Wonder if we can get a nice picture of the band... maybe if we ask a site nicely...

Sounds like a good idea, REALLY. po

Just wondering what the source is for the "last-ditch effort to salvage his music career by re-recording his older hits" thing? Because as best as I know from various sources is that the first work with Gabrels, which produced the updated "Look Back in Anger", was intended as a one-off for the Intruders at the Palace benefit concert, and they then began work on a concept album based on West, which was abandoned early on, and then they made the demos that would go towards the first TM album...

Near-total rewrite. Hopefully it reads a bit more like an encyclopedia entry rather than an opinion piece now.

East
"They then began to plan a concept album based on the play East as a Bowie solo album". I have taken the plunge and identified this as Steven Berkoff's play, but I have no way of knowing for sure. Where did the original author of this article get his information? Which book was he copying from, and what is East supposed to be? -Ashley Pomeroy 13:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

"Hard rock supergroup"
1. Not hard rock by any means 2. Not really a supergroup... With the exception of Bowie, the members were not well known.

Orphaned references in Tin Machine
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Tin Machine's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "guinness": From Bleach (Nirvana album): Roberts, David, ed. (2006). British Hit Singles & Albums. number 19 edition. HIT Entertainment. ISBN 1-904994-10-5.

From List of awards and nominations received by David Bowie:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:54, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
