[edit] Photos

There are way too many pictures in this article that don't relate to anything actually being discussed in the body of the article. Basically the entire right side of the article looks like a gallery. Most of the pictures claim to be copyright free or to have been released by the copyright holder, but I highly doubt that is true in most cases. Several of them are very clearly promotional images taken from band websites, which are copyrighted. Can we request a review of these images, and clear out the ones that aren't useful? Remember, all images must conform to Wikipedia policies, particularly copyrighted pictures which must meet the criteria at WP:NONFREE.--IllaZilla (talk) 23:13, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2008

The first bands for 2008 have been announced here:

http://www.rocklouder.co.uk/articles/4479/First-bands-confirmed-for-Warped-Tour-2008.html

I think this would be a good chance to get the 2008 page started up, especially since they say there's going to be an additional 12-14 bands announced next week. DX927 18:10, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citing of one fact

""In 2007, a fire was set in the parking lot at the Mansfield, Massachusetts show, and Lyman posted cash reward posters, no questions asked, threatening to cancel all remaining post-show barbecues. While a BBQ band was turned in, and expelled from the tour, it later turned out that the perpetrators were individuals affiliated with Avenged Sevenfold.""

this needs to be cited to prove it was real. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.53.69 (talk) 04:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Solved the issue by taking out all the unreferenced/uncited parts in that section. Also just FYI new topics always go at the bottom of the talk page. --IllaZilla (talk) 08:30, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Just for the record. This doesn't seem real since Avenged Sevenfold wasn't even on the tour last year. They played the last date as a surprise. So I don't know why people affiliated with them would be in Massachusetts to start a fire. DX927 (talk) 02:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[1] might supply some of that. Can we use it as a picture in the article?--Wehwalt (talk) 02:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

What I meant was the claim was not real. The fire definitely did happen but the claims of who was involved is false. DX927 (talk) 20:17, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kia/Kevin Says Stage

Kia Motors is now the sponsor of the Kevin Says Stage. You can see it for yourself on www.kevinsaysstage.com but I just wanted to put this here before someone changed it. I'm guessing this may be due to the fact that Hot Topic is sponsoring a stage on the Rockstar Mayhem Tour. DX927 (talk) 04:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rape

I remember reading after the 2006 show in Calgary, Alberta the lead singer (who was a girl) of some band was raped. Does anyone know what band it was? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clark.d.kennedy (talk • contribs) 03:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
