Untitled[edit]

Should we move this to Daughtry (band), and make this page a disambig? Now that there's an article on the album, it might make things easier to navigate. Just a thought. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 21:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was originally a redirect to Chris Daughtry because of last name. {{R from surname}}. It was redirected before it was announced that there was going to be a band named after the singer's last name. Pink moon 1287 19:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I think this can get up to start class if we just clean the article up a bit. I think there's some nice templates we can use from the My Chemical Romance article. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 21:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Start class now? íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 15:57, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hah! I knew it! I had a feeling I'd find you here, Ice. →Cyclone1→ 19:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I'm here, I created the article, actually. So anyway, should this be a start? íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 21:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I created it - I redirected the last name to Chris Daughtry. Pink moon 1287 19:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But it says Shimmeran or Shimmerman, as the first edit, if you count a redirect as an article's creation. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 21:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that's my alternate account (non-abusive, I never vote more than once- but there was probably a time when I voted on one account and not the other or vice versa..) from when I was on a different terminal. If you look you will see that it's on the same IP.

I always thought they put it in all caps for effect, like as an advertising gimmick. Lots of bands do this, as well. Like Plain White T's or Cartel. I don't think Wikipedia should have it in all caps. The band has their own style guidelines, and Wikipedia has style guidelines too. I'd like to propose moving this article back to Daughtry. On Orkut, they prefer to use "orkut" but on Wikipedia it's Orkut because it's a proper noun. Proper nouns are also not in all uppercase, in Daughtry's case. Oh yeah and you should also put the disambiguation tag back on- in case anyone is looking for the surname Daughtry, or the solo Chris Daughtry. Pink moon 1287 18:58, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it's okay with everyone else, I think this should be up'd to start class because i'm pretty sure it has all possible info about the band, and it is sufficiently sourced. Maybe it should even be a B class article. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 21:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

The band's name is in all caps. --Discharger12 04:54, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I'm pretty sure. Should we move the article? I'll wait a few days and move it to DAUGHTRY (band) if there aren't any objections. - Anas Talk? 18:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I moved it and also edited it to fit the title. Whoever removed my last edit, stop being stupid and changing it. --Discharger12 15:04, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone who does such a move should probably discuss this here before doing so. The band's name is written in caps everywhere, so that should be enough to keep the current name. This is the same deal with articles like iPod. - Anas Talk? 11:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to Wikipedia's style guides, the preferred method for the band shouldn't matter. Since proper nouns in English are not fully capitalized, this article should be called "Daughtry (band)". Evan Reyes 21:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, so are you going to also move LIVE to Live? No? Well, then Daughtry should be DAUGHTRY. --Discharger12 21:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The band Live is already lowercase. Daughtry should be "Daughtry". Evan Reyes 06:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...even though you edited it yourself. (Poorly, I might add.) You didn't bother to change anything but the title itself. --Discharger12 12:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I actually edited the whole page, but someone reverted it. Evan Reyes 21:14, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

City?[edit]

Is the band based in any particular NC city? Raleigh, Durham, Burlington, Greensboro? Pink moon 1287(email•talk•user) 13:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well he was in North Carolina before American Idol so I guess if we can find out the hometown of him that should be the city of origin. Because after he was voted off he went back to his band in his hometown.-Weatherman289 23:26, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added the city or origin. McLeansville is the city. PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY DIFFERENT INFORMATION PLEASE TALK ABOUT IT FIRST.-Weatherman289 23:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

what i want[edit]

was used in a commercial, but i forget what it was for.....could somebody help me with this bit of info for the trivia section? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Purplepurplepurple (talk • contribs) 14:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

found it- NCIS The Unit, on CBS...could somebody please add this to the trivia section?

Not in a trivia section - Wikipedia's policy doesn't allow it. Omghgomg 10:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yeah, but thats a REALLY old message post...back when this article started it had a trivia section, which has been removed. And, in any case, Trivia sections are not against policy, they are just used mainly in new articles, which are still being formed (although the policy DOES say that you should avoid trivia sections, but still, they are not specifically banned).

