sources on wikipedia, if you do its Rock Sound, Issue 93 (Feb 2007) page 39. This is also the first real confirmation I've seen of them being married, but I've heard people online refer to them as such for a few months. At some point I'll learn how to source this properly and then readd it if noone does it first. Olliemilne 16:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ooooh.  My housemate has been late in buying Rock Sound this month. So it's his fault I deleted it :)  Not sure how best to cite it.  Is [Cite Journal] correct? Jammus 10:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

message: How come The Blood Brothers now goes to a disambiguation page where no articles exist with the title 'The Blood Brothers' aside from this one?  Can someone point me in the direction of the conversation?  Ta Jammus 23:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed this. Typing "the blood brothers" links to "blood brothers (disambig.). Details of the request were made here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requested_moves&diff=prev&oldid=127457508 by a red ip-based user and fulfilled by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/82.20.52.142 who as you can see, has been a very busy bee in tidying up today. I guess in the end, this disambig. page is somewhat needed, I personally have never seen the play but it is very famous and I guess some people could get the name confused...? What I propose be done is that on the Blood Brothers (disambig.) page, This article is moved to the top of the music list and emboldened, as based on the other music links this page is clearly the most relevant. Although I do think that you could get away with just a link at the top of the page... anyone who made a mistake would soon realise. But for now I guess we can do the disambig thing, I will do it soon if noone else does.
What do you think? Olliemilne 00:25, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I just moved the blood brothers to the top of the music section and bolded them. I also asked in the talk page why it was redirected. If noone replies and we both agree (we seem to be the only active users who discuss this page's content) then I think the redirect should be removed and the link at the top of the page changed to a "this is about the band" etc etc. tell me what you think. Olliemilne 00:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sounds like the best solution to me Jammus 08:37, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK so apparently I cannot embolden anything that isnt the main focus of the page (which in this case is the phrase "blood brother") and someone says that several of the movies on that list (and there are going to be more added too) are technically called "the blood brothers" but the is a diminutive word in chinese (they're all chinese films apparently, they go crazy for this title it seems) so this isn't the only "the blood brothers" on the list. I dont think changing things back to how they were will do anything, it appears to be wikipedia policy to have things this way and it'll just turn into an edit war. It looks like this article is just going to have to be harder to find. Hopefully anyone looking for this article will be able to wade through all the other stuff. I'm not sure if we can do anything else for now. Olliemilne 18:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Arsehat.  Oh well.  Have done a little disambiguation though the guts of it was already in place.  Not convinced about these Chinese films though.  They're only AKAs or old titles.  Hmmmm.  Cheers though OllieJammus 13:07, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I added a section in the Crimes article on the lyrical content of the album, and I hope to add such sections to the band's other albums' articles soon, but I'm not particularly happy about the format.  I believe this type of section to be important to deciphering the lyrical message of the songs as well as being interesting, but if someone can find a more effective way to format this information or integrate it into the article in another way, that would be really helpful.torq 17:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'd like to add "Screamo" to the genres list. I have a source, and Blood Brothers are in keeping with the first wave of screamo. Aryder779 (talk) 20:27, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Your source seems to be dead.  I'll leave it for now and check in a few days, but if it's still dead (or the band themselves didn't say it) then I'm going to delete it. Tdogg241 (talk) 01:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

text: UPDATE: OK, the source seems to be working now and the bit about them being screamo was an embellishment by the author, not something the band themselves said.  I'm going to delete it now.  Also, next time please read the comment that's already in the genre section: "DO NOT change genres; go to the talk page".  Tdogg241 (talk) 05:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
