Untitled[edit]

Note: If anyone could translate this Wiki Page's info for me, I will work its info into this page. My Japanese is not good enough for anythign past the discography/tracknames and a few other things. Also, feel free to correct my translations of the single/album/dvd titles. Japanese SEX MACHINEGUNS Wiki

Genre Discussion[edit]

Sex Machineguns are, in my opinion, power metal. A lot of their stuff sounds almost exactly like Imaginations-era Blind Guardian. Metal Archives also agrees. I can say for certain that they're DEFINITELY not speed metal. The previous labeling of heavy metal was much closer. Shralla 19:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The song BURN ~Love's Burning Fire~ is pure Thrash Metal, Metallica style, no way SEX MACHINEGUNS are Power Metal. -- Stahn @ 02:00, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

there is no way in hell SM is power metal

I don't know where you're finding this Blind Guardian link, but I don't see it. As far as I can tell, they're labelled as power metal simply because they sound somewhat like speed/power bands like DragonForce. They lack the vocal and lyrical styles of power metal, and I don't see anything beyond speed and maybe some thrash. Slayer425 06:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization?[edit]

Is it the proper form of the band name to be fully capitalized, rather than Sex Machineguns? Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 16:23, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Discography clean-up[edit]

After taking a look at different articles for musicians around Wikipedia, I figured that the discography for this article might need some cleaning up. Some general rules that I've seen are things such as italicizing titles for albums but not singles, which just get quotations; including romanization and original Japanese titles; and dropping title translations altogether.

I'm willing to do all of this since I did such a large edit last year when I included tables in the discography section, but I figured I would check for some responses first before something as vaguely defined and easily contested such as translations causes some edits, reverts, and general bickering. - E-Keo (talk) 05:06, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrical Theme[edit]

It says that lyrical themes are about violence, taking Fami Resu Bomba as an example. But seriously, everyone knows Sex Machineguns lyrics are NOT about violence, but silly stuff. Even Fami Resu Bomba is a humorous song considering it's about a guy getting angry at minor stuff in a restaurant. Examples of silly, non-serious lyrics/song titles are: Japan, Mikan no Uta, Midori No Obachan, Daemaedo Icchokusen, Sexy Hero Revolution, Sashimi to Wasabi, Jacky etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irikeheavymetal (talk • contribs) 11:03, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
