Untitled[edit]

isn't this the band where the singer was missing an arm or something? this seems like a bit of trivia that should be mentioned - i remember them getting some good PR mileage out of that. --dan 23:32, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

he was missing a hand

-i'm pretty sure he still is Al.locke 04:47, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Background Music was released under the American Nightmare name and then repackaged after the name change.--Skeev 21:16, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

To claim that Give Up the Ghost aren't notable is to admit that you have no knowledge what so ever of early 21st century American hardcore. Apparently kerrang.com found them notable enough to be featured on a UK show and to announce their name change in the reference I provided. A half-page article about them was also published in Close Up Magazine, one of Sweden's biggest and longest running magazines about extreme music, in issue #59 of June/July -03.[1] I own no copy of that issue myself, but I'll try to get a hold of it. I'm sure there are countless other articles written elsewhere, especially in fanzines, but I suppose that doesn't count for some. --x-Flare-x^{Talk) 01:05, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

Possible sources to add (I'm not planning to edit this myself):

AMG entry
reviews from punknews.org (not sure if this meets WP:RS)
album review at aversion.com

etc. -MrFizyx 23:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed recently that there seems to be a trend running through Wikipedia to cite hardcore, punk and other underground music as being "not notable". I just recently defended the Slapshot article but I know that the Blood For Blood article was being deleted as well. --Skeev 21:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the record sales should surely be enough to prove their notability - can anyone find figures? - Al.locke 04:47, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Around 175k in total, how does that quality? I don't know but that fall out boy line needs to go away or be radically changed since it's based on early newsposts without sources. The deal is that Wes didn't know that the band existed but heard that they had credited him as "inspiratador" for their 2005 record. He contacted them and the guy in fall out boy decided that the way to properly pay him off (major label royalities) would be to the two of them to collaborate on some lyrics for songs, which they did, hence the writing credits.

This is pieced together from serveral interviews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.183.200.215 (talk) 17:06, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move back to American Nightmare (band)?[edit]

With the news that they'll be releasing a new album in February 2018 via Rise Records under their old name of American Nightmare, should we move them back to their original name's Wikipedia page? VampireKilla (talk) 06:17, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
