^What do you mean? Research on the internet and find out about them. If they have a website that may help.

Shouldn't we update the Jon Lord and Deep Purple bios, in the light of Jon's death??
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Good thread Ian, since over the years I saw hundreds of bios that were lacking or just awful. I can help where I can.

As any decent obsessive compulsive, had to write a Chris Squire Bio that replaced the review Erik wrote.

Already posted.

Chris Squire.


Now I can of course correct the mistakes in  this biography but I think a rewrite is in order. It is nothing more than  an album review in my opinion and not a biography at all.

Thoughts?



I once tried to correct a bio made by Eroik (Who in those days was authorized to create a link for his store) and it caused a scandal by Erik Ouch, who said we were boycotting him, so we didn't touched the one for Chris, I wuill personally make a new one, now tghat Erik is not here.

Please Robert, make a new Echolyn bio, I'll be thankful, last week I made a one for SQUACKETT and one for a Kraut band which I was familiar with, so I know how genre teams need this help.

Thanks

Iván

Thanks for your response Ivan.
Yes I noticed it was by Erik and was wondering how best to proceed. As he is not around so much now I mean. I understand it can be a sensitive issue but this biography is not up to scratch. Thank you for stepping up to the plate.

Ian

With Mickty and raff but mainly with HT and ClemofNazareth we had to write 200 reviews in a few months, because some really sucked,.. others were almost propaganda and some couldn't be called Bios because they said (literally)

"Classic 70's band influenced by YES, GENESIS, KING CRIMSON, PINK FLOYD and JETHRO TULL, a great addition to Prog Archives"

Hey, I don't know why everybody mentioned PINK FLOYD,. KING CRIMSON and JETHRO TULL on a Symphonic bio. LOL
