Some of the links in the article link back to the article itself(!). Perhaps it would be of service to either a) remove the Moebius links, or b) actuallywrite an article for that entry? Dunno, just a thought. --Tirolion21:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
this information is better located inside of the individual articles, it merely clutters the area.AlexOvShaolin21:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
I understand they're from Tokyo, but where are they mainly located now?JeffreyGomez09:13, 28 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
- Good question, although judging by an interview with them last year they are still based, somewhere, in Japan as thats their home. I will look into exactly where; it may be on their myspace.ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ)15:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
- they're based in Tokyo per their website:http://www1.parkcity.ne.jp/mltbanan/i_about.html24.18.137.245 (talk)04:07, 14 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
There are two problems with this section... firstly its notability, which I question, but I guess might be worth a comment. Secondly though, the speculation constitutes original research. Therefore, unless it's properly cited within 24 hours I'm going to delete it.—Precedingunsigned comment added by82.6.97.81 (talk)20:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
there has to be a page for her, shes awesome.Terrasidius (talk)17:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
As much as I love Melt Banana, the wording in the "Style" and "Live Performances" sections should be changed. The wording in a couple of the sentences tries too hard to convince you that Melt Banana is an awesome band. As true as that may be, it's not really neutral and should be fixed....—Precedingunsigned comment added by76.229.181.13 (talk)16:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
The 'General Relativity' section might want an overhaul as well then..—Precedingunsigned comment added byColobus (talk •contribs)10:40, 27 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
- Agreed with both of you, I will try and get some time to do it ASAP, Im currently really busy withFSOL andElliot Goldenthal, I love MxBx too. also gonna create that page for Yasuko and Rika mm' (rikas leads back to melt banana page) soon.ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ)15:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
- I guess noone has found time to fix this article yet? POV laden, still.Hrhadam (talk)09:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
- The article other than the Style and Live Performances sections has improved. I was hoping someone else would fix those two - if I do it, they'll be reduced to a single sentence apiece...Shieldforyoureyes (talk)10:39, 4 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I've seen them twice, and Yuko did not say "We are Melt-Banana from Tokyo, Japan!"... It's a detail but...Xic667 (talk)14:17, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
I agree. I've seen them several times and I don't believe she ever started the show with that statement. She does say it occasionally mid-set. Besides, I'm not sure it's notable.The Incident (talk)15:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
- It's always after the first couple of songs, never at the very beginning. I don't think it's notable either.Shieldforyoureyes (talk)15:54, 13 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Does anybody know what can be considered a reliable source? There are tour journals from a roadie for MxBx named Smelly at (okay, I can't like to the site).
I met the guy a couple of times so I know he was real. In any event, his journals are a pretty interesting read, but is it possible to cite them for this article?The Incident (talk)16:05, 13 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
In the "Members" section of the table her surname is listed as Chang, but in the "line up" section of the main article it is listed as Hamamoto.--P-we Joplin (talk)02:51, 25 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
www.allmusic.com lists her surname as Hamamoto. Can we consider that to be definitive?The Incident (talk)15:05, 25 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Alot of the refferences I use come from allmusic.com so I think that is correct. I've changed it to hamamoto on the section that I was talking about. To be honest I realy didn't think it would be Chang, it doesn't sound right. I don't know where they got the name Chang from, I even suspect that someone may have changed it to that for a joke.--P-we Joplin (talk)16:29, 9 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Does anyone have any information on the new live album "Melt-Banana lite LIVE: ver.0.0"? It is due to come out in november and I think it should be mentioned here (if anyone can find references). --P-we Joplin (talk)13:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
I do not understand what the objection to this description is. I can't rewrite it to fit someoneelse's criteria if I don't understand. Are you actually saying that no one is allowed to putan adjective in front of a noun, if the noun happens to be the name of a genre? If "new-wave" and"grindcore" are just too close to each other in the sentence, that is trivial to fix. Or do youthink that claiming that Melt-Banana's music includes elements of new-wave and grindcore is incorrect?Please CONTRIBUTE to the article, simply deleting it down to "noise rock" does not result in a good description. (I don't care in the slightest what the genre tag in the box thing is. I only care about the text description in the body of the article.)Shieldforyoureyes (talk)03:40, 23 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
- Using blast beats doesn't make you a grind band, or even grind influenced. Honestly, if Dave Witte never played with Melt-Banana, I don't think anyone would try to apply the grind label.174.62.79.236 (talk)02:12, 13 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
I was going to edit the names down to using just their last name throughout the article (after the customary full-name introduction), but then I realised that (I believe) Japanese names are family name-given name, as opposed to North America and Europe, where it's given name-family name. So which do we use here? Even the infobox picture is confusing, as it uses one member's first name, and another member's second name. Anyone know what to do here?72.37.244.28 (talk)21:55, 23 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
The tone of this article is really bad, talking about the band's "impressive" arsenal of effects and going on and on about their playing style, explaining noise rock, etc...— Precedingunsigned comment added byJondo156 (talk •contribs)22:33, 1 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
- Be bold and change the article to make it moreneutral! Or provide some suggestions here on how you would like to see the article improved.MrMoustacheMM (talk)18:21, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
