What FtWorthMusic.com says "as if the guitar were telling"

        "This foursome from Navo, Texas (a small town north of Dallas), has created a unique artistic image for themselves, looking at the world as if through a surreal artist's eyes (and music is art, so these guys are technically artists- and surreal ones, at that!) With a steady beat provided by drummer Isaiah Contreras, each song features unique guitar riffs, as if the guitar were telling the story itself. Melancholy, hip hop rock-style vocals...provided by percussionist Michael Reddee, guitarist Jason Hayes, and bassist Sapo tell the story of four young artists and their view of the world, their lives, and more...."

What FtWorthMusic.com/DallasMusic.com says... "high-energy, well executioned"

        "Lykaden's recent show @ Graffiti's Rock Room (5/7/04) was high-energy, well executioned, and, at times, humorous. Guitarist Jason "Heyjay" Hayes splashes color through melodic riff, rhythyms and old school metal soloing. Bassist Joel "Sapo" Clary & drummer Isaiah Contreras are able to hit a solid groove (I found myself bopping my head, however slightly). Therein lies the band's creative edge over other metal drones...the band pushed boundries & favored the experimental over the mundane. The same was true with Rage Against the Machine (which I liked quite a lot, mostly due to the bouncy funk, Tom Morello's guitar playing and Zack de la Rocha's leftist political passion). Queens of the Stone Age are another band that brings a healthy zest to the metal scene. In guitarist Hayes, Lykaden has a treasure of great passion & creativity, evident in his guitar playing & singing. That treasure puts Lykaden over almost any of the tortured Korn wannabe's..."

        Lykaden has teamed up with National Noise, Left Ear Entertainment & Inbred Threads for the release of 'She Can Do'. This is a strong taste of what's to come in the near future on a new album. Some of the other top bands on the CD include Hollow and Mad Mexicans.

Get your copy of Bring The Rock at the National Noise & Inbred Threads booth at the BFD concert! National Noise


What TexasGigs.com says... "I Like-a-dem Lykaden!"

        "HooooooWeeeeee do I love this band! These boys are tight and full of energy. Their tunes scream rock-n-roll...the good kind, the way it's meant to sound. The band consists of Jason Hayes on guitar and vocals, Michael Reddee on vocals and percussion, Sapo on bass & Isaiah Contreras on drums. It seems Michael Reddee and Jason Hayes are the brains behind the band's super-terrific-happy-hour songs. Isaiah is one fine drummer, I might add.

This band is worth checkin' out!" Posted by Cindy Chaffin of TexasGigs.com


What FtWorthMusic.com/DallasMusic.com says... Lykaden is a featured band on FtWorthMusic.com "Lykaden has an out-of-this-world guitarist!"

        "Lykaden has an out-of-this-world guitarist! He made some pretty amazing sounds come out of his guitar. The band is like experimental mood metal drowned in anger. I loved it!"

What DallasLocalMusicScene.com says... "You're for sure gonna want more Lykaden"

        "Five tracks is not enough to do this album justice, Lykaden brings the noise with their new EP. With their hard driven guitars and Sublime style lyrics, expect nothing but a solid album from this Richardson, TX band. Mike Reddee, lead vocals, can spit out lyrics faster than Eminem, but yet maintain a smooth flow over catchy guitar licks. Lead guitarist Jason Hayes must of taken a page from Jimmy Page’s book because his unique style brings a full plate to the table. First track on the album “Wilt” is screaming for airplay on a radio station somewhere in this country. With its reggae style lyrics and loopy guitar sound, “Wilt” will have your head bobbing up and down.
        Who let Danzig out on track two “Two Times Removed”? Not that is a bad thing of course!! “Super metal punk funk rap rock alt”, couldn’t describe it any better on “Less Depressed” If you can follow what he’s saying for about five seconds, Frazzl’d will treat you to a ice cream sandwich. Track three is by far one of the fastest songs I’ve ever heard, but who said Lykaden was a pop band….who, huh, what? What was running through my mind when I first put on “Less Depressed”, I thought “Wow, what a great guitar intro, kind of like “Even Flow” by Pearl Jam.”
        Just when I thought Lykaden couldn’t pull off a good semi metal punk rap rock alt. Ballad, here steps in the last two tracks on the EP “Figure It Out” and “Day Before Tomorrow”. Remember that ice cream sandwich? Well, Lykaden brought it’s volatile live energy to this album, with it’s catchy, loopy guitar licks and free style flowing lyrics, you're for sure gonna want more Lykaden after this five song tasty treat."

What DallasMusic.com says...

"Completely caught up in the music. Good job!"

        "Lykaden, with the crowd ready to go, jumped right on it with the band moving the room...the ride all night was a lot of fun...watching Mike and Jason jam I was completely caught up in the music. Good job! I would like to see Lykaden sometime when I am not at work!!"

