Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted because... --MetalProgressive (talk) 15:50, 21 July 2011 (UTC)I improved the article since it was marked as speedy deletion, adding the explication and source of why this person is famous. MetalProgressive (talk) 15:50, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

The most important reference in Italian metal progressive music? This is a bull****. like all the thing you can read about this man. He's a poor guitarist, who made one record in the 70's and a few in the 80's. In Italy is best known as a tv-showman, and becouse his few concert end with thrown of objects over him; you can search on youtube to see him playing into pubs or very little places, whit people yelling at him. Richard Benson told thousand of lies about his past: he told about collaboration with famous artist, gigs, world tour, friendship...he often tells that Marylin Manson, when he was just a child, was often in the audience of his concert in the USA.

You keep undo my changes, but you don't really know who is Richard Benson. This page is full of fake information, whit no sources (and the only sources is not real, because is just a copy-paste from a non-official website).--87.21.22.4 (talk) 11:36, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

My I try to suggest? Yes, all those information about Richard Benson being a genious and so on, are false. But, the fact the Richard Benson spread them and that many people talked about them on the media, is real. Therefore, Richard Benson is famous, even if his being famous is due to the success of his lies. Therefore, you should not delete the information, but present them, addind that they are false. Deleting the information completeley would really be vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.190.130.3 (talk) 14:32, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Richard benson played lead guitar and vocalswith the italian progressive band Buon Vecchio Charlie and they released an album in 1972 which received very good critics and is loved by collectors of classic prog-rock. He was 17 and the reecordings show he had talent you can listen him play and sing with "Buon Vecchio Charlie" on youtube wher there is all their LP

he was considered a child prodigy of rock in the underground scene in rome and he joined on stage live other bands such as Banco de Mutuo Soccorso... Then he started suffering from arthritis and his skills started to deteriorate rapidly and began acting eccentrically. In 2001 he had a bad accident falling off Ponte Sisto bridge in Rome, probably while trying to committ suicide... now he is a trash icon in italy and he play in grotesque bizarre trash shows where he swears and scream a lot like he's totally nuts and the crowd boos and throws object to him. he is invited as a host in several major tv shows because of his extremely notoriousness as a comical character — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.251.182.164 (talk) 15:06, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

A meager article

Hello

I just learned about this guitarist and went to this article to find out more, but found that the article is very meager. However the Italian article contains a lot more information and sources and could as such perhaps be used for this article? Okama-San (talk) 18:01, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Rotten tomatoes

You used the picture with trash dripping down his face but there is nothing in the article about his concerts. Most of the people who navigate to this article want to learn about the rotten tomatoes people threw on RB during concerts 2601:405:C100:57A0:812E:E925:8C9A:F167 (talk) 21:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
