Talk:Candlebox/Archive 1

Neutrality Disputed

"Candlebox were occasionally looked down upon by elitist members of the Grunge movement; they criticized Candlebox's style and image as being derivative of Grunge. One of these early detractors was Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.[1] However, these detractors' assumptions were untrue;" Doesn't really sound encyclopaedial does it, and are there sources cofirming this? --Tomvasseur (talk) 17:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. This article reads like a brochure or copy for a radio ad promoting a Greatest Hits album: "Candlebox were regarded by promoters, fans, and record label executives as one of the few workhorse bands of the Seattle Scene...", "Candlebox had the vigorous support of promoters and fans", "Candlebox is known for an explosive live show and throughout their career". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.156.111 (talk) 01:34, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I just removed the propaganda like part of the text. --Tomvasseur (talk) 18:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Charting info

Charting info on songs and albums is usually put in the article for the album. I would recommend to the person who added the charting info that he start an article for that album and move this info to it for the sake of consistency. -- LGagnon 17:49, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps this has changed over the years as I've noticed just the opposite. The artist's page seems like a good spot to get an overview of the band's popularity over time. Hoof Hearted 14:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Reunion

Is there a credible source for this? Myspace doesn't really count. -- LGagnon 06:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Reunion Answer

Agreed. Myspace isn't 100% trustworthy. Check any of these sites:

New Album & DVD

Blabbermouth.net

"The reunited CANDLEBOX just finished its fourth studio album and first for Silent Majority Group and will be released this spring. The band featuring original members Kevin Martin, Peter Klett and Scott Mercado. CANDLEBOX will also release a new live DVD & Album, entitled "Alive in Seattle", and will hit stores July, 08.

CANDLEBOX last year made two songs — "Stand" and "Surrendering" — available for streaming via the band's MySpace page (the tracks have since been removed). Both cuts are expected to appear on the as-yet-untitled new CD, tentatively due later in the year.

Rhino Records in May 2006 released "The Best of Candlebox", featuring all of the single releases from CANDLEBOX's previous three albums as well as a few additional album tracks and the song "Glowing Soul", which was featured on the soundtrack for the movie "The Waterboy". "

We went to the both sold out shows in Seattle and it was amazing. Kevin Martin and guys sound better then in the day.... The demo's on there myspace page blew me away. Going to try and make a few of the California shows this March hopefully if not sold out already like last year.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zilman (talk • contribs) 21:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Members

The infobox states that there are three current members, while the article itself states that there are five, including "Shaved Ham - Tambourine," which I consider to be a possible case of vandalism. Should the infobox be updated to match the article, or vice versa, and does anyone have any further information on "Shaved Ham" playing the tambourine?
