Talk:Family Force 5

Year started?

This article says 1995 is the year they started. But their MySpace says they started two years ago. Which is it?RoryS89 04:53, 9 August 2006 (UTC)RoryS89

I'm thinking they would know more about their own band. That is my take. --WillMak050389 04:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

According to [1], the three brothers released a CD in 1995, but I do not believe they had the other members of the group. The Olds brothers may have been making music since 1995, but not Family Force 5. --WillMak050389 03:30, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

im guessing it was 2 years ago... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.64.127.45 (talk • contribs).

family force 5 yes 2 years ago but they started w/ the brothers in 1995 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.203.177.29 (talk • contribs). they r christans

Yep, the dude (or maybe dudette) above me is right. The Brothers were in 1995, and released two CDs (Fact and Reality in 1995, and R.P.M. in 1996). Or atleast, it's two years that they've been signed. There might've been some time when they were the Phamily that their MySpace doesn't talk about. Plus, you also have to include the time when they were Ground Noise. Unfortunately, they haven't given a time frame for when Ground Noise was around. All I know is that it was after The Brothers, and before The Phamily and FF5. - User:SuperDMChan

Ground Noise was by no means "Family Force 5." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.73.55.45 (talk) 06:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Christan?

Is Family Force 5 a christan Rock band or just a band? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.177.29 (talk) 01:31, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

    09.04.07 - They're a Christian rock band. - user:SuperDMChan

They are Christians in a band. Whether they are playing to Christians or secular crowds doesn't really matter as seen by some of their tours such as the Warped Tour amoung otheres Ldstryfe —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldstryfe (talk • contribs) 15:33, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

no they r not christan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.177.29 (talk) 20:07, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

    09.10.07 - Then can you explain the meaning behind "Replace Me", "Love Addict" and "Supersonic"? Can you explain why they thank God and Jesus first in their lyrics book? And can you explain your overuse of exclamation points? Also, Ldstryfe, thank you for adding that. I was trying to figure as to how exactly it was they explained it, but I forgot. I'm a terrible FF5 fan. XD - user:SuperDMChan

Wait, someone just said they aren't Christian. Sons of Jerome Olds not Christian? Please. IronCrow 05:27, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

how is super sonic a christan song? drama queen put ur hands down??? people always thang God in there books —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.177.29 (talk) 21:53, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

    09.18.07 - I never said Drama Queen or Put Ur Hands Down. Quite obviously, those are not Christian songs. The line in Supersonic that makes the song Christian is the following: "Just lift Him up / cause you can't get enough". :) I also forgot to add that JesusFreakHideout covers them quite often, and they also play at quite a few churches, and talk about God on stage. Meanwhile, you've yet to explain the meaning behind "Love Addict", "Replace Me" and your overuse of exclamation points. So obviously, you're realising that maybe they are Christian, am I right? - user:SuperDMChan

Dude, 2 before me, umm u really need 2 stop sayin that they are not Christans. Cuz, they are. So go 2 YouTube and watch some on-stage videos and go 2 JesusFreakHide.com look em, up. It say's on this wikipedia that they are Christans. So belive it- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.177.29 (talk) 23:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

First of all, it's hilarious that the same person who said they're not is now telling themself they are. "Christian" bands do not always have to sing about God or even Christian things/themes; I am a Christian, I'm not always, like, saying "Praise the Lord!" And just because their father is Jerome Olds doesn't mean they have to believe the same thing their dad does. But they are Christian men. Love Addict is about God's love, Replace Me is a "desperate" call for God to change you, and Supersonic is about actually living your life. Peachy...well, it says stuff about it in the article. They've said I Love You To Death is about loving God, but a lot of the lyrics don't make sense in that context, whereas they do in the love of a husband and wife (namely Soul Glow Activatur and his wife Lalipop). If I have to explain Face Down or Never Let Me Go, you have issues, because those are two of the most blantantly "Christian" songs ever released by a mainstream label (run by Madonna, gosh). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.73.55.45 (talk) 01:13, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Uh... Jerome Olds... If you knew the guy, you would definitly know these guys are DEFINITY Christian people. He is very close to his kids, as anyone who's ever heard his interviews, etc would know. Supersonic is about living your life, yes, but for God. And please sign your comments, otherwise, people will either A: Completely disregard your statement or B. Not really care. Now, as for them being the most Christian thing in a secular label... I highly doubt that. Hellig Usvart, the album by Horde, with song titles such as "Blasphemous Abomination of the Satanic Pentagram" and "Weak, Feeble, and Dying Anti-Christ" I would doubt what you said was true. IronCrow 05:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

