Talk:Evans Blue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'Evans Blue is really blowing up. They are even better live! I actually did not know about them until their taproot tour when they came to Hollywood FL. I had went to see Taproot, and actually was in shock to see that I enjoyed hearing Evans Blue more. Ever since that day, I was hooked. Now Im the leader of their Florida chapter fan club, I can't wait until their show in September. Hopefully they will invite me to another after party! :)By the way their myspace is a cool site, they have really good songs on there, and a song you will only get there so enjoy!'

that's great...but this isn't a fan site. i'm also an evans blue fan, and i bought the cd, and was totally blown away by the songs, but still, this isn't really a fan site. Itachi1452 02:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Album

I don't know who deleted the entire album page, but they better knock it off. --Discharger12 02:30, 7 September 2006 (UTC) Oh, I see. Just some moron changing Volume to Sound. --Discharger12 02:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

lol, probably came from itunes. if you upload the cd onto itunes, it reads it as the melody and energetic nature of sound instead of volume. ironically, the store has it correct.Itachi1452 02:43, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Female Backup Vocalist

Does anyone know who the backup vocalist for the songs "Beg" and "Possession" is? I would think she should have some mention as well. Hmmm, just looked at the album page, so it's Sarah McLachlan?Offkorn 23:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

It's Tara McLean singing back-up vocals on the Possession track, according to the CD cover booklet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.225.120.131 (talk) 00:38, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Band Picture

Just a request for everyone to look out for a band picture that's fit for Wikipedia standards. The article is a tad lacking in comparison to some of the other band articles.. OEP 18:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I did find this, but it is straight off the band web site so I'm not sure how copyrights, etc, should be handled. OEP 00:11, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

If somebody could use an updated band photo I would much appreciate it. I'm not sure how to go about the copyright issues, etc involved. Preferable a photo with the new drummer, from their website. 15 August 2007.

[edit] Info Box Redo

I tried a mockup of using the musical artist wikiproject template rather than the Infobox_band that was there. It's over at User:OEP/Sandbox/Evans_Blue, using a still unconfirmed picture which I guess I'll change to the most appropriate copyrighted status if nobody sees otherwise what it is. If no one objects, I'll merge that box too. OEP 06:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nu Metal?

the page used to also mention nu metal. personally, i don't think evans blue is a nu metal band, but i think that some songs have nu metal influences, like a cross and a girl named blessed, or even the opening riff for songs like stop and say you love me. Itachi1452 02:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

this is the crap people who used to listen to Linkin Park listen to now. fuck

i know, that sucks. once, a user wrote a 1 star review for cold but i'm still here from itunes, saying that they tried to write a linkin park style of music, and failed. wtf. Itachi1452 12:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Name

Seeing as the only difference between this band's article name and the other article about a dye is the capitalization of the letter "b", I believe that the name of this article should be "Evans Blue (band)", as it would be more fitting for Wikipedia's guidelines.

[edit] Tattoo

to whoever put the info about Matisyns tattoo: thank you, and I was wondering where you got the info? Did you just recognize the symbols because I notice that it is a fairly common symbol (the fish).

[edit] Genre

I shall bring the discussion here so as to try to prevent an edit war continuing (I realise inadvertently that I have breached the 3RR and so will wait the alloted 24-hour period before correcting the page again). Here is the issue under discussion, which the other editor has thus far made no attempt to bring to the discussion page:

Evans Blue are not alternative metal. They do not meet the criteria for a heavy metal band, and so cannot be counted. Unless a RELIABLE source on the subject matter can be provided, they aren't keeping that tag.

Two sources have been provided. One is yourhub, which as far as I'm aware is not a reliable source. The second is the band's myspace page, which has never been a reliable source as bands can and will call themselves whatever they want.

Hence, no evidence of this genre tag has been provided, and as soon as is reasonable I shall correct the page, unless proper evidence can be provided. Prophaniti (talk) 20:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

You're confusing heavy metal with alt metal. Reading through the alternative metal article it's seems clear that Evans Blue fit into that category (they're also listed in List_of_alternative_metal_artists). While not mentioning Evans Blue, in the article bands very similar to EB are mentioned, such as Chevelle, a band that draws very similar influences. As for sources.. best I can find after looking further is Rhapsody listing them in the alt. metal section [1]. I admit this is a band that has received little coverage so finding sources online can be difficult. So.. perhaps we could consider replacing it with hard rock? MSN list them as such [2], as does AllMusic [3], mp3.com [4]. Anyhoo. Rehevkor (talk) 20:47, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, ultimately I'm not going to continue pressing it massively. My primary gripe is more concerning an attempted clean-up of the alternative metal genre as a whole, i.e. removing a number of bands who don't fit as heavy metal. Alt. metal is listed as a subgenre of heavy metal music, and so by definition all bands within it must be in significant part heavy metal. This, I feel, Evans Blue does not fulfil, although that's no judgment on their musical quality in case it's coming across as metal elitism like that. Hard rock would suit perfectly fine, in my opinion. Prophaniti (talk) 20:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
