[edit] 7 Nation army or Seven?

I am unsure, the article says the single said "7". --69.92.47.74 03:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Earlier video?

I'm pretty sure there was an earlier SNA video where a different video effect was used to repeat Meg and her drum set all over the screen in various scenes. Anyone know where I can view that one? --J. J. 19:41, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Thats not SNA its Hardest Button to Button

Yeah, JJ. There is only one Seven Nation Army video. The one that you are talking about is Hardest Button to Button from the same album. The video is probably on YouTube or Google Videos. It might also be on Yahoo! Music. --S-MAN

[edit] Why the heck?

Why the heck did we delete my category? That was a damn good category with time well spent. --S-man 22:58, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics

I'm just wondering why the lyrics of the song aren't posted on this wiki or any other wiki based on a single. I don't know if it's some copyright issue but I'm just wondering.

Because it's dumb.

Lyrics aren't usually posted on Wikipedia, except for certain reasons such as in The Trial by Pink Floyd. Also, unless there is a lyrics sheet put out by the artist, they tend to be wrong and generate controversy. Plus, it looks kinda un-encyclopedic FinalWish 00:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Info on "fan chant"

While I concur with reverting the information by 212.34.164.166 for now since it was uncited, I wonder if the information regarding the spread of the "fan chant"-version of SNA should not be included, I've been to a couple of German grounds this year and there was virtually no match where I didn't hear the Seven Nation Army-riff being sung. Furthermore I've also read the story of the Roma fans bringing the song along from Belgium, so should we include this once there is a citable source on this or is that too much unnecessary information. --Jinxo 13:39, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Peppy On The Pooper"

is not a b-side, so I removed it.

[edit] Similar to the Cure's "Subway Song?"

I removed this comment because the "bass" line is not really similar to "Subway Song" at all; at least certainly not similar enough to be note worthy. Saying otherwise is merely an isolated opinion, not a belief that is widely supported by rock critics and the like.

It is actually very similar in terms of the notes used-- it is the rhythm that is significantly different. However, both seem to be derivative of traditionaly bass lines used frequently in the past, so I agree that it is not particularly relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.230.35.141 (talk) 23:38, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Audioslave

I think the word "live" should be taken out in the line "The band has been known to perform a cover of this song in their live concerts" because isn't that just redundant? I mean, all concerts are, essentially, live. --DancexwithxmexXx 14:34, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Agreed. It's gone. Martpol 09:40, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A Perfect Circle

Can someone give me a source about APC's cover of this song? I can't find any. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.219.130.242 (talk) 11:25, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
