Talk:Flipper (band)

message: Hey Ted, 
I wanted to add which vocals were Will's and which were Bruce's, but never saw them credited. What's a song from each?

message: No, Bruce did not steal the tapes from the Subterranean warehouse, or anywhere else.  This rumor seems to be a conflation of 2 separate unrelated incidents (er, except for the drugs...).  Rubin said originally that he was interested in signing the band for a new recording and licensing the Subterranean albums for CD reissue, but the contract he presented to the band at a meeting in Los Angeles gave him exclusive ownership of them, plus publishing rights for their songs.  It's unclear if the band had actually read it before signing.  In any case, the band got $20,000 and got to record one new album, Rubin got the rights to the 4 released albums, plus a completed but still unreleased 5th album (recorded at the same time as Gone Fishin' and completed after Will's death) which he's still sitting on.  After a brutal, exhausting and very expensive legal battle, Subterranean walked away with the rights to continue to press the LPs, but only for US domestic distribution.
As far as I know the Album is just a set of demos for Gone Fishin' recorded in 1982 along with some unreleased songs recorded during the singles and Generic sessions including The Wheel.  I've got the 1982 demos that they plan on releasing, the tracks are- Sacrfice, In Your Arms, Survivors of the Plague, In Life My Friends, One By One, Now is the Time, On and On, In the Garden, First the Heart, I Want to Talk, Flipper Blues, Get Away, Talk's Cheap, The Light the Sound the Rythem the Noise, and Kali.  It's also possible that they where referring to Will's A3I record, Ruins of America.
-- I used to always hear back in the day that Flipper was named after a dog (belonging to a dude named Eric) that got thrown off of the roof of Barrington (co-op in Berkeley) by some punks, and then the dog flipped over in the air on the way down...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 9eyedeel (talk • contribs) 22:54, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  More stupid rumors 

message: The article cited SSD as a band that contributed members to Flipper, which is definitely inaccurate.  I know there was a punk band from SF in the late 70s called SSI.  Is that what was intended? Justin Bailey 20:05, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Flipper's predecessor bands

message: If memory serves me well, I do recall reading articles back in the day in which the band's slow paced style was labeled "anti-punk" and were not actually considered "hardcore" Did the band apply this label, the listeners or both? Smiloid 08:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Flipper as "anti-punk?"

message: I have a bunch of stills posted up at PUNKCAST#1023 of the band in 2006 - I'd add some but I don't know that they're really needed. I've re-added the link to the EL's. I know one would best wish to find free images of the original line-up. It's not impossible that someone could be persuaded to GFDL something. We should find a good pic and target the photographer. I would think that the fish logo is notable enough to bear inclusion even if non-free if some copy were involved, particularly if it had cites. Wwwhatsup (talk) 02:10, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Past Members

message: Today the following notes were added to the article by User:64.194.67.52.
* History:(note by Bruce Loose: Singer and second bassist for Flipper) Flipper was Ted Falconi's band, Ricky only came up with the NAME)
* Early years (1979-1989): note by BRUCE LOOSE: Flipper was Ted was the founding band member, Ricky only gave the band a name, he was not founder!)
* Reformations (2002-present)(Scentless Apprentice): (note from BRUCE LOOSE) NOT ADDED TO SET LIST, ONLY PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE at LIVE SHOWS!! NOT PART OF SET LIST!
* Influence on other musicians (Will Shatter in jail): (note by BRUCE LOOSE: Will was not on that tour, Bruno was, we hit jail due of TED'S spiked wrist bands and a PILL found in one members bag giving us DURG and WEPONS charges, Bruno saved the day trying to cop plea for all charges, but this was to late. Promoters from the whole EAST cost had to write to the JUDGE of "Flippers reality", and not just a group of THUGS rampaging across the country)!
* Influence on other musicians (Moby): Moby sang for two SETS of shows, back thjen, trying to have me show him all of Flipper material, for he claimed he would play bass, but I knew better. Do you know of any Moby songs that sound like Flipper? I thought not. (note by BRUCE LOOSE)
They were reverted and the user was blocked. I would suggest that the assertions challenged above, if not reliably referenced, be expunged from the article. Wwwhatsup (talk) 21:06, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notes from Bruce Loose 

message: Why does the section for associated acts seems more like a game of 6 degree's of Kevin Bacon? Nirvana is an associated act? How so? Is it because the band Nirvana were fans of Flipper? Was it because they covered a Nirvana song? Was it because a former member of Nirvana joined the band for a short while? If Krist joining makes an association then shouldn't the Foo fighters be included. Well no because neither acts are associated with flipper.18:40, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

message: I modified the discography to add Falconi's Horn Concerto In D-Fault to the Sex Bomb Remix single.  It's on both sides of the record as a blast of squealing, squeaking sound that appears after Sex Bomb along with some snippets of conversation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.243.237.58 (talk) 01:43, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
