Why is D.R.I. in the heavy metal music list? They are hardcore punk. Dark Executioner (talk) 13:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Because Crossover Thrash is both a metal and a hardcore punk sub genre.Inhumer (talk) 16:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Layout?

I thought it was not very usefull how albums are shown. So I changed the order. Now you can see when and wether albums are released yet. PanteraBM 15 March 2008 10:08 (UTC)

I really tidied up the article and it was just reverted to the original version. Why? Steb2424 01 April 2008 18:51 (GMT)

See my comment below. Your view looks sightly, but it's not very usefull for an overview. You won't search for a specific date. The common user thinks: "Oh, what's up in April 2008?" and not "What was released on the first in April?". Furthermore if you only want to poke around what's going on this year it's not a great effort to comb through 12 sections/months. So it would be nice to go back to the 12 months overview without a order by date.PanteraBM (talk) 01 April 2008 9:48 (GMT+1)

panic at the disco

Panic at the Disco is not heavy metal by any means. It is rather insulting to the heavy metal genre to consider them as such. also AC/DC is generally regarded as a hard rock band not as a heavy metal band (there is a difference) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.29.241.127 (talk) 02:59, 19 March 2008 (UTC) Stuff like Panic at the Disco is being put down as heavy metal because many users think this page is for rock music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve2497 (talk • contribs) 01:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Months released?

Is this a very good way to do it? I think it makes it seem more unorganized then a alphabetical list, and it really proves no purpose since a user can just click on the album and read about its release date. I can see how it would work though since its a list of heavy metal, but none of the other years do it like this. Chaser1942 (talk) 02:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's a point to discuss. I made it in this order, because you can see if and when a specific album is released yet. In past years it is not important to see the list in this order by reason that every album is available. So I guess it's more convinient in this order to get an overview about the upcoming albums of this year. In December 2008 it's a work of a few minutes to make a list without a order by months. PanteraBM (talk) 16:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I made the order which divided also the month into day releases undo. I think it was very unclear and unfinished. With an order by month you have 12 overviews, without a long search you're able to see what's new released but also an overwies by bands. 12 short alphabetical lists isn't very difficult to overlook.

I see where your coming from, nice work, looks good. Chaser1942 (talk) 06:19, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Notes

I am dissatisfied with the layout of the column notes, with respect to flagicons, why are by stretching the table. I need suggestions to modify or withdraw this column of tables. Cannibaloki 22:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Also, if a band does not have a wiki profile, DO NOT DELETE THEM OFF THE LISTS!! there are band profile that get deleted for some reason (Eg. the faceless, light this city) who, just because they don't ahve a wiki profile, deserve to be removed from the lists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.156.52.116 (talk) 18:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

This list should contain only bands that has an article on Wikipedia, otherwise they must be removed. Cannibaloki 18:54, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Loki, and will remove those bands without pages. Bands without pages are ones that are deemed non-notable by wiki standards, and so would logically not be notable enough for this page either. If you think they are, make an article for them first. Plus, if we include each and every album, the list will be a ridiculous length. Prophaniti (talk) 22:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Guns N' Roses

Sorry, but they're not metal by any standards, just hard rock. I'd like to see them get taken off the list, please, but I don't want to do it myself should I break some damned code or something. If someone else thinks I'm wrong, I'm happy to hear your side. 24.46.123.59 (talk) 01:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, and done. Regardless of personal opinion, they're not listed as metal on their wiki page. This page should reflect that. Prophaniti (talk) 22:54, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
