The article reads like it was written for a gung-ho music magazine; it's a lot less formal in its presentation than most articles I've seen on Wikipedia. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing; it's hard to be clinical and objective about a subject such as music, so perhaps the writing style here is strictly necessary to convey any information at all about the band. I just thought I'd raise the question.

A Little Bias in the article

For Beautiful Creatures, he traded hair spray and the two-dimensional '80s sound for hair dye and a mix of glammy hooks with gritty, hard-hitting post-grunge rock.

You know not all 80s rock was 2 dimensional, in fact Bang Tango were a glam funk metal band. This statement seems to be written by a modern mark.

A little bias in the article? How about a LOT of bias in the article? I was going to comment here on that same statement, and I am glad to see someone else caught it. I'd like to see the person that wrote this article pick up a guitar and try to come close to that "two-dimensional" sound. Unless the article was written by George Lynch or Warren DiMartini, I don't think he/she has the right to make such a statement. As soon as I can figure out a way to word that comment better, I'm doing so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.131.29.136 (talk) 18:24, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I made a revision as I threatened above. Granted, it is just as biased, and I think I was making a point. If someone would like to revise the sentence to something more neutral, I will let the issue go.

Fair use rationale for Image:Bc album deuce.jpg

Image:Bc album deuce.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 this Wikipedia article 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Article Tone: Too informal?

The article reads like it was written for a gung-ho music magazine; it's a lot less formal in its presentation than most articles I've seen on Wikipedia. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing; it's hard to be clinical and objective about a subject such as music, so perhaps the writing style here is strictly necessary to convey any information at all about the band. I just thought I'd raise the question. 12.73.132.33 (talk) 13:02, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
