Touring

The Touring section would be more appropriate on the album's article, Eternal Blue. I don't see the point in listing their entire touring history. Oroborvs (talk) 02:25, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Now integrated. Not perfect, as I think I'm missing some big festivals (2022's Rock am Ring, Download, Aftershock, to name a few) but we have a good start. dannymusiceditor ^oops 17:40, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Josh on vocals

Can anyone actually verify he does any vocal performance? I haven't found any sources on this information, but it keeps getting added back in. dannymusiceditor ^oops 00:46, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Overall:

@DannyMusicEditor: Good article, but the hooks are pretty bland. Could others be proposed. Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:03, 11 September 2023 (UTC) Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:03, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: I'd happily replace them if I could think of any others. DYK is not my forte. I thought the first one was pretty good with the added context, so I'm surprised, but I'll try to comb through and see if I find any others that stick out enough to me. Most of the material in here seems like pretty routine band encyclopedia history. I'd initially think to pull something from musical style, because they are pretty unique in that regard, but I don't know how I'd present it to make it look that way in the brevity that DYK asks for. dannymusiceditor ^oops 02:09, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: Added one additional hook. I hope this is better, the article is a little tough to make a DYK hook for... dannymusiceditor ^oops 17:57, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, these three hooks could work but it would really depend on the promoter. Onegreatjoke (talk) 23:53, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
