[edit] Line-Up Is Wrong/Incomplete
A major problem with this article is that the line-up listed in the article is only applicable to the first few years of the band's existance. By around '86 or '87, there were no original members left in TSOL. Someone who actually cares about this article (not me) should update it to reflect that. 216.239.66.204 01:34, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] WTF?
Hardcore punks don't wear make-up and all-black clothes. And TSOL did not create hardocre punk music. It's common knowlege that Black Flag did.
[edit] Well...
In all fairness a few hardcore punks did wear makeup, but this wasn't common. TSOL didn't start hardcore punk, you're right, but they were anarcho and goth-punk pioneers.
And, uh, plenty of hardcore punks wore all-black. Plain black pants and t-shirts were pretty common, although not as common as, say the stereotypical blank grey t-shirt and jeans. But no, they didn't create hardcore.
Whoever said Black Flag created hardcore punk is a total dumbass for 2 reasons: 1) He's stating an opinion as a fact 2) It's not a very educated opinion, Black Flag was only really hardcore right after Henry Rollins joined. I'm not the punk police here to tell you The Clash aren't punk and Black Flag isn't hardcore though, it's just far from "common knowledge." I would say the Dead Kennedys or D.O.A. started hardcore punk. The Secretary of Funk 09:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bias
This article is VERY biased and contains biased views on the band's albums. I suggest editing the article so it remains more objective.
[edit] The Band Name Rumor
i have removed the "True Sons Of Liberty" rumor, as it is just that: hearsay, and therefore cannot be subject to citation. If we can at least find a good source stating that this was/is rumored to be true, perhaps it could be added back in. MiraFirefly 16:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
