message: There is a rumor that the lyrics/title was originally "Everything's F**ked, and they called it Eminence Front to get it approved, and get radio airplay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.109.200.3 (talk) 2008-10-30T15:29:07
:That would definitely need reliable sources cited, instead of a rumor, if it was put in the article. --Closeapple (talk) 23:51, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

message: "The song itself focuses on the hedonistic lifestyle that was prevalent during the 1980s".
I love these song essays that are so clearly written by people much younger than the actual song. "Eminence Front" came out in 1982, when the UK was just over the early Thatcher recession and the US was deep in one. The '80s had barely gotten going then, and people were hardly living the hedonistic, boom-times lifestyle suggested by the lyrics, the one they would later on in that decade.
Aside from which, that should be cited. Daniel Case (talk) 16:55, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Supposed 1980s critique 

message: The vocal in Eminence Front is panned hard right, not hard left. I think the original writer/listener had their speakers the wrong way around. They won't have got a true stereo image either, if their speakers are portaying the stereo image in the wrong direction.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Compost (talk • contribs) 23:47, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The song produced a video, shot at a rehearsal in Landover, Maryland, during their 1982 US tour, which enjoyed consistent airplay on MTV upon its release. Footage from the Who's 1982 concert at Shea Stadium was also used in the video.
I don't think this paragraph makes it quite clear enough that the video uses an entirely different version from the one on It's Hard. I've always known this because I think the album version sucks hard: The solo is mostly a flub, Townshend's voice is at its nasally worst, they can't even sing the chorus line in unison (as noted elsewhere) and the "dress yourself to kill" ending is more offhanded than emphatic.
I don't know where the alternate version in the video comes from. It begins with shots of all the members arriving at the rehearsal hangar and setting up, until it's time for Pete to sing, at which point they're all set up and playing along. It seems like a truly live rehearsal video with an image-edited intro.
It wasn't that unusual to hear different versions of songs on MTV videos. Anybody remember The Fixx's "Red Skies"? The video was a completely different version. It appeared to be the  band performing live, but with no audience in sight.
