Talk:Tim McIlrath

message: Numerous sources note Tim as a vegan, and it is assumed he is. However, in two interviews one at Unraveling's release and the other at Siren Song's release have stated he is vegetarian going vegan. Can anyone find a source dated after this one: http://www.miramag.com/2007/interview-with-tim-mcilrath-of-rise-against/ that states he is in fact vegan, not vegetarian-going-vegan? He's even listed as vegan in wikipedia's LIST OF VEGANS, but I think that's assumed, not accurate. So, yea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.156.68.227 (talk) 03:44, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Per the merger discussed at Talk:Baxter (band), this is the text from that article:
:Baxter, the post hardcore. Their music - a vital piece of Chicago punk-rock history. For those who aren't familiar, the Baxter sound would perhaps be best labeled as post-hardcore, sometimes comparable to bands such as Fugazi, At The Drive-In, and Chicago's own Cap'n Jazz. Their aesthetic value, however, can not be put into such simple verbiage. By the time these boys crept onto the Chicago underground scene in the late 90's` their full-length cassette "Troy's Bucket" (1996) encountered a warm reception all around Chicago and sales warranted immediate re-duplication. More frequent shows in the city and modest nation-wide touring ensued. In 1997, the band released the 7-inch "Lost Voices..." on Static Station Recordings.
:In November of '97, Baxter played the sold-out Slapstick reunion show at the Fireside Bowl in Chicago. The reaction they received rivaled that of the legendary headliners. They broke up and went on to form the bands Rise Against, The Lawrence Arms and The Killing Tree.
:In 2002, Will Not Clear Man records re-released "Troy's Bucket", "Lost Voices..." and several other previously unrealeased demos and one live song on CD. The two-disc complete discography is entitled simply "Baxter".
I only merged the disc information, as most of the above is POV purple prose like "such simple verbiage" or unverifiable claims about reception or sales. The claim about "nation-wide touring" which would qualify the band under WP:MUSIC is refuted by McIlrath, who says here
:Tim: I played in a band called Baxter. We never really did anything outside of Chicago. So we were just a local band.
FYI - baxter DID in fact tour nationally w/ The Broadways (brendan+chris from the larry arms old band) they also did a small stint w/ lesser known NYMB
It may prove useful to someone, though, so here it is. --Dhartung | Talk 12:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

message: OK does anyone know for a FACT how old he is. Because i dont know if he was born in 1978 or 1980 or whatever but its pretty important, so if you know for a fact then get a refrence or whatever and put it. For know well keep it as 1978.
P.S. It sucks if hes that old...jkHowl5 23:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't know how this would fit in, but somebody needs to put in how grateful he always is to his fans. How he's a really down-to-earth kinda guy. And really nice, too. 130.85.246.236 15:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

message: A series of people have been adding McIlrath to this list, but per WP:BLP, he can't stay without a reliable source to cite. I looked around without success, which is why I thought I'd post here, to see whether anyone has an off-line magazine article or an interview verifying the info. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 14:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I can personally assert that Tim isn't straight edge, as one time my brother and his friend were lucky enough to hang out with Rise before a show, and everyone (including Tim) were drinking. Considering it wasn't mentioned anywhere else in the article, nor were any sources cited, I took it out.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BrianRecchia (talk • contribs) 22:57, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
