[edit] Gay Musicians
If he is openly gay, shouldn't he be included in the Gay Musicians category?
- Yes, categorized now. BKmetic
[edit] Satanist
really? what are the sources for such news?
1999 autobiography "Tainted Life" pictures Almond with Boyd Rice, who was very involved with the CoS at the time the photo was taken, and states that it was Rice who inducted him into the Church of Satan.

Uh, the book itself? Also, the Church of Satan has a page (http://www.churchofsatan.com/Pages/Almond.html) discussing it as well. Chimericaldemise 23:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- Is Marc Almond still a member of the Church of Satan? I thought he quit and is no longer a member. RiverHockey 19:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lollapalooza
Since when was Lollapalooza "gay-themed?!"
[edit] Chart positions
Is there any evidence for the edits by "Lord Valaraukar" to Marc Almond's peak chart positions? Some of those look suspiciously high.
- I was just coming here to ask about this, following this editor's contributions. He made faulty edits to some of the Duran Duran articles I watch; I can't tell if it's mistaken or intentional. Thanks! — Catherine\talk 01:29, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Date of birth
Regarding this edit: I think it is worth mentioning that Almond's so called "official site" insist on his date of birth being 9/7/57. (Quote: Marc would like to point out that he is 49 this year and NOT, NOT, NOT 50 as will no doubt be reported in various misinformed media. When you are 49 every year counts! Marc's date of birth is 9/7/57, work it out! Next year will be the big celebration! Marc would also like it known that in his head he is still in his early twenties!!) --Adolar von Csobánka (Talk) 19:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia content not trivia
The "Trivia" section items aren't trivia; they should be worked into the article elsewhere.
The item about the Bananarama remix should be in a section on his work as DJ/remixer. (And he also remixed Really Saying Something, and the remix album may be from 2006 per iTunes, and BTW is it the original 80s versions or new versions being remixed?)
The item on his religion should be integrated into his biography.
[edit] Electroclash
There should be some discussion of his influence on/participation in the ill-fated electroclash movement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.7.19.214 (talk) 06:54, 31 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] And the whole article is a mess
Life and Works is a mess -- it just jumps in with a current band -- it needs to start with his birth, and of course feature Soft Cell prominently:
Birth, family, growing up Anything he's described as his youthful musical influences His first bands Worldwide superstardom with Soft Cell Solo career with cult following and occasional hits Transition to club music and DJing The electroclash movement Tragedy strikes! Recent events
I believe he wrote a book at some point? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.7.19.214 (talk) 07:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC).
