Talk:Valient Thorr

Cleanup
I believe that this article needs to be divided into the bands gimmick universe and actual fact. Of course, fact should come first. This article is a bit hard to read as it is. 67.150.235.9 01:18, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion for a new page
While doing a Google search for the phrase "Valient Thorr," I received the impression that there is a relatively large group of individuals who seem to be very interested in the actual conspiracy behind the band's name. Regardless of whether or not the claims are true, should someone not perhaps give them a page of their own? I would note, though, that sites pertaining to the conspiracy theory tend to spell the name different: "Valiant Thor." Examples of such sites include the following:

[Valiant Thor Speaks]

[Valiant Thor The Human Alien From Venus, Washington D.C. V.I.P. During Late 50's]

[Frank Stranges' Meeting with Val from Venus in Washington, D.C.]

Obviously, I do not necessarily subscribe to any of the views expressed in those links. Nevertheless, as mentioned above, such views seem to be widespread enough to warrant a Wikipedia page devoted to them, albeit one written in something of a skeptical tone.

Genre
The genre has been constantly changing and I finally am setting it straight. It is Psychedelic rock, cited using their purevolume and I could use their myspace as well. Any changes of their genre without a change from one of these sources will constitute vandalism. If you are going to change it and have a legitimate reason please list it here or in the edit summary.

 * Just because they call themselves psychedelic rock on their MySpace or purevolume doesn't mean that they are psychedelic. They are much closer to hard rock ('n roll)/heavy metal/stoner, and I'm trying to find more reputable sources than a myspace or purevolume site right now to back this up. Their official site says "Rock 'N' Roll", although I don't feel that's completely accurate to describe their sound alone. Allmusic states "hard rock" and "heavy metal" as their genres, which is a little more accurate. --GVOLTT How's my editing?\My contribs 20:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I have been watching this page for a long time and I have seen their genre jump all over the place. As of now I see this as the most practical solution. What they choose as their genre on purevolume and myspace shows what they consider themselves, which is Psychedelic Rock. Unless someone can find a legit source or has an actual good reason please do not change their genre. Acidskater 08:28, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no way in hell that Valient Thorr is Psycheldelic rock, regardless of what they call themselves.
 * Psychedelic rock does not always mean pink floyd or the grateful dead. The MC5 and the stooges are psychedelic bands. I think what they meant was "we play rock and roll and take drugs." But that has nothing to do with a music genre. Uh, fuck it.

Real Names
Recently Valient Himself has posted on his own personal blog some of his history with one of his earlier bands called ["The Lo-Fi Conspiracy"], they only released a few singles and never did much more than play live shows in North Carolina from 1997 to 2000. Anyway, he makes is obvious that he was the singer for the band and that Nitewolf started it. Anyway, he goes on to say "LO-FI was: Herbie Abernethy- vocals, Tyler Wolf- bass".

With Voiden Thorr's other gig being a two person band being Golden Axe, where on the [MySpace page] for the band lists the guitarist's name as "Guitardo Montalban", his first name being a portmanteau of guitar and his real name (a name ending in -ardo? Maybe Richardo?) and his last name Montalban.

Eidan Thorr's name is probably the easiest to find out, as he is a drummer for ["The Kickass"], a band I own the CD of and enjoy a lot. His name is Benjamin Earl, and he is as talented at the drums as he is at the guitar.

Lucian Thorr's real name (and any of the past members, for that matter) is a mystery to me.

Valient Himself: Herbie Abernethy Nitewolf: Tyler Wolf Eidan Thorr: Benjamin Powell Voiden Thorr: ?? Montalban Lucian Thorr: ??

New Guitarist: Sadat Thorr
I've noticed recently (today is Jan 7th, 2010) that on some of the live show videos on Youtube that it seems like Valient Thorr has replaced Voiden Thorr as one of their guitarists. So, after wondering for a bit, I found a new press photo "for the year 2010" that can be found on the official page on their label's website. Here: with the image itself being located here:. I doesn't seem that Valient Thorr is really ready to let their fans know at the moment, but when I asked Valient Himself on his Twitter account, he responded with "that's Sadat Thorr. Whered u get that pic from?" Source:

So, it looks like it's time to move Voiden to the 'past members' bin (maybe he's taking a break or sharing the duties?) and to add the mysterious new Sadat Thorr. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TiE23 (talk • contribs) 02:02, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
