Talk:Sylvain Sylvain

Untitled
This article reads like a tourism flier for Sylvain-land. The following sentence is a good example: "He landed a solo recording contract with RCA, and released one brilliant album with some the best musicians in NYC as his backing band" 130.240.218.131 14:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Syl was never, ever part of Joan Jett's backing band, the Blackhearts. I removed that "fact" from the page. MG196 00:18, 28 April 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mg196 (talk • contribs)

Edits
The Early Life section, like everything else here, was pretty bare bones, but I started to fix it up. I added a few details and cited everything. MG196 00:51, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

biographical &c
r.i.p. syl. listen, there's a load of good information in the guy's own book. I suppose it would be excluded on some specious "OR" ruling, but the article doesn't even mention his book, let alone use anything from it. time is now, dolls fans. I've read the book, & that's pretty much all I know about the guy, so over to the experts.
