Did they ever do a jewelry (could have been watches) commercial which featured them playing onstage?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.67.92 (talk) 17:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is anyone else tempted to make a "four women fiddling with themselves" joke? Just sayin'... 24.6.42.35 01:38, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jewlery Commercial

[edit]

bond did film a watch commercial a few years back.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.202.248.11 (talk) 16:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One of bond's songs, Allegretto (first track of second album Shine) is a version of the first movement of Palladio by Karl Jenkins. This piece of music was famously used in the De Beers diamond commericials. Trivia buffs will note the first movement of Palladio was titled Allegretto which presumably is the derivation of the name of bond chose. --KitchenGod 04:54, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Capital B?

[edit]

The band in their press releases and promotional material refers to themselves as "bond" and not "Bond"...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.202.248.11 (talk) 16:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to make the article name lower case with the {{lowercase}} template, but it doesn't work. Does anyone know why this is? Alcemáe T • C 23:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting... a recent editor, since reverted, pointed us to WP:MOS-TM for Wikipedia guidelines on capitalizing usually-uncapitalized trademarks. After reading that, I'm ready to change my mind and say that we should capitalize bond throughout this article in order to conform to MOS. We should still note, of course, that the band typically leaves their name uncapitalized, though. Thoughts? —Stormraven (talk · contribs) 12:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The name should be capitalised at every occurrence, as per the link above. Correct English is used above stylistic preferences. Nouse4aname (talk) 14:40, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I can imagine what a storm would be raised if someone tried to capitalise a-ha "at every occurrence" on their page. So if uncapitalisation is permissible for a-ha, why is it not for bond? Garik 11 (talk) 10:24, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Name is lower-case, see MOS:CAPSCFCF (talk) 12:51, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name of article -- possible dispute

[edit]

I have just found out (through record producer John Jones's Wiki article) that there once was an actual rock band out of Canada named Bond that was signed to a major record label in the 1970s. Being that that group predates this one and that it'd probably be more accurate to call the Bond discussed in this article a "string quartet", does anyone think that this Bond needs to be moved to an article called "Bond (string quartet)" and the "Bond (band)" article designation left to the Canadian Bond? (Krushsister 05:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC))[reply]

I don't think it's necessary unless other Bond bands wikis are created... besides, according to Last.fm [2] (I don't know if it's the same you're talking about) aside from bond there's another quartet called Bond active in the 90s and string quartet would apply for them too since they were guitar-based players. --danBLOO (talk) 23:34, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They are BOND now, not Bond or bond

I'd go with that, but unfortunately that isn't a reliable source. CFCF (talk) 12:52, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On their official webpage, http://www.bondquartet.com/biography/ , they refer to themselves mostly as "Bond" in the running text, and occasionally "BOND". However, the "bond" stylization seems to be completely abandoned, so I'm removing the {{lowercase title}} from the article. Hqb (talk) 16:08, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hqb Please add a reference in the text then. CFCF (talk) 17:32, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A reference for what, exactly? For why we don't call them "bond" in the article title, when they don't even do so themselves? Note that I'm not advocating the "BOND" styling (which would also violate MOS:CAPS), just plain "Bond". Hqb (talk) 18:03, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just add that article as a reference then after the first sentence with ...formerly called bond, you never referenced that statement. All the old references in the article state the groups name as bond with a lower-case b. CFCF (talk) 19:42, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm really not sure what you are asking. The fact that they preferred to write their name as "bond" in 2002 is referenced. It's also evident from their web site, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter accounts, as well as more recent news stories, that they don't do so anymore. In fact none of the other articles referenced (whose links still work, anyway) write their name as "bond", only "Bond". If you want the article (or its title) to say that they are still commonly styled as "bond", that's what would need a (recent) reference. Hqb (talk) 20:47, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mel Bush

[edit]

The link to "Mel Bush" takes you to a page about the wrong Mel Bush. Unless the fictional character from Doctor Who was partially responsible for the formation of the band, this should probably be looked into. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.209.136.81 (talk) 16:20, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Fixed, thanks. Hqb (talk) 17:32, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
