Comments

"replaced their previous guitar player Jim Martin and were dealing with the absence of keyboard" why did both of these happen?
"Paris, and charted" -> "Paris. The single charted..."
And link record chart.
"had been fired" why?
"Andy Wallace. Wallace had" repetitive.
"close friend of Bottom's.[1][3] In" typo.
" B-side" is there a link for this?

Thanks again for a prompt review. I've addressed the above concerns; regarding your first point I wasn't sure how much details to go into in the lead but have added a bit more information; I also expanded some further details on Martin's firing in the body too. Hope these changes look okay. Gʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ^ˣ 18:54, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... that Faith No More's "Ricochet", originally earmarked as a B-side, contains "one of the band’s most memorable lines"?
- ALT1:... that it's always funny until someone gets hurt, and then it's just hilarious?

Reviewed: Windsor Gardens station
Comment: Based on refs 6 and 20 in the article. ALT1 is just a bit of fun but it's the line singled out by the critic quoted in the first hook, in case we want to run something more quirky.
