Talk:The Tragically Hip

Just like to point out that there was never a president of MCA named Bruce Dickinson. Bruce Dickinson was the name of the lead singer for Iron Maiden. It is also the name of a pretty obscure sound enginner who produced and remastered Blue Oyster Cult's back catalogue in the late 80's who the writers of Saturday Night Live lifted out of the band's liner notes for the more cowbell sketch. I didn't edit the article, but I doubt The Tragically Hip were discovered by either a sound engineer or the guy from Iron Maiden.

"it was announced" by WHOM? that New Orleans is Sinking wouldn't be played anymore? If this is just a rumor, please don't include it.

I think it was just some Ottawa radio station. I haven't heard of any other bans.--Westendgirl 02:46, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Edmonton too, apparently. I know I heard them talking about it on the Edge in Toronto, but I don't think they said they were specifically pulling it...I'm sure most Canadian radio stations will just not play it for awhile, though. Adam Bishop 04:12, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

I remember when I was listening to the radio once in Toronto, and some person phoned in and requested NOIS, and they rejected it. This was back in early September. --Naga10 21:50, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

The noontime DJ for Edge 102.1 in Toronto played NOIS on the day of the hurricane, and then the next day, when the massive damage was more apparent, she did, in fact, say that were not going to play it for a while.

How many records/units have they actually sold?

New Songs:

"You See Details" is listed as a "new" song rumoured to appear on the forthcoming album, World Container, but it's from 1992 according to The Tragically Hip Unreleased Songs Information Page. Some lines from "You See Details" were sung in concert in '96... but it's still not really "new", and I can't find a source for its rumoured inclusion on the new album. Jam! lists all the others currently mentioned, but not that one, so I'm taking it out.--Strangepalefighter 06:37, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

You See Details is not going to be on the album. It was confirmed from the webmaster of the Hip "MAv" that it was actually a mistake on the setlist.

New track

Whoever put that the new track wouldn't sound out place on a barenaked ladies album is insulting the Tragically Hip. Also, I don't beleive that's anywhere close to NPOV but I thought I should give a heads up before deleting it. 207.6.121.17 01:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I really, really do not like the wording of the description of In View. A song by the Hip doesn't have just one meaning. The song could just as easily, and even a larger possibility, be about his (Downie's) daughter, who he's wrote about before. I'm going to fix that up. I'm going to remove that Barenaked Ladies comment, as well. --Naga 04:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Is it really necessary to have such a lengthy paragraph about that one song? It would be sufficient to say "they are releasing a new album on such-and-such a date and the first single is such-and-such song". Adam Bishop 06:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Who knows? It's a pretty big deal, this song. After the album comes out, or maybe even after Stratford, it can be shortened. I think it should stay like that, at least for now. --Naga 18:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

funny little canadian flag

Did you see the little canadian flag in the band box recently added. Funny, but, is it really useful. See also other canadian band as Finger Eleven, Our Lady Peace and in Category:Canadian rock groups

Ctrl Alt Delete?

Since when is their motto a tribute to the Hip? This seems like a stretch. Has anyone ever confirmed that it's a tribute? And isn't Tim Buckley American to boot? Chewbacca1010 19:40, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Christie Pitts

The trivia section ends with a history of Christie Pitts Riots of 1933. Anyone know why this is placed here?--68.40.90.204 (talk) 18:01, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

While not uninteresting, it has no clear relation to the rest of the article -- and even if it did, is full of uncited and NPOV material. I've deleted it. 172.136.135.80 (talk) 19:18, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
