Talk:The Fiery Furnaces

Overhaul

In an attempt to move this article ever close to GA status (from which it is very far away at the moment, obviously), I spent the last few hours revamping and streamlining this page from header to footer. I made my best effort to offer sources for the more notable assertions, and tagged those that could not be gleaned from the pre-existing article sources with {{Fact}} tags. Also created were the Discography page and the Template:The Fiery Furnaces, so feel free to contribute to those as well. The former could use some information of what positions, if any, the respective releases charted at.

Rewrite,etc..

I just did a re-write including the addition of the Discography section and photo. I'm not sure the influences bit is really necessary but I've kept it for now. If anyone has any more details on the new album (the Grandmother thing needs disscusing) that they wish to add that'd be great, as would something on the current more conventional live shows and the current live lineup (I've heard Toshi and Andy aren't playing anymore).

I know rehearsing my choir was based upon their grandmothers life story, that much is a fact. I don't know about her actually narating on it...I'm certain that was just some weird synth sound effects (maybe Matthew's voice altered) --Josquius 22:37, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Influences section

• The influences section needs to go. I've been to hundreds of wikipedia band pages and none of them have this. It makes Wikipwdia seem like a music magazine website... R.I.Y.L. and all that. If anyone wants to write a section on their influences and include sources for any bands cited that's fine, even perfect, but the list as it sits now is unverifiable, shoddy-looking and could become way too long if it goes as is for much longer.--Hraefen 20:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• I've deleted the influences section from the article for the reasons stated above. Here are the bands/artists removed if anyone wants to incorporate them into the body of the article somewhere (with sources)--Hraefen 22:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC): The Who, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Os Mutantes, The Pretty Things, The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, Kate Bush, Devo, The Residents

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

How is their name related to the children's story, as mentioned in the first section? Her Pegship 04:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Accuracy of Name's Origin?

As I understand it, the band members are Christians. That being so, can it really be the case that "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" rather than the Biblical story is the primary origin of their name? Does this info come from an interview or what? Dybryd

• I guess that depends on what you man by Christian. Do you mean nominally, think about it once in a while, go to church four times a year Christian or do you mean like, they're Christian musicians or something? Because the former is entirely believable and the latter is something I've never heard said about them. If you'd like to demand a citation for the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" derivation, go ahead. But I'm assuming the person who wrote that is acting on some information whereas you seem to be operating on a hunch.--Hraefen ^Talk 15:31, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

This article is so poorly written I want to vomit blood all over myself. I'll try to fix pieces of it.

"Pretend Siblings"

The White Stripes never pretended to be siblings. People just thought they were because they have the same last name. Jack (né Gillis) took Meg's last name when they got married.
