[edit] Sony re-releases This is BAD -- The Legacy Edition

On April 13, Sony re-released the first BAD album as a two-disc CD -- where should this go in the article? --Spiff666 (talk) 22:21, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit] They WHAT?

They WHAT? The first paragraph currently ends:

Though ostensibly a group, they

Sorry about that chief! I wanted to point out that B.A.D.'s membership is very fluid except for Mick Jones and double-clutched about where to put that. It appears later in the article, but then I forgot to go back and remove the incomplete sentence at the front. -- User:Paul Drye

[edit] Digital sampling

I removed:, is generally recognized as the first album by a major recording artist to include digital sampling techniques. . There are several problems with this - first, it is unattributed - generally recognised by whom? second, it can't be true - for example Peter Gabriel's 1982 album included "Shock the Monkey", which featured a Fairlight CMI, which really is "generally recognised" as the first digital sampling synth. However even that isn't completely agreed - the CMI article also mentions Kate Bush and others. Whichever is the case, 1982 is well before November 1985, which is when the BAD album was released. Graham 12:14, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Cutting edge promise"

I changed "but with the possible exception of the 1989 release, BAD never really captured the cutting-edge promise of their debut album" to "but critics argue that the band never really captured the cutting-edge promise of their debut album, with the possible exception of the 1989 release." The original sentence was an opinion.

[edit] Sound clips from films/tv etc

Nearly every song has a short sample of a piece of audio from a film/tv/etc. I want to include it this information but I don't know where. Troubleshooter 19:16, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I think such information should be included in album articles or even better in song articles. It would be too much on the artist page. Pietaster 19:17, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] band security director

I removed this info, is it noteworthy? maybe somehow fit it into the trivia section?--Bawtyshouse 19:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
