Talk:The Rasmus

message: Is rasmus really the Swedish word for "snake"? I'd always thought it was orm. Could a native Swedish speaker confirm this?  — JIP | Talk 08:23, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Rasmus means darkness in finnish. In swedish it means fog or something like this. But they are finnish, so...I hope this is the answer you wanted to read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.73.181.142 (talk) 09:54, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm both Finnish and a native speaker of Finnish, and I have never heard "Rasmus" meaning "darkness". "Darkness" in Finnish is "pimeys". "Rasmus" doesn't mean anything special in Finnish, it's just a proper name.  — JIP | Talk 13:12, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Rasmus is the Scandinavian form of Erasmus (which means 'Beloved' in greek). According to my dictionary it has nothing to do with darkness. Uwilldrop 18:54, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: What does rasmus mean?

message: I have no idea who wrote this biography but seriously, it is so full of rumours and half-truths that I hope that no non-fan stumbles across it because they cannot differ what is true and what is not... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.70.74.164 (talk) 10:51, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Full of Rumours 

message: My friend is obsessed with the Rasmus and she read somewhere that Lauri once french-kissed a guy for 5 dollars. Can anyone clear up as to whether this is true or false? TearAwayTheFunerealDress 16:14, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

message: What musical genre does The Rasmus belong to? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.216.222.236 (talk) 04:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article says heavy metal but a friend of mine says it has absolutely nothing to do with metal, and that they are actually pop rock etc. I think that "heavy metal" should be removed from the article: in my opinion, heavy metal is something like Metallica, Cannibal Corpse, Blind Guardian or maybe even Nightwish.

text: They have nothing to do with gothic rock, just ask the people running the gothic rock arcticle.74.47.11.154 (talk) 19:54, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

text: The Rasmus have nothing to do with gothic rock, they're basically just moody alternative pop/rock.  And plus, the sources for the gothic rock genre don't even call them gothic, like you said above.  So yeah... gothic rock doesn't belong here.74.47.11.154 (talk) 18:40, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Oh and by the way, a band's image and fanbase don't do anything to define their genre.74.47.11.154 (talk) 19:52, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Musical Genre 

message: At the risk of being gang-bashed, I have removed all of those excess links in the External Links section, as well as the relevant tag... My reason for removing them was that they were country-specific fansites and forums, and not, say, a Finnish forum (which would be relevant as The Rasmus are Finnish). The International Forum link remains there to represent all of the other forums. 
I've also copy-edited and rephrased some info, but of course some strange rumours and trivia still remains... The 'Aki' section needs a serious cleanout! Hopefully it's looking a bit better...

thread_title:  Recent editing... 

message: There's a cassette tape release from 1995 with a compilation of four Finnish groups each playing 3 or four songs, which should be mentioned as the first official recording from Rasmus, since they're featured on the A' side of that tape.
Any more info on that?

message: I removed the line: " In Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland "Rasmus" is a masculine name.", because this is an opinion, and I'm from Denmark and know no one who consider Rasmus a 'masculine name'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.197.38.2 (talk) 16:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Name 

message: Since the band is tremendlously popular in Mexico (and Latin America), should be this put along on artistic and commercial achievement? Sold Out shows, promo-tours and high cd sales would confirm this. Regards.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.169.62.204 (talk) 16:44, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
