Talk:Bradley Nowell

message: "...developed a love for Big fat weed", "...smoked Mary Jane during family gatherings..." - is that the style of an encyclopedia? I don't think so. If you don't mind, I will change it.

thread_title:  Justifying heroin use 

message: Someone has been going through this article and changing the "Bradleys" and "Nowells" into "Brads." My thought is that since this is attempting to take the tone of an encyclopedia, he should be identified as "Bradley Nowell" in the beginning of the article and "Nowell" for the remainder of the article, except when in direct quotes by others he is referred to as "Brad" or "Bradley." Whatever the case, I'm too tired right now to go through and revert the article. But somehow I don't think calling him "Brad" is okay with this particular article. It makes it sound like we know him personally. I love the guy, but I never met him personally, so I don't feel comfortable referring to him as "Brad." Any thoughts? -- Andrew Parodi 19:48, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: "Brad," "Bradley," "Bradley Nowell," or "Nowell"?

message: I'm trying to clean this page up and expand it. Much of this page is written in reference to the only "good" and "extensive" article I can find online about Bradley Nowell -- this article from Rolling Stone: http://members.tripod.com/~Agaric40/info/lifeafterdeath.html I have placed this article in the "external links" area of this page. If anyone has more articles like this, please post them. -- Andrew Parodi 07:27, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I decided to remove the "clean-up" notice because I don't think it's necessary anymore. I'm basically working on this article every day, so I don't really think I need a reminder to work on it. -- Andrew Parodi 10:55, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Isn't stating that he "died as the result of a fatal heroin overdose" a bit redundant?  If it wasn't a fatal dose, he wouldn't have died. 65.189.210.173 21:06, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's redundant. But such is Wikipedia. I'm the one who originally wrote the sentence, then someone else came along and edited in the "fatal dose" bit, and now we have a redundant sentence. Edit it out of you like. Andrew Parodi 00:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redundant. 

message: "It was said that he was so addicted and wanted such a high, that he injected the heroin into his head."  This sentence sounds to me like speculation.  If so than it should be removed.  If it is not than it should be rephrased for clarity. Anybody know? Jdt2858 04:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

message: "Following Nowell's 1996 death, Lou Dog was cared for by his mother. Lou Dog died on September 17, 2001." 
I assume we mean that Lou Dog was cared for by Nowell's mother, not by his own mother. But since I have no way of knowing this for sure, I'm making a smart-ass comment on the talk page. 
Merry X-mas.

thread_title:  dangling 

message: The song "Some Suck, Some Rock" by [spunge], from their "That Should Cover It" album, references Bradley and Sublime twice. One of the verses talks of a band who are to "... hit the big time real soon, 'til they find the singer dead in the hotel room", while the bridge talks of those rare artists who you really wish you'd seen but missed out on, and ends with the lines "for me that's Sublime and Bradley, think it's such a shame I'll never see that band play". [spunge] quote Sublime as one of their biggest influences (yep, citation needed), and have covered Santeria on their "Room for Abuse" album.
Is this suitable for inclusion in the references in popular culture section?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.104.3.125 (talk) 22:25, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi!  Thanks so much for providing these links.  I found it very difficult to find reliable sources about Brad, most of them are fan pages, so these are a great help.  I will incorporate these into the article.  I really appreciate your help. Basilisk4u (talk) 08:24, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
