Fantastic Article : ) Excelent job Nick carson 04:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

How does the last person to edit this article know that Long Live the Weekend is the next single??

It's been flying around various places. The Herald Sun here in Victoria mentioned it last week and triple j has started talking about it. --Sophie j 10:16, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

When will the chart position be known, considering it has benn more then a week since release?

Deleted "tragic" from car accident

On the scale of car accidents, let's be reasonable. "Tragic" sounded like he died. I think "car accident" is suffice, people get the idea.

small grammar mistake

i changed it from "cheny's obesession with 80s rockabilly group the Stray Cats" to "Cheney was obsessed with 80s rockabilly group the Stray Cats". the 1st one isnt a complete sentence - Bagel7

Adeline Records

The Living End is now at Adeline Records (owned by Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day)).

Jack Awards

Someone (if they have time) add the recent, highly successful jack award results.

Did it.

Confrontation POS/SS

I have spotted a clash in 'facts'.

Someone has placed the Prisoner of Society/Second Solution EP on the singles chart as #1, while the POS/SS page states it as #4.

Can someone look into this to find out the true ARIA position of the single?

Surely one of you have the answer.

Okay, after researching. the only sources I found was Answers.com, some fan-based biography, and http://www.amo.org.au/releases.asp?p=10&keyword=&genre=&state=&begins_with=S&label=&released_in=&section=releases. The first two sources state #4, but we must remember (and it is pretty obvious) that both these sources took their info directly off wikipedia, so no help there, just reading the same quarrel in information (By the way, 1# is not stated as it evidently was written before the mix-up was made). The latter source I provided is some sort of online shop, and thus is not much of a source, BUT it is the ONLY source because of the previously explained reasons. More research will be needed, but the source stated #1; thus, as of yet, the EP was #1 on the ARIA singles chart. The official TLE website has it as Number 1 as well

OzChart website has put the single at 4. It charts reveal it's many sales as being due to it's longevity on the charts, not from an initial breakthrough of success. It seems it never was at #1. We should reconsider this, and the position of the UK release. 60.229.221.213 03:52, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

1. 4! Said by the manager herself. But Uk is still not known. Nevertheless, we have to convert all number 1's of the double single to number 4's.

Second Solution/Prisoner Of Society - Living End - First week (04/01/98): 59 -- 53 43 45 47 39 32 35 29 31 20 19 15 12 11 08 05 05 06 04 04 04 04 04 07 07 07 07 10 11 14 14 20 29 31 32 34 42 37 39 41 39 31 37 47 40 -- -- 50 55 48 54 -- 49 56 (final week 24/01/99)

Hope this answers your question. :) Orderinchaos 19:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Singles

The singles ere removed. I revived them, but in a messy form. A registered user who knows how will need to bold the texts indicated , and italises and make a link of the last text.

Rising Sun

The TLE websites has announced a 2007 release (probably not an ordinary single, but a radio-only single with video). The Cold Chisel song "Rising Sun" being covered, for a multi-artist tribute album. Implications: Something to be added to Singles list. However, I do not know how to categorize it as of yet. 58.167.61.91 07:03, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Personally, I would wait until that album is released before adding it, but if it's 100% confirmed with a verifiable source, you can add it. I would add it to The Living End song list down the bottom, under "Other Releases", like the other similar ones there. --Dane ^~nya 07:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

The song can be found here --Dan027 14:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Playboyrich

I think he has removed the majority of the chart positions. Can someone inquire further as to what the hell has happened? 60.229.168.101 03:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh well, I recovered and improved it. But it needs boldening, and names need to be re-linked. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.51.109.249 (talk) 03:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

Singles

The new singles format is a goodn idea, but some notes need to be added to that chart. 6 of those songs were radio only releases, and hence need to be marked in some way, so thay are not mistaken as unsuccessful releases. From Here On In, though charting on the triple j hottest 100 of 1997, was released on radio in 1996. "Prisoner of Society" should be Prisoner of Society/Second Solution; they both reached #1 position as a duo, but they were separate on triple j. It should be noted that they were a double A-side, but be treated separately, due to triple j. Second Solution should also recieve the 1# honour. They were also 1997 releases, not 1998 releases, exept the triple j release of Second Solution, which could be said in a note.

Carry Me Home

The hyperlink for "Carry Me Home" goes to a song by AC/DC, just so everybody knowsThe SOAD Fan 17:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the link GoodOrEvil 11:55, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Origin of the name

I don't really know where this would go (or even really if it's valid, but seriously, what are the chances?), but it should be mentioned that their name came from a song by The Jesus and Mary Chain off of Psychocandy. Twin Human Highway Flares 04:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

In any case you would need a reference for it. The phrase "the living end" has been in common use at least since the 60's and it appears in a song from the late 70's by Dave Edmunds called Girls Talk, so you might just as well say it comes from that song, unless you have an actual reference from the band that makes that statement. SilentC 05:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm pretty sure the name comes from neither song, rather, from Bill Haley's 1956 film, Rock Around the Clock (film). At the end the curtains close to show the words "The End." They then re-open a little to reveal the word "Living" in the middle with a question mark. I am sure that Chris Cheney spoke about this in an interview- possibly with Triple J? Can anyone help me out here??? Sjepro 19:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Created a discography and template

the article was getting a little cluttered, so I created a discography page and template

Modern Artillery

OK, I have fixed every single thing that calls the third album "MODERN ARTillery". This is not what the album is called. It is called "Modern ARTillery". Even the official The Living End Website calls the album "Modern ARTillery" (see here: http://www.thelivingend.com.au/onlinestore/products.php?cat=7), with only capitals on the ART.

However, Wikipedia naming conventions (see here) state that album titles are not to be given stylised titles on pages. Redirects have been put in to Modern Artillery (album). Even though "Modern ARTillery" is the correct title, Wikipedia guidelines state that it should be called "Modern Artillery".

Triple J Hottest 100 dates

The band were in Triple J's Hottest 100 between 1997 and 2007, however, the Hottest 100 played in 2007 is called "Hottest 100 2006" (since it's the hottest 100 of the previous year). So the band were in the Hottest 100, 1996 (broadcast 1997) to Hottest 100, 2006 (broadcast 2007). Can we communicate this in a slightly more elegant - but none-the-less clear - fashion that I have just done?

(129.206.198.150 (talk) 10:22, 26 January 2008 (UTC))

I don't think the year it was played is a huge issue, its still the hottest 100 of the year it was voted for, the year and date it was played should be mentioned in the main article of each hottest 100. --Dan027 (talk) 01:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
