Dany Heatley is German-Canadian

I brought it up on the talk page and not getting a response there. Other people like that have it mentioned in the lead. Luke McLean for example. Enigma 02:39, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Genre categories

I'm not reverting your edits just for the sake of it. A few years ago I made the same mistake of bulk-adding genre categories to album articles, but for some reason it's not considered good practice on WP. I forget which user explained it to me (I can have a look if you want), but the genre categories automatically go through the band's main article or something like that—not through the albums.

I found the guideline for you: WP:WikiProject Albums/Album article style guide#Genre. Hope that helps. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 21:22, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Not true

"Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews. This excludes media reprints of press releases, or other publications where the artist, its record label, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the work. "

Some of the sources for the article don't focus on Sabotage at all, but instead just the song "Am I Going Insane (Radio)" That alone makes it notable. It's fine as an article and an official single so there's no reason to get rid of it.

If you have any further disagreements maybe nominate it for deletion and let the group decide, but until then leave it alone or improve it. Mrmoustache14 (talk) 00:43, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Black Sabbath used double bass drums

How do you do!

In French Wiki it's accepted link http://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/Black_Sabbath/Tomorrow's_Dream/10709/.

It's others opinion about this question: 1)http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/the-black-sabbath-album-by-album-thread-1970-2013-part3.327742/page-28

If it was said, then it was either just a great exaggeration or they didn't know what they were talking about. There is brilliant double bass drum work on quite a number of things on Vol. 4 and beyond. Bill never played the double bass like it came to be used by the more straight ahead, pounding metal drummers. Listen to tracks like "Supernaut" or "Tomorrow's Dream" and the double bass drum work there is unique and absolutely sublime.

About Technical Ecstasy

The longest cut, closing track 'Dirty Women', shows a strong vocal from Ozzy, and a tight instrumental arrangement (although the closing riff outstays its welcome by a minute or two). Ward gives us some double bass-drum in this section

Listen attention song Supernaut since 1 minute 32 seconds to end of song.

Glad to speak with you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.255.32.2 (talk) 17:20, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello. First, progarchives.com is not a reliable source (it's specifically listed as such at Misplaced Pages:ALBUM/SOURCES#Sources_to_avoid). Secondly, musicmp3spb.org is a questionable source at best and should be discussed if you intend to use it here. Cheers. Caper454 (talk) 17:33, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi!

Then it's on other side:

1) http://www.drummagazine.com/features/post/double-bass-legends-a-short-history/P2/

It's spoken in general about double bass drumming by Ward

It's about about Never Say Die and double bass drums — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.76.118.29 (talk) 09:57, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

First of all, the information you are trying to add is very questionable in terms of notability and is likely unencyclopedic. So that's one reason to oppose its inclusion. Secondly, the drummagazine.com article only says that Ward used a double bass kit.... it doesn't mention any partuicular albums or songs and even specifically concedes that "drummer Bill Ward hardly played many double bass beats in songs." So there's that too. As far as the other links, who cares? Mention it in the Ward article that he played double bass if you'd like but the fact that he used double bass (as 99% of drummers do, meaning it's not particularly significant or notable in any way) is absolutely irrelevant for album and song articles.

Geezer Butler playing keyboards

Butler is credited for playing Mellotron on Black Sabbath's song "Changes" and is also credited for playing keyboards on his solo/GZR albums. That's why I included it on his list of instruments. ChristianJosephAllbee (talk) 19:04, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