VG To-do:

I have just noticed the recent editing of this page and have to interject that stating "Jason Hayes is ..." is both inaccurate and a bit arrogant. Obviously there is more than one Jason Hayes (Google the name and you'll see - currently, I am #3 on the list below this Wiki entry and the musicbyjason page). We all have different backgrounds, histories, interests, etc. Therefore, this page should be updated to allow each "Jason Hayes" to have a section, or it should be deleted. Jthayes 20:24, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Unless you can prove, through newspaper, magazine and book mentions, that you are as notable as this Jason Hayes, well, then, no.-Mask? 23:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


Jason 19:46, 11 April 2007 (UTC)PickaguitarJason 19:46, 11 April 2007 (UTC) My name is also Jason Hayes. This is a conflict between Jason Hayes the musician and Jason Hayes the game/audio person.

I'm not sure who I'm talking to or why but unless you, I, they, us or whomever agrees how to settle this...my contacts, myself, fans and company will continue to remove the content from this specific name Jason Hayes. We will need an equal resolution to this issue in a expedient manner. You may contact my manager by email if you like: info@lykaden.com, thursdaysproductions@mail.com or jason@jasonhayes.com.

Actually it is a discussion between Jason Hayes (the environmental researcher/writer), Jason Hayes the musician, and someone named "AKMask" who appears to be representing Jason Hayes the video game music composer.

As I noted in my last comment, "a bit arrogant" to simply brush off my request with nothing more than a "no".

First, there is precedent for setting up this type of page (i.e. a disambiguation page - [1]) where more than one person has a legitimate claim to a name and simply stating that "Jason Hayes is ..." can cause confusion. See the "Steven Harper" page for an example [2]. On that theme, I have trouble believing that "the fictional character from Boston Public" is at least "as notable" as the Prime Minister of Canada.

Second, here is a very short list of proof that I also have a legitimate claim to the name and a good reason for requesting that the Jason Hayes page be turned into a disambiguation page.

I own several "Jason Hayes" domains - www.jasonhayes.org, www.jasonhayes.us, www.iamjasonhayes.com, www.whoisjasonhayes.com. Check the whois registry for proof.

When you Google the name "Jason Hayes," my blog "Musing" comes up as #3 on the list - below this Wiki entry and Jason C Hayes' website. Yahoo has me @ #6. The Technorati blog search has me at #1 [3].

I have been published and spoken internationally on a varity of energy, environmental, wildlife management, and policy issues. I have also produced and edited major conference proceedings in the energy industry and currently edit a major industry magazine (American Coal)

I was just cited in a CNNMoney.com article http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/03/news/economy/clean_coal/?postversion=2007040407 and have been published/cited in a variety of other newspapers, magazines, and web sources (American Coal magazine, Energy-Tech magazine, CoalTrans International, The Calgary Herald, Canadian Instititue of Mining and Metalurgy (CIM) Bulletin, www.enterstageright.com, The Welland Tribune, the Mississauga News, The Fraser Institute (Critical Issues Bulletin - "Science Fiction or Science Fact: Grizzly Biology and Models for Parks Management" & the Canadian Student Review).

I could go on, but I believe you get the point.

While I do not agree with the other Jason that it is acceptable to just delete one person's information and replace it with something else, whether the wiki community that first established the page likes it or not, I most definitely agree with him that it is not reasonable to simply state that "no," the page will not be edited for any reason. I also agree with him that it is reasonable for two people with the name "Jason Hayes" to question who this "AKMask" person thinks they are to determine who, what, where, when, why, or how wrt to the edits made to this page.

I thought that the Wiki was established as a means of getting accurate information out. Purposefully limiting a page like this to only one individual is misleading.

I'm assuming that you are the same user as account User:Pickaguitar. Given that, I have already told you what you need to do to try to get yourself an article here. Your situation now has nothing at all to do with this page. The existence or not of the page about one Jason Hayes has absolutely no bearing on the existence or not of another. Continuing your campaign for a page for you here, on the talk page of a totally different person, gets you nothing except for irritating the other editors. So please, go read the comments I have left for you at User talk:Pickaguitar, read the pages I linked in, and proceed from there. I cannot promise you will not have your page deleted, I have said I'm a poor judge of notability, but if you are to have any chance of having a page you need to focus on your page, not on a page that is totally unrelated to you except for a coincidence of names. - TexasAndroid 23:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


You're assuming incorrectly; I detailed that in my last comment (there's 3 Jason Hayes-es involved here). I had not seen your comments on the User:Pickaguitar page until you noted them here.
Regarding your other comments, fair enough. I noted, in my comment, that simply editing or deleting the original Jason Hayes entry was inappropriate and suggested a disambiguation page. However, I wanted to find out if that was appropriate before I made any moves to make an entry like that.
Thanks for taking the time to clarify things. Feel free to remove my previous comments on this talk page, as you see fit.

[edit] This is rediculous

First off, I dont represent anyone, I'm a well established editor of the encyclopedia, second, we require notability. Simple as that. See WP:N. Thats really the extent of it. -Mask? 00:44, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
