[edit] Influence on other genres
ought someone to mention that their music inspired the then-drummer of Napalm Death, Mick Harris, to name grindcore grindcore, after saying that it was like the gridnig noise of Swans, but faster? 80.0.121.5 (talk) 20:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Singles
Shate!!! Shate!! shate! 'Saved' is far not the only single SWANS has released. There are plenty of singles. For information a link can be given to [1]
[edit] Sections
I've had a go at a different split of the article into three main sections. I've removed the Burning World section, since it didn't seem to make sense to have a whole section devoted to just one album, especially when it's not one of their best. Comments welcomed. --Richardrj 13:37, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notes
How might one add a note regarding the style of songwriting itself and its transformation from The Great Annihilator to Soundtracks for the Blind? I notice that the songs on the latter are more depressive and reserved, not unlike "Killing for Company" in the former but less percussive. Case in point "Empathy", "Animus", etc. How does one describe that in an article without ruining the flow?
[edit] Added Swans template
Added this template {{Template:Swans (band)}} I created to the article. Comments welcome. Lugnuts 20:02, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discog help
I've worked/am working through the discog and I've added most of their albums. Would like help from anyone who would like to "pad out" the individual album entries, so to speak. Including full running times, cover art, any other trivia/notes, etc. Thanks!Lugnuts 10:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Swans, 82.jpg
Image:Swans, 82.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Name
Is it like Scorpions, in that it is just "Swans" and not "The Swans"? Cubs Fan 04:15, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yep, it's just Swans. I believe there is/was a band from Manchester that is/was called The Swans. Lugnuts 07:22, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
