Touring??

Touring the country, which country?

north america.

That's not a country. And people all over the word read wikipedia, "the country" is just a little vague Space Erased 18:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Album art

Does anyone know if Serj is using the second album art he revealed? Because on soadfans it shows the first one, but i'm pretty sure he's using the second. 74.124.28.243 16:17, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea, could you send me a link to the second art? FallenWings47 19:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i was just on the serjical strike records myspace page, and they had a pic of the final album art and it actually said final art, which i added to the page. so serj has put out three different versions, and has decided on the third one. Dissectional 21:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just asking

It was the Foo Fighters Matt d84 01:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lewis black routine and Elect the Dead

The title "Elect the Dead" sounds like it's a reference to Lewis Black's "It's time for a Dead President" routine. Serj has referenced other peoples work like Howard Zinn's "You can't afford to be neutral on a moving train" on the song deer dance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ProductofSociety (talk • contribs) 15:59, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blue

Does anybody know if the "Blue" on the special edition is the song by System of a Down or if it's a completely new one? FallenWings47 08:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

zhitak- yea it's a new version of the old demo, i've listened to it, but with more of a acoustic feel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.77.16.79 (talk) 03:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I heard a thirty second preview of it, along with all the other songs (excluding "The Reverend King") [1] For anyone who wants to check it out. FallenWings47 06:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Singles

Does anybody know what the next couple of singles are going to be? I know the "Saving Us" video is out, but does that mean it's the next single? FallenWings47 07:39, 06 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Saving Us and Feed Us

Being "Saving Us" has been released, video and all. Do you think we should (re)create the page? FallenWings47 12:24, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And the now "Feed Us" video is also available online. I put the links on the main article. FallenWings47 9:14, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Genre?

Couldn't this album's genre also be considered alternative metal? Many of the songs contain the heavy guitar riffs similar to System of a Down's. --FlyingPenguins 23:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

England?

On the release dates there is a flag of England, but not the UK, is this intentional? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.67.149.65 (talk) 10:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Music videos

The music video section now includes availability. It says only The Unthinking Majority, Empty Walls, Saving Us, Feed Us and Lie Lie Lie are available. But (sorry if this spoils anything for anyone) if you bought the deluxe edition, one of the features of the password is being able to see videos (which include Empty Walls, The Unthinking Majority, The Ultimate Serj Interview, Saving Us, Feed Us, Honking Antelope, Elect the Dead, Baby and Sky is Over respectively). It also shows when they were posted, which for Honking Antelope-Sky is Over are all between Oct. 15-17, so technically they were released before Lie Lie Lie if not the same day. FallenWings47 15:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How bout videos in Web? Can I find Sky is over, Baby, Honking Antelope etc. now, or they are not here yet? 83.28.72.229 14:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, they're on Serj's official site if you bought the limited edition and have the password. I have yet to see them on YouTube yet though. FallenWings47 15:42, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship of song title

It seems like there might be some dispute over whether the song should be titled "Beethoven's Cunt" or "Beethoven's C***". In this edit an unregistered user blanked out the obscenity. Two subsequent attempts to undo that (here and here) were both automatically reverted by ClueBot. I've made my own attempt, we'll see if it sticks. I have to say I'm not 100% sure what the title really is (almost, but not quite). If it turns out the censored title is really the "correct" one, well, I'm sorry. Here're my thoughts and research results on the matter:

A lot of web sites have it censored (as C*** or something else)
A lot of web sites don't.
It's seems likely that the sites that have it as "C***" are censoring themselves.
Wikipedia is not censored; see WP:CENSOR. So if the obscenity is really part of the song title, it belongs in the article.
A source that used to be cited in the article [2] (but has since been removed; recently) has it uncensored.

On his website its listed as "Beethovens C***", so I guess thats what he wants the song to be known as.Emmure 89 (talk) 07:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have tryed to change it to Beethovens C*** as it is what is on the back of the cd and on Serj's website. So therefore it must be the real name of the song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SecondMouse (talk • contribs) 10:44, 12 March 2008 (UTC) Im going to give up trying to change it now. wiki just doesnt except that its the real name and not a censoring.SecondMouse (talk) 11:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Larry LaLonde?

I believe Primus guitarist Larry LaLonde performs on this album, though I could be mistaken. I don't see his name mentioned as one of the contributing musicians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.21.224.137 (talk) 22:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

inside artwork

I think there should be something about the pictures and things on the inside artwork of the album, like the little story that has each song name or the repeated appearance of the "All Seeing Eye"(which is in the Feed Us music video, if I am correct.)
