[edit] Don't put the cite back
Besides making no sense, saying that females think he was the sexiest is not NPOV. How do you know that males didn't find him sexy? How do you not know that people thought Phil was sexiest? Snapfisher 21:50, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Another BLP with ZERO footnotes??
I removed the following...
- "He is perhaps most recognizable for his lead vocal on the Dead's song "Truckin'", released on the 1970 album American Beauty. Although overshadowed as an instrumentalist by lead guitarist Jerry Garcia, Weir was considered to have the strongest voice in the group."
....as original research,POV,unsourced,errr what else?? Can we get at least ONE footnote into this article?? I know, I know, why don't I add it myself...fine, this is now on my watchlist and I will add as I can...where is User:Moeron when you need him :)?? --Tom 17:19, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- From his listing athttp://www.dead.net/index2.php, "Over the years, he grew to be one of rocks finest and most distinctive rhythm guitarists ... he became the co-lead-vocalist with Garcia, and wrote a number of important songs." At All Music Guide, "As the health of Dead frontman Ron "Pigpen" McKernan waned, Weir found his rich baritone increasingly at the center of attention and developed a stage personality to match it" and "As Garcia's dependence on drugs increased, Weir found himself increasingly in the position of de facto bandleader." As for information for GD books, I will see what I can find when I get home from work today/tonight.

Please do not remove the "cite needed" tags unless you're providing a citation. Seelie 18:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ratdog
This article states that Ratdog was formed after Garcia's death. I believe Ratdog was formed well before this. I have a tape of Ratdog performing the day Garcia died. I will have to do some hunting for a formation date of Ratdog.

- Actually the article says "Shortly before Garcia's death in 1995, Weir formed another band, Ratdog Revue, later shortened to Ratdog." Seelie 10:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