Chris Daughtry's Departure[edit]

I found here that Chris Daughtry just quit his own band Here Trivium9786 23:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Did you bother to check the date of the article? April 1st. You, my friend, have been fooled.Purplepurplepurple 23:23, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nope...didn't even bother to check the date, too lazy Trivium9786 00:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

HAHAHAHAHA thats funny I seriously don't think Daughtry would quit his own band. I mean it was said on American Idol that Daughtry would perform on the finale or a show before the season ends. If there's any info that's not on Daughtry's website more than likely it's just a rumor and rumors don't belong on Wikipedia.-Weatherman289 23:23, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Post-Grunge?[edit]

"Rock" sounds a bit vague to me, they clearly come under the post-grunge genre. Quiet verses, very loud, overdriven choruses; radio friendly, influenced by Live (another post-grunge band), sound similar to bands like Creed, Nickelback and the like. I don't see how Daughtry could NOT be labelled post-grunge. I'm adding it. James25402 19:29, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pop music band[edit]

To me, I consider them a pop music band, pop rock like Kelly Clarkson. Google Music Trends agrees with this belief - lists Daughtry in pop trends and not alternative nor rock. [1]  Chantessy  00:40, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.108.8.3 (talk • contribs)


Do you even know the meaning of Pop or how they sound like? Arranox

I still think they are pop rock...  Chantessy  21:12, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They're not a pop-rock band, they're an alternative rock and post-grunge band. You are confusing their genre because alternative rock and post-grunge are extremely commercial and easily accessible to the mainstream. James25402 17:41, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's why there's a category called Grunge-Pop, I saw Daughtry fall under that category in the Windows Media Player's Music Guide. Yoni8 17:38, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's still pop. iTunes Store lists Daughtry as pop, as well.  Chantessy  15:18, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pop don't make me laugh, you really are showing you're lack of musical genre knowledge here also note the iTunes Store also lists Bon Jovi and Rage Against The Machine as pop.--Brickovic (talk) 16:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

Can we find a better image that shows ALL of the band members, not just Chris. Omghgomg 09:38, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pop AND Hard Rock?[edit]

We need to choose one or the other; the two are complete opposites. Aobaru (talk) 00:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. If we were talking about individual songs, then yes, you can't use both at the same time, but some of Daughtry's songs are hard rock (What I Want being a good example, or any of their post-grunge songs are a form of hard rock) and some are more commercial, slower songs that I guess people are choosing to label as pop rock. I personally don't find them to be pop rock or hard rock especially, although you can't have one without the other to describe the band because they're neither hard enough to be hard rock or soft enough to be pop rock, somewhere in between maybe. They're just an average, run of the mill alt. rock/post-grunge band in the same vein as Live in my opinion. They even use alternative song structures, i.e. instead of having a guitar solo after the 2nd chorus as you would in* a hard rock track, they will have a bridge which is sometimes followed by a guitar solo, or followed by a quiet second bridge leading to the final chorus. James25402 (talk) 11:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply] 

Right, so you consider there's no way a band or artist can play more than one genre? How boring. Daughtry may have some stuff that are pop or pop rock, but they have harder stuff as well. Stuff that can be compared to Shinedown, Nickelback, Alter Bridge, Three Days Grace etc.

Post Grunge???[edit]

With all due respect, those are ridiculous comparisons. The Calling and Switchfoot are also post-grunge bands, so if you want people to agree with you, at least make it look like you know what you're talking about.
Also, listen to the chorus on "Gone", "There and Back Again", "It's Not Over" and most of the non-ballad songs on Daughtry's album and tell me those are soft songs. Daughtry may not be as heavy as many Soundgarden and Three Days Grace songs but those bands combine alternative metal/post-grunge (or grunge in Soundgarden's case - stupid comparison as Soundgarden aren't even post-grunge), whereas Daughtry combine alternative rock/post-grunge. Another weak comparison.
Daughtry are a mainstream, commercial band sure, but they are not simply pop. It is an element of their music and is worth having in the infobox, but they are clearly heavy enough to come under the post-grunge genre. James25402 (talk) 21:49, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Alternative rock"?[edit]

Is it possible to be both 'alternative rock' and 'pop rock'? 'Alternative' tends to imply being different from what is popular, does it not? And I mean, Daughtry had a multi-platinum album - when you become the mainstream can you still be alternative? Were you ever alternative in the first place if your career started on American Idol, you've always been signed to RCA, and it was your first release that was multi-platinum? On another note: Even if you disagree with the rest of my points, that source says 'adult alternative,' which is a very different genre than 'alternative rock' itself. K1da42 (talk) 15:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To my knowledge, alternative does not refer to being alternative to the mainstream, but rather alternative to standard rock music. James25402 (talk) 22:59, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And how is Daughtry different than standard rock music? I especially don't see how he's more so than the likes of Linkin Park, moe., and Phish. Tezkag72 (talk) 13:19, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Band Name Analogy[edit]

Does the Band Name story need to be recounted twice? It was mentioned chronologically in the breakthrough section after Idol, then an identical "Band Name" section was added to the article. I would think one of the two could go. It's not THAT big of a deal. SquashEngineer (talk) 20:48, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
