[edit]

I think we need a picture for the band line up it seems to have gone missing... I was thinking maybe this one [1] Mjcrow 07:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've just re-instated the section..

"Like many other modern music acts, the Rogue Traders use elements of old songs in their music. However, rather than sampling the original songs, they re-record the relevent parts. "Voodoo Child" contains a re-recorded riff from Pump it up by Elvis Costello. "Watching you" contains re-recorded elements of My Sharona by The Knack."

A previous edit took out half the information, so it no longer made any sense. Mr_Staypuft

Hi, just wondering, why is the 2nd paragraph called SonyBMG? I think another title might be more appropriate!

The 4th point under "facts about RT" _used_ to say "The album Here Come The Drums contains a secret message, involving amphibians."

But NOW it says "The album Here Come The Drums contains a secret message, involving killing the 'Crazy Frog'."

I think the former is better, as the 2nd option GIVES THE SECRET AWAY - so there's no surprise for the listener.

Anyone else? Mr_Staypuft

Because the purpose of wikipedia is to hide information --220.239.89.20 09:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC) Forgot to log in. --Aioth 09:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree!

Izzy Fan

The majority of information on this page seems to be very subjective (is. "smash singles"), thus it tends to read more like a promo piece and not a source of information as it should be. Perhaps more references could be used, as well as more critiquing of information and an objective viewpoint, rather than a carbon copy of some teenager's fansite? As it stands now, a "blind" article as such tends to only damage both the credibility of the wikipedia and the band.

Facts... section

[edit]

I have removed this section.

  • James Ash regularly checks into the Official forum to see what's going on and to answer fan questions.
I don't think this belongs in an encyclopedia.
  • The bands inspiration behind their name came from a movie titled Rogue Trader
Moved to intro paragraph
This might belongs in the album's article, but not in the band's article.
  • The Rogue Traders announced in early 2006 that they had signed with the UK/European division of SonyBMG and will be releasing there early July 2006. The first single was Voodoo Child.
Thanks to 220.238.148.239 (whoever you are!) for writing a whole section on this.
  • A Possible release of Here Come The Drums in the US might occur if the album does well in the UK and throughout Europe.
Wikipedia is WP:NOT a crystal ball.

Second image unneccessary

[edit]

The article currently has two images, both of which are of the same subject. The one that isn't in the infobox should be removed, and the one in the infobox should be replaced by an image of the band, not just the lead singer. 68.146.41.232 (talk) 22:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


We're Coming Home Tour - Missing songs

[edit]

I know that James Ash did a set with some of the songs from We Know What You're Up To during the concert that aren't mentioned in the song list. I know that one of my kind is one of them, does anyone know the rest and when they were played so they could be added to the list?Baggers89 (talk) 13:11, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Concert Set List

[edit]

Is the concert set list and venues necessary in the article? Among other artist pages, this is the only one - as far as I know - that has an entire set list of songs and concert venues. As well, regarding this: "The Rogue Traders New line up will be performing a one night only showcase ' Night of the Living Drums' concert at Starcity (Sydney) on Saturday 10th April", there is no reference to it mentioned on the article.

More to do

[edit]

I have had a go at improving this article and I'm going to leave it for others to tuck in. To do:

  • Improve 'Critical reception' , its very thin and biased with only one comment. More needed for NPOV.
  • Separate section for 'Musical style'.
  • Improve 'Members' section, not well expressed: seems confusing. I'm not sure when (or even if) some members joined the group and when they left.
  • What's Steven Davis doing outside RT work? Any usable photo of him?shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:14, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

00:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC) - good information, but no references at all, and needs more pictures too. Start-class until both of them are done.
