Talk:Asking Alexandria

Untitled

This sounds more like an advertisment for the band rather than an encyclopdia page. In my opinion it needs to be edited so it doesn't sound like like it's trying to sell the band. Ted (talk) 14:21, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Electronic hardcore

Electronic hardcore should be listed as a genre. NoremacDaGangsta (talk) 20:25, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

and euro-trance should be removed.83.87.230.126 (talk) 12:59, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

The band have themselves stated in interviews that the electronic music they implement is euro-trance and it should therefore not be removed. I am positive to adding electronic hardcore in addition to euro-trance however. Petternitter (talk) 21:55, 1 September 2010 (UTC).

Does anyone know why post-hardcore was removed as a genre? I reckon it should be considered to be added again. This band clearly implements newer post-hardcore in their music. Petternitter (talk) 21:58, 1 September 2010 (UTC).

I met the group and speant a whole day with them, they constantly refered to AA as a metal band or a "breakdown metal band". • GunMetal Angel 07:04, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Genres should not be determined this way. You can't cite "speant a whole day with them" as a source. You can quote last.fm, however, and their genre tagging system. Top 5 genres for Asking Alexandria are post-hardcore, metalcore, screamo, electronic, & hardcore. Robo042 (talk) 04:56, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't determining anything; it's just showing what they're influenced by (metal). Plus if you want your source; go read AP; even they're marketing them as a metalcore group. • GunMetal Angel 07:27, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Technical/progressive metal?

I feel they show some elements. Anyone else agree? Some of their breakdowns are in the style of Born Of Osiris and Veil Of Maya. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.247.226 (talk) 23:52, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Well a lot of bands sound progressive at different times while not even being listed as progressive. As for the breakdowns, they sound kind of crafty akin to that of Born of Osiris. If you wanna hear even more technical breakdowns, look up a band named Did You Mean Austalia?. • GunMetal Angel 07:09, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Similarly-named upcoming 2011 album

Finnish metal band, Children of Bodom's 2011 full-length is going to be titled Relentless Reckless Forever, while Asking Alexandria's 2011 album is going to be titled Reckless and Relentless. We may need a distinction between these two articles when they are made. GunMetal Angel 19:22, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Genres

I feel that the specific generes listed for this band should have reliable sources and not be based on the opinion of some random fan. I find last.fm to be an excellent source this kind of thing. The top 5 genre last.fm tags for Asking Alexandria are post-hardcore, metalcore, screamo, electronic, and hardcore. I vote that the genres be listed as such. Robo042 (talk) 04:40, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Last.FM is the least reliable source that sources can get. Don't make us laugh. - GunMetal Angel 18:24, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Origin

Someone had put that the origin was somewhere in arabia. Which is incorrect. Their origin is York, North Yorkshire so please do not undo/rollback that change.Crowned jester (talk) 16:01, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

You are incorrect. Perhaps if you read the entire article you will understand why. - Jer757 16:36, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
