I commented out the last bit because it seemed irrelevant, definitely to the page about the band, and maybe even to the album page. -leigh

I changed the typo that said that their frist album was in 2005 to agree with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demons_and_Wizards_%28album%29 -anonymous dude

Influences... part

"Influences in these albums vary a lot but they are worth the listen as Hansi's voice works very well with Jon's guitar and the pair make for a very interesting side-project."

This is not neutral. It should be removed. Anzuhan 17:21, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hansis wife

i replaced this because it was actually jon scaffers wife who suggested this. :)

sophomore album

I don't think 'Touched by the crimson king' was less then 'Demons & Wizards'. It took a while to create, but I believe that Tbtck was received just as well or even better as 'Demons & Wizards'. 80.200.81.36 12:30, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uriah Heep reference

I don't agree with the line "Hansi always corrected her that it is more properly stated "Demons and Wizards", in reference to Uriah Heep's album of the same name" being in here..... I can not find any evidence from the sources listed to support this. 24.210.216.24

Supergroup

Would this band be considered as a super group? I think so because there's the guitarist from Iced Earth and the vocalist from blind guardian. Sheish

Not really, a supergroup is composed of the 'star musician' from other bands. While two of them could be considered the 'star' the others I doubt would be. Mavrick (talk) 15:07, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flag Icon

I've removed the flag icons from this page per Manual of Style guidelines (specifically, emphasizing nationality in a band that doesn't represent any nation and using too many flags) as well as the clear rule on Template:Infobox Musical artist that flag icons are not necessary. Managerpants has pointed out in his edit summary that there was "no consensus for removal" on the Wikipedia:MOSFLAG Talk page, but official Manual of Style and template guidelines trump any discussions on Talk pages, especially when those discussions were meant to change the official policy. (People can argue as much as they want on a Talk page, but it's only a proposal until the official guidelines get changed.) That's how I see it, at least, and I think that guidelines back me up. Wyatt Riot (talk) 12:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The manual of style does not refer to bands, only to individuals. Believe me, we have covered this in depth on the talk page over there. It's not a proposal to change the official guidelines, it's that the official guidelines DON'T cover this. Hope that makes sense! --Managerpants (talk) 18:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how a Manual of Style guideline like this can only apply to certain types of articles, but I'll take your word on it. The standards for the the artist template itself, however, states that we shouldn't be using flagicon. That applies to both individuals and groups.

Question about a possible change to the page

I would like to know whether Jon Schaffer should be considered a former member at this point? — Preceding unsigned comment added by James12183 (talk • contribs) 21:31, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously not as long as there isn't official news about him leaving the project/being fired or whatever. Xiamatt (talk) 23:17, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
