Talk:Blue October

message: Was "Razorblade" from History for Sale never officially released as a single?  It got plenty of radio play here in Austin, but of course that isn't a good indicator.  For that matter I heard "Inner Glow" on many occasions as well. UnhandledException 21:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure, but it does seem "Razorblade" was a single; I also live in Austin, though, so I'm probably thinking it was for the same reason you are. That said, I've looked around and can't find any official singles for History for Sale other than "Calling You". jareha (comments) 06:02, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wonder if "Razorblade" was released as a single under Brando before Universal picked up the album and re-released it.  Probably impossible to find out for sure. UnhandledException 06:33, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Blue October's MySpace friends and listens numbers will always be in flux. Why not have interested visitors just click the MySpace link at the bottom of the article and save ourselves the trouble of keeping both numbers up to date? With that question in mind I've removed the following:
:Blue October's MySpace profile boasts 66,083 friends. The profile has a video of "Hate Me" as well as their appearance on Jay Leno.  There have been 1,936,730 listens as of June 4, 2006.

replies: text: According to the band they don't fit into any genre so they made up thier own. They call thier music "Bipolar Art Rock". You can watch the clip about it on MTV Buzzworthy Blog 5 things about Blue October. --Twilightmom (talk) 22:58, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

message: "The band is best known for the single "Hate Me" from the album Foiled." Is this statement still accurate? A good argument could be made that "Into The Ocean" is the band's signature piece. LayneJohnson 01:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Best known for "Hate me"? 

message: There's a disambiguation notice at the top of this article pointing to Blue October (British band), saying that it's a different band with the same name, but that article has the same band members and songs listed.  What's going on?  Has the British group's page been contaminated with info that belongs here, or is there even such a band?

thread_title:  Two Blue Octobers? 

message: I cleared out a few recent edits that included the creation of a "Critisism" section.  Usually if a band's page features such a section, it is because of the band's controversial message or actions.  It is not in keeping with Wikipedia's style to cite critisisms of a band's creative merits unless said critisism comes from a well-known, authoritative source, or one who's celebrity status is such that their opinion of a band garners wide public interest.  In other words, a bash from an internet blog and a local paper do not warrent citation.
Lastly, it was writen on February 20 that "Foiled" was certified platinum on February 21.  This may be true but obviously the dates don't make sense.--Atomicskier 17:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I have several photos that I took when I went to the concert in March. I have been trying the get them into the commons area but not having much luck. I have excellent photos of Justin, Jeremy and Matt. CB left too soon and Ryan does not allow photos after the show. If you can provide more simple instructions on how to add photos I will get them up ASAP --Twilightmom (talk) 22:47, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I was just wondering if it was just me but doesnt Blue October have somewhat of an english flair. And i swear that the Vocalist has an accent. But then on the behind the scenes it dissapears. Anyone else know whats going on??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.134.100.213 (talk) 04:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry to disappoint you, but the British sound (if you want to call it that) is just their style.  People say that about the same thing about The Killers.  I think it was Rolling Stone that jokingly called them "America's Best British Band."  Sometimes American bands sound British, sometimes British bands sound American.  Who cares?  --Atomicskier 01:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Justin of Blue October has been described as being the next Peter Gabriel... although I really cannot tell an accent. CascadiaTALK|HISTORY 15:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The single "Jump Rope" is missing from the Singles section. It is off there "Approaching Normal" album and has hit #1 in Luxembourg and is doing well in a few other countries in Europe.
