Wonder if we can get a nice picture of the band... maybe if we ask a site nicely...

Sounds like a good idea, REALLY. po

Just wondering what the source is for the "last-ditch effort to salvage his music career by re-recording his older hits" thing? Because as best as I know from various sources is that the first work with Gabrels, which produced the updated "Look Back in Anger", was intended as a one-off for the Intruders at the Palace benefit concert, and they then began work on a concept album based on West, which was abandoned early on, and then they made the demos that would go towards the first TM album...

Near-total rewrite. Hopefully it reads a bit more like an encyclopedia entry rather than an opinion piece now.

East[edit]

"They then began to plan a concept album based on the play East as a Bowie solo album". I have taken the plunge and identified this as Steven Berkoff's play, but I have no way of knowing for sure. Where did the original author of this article get his information? Which book was he copying from, and what is East supposed to be? -Ashley Pomeroy 13:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citations[edit]

I think the second paragraph in the critical reception section should have some more verification. It just kind of seems off the cuff to me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jamesanth2 (talk • contribs) 22:26, 14 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:TinMachineBand.jpg[edit]

Image:TinMachineBand.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"Hard rock supergroup"[edit]

1. Not hard rock by any means 2. Not really a supergroup... With the exception of Bowie, the members were not well known.

Orphaned references in Tin Machine[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Tin Machine's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "guinness":

From Bleach (Nirvana album): Roberts, David, ed. (2006). British Hit Singles & Albums. number 19 edition. HIT Entertainment. ISBN 1-904994-10-5.
From David Bowie discography: Roberts, David (editor) (2006) [1977]. British Hit Singles & Albums (19th edition). London: HiT Entertainment. pp. 72–73, 560. ISBN 1-904994-10-5.
From List of awards and nominations received by David Bowie: Roberts, David (ed.). British Hit Singles & Albums (19th ed.). HIT Entertainment. pp. 72–73. ISBN 1-904994-10-5. {{cite book}}: |first= has generic name (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:54, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
