[edit] Wrong, wrong, wrong

Write primarily about music. Their work is important, not their relation with publishing companies. 78.0.87.200 (talk) 03:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I disagree: their relationship with publishers is inseparable from the band's musical history. What if Capitol had not dicked them around on Fire Down Under - they would have really built on Narita and would have seen great success. As with so many bands, success or obscurity usually hinges upon the publisher's whims, not the band's talents. Dlchambers (talk) 13:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Record

At the end of the 'Early History' section it says "mostly to support Hagar (who Capitol realized had made the wrong record and was losing his fan base)". Which record of Hagar's was that? I do recall Hagar fading a bit around that time, but which album was 'wrong' and why/how was it wrong? Dlchambers (talk) 13:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
