Talk:Flotsam and Jetsam (band)

This Article Blows
Could somebody interested in this band (if that person exists) please rewrite this article? Aside from just being plain horrible, it's partially in first person...this article needs serious help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.130.35 (talk) 18:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Why the hell does Metallica have a whole discog/band members/etc section? Just because Jason Newsted played on one F&J album doesn't mean that the bands are related. 72.193.180.133 (talk) 02:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Added Original Research Tag
Large sections of this article are either unsourced or contain unverifiable sources (i.e. the claim about 1,000,000 record sales). While the detailed history of the band is appreciated, if it can't be reliably sourced it will need to be removed to comply with the standards of verifiability.

Band timeline corrections?
Just a few things I noticed...After some band name changes, it appears that Flotsam and Jetsam didn't actually "start" until late 1983 or early 1984. The current timeline shows the band starting in 1981. During my internet travels, it was found that the band was named Paradox (1981-1982), Dredlox (1982-1983), Dogz (1983), THEN Flotsam and Jetsam. (Source @ https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Flotsam_and_Jetsam/621) Should the timeline be adjusted to just show F&J? Should band name bars be added to the top of the timeline?

 * Yes A.R.M. 12:23, 15 May 2020 (UTC)


 * The timeline looks solid now. I cross referenced about 3-4 sources, took the best of all worlds, and made some changes. Then, I went through the album liner note credits to further verify band/session memberships, added bars to show credit where credit was due, and made other editions. The band name bars might be a bit questionable, but I'm comfortable leaving those as is for now. Hope this helps a bit. CYAce01 (talk) 09:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
