Claims she was a founding member
editHear it claims she was a founding member of 'What Is This?' but on the article for the band it says she joined later. Which is correct? Stratpod 20:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Hanging Tree
editRe: edit dated 24/06/2006
The liner notes for Songs For The Deaf do state that Hanging Tree was "written by Alain Johannes (Channel This Music/ASCAP) and Josh Homme".
Hanging Tree first appeared on Desert Sessions 7 & 8, Johannes played "All Guitars" on this version.

My liner notes DO NOT credit Johannes with the song.
Mine do - I'm looking at it right now:
All songs written by Josh Homme (Board Stiff Music/BMI) and Nick Olivieri (Natural Light Music/BMI) except "Everbody's Gonna Be Happy" written by Raymond Ray Davies (American Metropolitan Enterprises of New York-Sony/ATV Songs LLC/BMI); "Millionaire" written by Josh Homme and Mario Lalli (Blood Onion Music/BMI); "No One Knows", "A Song for the Deaf" and "A Song for the Dead" written by Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan (Ripplestick Music/BMI); "Hangin Tree" written by Alain Johannes (Channel This Music/ASCAP) and Josh Homme

And this is from the horse's mouth, so to speak:
I did write the song. Josh wrote some lyrics with me. When the first 400,000 copies of Deaf where printed they omitted my name from the credits (some error!). Therefore there are many people who would have no idea. I wrote "Hangin' Tree" and "Making A Cross" on the porch couch at Rancho De La Luna while Fred Drake made us breakfast before the days' recording started. Alain

Instruments and Equipment
editAs a producer and multi-instrumentalist, Alain Johannes is known for his large collection of instruments. I agree that the well-researched section about his instruments needed to be removed as that is only peripherally related to his fame, BUT I believe there may be a reason to one day put it back in (or part of it). That’s because Johannes also collaborates in development with luthiers and pedal F/X makers, so this is an area to watch for significance of that role. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Denstat (talk • contribs) 16:27, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- This long list of instruments and pedals played, as well as Johannes' influence on instrument and pedal development, as well as his gear choice influence on other artists, can be found under the edit by Klow dated January 21, 2022. Denstat (talk) 21:38, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
