Talk:Fugazi

Instrument soundtrack

The instrument soundtrack does not appear to mentioned anywhere?

Fan site

WorldofFugazi.org — A fugazi fan site ///--- the link seems to be dead (its the last one i think)

Beginnings

"Picciotto originally only sang, Picciotto likened his role for the first two years, as that of a toaster but quickly incorporated his guitar playing into the quartet."

How, exactly, did Guy behave like a toaster? Can anyone provide a quote from him or from a book explaining this quote in more detail?

"Initially, the early stuff was predominantly put together by Ian and Joe as the stuff they had been working on prior to Brendan and I joining the band, and for the first 2 years I didn't play guitar but functioned almost like a toaster - doing back-ups, singing lead and dancing around. But once I started playing guitar the way we write changed dramatically - it became completely democratic with every song bearing everyone's imprint." [1]

So toasters Sing and dance now or what? XdiabolicalX 12:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps he meant in the Reggae sense where the MC's add additional lyrics over existing songs. This is just a guess as Fugazi clearly have Reggae influences - the electrical toaster idea just doesn't make any sense. Paul Tew 12:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I did think that but couldn't really see how it fitted with the article, you are right though it does make more sense that that of an electrical toster. XdiabolicalX 19:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

list of emo bands

why is this in the list of emo bands?

Because they are what Emo not My Chemical Romance or whoever. XdiabolicalX 12:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

see? the above cant even speak correctly let alone know what in the world theyre talking about. minor threat=hardcore; embrace=emo; fugazi=post-hardcore. seeing a progression and pattern here? its really not complicated. feb 10, androol

should this be taken off the list? if it is it should be taken off the emo band project that i see on topJkalltheway 21:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Emo isnt even a true genre of music. It's just a label people have been slapping on music since the early eighties, and the bands that get branded "Emo" arent all necessarily alike at all. Hence the reality that emo isnt really a genre of music, and I tend to agree with Guy when he says its the most retarded term ever.

• Indeed, Fugazi are certainly not emo. I'll take it off. - ZEROpumpkins 07:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to disagree but fugazi are propper emo. Rites of spring invented emo and it is clear the similarities in rites of spring's music and fugazi's. Definately a lot more similar than those of bands which are currently categroized as emo these days. 22 september disposableandy

• I think the majority of people would disagree with you there. Sure, Rites of Spring "invented" it, but that does not mean Fugazi must be it by default. Besides, there's not a great deal of emotional content in Fugazi's lyrics. - ZEROpumpkins 13:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Hardcore and Post Hardcore

How can a band be both hardcore and post-hardcore. I am going to change it for now, but if you disagree you can change it back, I suppose. --Kurasuke 22:48, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Fugazi aren't Industrial at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.56.48.235 (talk) 23:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Allmusic entry

What's with the allmusic entry of Fugazi being named "afghan w"? Take this review for example. A Fugazi album, right? Now click on their name. It leads to here, which is the artist info for Fugazi (check the biography and such), however, the name at the top if "afghan w". Did somebody hack Allmusic or something? -albrozdude 23:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

"Backronym"

How is Fugazi a backronym? It's an acronym just like SNAFU. There's nothing "back" about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BNutzer (talk • contribs)

Check an etymology dictionary: it's a backronym because the word predates the abbreviation, which was made up to fit. I believe this is in Partridge, but I'm on the road today, and I'll try to post a reference tomorrow. I reverted to "backronym". bikeable (talk) 06:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Changed back to acronym, as Fugazi is not a word, or at least not a word that Vietnam-era GIs were aware of. Quinine 10:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Fugazi-Repeater-3 Songs.jpg

Image:Fugazi-Repeater-3 Songs.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.

Reunion

Can any validate the reunion on september 3rd? My guess is that's probably a pranke, but I'd really like to know for sure.

update: it's a hoax http://dcist.com/2007/07/26/fugazi_reunion.php

Requested move

Fugazi (band) → Fugazi — The current disambiguation of "(band)" is unnecessary, especially as "Fugazi" only serves as a redirect to this article. —jareha ^(comments) 19:36, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
