Talk:Mikey Welsh

Self fulfilling prophecy

 * There has been discussion of whether his prediction was a self-fulfilling prophecy[30].

This is kind of unclear. It sounds to me like it was a suicide. Also the source [30] is just a blog entry, not really notable. Can someone take it out or explain it better and get a better source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.31.211.11 (talk) 01:51, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

-fixed to just state the facts. We don't know whether it's a prediction or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.4.248.130 (talk) 07:38, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Flowery language

 * the very mention of his name drawing forth cheers from the crowd. Welsh also got to meet current Weezer bassist Scott Shriner.[20]

This sentence is really silly sounding. Keep it encyclopedic, people. It makes it sound like he's a kid nephew who's confidence you're trying to boost. I would just remove it but maybe someone else wants to re-word it or something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.31.211.11 (talk) 01:49, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Why he *really* left the band
In the book "Rivers' Edge: The Weezer Story" by John D. Luerssen, it's speculated that Mikey's departure from Weezer was at Rivers Cuomo's doing, not necessarily because of any problems Mikey was experiencing at the time. That might be worth noting. I'll see if I can dig up my copy of the book and reference it. Themikeg 18:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * According to the drummer from Danko Jones, he left the band because of a problem with handling the fame, kind of what Kurt Cobain was said to suffer from. Though I've no idea how reliable he is a source. -194.80.32.12 21:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Outsider artist
Did the author who wrote that actually follow the link to see what outsider art is? I see nothing in the article that describes why he's an outsider artist, nor a defense of this claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.45.39.194 (talk) 01:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Nothing about his career as an artist?
I think it'd be appropriate to at least mention the fact that he is an artist now.

here's his site: http://www.mikeywelsh.com/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by JasonDaniel123 (talk • contribs) 07:55, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Disorder
Can someone fix the quote so it doesnt say he had "disorder". A person cant have "disorder" as a diagnosis. if someone knows the source, either correct it, or if no one can find the source, just delete the word "disorder" at the beginning of his list of disorders. IF he did say that, put (sic) after it.(mercurywoodrose)75.61.142.53 (talk) 14:27, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
