I hope this new image I put up is fine. I changed it because it gives a better representation of the band than a logo that was only used foe one EP. Nickisawesome 08:41, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, a good representation. I imagine they like sitting around drinking tea ;)

Date style

C'mon, folks, while either "XX Month 200X" or "Month XX, 20XX" are acceptable, having both in the same article is not. Rlquall 12:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

History section

The history section pretty much starts with what happened in 2002!! I think quite a bit must've happened before that. Like me singing along at concerts for example. (I'd write it myself if I knew about it). Kansaikiwi 12:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

New Site for External Links

Hi, I am in the process of making a Shihad Knowledge Base Wiki type thing at http://shihadwiki.com/ . I know it is not good form to add links to sites that you personally run but if some people out there think that this site is worth a link please add it to the External Links section.

Thanks

Shihad and Dune

The term "jihad" is prominent in Dune. I don't recall the Fremen word for sandworm (shai-hulud) being used in the movie as opposed to the book - it certainly isn't bandied about. And "jihad" seems to have a closer similarity to "shihad" anyway. Is this another attempt to distance themselves from "jihad" with its contemporary connotations?--Jack Upland (talk) 09:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Adding information

I found a mini Shihad Biography from Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide. I'm not sure how to add it properly or how to do it with wiki's guidelines. So I've copied and pasted it in full here (found it in winamp, believe it or not).

"Shihad The origins of the New Zealand-based speed metal band Shihad date back to 1985, when guitarist Jon Toogood and drummer Tom Larkin formed their first group, Exit, while attending high school in the Wellington area. Various other aspiring musicans came and went, but by the middle of 1988, with the addition of guitarist Phil Knight and bassist Geoff Duncan and a change to the name Shihad, the group was ready to begin playing live. (According to legend, while covering the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the U.K." during their debut performance, they blew out the club's P.A. system.) Duncan quickly exited, and after a few false starts bassist Hamish Laing was tapped as his permanent replacement; the group soon made their recorded debut with "Down Dance," the flip side to a split single with the Angels. Shihad's debut EP, Devolve, appeared in mid-1991, and to the surprise of many reached the New Zealand Top 20; Laing soon departed, and was replaced by bassist Karl Kippenberger. 1992 was a hiatus year, with Toogood and Larking forming a side project, SML, with Head Like a Hole's Nigel Regan. When Shihad resurfaced with 1993's Churn, their sound had grown more industrial; influenced by the likes of Skinny Puppy and Einsturzende Neubauten, the group even began experimenting with samplers. The results were immediately positive -- not only did the LP reach the Top Ten, but the single "I Only Said" hit number three.

The follow-up, 1995's Killjoy, was also hugely successful, and was followed in 1996 by the EP Deb's Night Out. Shihad's self-titled third LP followed in 1998. Nearly four years later, Shihad changed their name to Pacifier and headed to L.A. to make a fifth album. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.225.86 (talk) 05:05, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Blogspot link to be used

I'm about to add this to the article. It is a blogspot link, which is generally deprecated. In this case, I'm using it until a better source is found. It is a photo of a bill poster advertising the Auckland Big Day Out shows in February 1994. Not that its a good excuse but the same link is used in the Big Day Out lineups by year wp article.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 07:00, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

I've replaced the blogspot ref with this by New Zealand's Ministry for Culture and Heritage, which is a far more reliable source. It only mentions two NZ bands but one is Shihad.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 23:23, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

AC/DC support slot

I was at that concert and I'm pretty sure Hamish was still with the band at the time. I'm going to look for sources. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 07:13, 28 December 2020 (UTC) My memory (which is obviously not a reliable source) is that Tom Larkin told me some time in 1991 that they had a new bass player, a young Maori guy named Karl, that Hamish had quit to pursue his other passion (motorcycle racing), and that he was going to play a couple more gigs supporting AC/DC before Karl joined permanently. I haven't found a source for this on the internet but maybe contacting the band can confirm this information. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 07:41, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
