I see there's a bit of disagreement about which Roger Taylor played on the record. I'm no fan of chode chugger chode Duran Duran, but the discography at the Queen drummer's website [http://queen-fip.com/rt_site/c_back/cb_idx.htm here] looks pretty comprehensive to me (it includes, for example, "Billy Squier Emotions In Motion. B[acking] v[ocals]'s on title track. 1982"), and it doesn't mention Band Aid. It looks like it was Duran Duran's Roger Taylor to me. --[[User:Camembert|Camembert]] |

Revision as of 01:20, 14 November 2006
I see there's a bit of disagreement about which Roger Taylor played on the record. I'm no fan of chode chugger chode Duran Duran, but the discography at the Queen drummer's website here looks pretty comprehensive to me (it includes, for example, "Billy Squier Emotions In Motion. B[acking] v[ocals]'s on title track. 1982"), and it doesn't mention Band Aid. It looks like it was Duran Duran's Roger Taylor to me. --Camembert
- Yeah... I've got the Do They Know It's Christmas 12" on my lap, with a big photo of everyone, and one of those outline maps telling you who everyone is. Seriously... It's the Duran Duran fella. Mintguy's looking at the wrong bloke. -Nommo
- Yeah. I was looking at a picture of the guy from Heaven 17 on a bad quality group photo. Humble apologies. Sorry for the mistake. Mintguy 14:50 Apr 19, 2003 (UTC)
true
82.182.142.94 said: I have no idea how to edit the chart-thing up there, but everything after Bono's "Well tonight..." is obviously pulled out of someones ***. This is the original version I'm talking about. Please.
- Well, I don't know. The list of who sings what in the 1984 line-up looks fine to me. You should have a look at the video. The guys singing after Bono perfectly look like the Status Quo or Style Council or Heaven 17 blokes to me. Or are you referring to someone else? --DoubleDee
Band Aid 20 participants
The list presented here is huge - surely not all of those participants were there? violet/riga (t) 17:41, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I have the group phot from the day in front of me. Bono, Dido, Robbie, Paul McCartney etc are absent, but everyone else is there, plus a few not on the list (presumably they do appear on the record in some capacity) Dtcdthingy 09:36, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hey guys! I need your help here: I'm trying to spot all of the participants to the original band aid, not only those who actually sang (I guess the list is complete), but those who left a message in the 12" version... can you help me??? Thanks, Elli
If you had any say in how they run Band Aid...
You could let all Commonwealth (of Nations) musicians in. I want to see Scribe or the Deceptikonz or even Fast Crew) rapping the lines that Dizzee Rascal added. Scott Gall 10:23, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
REALISATION
hi,
i felt impelled to post - hope i dont waffle too much.
i have followed the band aid 20 saga from the outset when the nation began pushing for a re-release, and i eagerly watched the media coverage of the recording day and then counted down to the release. i heard the first airplay on radio one and although i got shivers down my spine, i will admit that i initially felt a sense of disappointment as the kick was not the same as the original- except for bono's line which left me lost for words. however, over time i have come to love this as much as the original, and even appreciated the 2nd release for the first time. i think the cause is so important.
but, my overriding feeling hit me just 20 minutes ago when i saw the video of band aid 20 for the first time. i remember watching the video footage 20 years ago at school and seeing boys cry real tears, that hit hard...............when the current video showed excerpted footage and the expressions on stars faces i sat back, realised and sobbed.
thankyou for bringing this back to our attention - well done and god bless you all
Bob Geldof and Midge Ure are extraordinary men

Merge
This should be merged with the article for the single - since the band only has one single, the two are pretty much inseparable concepts. Phil Sandifer 20:19, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

From the article:
- The name "Band Aid" was chosen because it had a double meaning. ...such a gesture is like putting a BAND-AID (a brand of sticking plaster/adhesive bandage) on a gaping wound...
This is accurate and verifiable, in the sense that members of Band Aid said something like this? I ask because it is my understanding that the word Band-Aid, (as a genericized trademark), isn't used outside of American English. Savatar 04:34, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I was wondering about this as well, I'm English, and ... well ... the phrase "band aid" is simply not used here. The term over here is "plaster" so... yeah.
I'm going to delete that bit. People can add it again if they have any link to verify this, I'm going to assume it's not true though, seeing as the term is not used this side of the Atlantic. LupusCanis 10:09, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Survey
- Add * '''Support''' or * '''Oppose''' on a new line followed by a brief explanation, then sign your opinion using ~~~~.
- Oppose - Likewise, a disambiguation link should be enough for Band Aid, as Band-Aid really has a much more common usage. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 01:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose - I see no compelling reason for changing this. Many unambiguous pages have parenthisised specifiers in their names. I think this is a good thing. Chovain 01:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose - Band Aid should probably redirect to the article about the bandage brand, but being the dab page is fine. Being the band is not. Also, while many unambiguous pages do have parenthesised specifiers, that's too bad and should be fixed. But this isn't about that, because Band Aid is not unambiguous. --Serge 20:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Opppose - as above. -- Beardo 07:13, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
