Talk:Bez (dancer)

PcB21

You disagree about my comments on the cultural significance of Bez? OK, I admit they could have been more soberly expressed, but the article is rather short at the moment, and when I was a lad, Bez was a figure of considerable hilarity who my friends and I worshipped. Something along these lines belongs in the article. Don't you think? The Singing Badger 22:51, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Remember, this is supposed be NPOV. Illuvatar 22:40, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Founding member?

i dont no where else to write this but bez wasnt a founding member of the 'Happy Mondays' he was invited into the band sometime afterwards by the lead singer Shaun Ryder. Im sorry for the inappropriate placeing of this comment but im stupid.

Overemphasis of significance?

Would this page perhaps be better placed at Mark Berry or Bez (Dancer). I find it hard to imagine he's one of the most important 17576 (=26^3) topics of conversation of all time in the english speaking world.... 213.232.66.5 07:32, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

• No, he's very well known as Bez in the UK but relatively few people know his real name. If anyone comes up with another article that needs to be titled 'Bez' then they can create a disambiguation page, but unless that happens I don't think there's any reason to move the article.

Involvement with Flowered Up

Didn't bez get involved in the Flowered Up video, Weekender, which he produced, or was he the main character. I'm sure it was him, but it's a while since I saw it.

Its a shock to see that there are people out there who do not know that BEZ is a huge cultural icon - the biggest legend and survivor of the baggy generation... I will have to add some facts to this... Hoever this is wrong "They were the first unsigned band to be shown on and supported by VH2 and MTV2." many unsigned bands have appeared on here

They released a song in his honor called 'freaky dancing' and the term is used in quotes in the caption. It's not meant to be insulting. Repeter (talk) 21:36, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

NPOV

Some parts of this article are against WP:NPOV, for example "freaky dancin'" in the img-thumb etc. It's not very POV. --Metal of Head 21:40, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

The Mary Whitehouse Experience

Bez was frequently parodied on the television version of this programme. On one episode, which might have been the last, he appeared on the stage and floored the experiencer who was portraying him. Sorry that I don't remember enough to actually add this as a section to the article but if someone with a better memory or research skills wishes to... 85.139.95.95 (talk) 15:07, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Careless driving

Not sure if this is notable enough to be worth a mention. It also says he now lives in Herefordshire.
