This is a Fan Page

This seems to need a total rewrite, lots of POV comments littering it.--68.231.168.20 23:51, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the more puke-inducing stuff and added a cite at the top in place of some assertions. Still a lot of unsupported stuff there, for instance the info on the album Heavy.

"Balance received wide critical acclaim and has been claimed by the band to have sold in excess of 500,000,000 copies"... Is this a joke?

Cleanup

Clean up the headers (needs to be == instead of ===) and fix some red links, such as the MMVAs. --Gary King 02:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to tone down some of the boastfull language and they were very hostile in quickly changing it back. They made the page themselves as cheap promotion, it's not even a fan page.

These guys are queer and when mad child frowns he looks like a lol omg idiot!

I hope the bikers they hung out with in the video extorted them and left them with no money. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.216.162.175 (talk) 18:07, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hometown

They may be based in Vancouver now but originated in Victoria, I lived there around the time Balance was released and remember hearing this about them. I think I remember one of them saying this but can't remember where, maybe someone else can verify it.

I think that any of you faggots talkin shit should at least try to duplicate the skill they have before opening your mouth about how bad they suck! buncha lames

Brandon Raub?

Why does Brandon Raub redirect here? I think someone is trying to hide something. We shouldn't be afraid of facts or try to hide them. Even if you don't like them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.234.60.138 (talk) 12:43, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A section on Raub was removed on November 2, 2012. It read, in full:

On August 16th, 2012, decorated US Marine Brandon Raub was detained by the Secret Service and local police and taken to a mental institution in Virginia for Facebook posts that included lyrics from the Swollen Members song "Bring Me Down."^[1]
