Talk:Specimen (band)

Untitled
Why is "deathrock" listed as genre for Specimen? Deathrock was an american genre, and Specimen being a UK-band. It makes as much sense as labeling Christian Death batcave.

The band is sometimes refered to as deathrock probably because a lot of the Batcave bands formed around the sametime as when the american detahrock bands started touring Europe. Not to mention the band seems realy heavily influenced by horror which is more in common then the more punk influenced "goth" bands like Bauhaus.

who is in the picture?
am i to assume that specimen was a solo performer? if not, there should not just be a picture of one band member. 67.172.61.222 22:49, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

It's Johnny Slut the Keyboardist and "face" of Speciman. I think a group picture would be best, the only problem is finding one. They were a relatively underground act, the only reason so many pictures of Johnny is out there is because he was also a Model for the Boy label.

Uh
Jonny Slut should not redirect here. Wankers. 71.68.17.30 18:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Group photo?
There's rather good promo photo at Specimen Discogs page. Copyrighted of course (free alternative isn't realistic in Specimen's case). Should this one be used here? The Merciful 17:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
