Links[edit]

I tried to add links/references to this article but for some weird reason it said all the domains I tried to add were spam filtered. Made no sense to me because I was trying to add, like, allmusic.com, observer.com, but I'll try again soon to add links. For now, can someone just trust that anyone who would bother to make such extensive edits to a page is knowledgable about the band? ---N410 (talk) 01:55, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted because... --94.1.112.152 (talk) 07:40, 21 May 2011 (UTC) Rival Sons are a credible band who are getting bigger every day so its likely that this page will also get bigger and lead to more seperate pages like albums, tours and discography.[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This band is starting an European tour, as well as storming hit charts over Europe. As this generates interest in the band, it might be a valuable addition to the wikipedia encyclopedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.117.236.4 (talk) 13:06, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The band exists for one thing, they are an american band that caught the eye of british magazine Classic Rock and from what i Know most of the information is correct.

It is an article about an upcoming XXXXX band that will most likely be remade again at a later date anyways.

Tour list[edit]

Currently, the page is hardly more than a touring list and events where they played (though particularly their being supporting act for Alice Cooper might be characteristic of their musical style). Instead, it should focus more on band history (where did they meet, etc.), who does what in the band, their classic rock influences and style. --79.193.59.250 (talk) 05:04, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

XXXXX Rock[edit]

I just redacted the sexist slur. I realise that it's not a usually accepted practice to edit another editor's comments, but this person is just an IP address and I doubt he'd be very receptive to having a fruitful exchange about why sexist slurs create a hostile environment for women and how that violates Wikipedia's policy on sexual harassment.Ibis3 (talk) 19:50, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Associated acts[edit]

There is no reading of the Associated acts guidance that suggests that touring with a band makes them an associated act. Applying that faulty logic would cause many bands' associated act list to be over 100 acts. Please give a legitimate reason, other than Rival Sons simply having toured with these acts, that makes them an associated act. Thanks Mystic Technocrat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:44, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As stated above, if you want to discuss the addition of other associated acts, please do so here. Mystic Technocrat (talk) 15:54, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The language that you lean on is here: "This field is for professional relationships with other musicians or bands that are significant and notable to this artist's career.

This field can include, for example, any of the following:

For individuals: groups of which he or she has been a member Acts with which this act has collaborated on multiple occasions, or on an album, or toured with as a single collaboration act playing together Groups which have spun off from this group A group from which this group has spun off"

Please note the language about touring with. "toured with as a single collaboration act playing together." Rival Sons simply just opened up for the bands you wish to include. In no way were they a "single collaboration act" with Black Sabbath. Using your faulty interpretation, Black Sabbath themselves would have 500 different associated acts, probably even more, because god knows many bands they've toured with over the years. Mystic Technocrat (talk) 15:59, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

“Significant or notable to this artists career”. The language provided in that guideline next is only example, not limited to. I suspect you still have not read the citation articles that clearly state the strong significant relationship those bands have had with Rival Sons. They have both played together on stage at the same time and all had special appearance requests for Rival Sons. That clears them as associated acts per the language within the citation articles. You even originally agreed, by thanking me for the massive revisions and research I did to verify all of it. Yet later you decide, having not read the citations, they don’t apply in your decision. The fact you have not read the actual citation articles to back up your decision is evident by you deleting Veruca Salt (drummers old band) multiple times until you were informed by me on your talk page. This is simply unnecessary vindictiveness. I beseech you to actually read the citations before coming to your rash conclusions. There are plenty of other band pages that use the logic I have applied. You also expect editors to just accept your rude demands of edit. I opened a personal talk page with you and still nothing was resolved. I fail to see what will resolve here if you leave the citations unacknowledged and unread. Sirsentence (talk) 21:40, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting these needless associated acts. Siding with Mystic Technocrat here, as these acts are clearly not associated in any significant way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.176.86.99 (talk) 23:08, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Read the citations first before making a judgment of who’s “side” you’re taking. The guidelines for notable and significant relationships needed to add associated acts is clearly met multiple times in the bands history of collaboration and multiple appearances with the groups. Not just touring with them, but performance together. There is also plenty of other instances that allow for their addition. Please actually read the citations.

No news since album Feral Roots from 2019[edit]

There are no news since the release. The homepage is somewhat just a shop anymore. Saemikneu (talk) 13:25, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
