message: User:201.13.134.86 (article history) removed the category Christian musical group, quite rightly, and added this quote from an online chat at www.teenhollywood.com. I can't verify if this is true, so I've removed it for now. There's nothing unreasonable about it at all, so maybe someone would like to add it back in the future with the proper introduction.
The quote:
:<<How do you feel about people refering to your group as a Christian band?"
 
:Rick says First off, we're not a Christian band. Jason back in the day used to lead worship at his church and he comes from that background. For the most part we're definitely not a christian band. We're just a band that tries to make music that is not crap. We get pigeonholed sometimes about being a christian or spiritual or whatever band. But for the most part we try to write the best songs that we can, songs that inspire people. There is a special feeling that people get when they hear a song like that, it is an open form of art, we don't like to be put into a box like that! -----  Lifehosue chat on Wed Dec 21 2005 - TeenHollywood>>>

Yes,this is true....

they're not a Christian band.
I know they're not a Christian band, but I find it interesting that they get a LOT of play on 'Christian' and 'positive alternative' radio stations such as AIR ONE.  I'm curious.  Do they have to pay to get their music played on those stations, or do they just play it because it's positive, or both?  Or am I totally off?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.17.194.80 (talk) 07:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're totally off. Lifehouse started off as a Christian band known as Blyss. The Jason Wade was approached by David Geffen based on the quality of the group, and they changed to Lifehouse, which was a synonym for a church. They continue to gather christian support because their music is predominantly Christian, even though they're not a "christian band", per se. List to the lyrics of their most well known songs like "You and Me" or "Hanging by a Moment" or others like "Everything", "Breathing", "Storm", "Easier to Be" and others, whose lyrics are indicative of Christianity. I suppose without "Breathing", it could be anything, but that is pretty explicit. --lincalinca 08:18, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a dispute as to whether Ben Carey is a member of the band. I don't have a horse in this race (never even heard of the band before today), but several sources indicate Carey was a band member. For example this AP photo from Jan 2009. On the other hand the official website doesn't mention him;  but their myspace page does . I suggest until their official website is updated, the info not be added. Rd232 talk 21:42, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: My involvment with this involves watching an editor and two sockpuppets trying to block the addition of Carey. I became more involved yesterday, having a new sock blocked and adding in Carey with a cite to an interview with the band. Other than that, I do not know of the band or Carey. However, a glance at the Q&As on the band's website and the cites indicate that this was a topic of some interest. Carey apparently had toured with the band previously and, in several reliable sources, including one interviewing the band, Carey was mentioned as the "newest member" of the band. The band info on their site does not list Carey as a member or mention his past involvment. Unless this portion of their site is pittifully out of date, I can only conclude that Carey is not currently a member of the band, though apparently was considered a member by the band at some point in 2008. We can only write what we can cite, so I would suggest something along the following lines: do not include Carey in any of the lists of the band's members. Add a sentence along the lines of "Though Ben Carey was identified as the band's 'newest member', he is not included in their current roster." - SummerPhD (talk) 15:51, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

What your cousin's next-door-neighbor's friend's sister-in-law heard from the guy who did the artwork for the liner notes to their last album is also irrelevant.

text: Well, that at least explains the edit summary claims that there site has been hacked. We have another sockpuppetry case working through the system right now... - SummerPhD (talk) 17:03, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Pardon me for being skeptical. We are asked to accept that the official website has been hacked, and offered a blog as proof. I'd like to see some confirmation from a non-primary source.  SHEFFIELDSTEELTALK 17:47, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not claiming the website has been hacked. It seems to be the new defense to the claim that Ben Carey is not a member of the band. We have independent newspaper accounts that state he is. The blog post cited above is what the editors (or one editor + socks) claim is the result of hacking. The blog posting, by the band on their own website, supports the claim that Carey is a member of the band. The only evidence (such as it is) that Carey is not a member of the band is the thin nature of the evidence saying he is a member and several editors (or one editor and multiple socks) claiming he is not a member (and claiming the site has been hacked). - SummerPhD (talk) 20:08, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