My dad and I are close; he's agnostic, I'm not. It was more of a general thing. I didn't say they were THE most Christian thing, I said they were "ONE OF" the most Christian things. How is that not true? (A lot of other people have unsigned comments, thanks for getting on my case just because you didn't catch my drift. Now I signed it. Disregard THIS.) 68.73.197.71 05:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Just to wrap it all up FF5 IS CHRISTAN so guys SHUT UP!! ABOUT THIS GOSH!! Just ask around 2 peeps- Bubba65 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.177.29 (talk) 20:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

    11.03.07 - But...but...I thought you said they werent! For the love of God, make up your mind. Do you think they are or not? - user:SuperDMChan —Preceding comment was added at 17:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

yes they r Christans i have always said they were i never said they were not71.203.177.29 18:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Bubba65

    11.04.07 - Then how do you explain the fourth comment, and how your IP address is seemingly the same? o_o - user:SuperDMChan 13:41 4 November 2007

i dont know who that guy is!-bubba65 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.177.29 (talk) 02:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

They ARE Christian, but are not Christian Rock. The difference is that one is their faith and the other reflects their music. However, many faith groups supposrt them seeing as their songs often seem to be inspired by Jesus. You guys seemed to be a bit confused about the difference.Clairify--65.40.179.113 (talk) 23:35, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, i do believe that Family Force Five is Christian. i didn't have the time to read all the comments above this one and i am not going to. if they choose to perform in front of a secular crowed, that is their choice and there probably a reason behind it. second of all don't always believe everything that you read. some of it may be true and some of it may not. personally i have had a lot of experiences with lies and back stabbing. so what get over it. just because ff5 doesn't always talk about God and being a Christian doesn't mean they are not. I PERSONALLY DONT ALWAYS TALK ABOUT GOD EVEN THOUGH I THINK I SHOULD IMPLY AND DISCUSS ABOUT IT IN MOST CONVERSATIONS, BUT I BELIEVE WHAT I BELIEVE AND I DONT CARE IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH ME, GET OVER IT. AND IF YOU'RE A PARENT THAT DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT THE CHRISTIAN ROCK BANDS THAT CALL THEMSELFS CHRISTIAN ARE NOT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THEY ARE. NEWS FLASH, YOUR NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. YOUR HUMAN, DEAL WITH IT.------TRUEwannabeEMO

They are Christian for sure I have there song "Love you to death" and in it the say "I'm not afraid of tthe JESUS that has made me" so to me THAT SAYS ALOT! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.119.69.213 (talk) 17:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

They say "I'm not afraid of the chances that I take," not "I'm not afraid of the Jesus that made me." duhhhh look up the freakin lyricsPhamilyLove (talk) 07:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Picture

The picture is obviously just advertising for this guy's radio station and should be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.236.79.1 (talk) 17:04, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree.

yeah its just advertising —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.236.90.156 (talk) 21:59, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone have a free picture? 76.226.6.180 00:25, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

    11.03.07 - I added one. ^^ Unfortunately, I don't know how to change the name. If anyone else does, do feel free to change it to something more appropriate. - user:SuperDMChan 13:54, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

What happened to it? It's not even in the history! 76.226.76.140 04:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

It's not advertising. Family Force 5 and Revolution Radio are affiliated and FF5 does promotions and stars on the radio. --Giggles ^Talk 02:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

When I looked at the page earlier this month, it said pretty much nothing. It looks like it was edited the day you (re)added the picture to say that FF5 was involved with the radio station. It IS advertising, but it's okay, because they are promoting. Maybe you should put Family Force 5's involvement with Revolution Radio in the article and add a picture that includes all of the guys from the band. 76.226.35.0 (talk) 08:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Other "members"

Should Xanadu, Qwygon, Tofu Pup and Tub-O really be listed under "current members"? And if they are, they should be listed the same as the guys who play instruments in the BAND. PhamilyLove (talk) 05:57, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

      They should probably be listed as lesser members. :) - user:SuperDMChan 13:39 24 November 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 19:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
