This article is horribly written.

It is. I can't revise it because I'm not sure of thier past history and everything. Anyone care to revise it? TearAwayTheFunerealDress 16:30, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

It is rather poorly written, and certain things are missing, for example, the Psi-Ops video game promotion, playing at E3 etc. Also, the artwork should be changed, it looks way too low res for something like this.

-- Speaking of games, the song "Happens All The Time" is also included with the Xbox 360 Hard Drive as one of the pre-loaded songs. --Really? Interesting, didn't know that, then again, I don't own a 360..yet.

  • I am actually collecting some EPs, and right now here are some that this article are missing:
    • Cold - Give
    • Cold - Something Wicked This Way Comes
    • Cold - Project 13
    • Cold - Stupid Girl (Single)
    • Cold - Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy Soundtrack
    • Cold - A Different Kind Of Pain: Bonus Tracks
  • There is also a "Unreleased Cold" cd which is extremely rare, and the "Go Away EP".

[edit] Disbanding?

So does Cold still exist or not? This article is confusing. It first says that Cold is bowing out gracefully or whatever, but then the last line says that Cold hasn't disbanded.

Cold has most definately not disbanded but rather gone on a hiatus as stated somewhere in the article. Scooter Ward and Sam McCandles have been recording new material for a side project band titled "The Witch." Scooter stated that this new band's songs would be even darker than those by Cold. As of now, there is no tour for The Witch and nothing about an album being released. They (Scooter and Sam) are still in the recording process and Scooter stated on the Witch's official Myspace (www.myspace.com/thewitchproject) that it could be very well up to a year before anything about an album is done. Cold still lives on and will eventually be making music once again.

No, they're on hiatus so far as I know, someone hacked Ward's myspace and announced a supposed break up.
  • I have a question on the following sentence:
Very recently, Ward's MySpace account was hacked by an imposter. Ward appologised for any comments the imposter made and announced that Cold isn't going to disband.
  • Does this mean that Cold isn't going to disband, or that the hacker said that Cold isn't going to disband, and therefore it's a lie?
  • It should be rephrased as "Cold is not, despite what the hacker said, disbanding" or "The hacker stated that Cold was not going to disband. This isn't true however".

[edit] post-punk revival?

AMG calls them that, and many other sources call them punk. Itachi1452 00:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] When November Falls

I have made some contributions to the article on Scooter's new project When November Falls, also i have made a page for the debut album The Series of Emotion, both of them will need more information otherwise they will be deleted... i really hope this doesn't happen... p.s. the new songs are awesome check out their myspace page to listen *smiles*. --Dave 07:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Whoever added the new stuff...

Please fix it... some of the singles point to pages about other albums of other bands, which i'm sure isn't intended, please make pages for them eg. for the single Give maybe you could make a page for them (and others) with like Give (Cold Album), that way they'll have their own page :). I love Cold but since i don't have the singles and things like that which someone who added them does (unfortunatly whoever made the edit did it without a wikipedia username :'( ). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.253.63.81 (talk) 12:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Christian influences/rock etc

Actually, even there is no proof of it, or even verified, Scooter Ward is a very religious person, as is witnessed with songs such as Cure My Tragedy (A Letter To God). While he isn't "outspokenly" Christian and I don't think it honestly belongs on the page, I believe that is where people who add it might construe it from. -- Shatterzer0 00:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I guess that makes sense. But as you said, it is not factual. I do love that song though. Johaen 01:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
