Talk:Tommy Bolin

message: The sentence "Bolin committed suicide on December 4 on body discover in his home" doesn't parse.  Somebody in the know, please fix. --Naddy 17:55, 21 Nov 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree!! this is not true:  <<<Many critics agree Bolin was in good form for the concerts:[citation needed] certainly, he did not suffer from paralysis at the concerts. >>>
i happen to have a bootleg filming of the 1975 Budokan concert. I don't know at this point if that was the audio source for Last concert in japan but I have to tell you, his playing is totally impaired; it's painful to watch. worst than a 15 old kid in a garage band. he definitely was suffering from something. that passage should be corrected!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.217.164.162 (talk) 20:02, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact that Bolin got a bad "fix" and had a partially paralyzed arm for a few days that affected his playing has been confirmed many times in journalistic papers, including members of Deep Purple that he told what was wrong with him. 50.111.48.95 (talk) 23:29, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

text: Not sure where you got that misinformation. To quote the Schaffer Library of Drug Policy, "In terms of effects, they are exactly the same -- and medically interchangeable -- except for dosage. In fact, they are both converted to the same form of morphine when they get into the body."Nicmart (talk) 14:22, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure of that, and it bears looking into. Can someone agree to archive the comments here that have been dealt with, so we can move on to improve this article? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 17:22, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm removing the section of the article that cliam that Bolin was a crossdresser who kept his legs "meticulously waxed."  No source is provided in support of that claim, and I can't remember ever reading such a thing about him in a longlife of Deep Purple fandom.  I'm happy to stand corrected if anybody can present evidence.  Innocent76 (talk) 13:02, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: What rot. "Unmasculine"?  Long-haired rock 'n' rollers, like long-haired people from the Sixties (like myself) are totally masculine.  Idiotic comment. 50.111.48.95 (talk) 23:26, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

text: I'm just going to chime in here with absolute confidence that I think somebody has confused Marc Bolin with Tommy. SentientParadox (talk) 07:59, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

message: The listing for Fever under Solo discography links to the medical condition 'Fever' and has no citation. I googled it and found it to be a 15 CD box set; however found no reputable sources to cite it myself.  — Preceding

message: There is no basis or criteria to judge this artist as heavy metal. Anyone who wants to express can stay the will, but do not change the page without references. Thanks!--Fran1996 (talk) 06:11, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you serious? He played with Deep Purple, a heavy metal band by all accounts. Tags don't necessarily mean an artist is what the tag implies. Tags are about finding information related to the subject of the tag. Tommy Bolin played with DP, a heavy metal band, therefore he is relative to the subject. Not to mention the simple fact that if he PLAYED DP's music, he PLAYED heavy metal. Use some logic before you edit. FYI, MANY early HM musicians were originally jazz musicians. Do some research on the subject. I have restored the tag. SentientParadox (talk) 08:12, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW, if you really are interested in educating people and directing them to expand their interests, tagging music and musicians liberally actually assists in that regard. Limiting tagging restrictively simply restricts people from expanding their tastes and horizons. Tag liberally!!! SentientParadox (talk) 08:29, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
