Talk:Motorhead (song)

message: I've tried my best to keep the Hawkwind in one place as was suggested, but I notice that "Kings of Speed" has now had the Motorhead/Valium ten addded, which has Motorhead as the A-side for the single. This naming convention is driving me nuts, that should have it's own page "Motorhead (1981 single)", the Motorhead (song) article needs changing into just that and made an overview article, without predudic to either band's releases, the other two need moving to the relevant Motorhead (year single) otherwise it'll be falling over itself, the Hawkwind linkages do so already.--Alf melmac 06:45, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Although I know and respect Kingboyk opinion (I welcomed him in September 2005 iirc), this treatment is not on a par with other topics on the encylopedia. I understand his wish for fuller, more inclusive articles, however, all the feedback from users who have looked up singles have stated they don't want to have to hunt. I am firm in my conviction that it should follow the books -> film/play/radio broadcast patterns that allow for flexibility which would allow for us a full page about the song and noting all its releases and the data relevant to any important bands' discography on singles pages where its justified, when comparing that to the amount of tv show episodes, cast, guest stars etc etc pages there are, it really appears we are short changing singles and songs. What is a single, it's not just the A-side, when I ask the question "what would have happened if the band had have titled the single something unrelated to the title of the song" (and sometimes they do), the answer is always, 'it wouldn't be a naming issue then'. Believe me I am looking at it more from the readers' point of view than the encylopedists.--Alf melmac 17:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding the books/films/etc parallel, quickly off the top of my head, a few examples I could think of and just looked up were Apocalypse Now/Apocalypse Now#Redux and Blade Runner/Blade Runner#Director's Cut, different versions and different releases all dealt with in the same article. I can accept Psycho (1960 film) and Psycho (1998 film) as different articles as they are different films, even if the latter is a remake (I wouldn't suggest merging Hawkwind's "Motorhead" article with Motörhead's "Motorhead" article). But the 1975 b-side and 1981 a-side of Hawkwind's "Motorhead" are the same recording, merely with different overdubs. Drwhawkfan 19:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Here's some of what I have seen in my bodding about - The Lord of the Rings (1955 radio series), The Lord of the Rings (1979 radio series), The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series) - ok so The Lord of the Rings (1978 film) and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (film) is understandable but they are the same story ("it's the same song....") , but that also has The Lord of the Rings (soundtrack), The Lord of the Rings (symphony) and Music of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. For more pages relating to this one book - see The Lord of the Rings (disambiguation). Other less involved are Rear Window (1998 film) and Rear Window, however Dracula is amazing - it has Dracula in popular culture as well as Dracula (1931 film), Dracula (Spanish-language version), Dracula (1958 film), Dracula (1968), Dracula (1973), Dracula (1979 film), Dracula (2002), and Dracula (2006), not including the Nosferatus, Brides, Lusts for... film pages, which like the articles I've linked there, are all adaptations of the one story. I have a few more examples, if you'd like...--Alf melmac 19:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Different band, but same song. There's already a section on the Motörhead version here, and I'm not sure it warrants a separate article. It makes no sense to have an article about both the Hawkwind and Motörhead versions, and another about just the Motörhead version. Adam9007 (talk) 02:21, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
