Talk:Bill Berry

Overly detailed post-retirement appearances

I think that the last three recently added paragraphs (starting from Mike Mills' comment) are vain. We don't need to know about one performace in such detail. It is possible to report such details in music magazines, and in extremely detailed R.E.M books, but not in an encyclopedia article. I am fan, I don't easily get annoyed when I see factual R.E.M. material. But the setlist and comments about one show are unsuitable for Wikipedia. -Hapsiainen 14:19, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I disagree Bill Has'nt done much since his retirement and any performance he does with the band until he officaly comes out of retirement (aka records with the rest of REM) is noteworthy and keeps the artical from being a stub then nominated for deletion. --Hagamaba 01:43, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Nobody is seriously going to propose deletion of this article. Phil Sandifer 22:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Overlong retirement section

The retirement section is overlong, and in an excessively informal tone, hence the addition of the cleanup tag. Phil Sandifer 22:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Cleaned up

I have run through the article, boiling down the way excessive detail in both of the above areas. Accordingly I have removed the 'cleanup' tag. Wasted Time R 12:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

ccMixter

Bill Berry has an account with ccMixter where he does some rather good remixes. Not sure if it's worth or mention or a link, but all the stuff is under a CC license so it's not exactly a commercial plug. Stilroc (talk) 06:56, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Peacock Terms

Removed the phrase "By the early 1990s, they had become one of the most acclaimed bands in the world", which contains peacock terms and does not contribute any useful information to the article. SomebodyElse321 (talk) 11:27, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Chart

Why are all his projects in some giant ugly charts instead of being in the prose of the article. 18:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.207.103.73 (talk)

Replaced by...?

I can't find, in any relevant article, what the band did for percussion after Berry left. New drummer(s)? Drum machine? Pre-recorded loops of Berry? Percussionless? This should be clear in this article, in R.E.M., in articles on the post-Berry albums. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 07:44, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
