Redirection of members

The various band members articles were up on votes for deletion... I have redirected all the members individual articles to here and including any content that existed on those articles. Hope thats ok with original page contributers Pcb21 09:57 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Copyright violation?

The vast majority of the History section matches word-for-word the description I see here: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:41u67u50h0j0~T1

Most of this appears to have occurred with the 19:30, 5-Apr-2006 edit.

At the very least, the source of this text needs to be credited and have some indication that permission to copy has been granted; if not, then all of this info needs to be removed as it a copyright violation.

A month and a half and no comments, so I stripped out the text that was lifted from allmusic.

Hand gestures in many band photos

I haven't seen this discussed at all anywhere. In some photos it's obvious what they're doing, other times not so, at least for me. The In Color lp when you open it is an example. Tom Petersson is doing something whith his hands, he isn't holding them naturally. Rick Nielsen has his back turned but he's doing something with his hands which apparently corresponds with what Tom is doing.Some of you must know what I'm talking about.
