Talk:Alice Cooper (band)

284: 257: 596:' article with this one--I don't see anywhere on this talk page where someone has recommended to do so. I feel that the Spiders' article should remain as a separate entity. Since the Spiders cut a couple records which are unique to the garage era of the 60s, and have collectors and fans that are lovers of that form, why shouldn't the Spiders have an separate article? they were the biggest band in Phoenix in 1966. The Spiders' can now be presented in Wiki lists of 294: 173: 152: 116: 22: 64: 78: 387: 53: 439: 183: 399: 818:
a "Beyonce band" page. And, I am sure that there are WP Rules regarding it as well. That is all well and good for simple situations. But, not often do you see a situation like we do here, where the man in a band changed his name to be similar to the band name and then started his own band with a similar name.

My cousin frm CA and he's on Facebook Don Green aka.. House of Alice is a Superstar when it comes to a tribute to Alice Cooper. My wish is for Alice to see this and go meet my cousin Don. He's been doing this for years and has NEVER met him. I'm not a big hard rock fan but I love my cousin.. Go check

There are situations where a solo artist is known as a person and a band. Rob Zombie would be one - you can't add too much information about the band to the Rob Zombie page because he is a living person and it is considered his personal page. Beyonce would be another. I don't think that Beyonce needs

First, we have "The Alice Cooper Band", which existed until the early 70's. The lead singer, Vincent Furnier, of that band eventually changed his name to Alice Cooper. Therefore, "Alice Cooper" is now a person/musician. He has a band that is simply called "Alice Cooper" (sometimes called The Alice

Testicular fortitude? This isn't even worth responding to. The user that opened an ANI I think should have opened a SPI but they didn't. 3 Ip's with little or no other edits conveniently show up to edit war on your behalf doesn't really seem to pass the duck test. You need to drop the battleground

The Spiders article has no references. I do not see a discussion or proposal on a talk page to merge the article, so the template can be removed (if someone reverts or adds it again, proceed to the talk page). However, given that someone feels it should be merged and the article is unreferenced,

bands and discussed in articles on garage rock. Without such an article, we loose the ability to do those things. So, any move to fold that article into this one is counter-productive. If we were to merge the two articles, then it would have to be done in such a way that gives the garage era
793:. But, under the current page structure, the link to the 2016 band is down near the bottom. They would need to read the bulk of the article to discover that they were looking at something that hasn't existed since 1972 (1974, depending on the source). I would think that " 805:" at the top of the page the same way "The Alice Cooper Band" and "Alice Cooper (musician)" need to be distinguished. In fact, I would think that the two bands need separated at the top even more than the band and the individual because of the similarities. 543:

The field covers genres the band is notably known for per reliable sources. It's widely noted that the band's first two albums are psychedelic rock or art rock, so either should be included and sourced in the article.

Alice Cooper. Alice Cooper's band. The Alice Cooper Band. All I am asking is that Alice Cooper's solo group be listed at the top so that anyone looking can see that they two are different and have their own pages.
893:
if you're searching for the artist… truth is, that page is much longer and refined and contains much more information about the band that this one does. I wonder if a merge, or moving some paragraph, is in order.

I think that the genres given in this article is very brief describing the bands sound. Being that Alice Cooper worked with many different styles.

It is a brand new article. Let's give it time, so that the sources can be gathered. But you are definitely right about the need for sources there.
