Not to be confused

Michael Star is the singer of Steel Panther. Is it necessary to have a "Not to be confused with" label? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfinator-x (talk • contribs) 01:22, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While

While I was adding some additional info regarding Mike Starr I've accidentally deleted both the discography and the additional reference section. I have also accidentally deleted the categories section. This is primarily because I was editing with a crappy computer that does not work properly. I did try to restore these important links back but seemingly someone is blocking my efforts to put the important links back. Can someone help me restore the important refrence links as well as the categories section for Mike Starr?

Vandal

I've just reverted some stupid edit from some stupid kid who has nothing better to do other than edit garbage into wikipedia articles, please, Starr may no longer be a member of Alice in chains, but for god's sake show some respect. Spokenwordsegment (talk) 17:36, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I made a small edit.

I just put "Utah" after Salt Lake City. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.185.83.209 (talk) 00:01, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Career and Personal Life Updates

I got rid of one of the uncited claims regarding why Mike Starr left Alice in Chains. The original line mentioned the press releases that announced his departure was due to family reasons. I replaced that information with a quotation from a Rolling Stone article from 1994 where Layne Staley says, essentially, the same thing (Starr left band for family reasons). I'm not 100% confident about the citation since it looks like a throwback to 1994 internet -- basically, someone typed up the article. Still, it's better than what was there.

Secondly, I moved the quotations about Celebrity Rehab to the Personal Life section since it didn't have anything to do with his music career, per se. Veggies21 (talk) 00:59, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

sun red sun

Add section on Gear?

Anyone know what kind of gear this guy played? Most good musicians have this section their pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.40.174.17 (talk) 07:42, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Discography

I own an album titled Jar of Flies(1994). It has some of the same tracks as SAP but a few more. Anyone know why its not part of their discography? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.238.88.53 (talk) 13:52, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

real reason for mines firing from alice

it was a combination of his lack of growth as a bassist and others having to write bass parts on dirt, his interest in underage girls on the road, lying to band and management and scalping tickets, among other reasons mime was fired as he no longer fit the mold. He wasnt doing many drugs when he got fired. Layne was using much heavier after all. 2600:1012:B1CC:D5DF:B879:6F57:9E43:4B7F (talk) 04:31, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
