Talk:The Heartbreakers

Redirect to Tom Petty's
The first-shown "Heartbreakers" should be set to Tom Petty's backing band.

No way. The Hearbreakers are an important band in the history of punk rock. One of the first and a turning point between the proto-punks (like Thunders) and the first real punks (like Hell). The Tom Petty band was merely a backup band, not famous on its own. Drinky Crow 06:01, 1 February 2006 (UTC) Drinky Crow.

Should Billy Rath get his own article?
I know he wasn’t super active in music outside of the Heartbreakers and all his solo work was just Heartbreakers cover bands, but I think it would be good to make an article for him, since there’s a decent amount of information about him in books such as ‘To Hell and Back’ by Walter Lure and ‘In Cold Blood’ by Nina Antonia Actuallyjoseph (talk) 04:17, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
