Talk:The Living End/Archive 1

message: Over the last week I've seen TLE's genre change from punkabilly, to punk pop and now back to punkabilly.
I've just done a quick search and the bands genre is mentioned as punkabilly on the bands profile at many well known sites, including mtv.com, launch.yahoo.com and vh1.com. So that no one changes it in the future, it does seem that punkabilly is the right choice. Feel free to debate this, but I don't think it should a problem, just pointing it out.

message: Although they are technically The Living End, I dont think they should be merged, due to not specifically playing TLE songs all the time. Runaway Boys was a coverband that played some orginal material, and the Longnecks played some original material and some choice covers. I dont think they should be merged. Thats my 2 cents.
:The Longnecks should be merged into this article, they preety much are the living end. However The Runaway Boys has potential as an article and isnt part of the living end, and should not be merged into it. --Dan027 12:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Should Travis Demsey's reasons for leaving the band be mentioned? As of now, it merely says that The Living End recorded their new album with Andy Strachan, with no explanation. Demsey left the band to spend more time with his family, if I'm not mistaken.
:Sure if you can find some sources there is no harm in adding this. also please sign your comments with the 3 tides  --Dan027 14:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The TLE websites has announced a 2007 release (probably not an ordinary single, but a radio-only single with video). The Cold Chisel song "Rising Sun" being covered, for a multi-artist tribute album. Implications: Something to be added to Singles list. However, I do not know how to categorize it as of yet. 58.167.61.91 07:03, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I would wait until that album is released before adding it, but if it's 100% confirmed with a verifiable source, you can add it. I would add it to The Living End song list down the bottom, under "Other Releases", like the other similar ones there. --Dane ~nya 07:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't really know where this would go (or even really if it's valid, but seriously, what are the chances?), but it should be mentioned that their name came from a song by The Jesus and Mary Chain off of Psychocandy.

replies: text: In any case you would need a reference for it. The phrase "the living end" has been in common use at least since the 60's and it appears in a song from the late 70's by Dave Edmunds called Girls Talk, so you might just as well say it comes from that song, unless you have an actual reference from the band that makes that statement.

message: OK, I have fixed every single thing that calls the third album "MODERN ARTillery". This is not what the album is called. 
It is called "Modern ARTillery". Even the official The Living End Website calls the album "Modern ARTillery" (see here: http://www.thelivingend.com.au/onlinestore/products.php?cat=7), with only capitals on the ART.
However, Wikipedia naming conventions (see here) state that album titles are not to be given stylised titles on pages. Redirects have been put in to Modern Artillery (album).  Even though "Modern ARTillery" is the correct title, Wikipedia guidelines state that it should be called "Modern Artillery".

message: The band were in Triple J's Hottest 100 between 1997 and 2007, however, the Hottest 100 played in 2007 is called "Hottest 100 2006" (since it's the hottest 100 of the previous year). So the band were in the Hottest 100, 1996 (broadcast 1997) to Hottest 100, 2006 (broadcast 2007). Can we communicate this in a slightly more elegant - but none-the-less clear - fashion that I have just done?

replies: text: I don't think the year it was played is a huge issue, its still the hottest 100 of the year it was voted for, the year and date it was played should be mentioned in the main article of each hottest 100. --Dan027 (talk) 01:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I changed the musical genre to 'alternative rock' as this is what they refer to themselves as on their myspace page.

message: Instead of the unreferenced crap that's there now "2007 saw Chris Cheney isolated from his band mates trying to write the follow up to "State of Emergency" he was disappointed with the results so he took up Yoga, spent time painting and being around his baby daughter whilst taking a break from music for the first time in 10 years." I think it should be totally re-written, it's ended up being a pretty major part of the band's direction, here's a massive article on it all. kiac (talk) 14:17, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Perhaps someone more familiar with wikipedia could help me out.  I added today that "White Noise" was mixed at Silent Sound Studios, in Atlanta, Georgia.  Problem is I have no direct reference other than first hand knowledge.  If this is inadmissible, I guess it should be deleted.  Perhaps someone could look into it.  Thanks!  66.64.239.254 (talk) 01:51, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Was it reverted or something? If it was, that would be because of Wikipedia's policy on Original Research. I'm sure there would be references out there, there has been a heap of articles on them recently and in the past, and a lot of interviews. It's just a matter of someone getting around to finding a reference and adding it. I'm thinking of fixing the page up, like i did with the discography, just going to wait until the edits slow down so i don't spend half my time removing silly additions (not saying yours is :)). kiac (talk) 10:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
