Talk:The Knife

message: According to their website theknife.net, they are on tour and are playing three shows in Sweden.  I think that the comment about them "refusing to play live" should be modified, but as I know nothing about the history of the band, I'm not sure how to word it. - Third 22:36, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

message: In the article it states that it is widely believed that "Silent Shout" is an interpretation of the comic book "Black Hole" by Charles Burns but that the Knife have never explicitly stated this.  This statement is extremely vague, and upon checking the "Source" used for this, there is no mention anywhere of Charles Burns, or Black Hole, or anyone thinking that the album Silent Shout is in any way related to that.  I'm going to go ahead and delete it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.44.160.10 (talk) 20:21, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Is the new bit about Heartbearts in the intro really necessary. It seems to be just an opinion, and the English used in it isn't great.
The information there could maybe be put into a separate page about Heartbeats maybe? But I don't think it belongs in the introduction paragraph to The Knife PlazzTT 09:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Empirically poorly written english exists. You can't just "believe" that it's well written. I read the link above and it's actually awful. It's unencyclopedic anyway-- just poorly written speculative interpretation of the lyrics-- and has no place on this website. It is a nice interpretation though.

message: I haven't found any sources for the claim, that The Knife and Justin Timberlake are planning a cooperation.
I have therefore deleted 'Untitled Justin Timberlake Collaboration (2008)' from the discography.

message: What the dang heck is this supposed to mean?
However, they did not attend the award ceremony due to many different reasons according to themselves.
Somebody should re-write that it doesn't make sense but I don't even know what it is supposed to mean so I can't fix it. 67.180.39.229 07:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I was told that one or both members is transgender, transsexual, a drag performer or some other flavour of transgender. Which one is it and what are the exact facts?--Sonjaaa (talk) 20:14, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably what you're thinking of is that for their music video for You Take My Breath Away they had a tranny drag performer or whatever (a guy dressed up like a chick) act in the lead role singing the vocals. Leopold Stotch (talk) 07:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone has claimed that The Knife produced 'Let My Shoes Lead Me Forward' by the aforementioned Ms Wilson - can we please have a citation for that? They certainly remixed the song for her cd single release of it, but it was my understanding that Jenny self-produced that entire album (Love And Youth). Apologies if I am wrong. 86.139.18.224 (talk) 12:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jenny Wilson? 

message: I just deleted the unsubstantiated claim that the gorilla stunt was a "protest against male dominance". By now it has been marked as "citation needed" for two months, and what a strange coincidence, the claim was added on March 8, the International Women's Day - a dead giveaway of an ideology plug.

message: Previously, 'medieval doctors' in the sentence"Recently the group has shown themselves in public wearing masks formed as birds' beaks, similar to those used by medieval doctors." linked to Black_Death(Other_effects), a page which doesn't include any mention of birds, masks, or beaks. I'll swap it out for a 'cite needed' for now - I'm curious about the justification, though, did the target page once contain a bird mask reference?MattLohkamp 09:47, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Right now the Discography and Videography sections on the article occupy at least half of the space and make the article look very cluttered. Thus, I'm proposing a split to a separate sub-article: The Knife discography. Discography articles on Wikipedia have a well-developed style and would also allow a cleaner presentation of the information given. You can see WP:WikiProject Discographies for more information.

thread_title:  Splitting discography to a sub-article 

message: I'm surprised that in the main page there's no mention of the opera(Tomorrow, in a Year) that The Knife have created that was inspired by Charles Dawrin...somehow...there's a video in the link below and it's quite odd.
http://pitchfork.com/news/36762-watch-supremely-weird-trailer-for-the-knifes-charles-darwin-opera/
I would add it in myself, but I've not really got the time to do that unfortunately.
I just thought it should at least be brought up!
It could also warrant it's own page perhaps?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BrotherEstapol (talk • contribs) 03:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Tomorrow, in a Year" The Knife's opera 

message: I've made a new sub-section within the discography for EPs and added their new release (Shaken-Up Versions) to it along with Gender Bender. I couldn't decide if Shaken-Up Versions should be listed as a studio album or as an EP on account of it having a track count and running time that exceeds the common definitions of extended play; however, I went with EP simply because that is what the band has been marketing it as as well as it being essentially a remix album.

message: While I know this idea requires a bit of assumption, I think the article/interview being used as a source to support their breaking-up misinterprets the statement The Knife made. Not only is the band consistently cryptic when dealing with that sort of question (or any question, really), but they have continued to perform since that interview was published, contradicting the suggestion that they've dissolved. As a matter of fact, they happen to have played a show today and will also be playing one tomorrow. ☉ nbmatt 21:42, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
