One member bands?
There a number of artists that identify as bands, but only have a single member in the studio and expand on tour. Toxic Holocaust and early Nine Inch Nails for instance. I feel like there should be a term for that, but I'm not sure what. - Immigrant laborer (talk) 23:55, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Agree, and if you research and find a source for it, it belongs in the article. Solo project (currently a redirect) is another one that could be expanded on, if reliable sources can be cited. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 17:17, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
GNR
Guns N’ Roses had 6 members when they recorded Use Your Illusion I, and have since expanded to a seven-piece band (they have 2 keyboardists). Are they worth a mention in this article? KevinML (talk) 20:44, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
Death Grips
In my edit I removed the mention of Death Grips in the "Modern bands that use this format include Ninja Sex Party and Death Grips." sentence because I believe it is clearly shown they are not a duo but a trio of MC Ride, Zach Hill, and Andy Morin. At the same time, they are an unusual trio in the field of rock, consisting of a vocalist, a keyboardist/audio engineer, and a drummer in a style arguably more in the fields of hip hop than rock, even though industrial rock and rap rock are noted genres. If their mention is needed I hope for a more appropriate area, but please recognize that they are a trio. Carlinal (talk) 23:08, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Is this article's title incorrect?
@Loginnigol: This article is about rock and pop music bands. Which details in this article are inaccurate or misleading? Jarble (talk) 15:10, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- The name and redirects. Once upon a time it was called a rock band. That is indeed an existing term. But "band, rock and pop" or "rock and pop band" is original research. It's not a term that is commonly used outside of this Wikipedia article. —Loginnigol 15:40, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
