Talk:Brian Jonestown Massacre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Band name

• and the title of the horror movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The name uses the same poetic meter and syllable count as the name of the horror movie (iamb/iamb/dactyl) short-long/long-long/long-short-short.

This strikes me as original research. Is there any source to indicate that the movie influenced the band name, or are we just recording a coincidence? -Will Beback 21:23, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] members

• There are at least two dozen musicians who have been in the BJM at one point or another.

Is this website (http://oz.plymouth.edu/~cbrough/members/MEMBERS.HTML) a good source to change this information? FeverDrum 04:59, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hit albums

• Newcombe has been capable of creating a hit album in less than a day.

As much as I respect Newcombe, this is really a bit far... POV... Less than two weeks, maybe... but even then, when have the Brian Jonestown Massacre ever had a 'hit' album?

Ah, but if you read it carefully it never says he did it, just that he was capable of doing it. Perhaps in the interest of our Wikipedia:verifiability policy we should just leave it out until it has been proven. -Will Beback 05:36, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Ha - the only way to "prove" it would be to have him sit in a recording studio while being monitored by an observer for no more than 24 hours. At the end of that time, only the material he had generated in that period could be used in recording his album, no alterations would be permitted. The album would then have to be released and generate enough sales to be classified as a "hit" by some standard. Basically it's the most stupid statement ever put in wikipedia in the history of mankind. J Shultz 17:03, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
