Talk:Mayday Parade

message: The band is not soley 'emo', some elements of their music are similar to The Get Up Kids, and Saves The Day, but in all accuracy Mayday Parade are Pop Punk/Rock. - Jeremy
I agree with Jeremy, the band isnt solely emo, but "rock" is to broad of a genre.  Pop punk would be a good, definitive genre for the sound of Mayday Parade.  -Charles  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.46.62.209 (talk) 17:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:MDPDlogo.jpg

message: I propose to move this article name from "Mayday Parade" to "Mayday Parade (band)".  Reason: the phrase "Mayday parade" signifies a generic concept--a traditional parade organized on the 1st of May, the International Labour Day. This concept requires an entry in en.wikipedia (or at least an appropriate re-direct). Some non-English wikipedias already have entries for the exact equivalent of "Mayday parade" in the generic meaning. Note that Mayday Parade is (or used to be) a far more important concept in some countries than it is in the USA.  Other opinions welcome.  Stan J. Klimas (talk) 15:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The parade you refer to is a May Day parade. Different spelling. Nouse4aname (talk) 15:38, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Then the page "Mayday Parade" should become a disambiguation page.  Stan J. Klimas (talk) 15:49, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposed move to Mayday Parade (band)

message: Stop removing this section, it is largely significant in regard to the band.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by NArca9 (talk • contribs) 15:23, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Please make new discussions at the bottom of talk pages, and remember to sign your posts with 4 tildes. Thanks. In regard to Lancaster, it is not notable to have its own heading. And what do you mean "remove"? I haven't removed it. I moved the information under the "History" heading, where it properly belongs. I've even added "departure of Lancaster" to the section title under "History." Thanks. Fantasy Dragon (talk) 19:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

text: How am I biased against him? I don't know the guy. The quote is incredibly too long and half of it is not even necessary for the article. The content I left in still explains how he feels sorry for it, but explains why he left. And one could argue that the most notable event in the band's history is actually forming, or releasing their studio album. It's fine as it is. Fantasy Dragon (talk) 04:17, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with Fantasydragon; the original quote had undue weight and needed some simple copy-editing. Concise is better! tedder (talk) 04:23, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Please don't re-add it. It's undue weight, and saying "needs meat" about undue content isn't exactly a good argument. Please wait until consensus is reached. tedder (talk) 20:38, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want more of the quote in then we'll discuss it here. I don't see how what I took out is changing what he said? Because it's not. Anyway, please don't just undo the edit. Also with your edit you are adding in extra information that is not needed and you're doing the blockquote incorrectly. Fantasy Dragon (talk) 20:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

text: The whole quote doesn't need to be there, and as I've said several times, the issues of undue weight and "article is empty" issues still remain. Please wait until consensus is reached and discontinue re-adding the information. tedder (talk) 01:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Tedder never said you had a problem with the band. Where are you getting that from? This article is NOT complete crap. It is lacking, yes, especially in the history section, but that does not mean it's crap. I have worked very hard on it to make sure that it complies with standard formatting, structure and etc. First, your argument was about the departure of Lancaster section, but now you're complaining about a section for Go Radio? That doesn't make any sense. What are you trying to argue? What "double standard" are you talking about? Fantasy Dragon (talk) 03:12, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: And in regard to the blink-182 and side-projects section, here's the deal: That band went on hiatus. The information about the new bands is to inform the reader of what the band members of the original band were up to during the hiatus. All that happened with Mayday is that Jason left; a Go Radio section isn't merited here in this article because now he isn't even part of the band. A brief mention of what he is up to is acceptable, and is present in the article. ("He would later go on to form Go Radio.) We can expand the information a little, but very, very briefly. But I would like to point out, again, that that was NOT your original argument, so now I am confused of what you are trying to do. Fantasy Dragon (talk) 03:15, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Departure of Lancaster

message: According to the source used in the article, Tales Told By Dead Friends sold 10,000 copies before being re-released on Fearless. I think the opening of the article should be corrected.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by NArca9 (talk • contribs) 20:41, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, they made 10,000 new fans at Warped Tour, and the EP sold 20,000. "By the conclusion of the 2006 Vans Warped Tour Mayday Parade made 10,000 new fans without playing a single show." "Now at the point of selling over 20,000 copies of the EP, Mayday was ready to get back into the studio." Fantasy Dragon (talk) 20:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Amount of EPs sold

message: This is from http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?s=1bdffbaba109e10b4beb00511ab62b9f&t=251703&page=2.
It really should be in the article, and in the A Lesson In Romantics page. 
"This is Jason Lancaster of Go Radio ex mayday parade. I just found out about this thread and wanted to straightne some things out. First off, I left mayday for a lot of reasons, the least of them was katy. You guys should know things about this band that I can't tell you, but believe like I do that they are all good at heart,just a little misguided at times. I started go radio because I love playing and recording music, and because I love interacting with you guys. People that care about music even if its not music they like. I will always make music, and hopefully you will always be able to hear it. But in the case things don't work out know I am so happy that I could share with all of you.
Mayday was a big part of my life but ask them next time who wrote the album, I bet my name doesn't come up. Or why I am off the bio completely, or maybe how I am denied credit in the album for writing anything. Or maybe ask derek how he can take credit in so many publications and reply to me "I understand if this means we can't be friends anymore" when I asked him about it. Ask jake how easy it was to write me off when I had no more chorus' for him. We had been playing together for 6 years.
I'm not bitter anymore and all will heal with time, but know the bands you love, and know they aren't always what they seem." NArca9 (talk) 22:19, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Another really good Jason quote

message: Mayday Parade will too, especially when there is plenty of sources that state Jason wrote TTBDF and ALIR.NArca9 (talk) 00:44, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Most band's have the lyric writer listed

message: Isn't the point of this article to give the reader accurate and unbiased information on the band? Or should we just write off important facts like who wrote all of their records as not important. Please stop trying to 1UP everyone here who is trying to do some good. You can get off your wiki-high horse now.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by NArca9 (talk • contribs) 19:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: Although the entire flickr album is labelled "mayday", it appears that Mayday Parade headlined the show and the linked image is from one of the opening bands.
Images 220-334 in the flickr album are of Mayday Parade. Unfortunately, all of these images are taken from pretty far back in the crowd.
I think image 334 is the only one in the entire album in which all five band members are visible. Therefore I will change the page to include this picture in place of the current one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vanlellan (talk • contribs) 04:03, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
