The Oxegen festival is held in Ireland not in the Uk. That paragraph needs reworking.

Why would Penagate go back when I clearly added up to date and more accurate information and expanded the article?--Migospia 02:35, 29 March 2007 (UTC) -Reply

Because you clearly ripped the text from an external source (their official bio). Finding material on Google is not hard, even when you've removed words from it (and, incidentally, rendering several passages meaningless and ungrammatical in the process). Allow me to quote from the Edit page: "Do not copy text from other websites without permission. It will be deleted." - penagate _{[talk|contribs]} 14:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I did not rip the source and believe me finding information on not well known bands is hard, I found the information on a site but its not the one you linked to. And I just wanted to point how Sneaky Sound System came about finding Connie Mitchell since she was there for their second album and band members. I did not copy full text from other webpages so that quote does not apply. If you can get the full facts in there you can edit it but keep the basic same information. I mean no matter what we have to *copy information* so we can stat the facts because we cannot just makeup stuff- User:Migospia

I feel I should note: Copying information isn't necessary, nor desirable. Adapting it, and doing a good job of it, is. Vintagejonny 01:23, 29 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Sneaky.jpg

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Image:Sneaky.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

I can't find this anywhere.

The guy with the really bad Abba hairdo who appears to do .. absolutely nothing in every video clip and every stage performance I've seen .. what's his name and what DOES he do in the band? All he seems to do is dance around badly. Is he a musician, or comic relief? Further, he is seen playing guitar a few times, but he's not fingering the fretboard appropriately to be playing at all. What's the deal? Jachin (talk) 21:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

That's MC Double D. I've also wondered why he's in the band. So this explanation will tell you what he does, but may not justify him being there.

He is the band's MC, so he talks to the crowd and announces things, and he also performs male rap vocals in Sneaky's songs. On a small selection of songs, Connie doesn't sing, only Daimon does. One such song is "Thin Disguise". That's the song they usually open the live show with, so he appears one song before Connie and gets the crowd all hyped up, or whatever.

At Sneaky's performance at the 2007 ARIA awards, he was standing at the table of electronic equipment, making electronic music in the performance. This may have been completely mimed, and only included so that the crowd would think he actually does something in the band. In the film clip for "UFO", he plays bass guitar, but like you said, it seems to be only for show, as the live bass is done by Donnie Sloan, I think.

I think the reason he's there is because he was one of the original two, him and Black Angus. The two of them were putting together a dance act, and they found Connie singing in a park, or something, and asked her to sing lead vocals. So Daimon was kind of made less important, but they can't really kick him out.

To summarise: In film clips or performances on TV, he pretends to play music, to convince the crowd that he should be there. In live shows, he generally just walks around with a microphone, same as Connie, and does MCing and rap vocals. Should he be there? Who knows. PN 57 01:36, 30 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
