Talk:Arthur Kane

Origin of his nickname
Either his nickname was inspired by an early review of the New York Dolls that described his basslines as "killer" (as several biographies around the Internet state) or the old Buck Rogers comic strip villain Killer Kane (I've never heard this one before). Which was it? Ecto 16:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I watched a special on TV about Arthur Kane yesterday and it said it was because of the "killer" bassline description. Meltingwax 20:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * In the movie New York Dolls, Arthur Kane acknowledges both of these theories as correct --75.39.52.32 (talk) 13:30, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Death
Kane was murdered. No one is diagnosed with leukemia and dies two hours later.

With his history, it is likely he took matters into his own hands after the diagnosis.


 * Mormons tend not to kill themselves--not that talk pages are the place for such speculation. Ecto 09:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

It is pretty bizarre that someone could be diagnosed of and die from leukemia in the space of 2 hours. Just in general this article really needs some sources, citations, footnotes, something. How the writer could possibly know what "really" happened when Kane went out a window is beyond me as well. 71.63.119.49 (talk) 01:28, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
