[edit] greatest industrial bands ever
Truely one of the greatest industrial bands ever, and one of the most underrated Canadian bands. Paragraph 2 needs some work.
[edit] "industrial" quotes
Quick question . . . why is industrial in quotes at the beginning of this article? Is it really necessary? Eldamorie 01:54, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] industrial
Yeah, I agree with the above question. We shouldn't be afraid to use the word industrial. Besides, Skinny Puppy helped define the genre post Throbbing Gristle. Iluvchineselit 18:34, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
-- I strongly disagree. Skinny Puppy is not an industrial band. In America, it appears to be a common mistake to apply the name "industrial" to any kind of dark electronic music, even to bands like VNV Nation which is completely wrong. Right now under "genre" it says Industrial / Alternative. I would rather it said Electronic, Experimental, Alternative. To me, bands like SPK and Throbbing Gristle are industrial bands, but Skinny Puppy is too dance-y and mainstream to fit in that category.
- We need not get into a genre war. It is generally accepted that Skinny Puppy is an industrial band, and is very commonly referred to as such. Also, please sign your comments. --NeoVampTrunks 21:20, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] picture
That's not a very great picture of Skinny Puppy..
[edit] dwayne side project
Dwayne also had several side projects outside of Skinny Puppy. The more notable among them ADUCK and a side project with Phil "Philth" Western of plateaU.
[edit] Bad picture
Wow... that is a REALLY bad picture of skinny puppy... how about we add one circa mid 80's???
[edit] slightly reworked
first of all please use headings when commenting, with apologies to the original authors, I added them here to make for an easier read. I reworked the years active part to reflect that Skinny Puppy disbanded in '95, reunited briefly for Dresden, and then later reunited (i used the release date of the underworld (Soundtrack) for the 2003 date). I thought the opening paragraph was a little too small so I added a NIN reference there, please remove it if you can think of something better to add to that paragraph.

[edit] Remove tracklistings
Personally I feel the tracklistings should be removed from the Collections information. It's more appropriate to have tracklistings on the pages for the Collections themselves and not in the main article. None of the rest of the releases have them. heavensblade23 00:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- I removed the tracklistings for the back & forth releases (as they have their own pages) but i left in the other collections' tracklistings, as they do not yet have their own articles. Articles should be created for the b-sides collect and the singles collect, whereas notes should be put on the pages for bites and remission, explaining the "Bites & Remission" release, as i feel that it does not warrant its own page.68.255.184.74 03:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] template Skinny Puppy
I popped off a template for Skinny Puppy ({{Skinny Puppy}}) and linked it around.Naufana : talk 06:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] new album info?
who took out the info about the new album? i glanced through the page's history, and all i came across concerning that info was that someone stated that they had "moved it from the greater wrong... section, and there was a section for the new album"... really? where? - (the previous unsigned comment was posted by User:65.43.217.207)
- I removed it because it did not seem to be encyclopedic info, it appeared to be a cut and paste of cEvin Key's responce e-mail concerning the Vault 2. An encyclopedic entry concerning the new album would be welcome. As a general rule of thumb, though, one should not directly cut and paste anything into wikipedia. Although any entry on the new album could cite that e-mail (or the litany forum post) as a reference, with "<ref>HTTP address here</ref>." Also that post ended with Key's e-mail address, which is generally not allowed, and an advertisement for the vault 2, which is also generally not allowed. Naufana : talk 17:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] side-projects & guest appearances
Recently I've been playing around with an article devoted to all of the various Skinny Puppy side-projects and guest appearances. Thus far I've only listed the side-projects along with the various members of each group. The page in progress can be found on my sandbox, here. If anyone wants to edit it while it's still in progress, please do. I'd like to create a brief description of each band's style and discog (assuming they do not already have a wiki article). If anyone can help me with a list of guest appearances please either edit the sanbox or let me know on my talk page. Thanks. Naufana : talk 22:22, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Tapeworm" mistag?
I just recently heard "Worlock" for the 1st time, and I'm a bit surprised. My reason is, earlier, I'd had listened to the same song, under the name of Trent Reznor's "tapeworm" project, called "Warlock (ft. Marilyn Manson)" Aside from feeling like an idiot, I'm a bit confused. Is that remix actually tapeworm, or someone else? I assume so because the background vocals DO sound like Maynard James Keenan, who's supposed to be a collaborator... But seeing how wrong I was the 1st time, I have to make sure.
-- you'd listened to the song illegally downloaded as an mp3, the remix is on the album remix dys temper by skinny puppy and has nothing to do with nine inch nails or trent reznor or marilyn manson or tapeworm or maynard james keenan.
