Untitled[edit]

Added a new paragraph about the current goings on with their website and stuff. Probably needs to be edited to sound more encyclopedic, but it's better than nothing.65.43.214.112 18:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great Article[edit]

I can't believe that I am the first to comment lol. This article looks like its in good shape, cudos to the person who created it. Bill102 16:39, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know when you read this, but something's happened to it. There are chunks missing, and it makes no sense. For example:

Finger Eleven is a band that has earned a devoted Canadian following. Their first album, Letters from Chutney (1995) . with money won from a rock band search contest on a radio station...

vice

Finger Eleven is a band that has earned a devoted Canadian following. Their first album, Letters from Chutney, was recorded under the name Rainbow Butt Monkeys, with money won from a rock band search contest on a radio station...

That second, ungarbled version is from here:

http://rhymetime.wordpress.com/2007/07/19/finger-eleven-discography/

So, if the owner of that blog isn't the one who did that entry, it's not only been bollixed up, it's plagiarized.Zlama 02:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rainbow Butt Monkeys[edit]

where is this cited?

What part of it? Adam Bishop 07:33, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

one thing[edit]

the song one thing was featured in the comedy-serie "Scrubs". maybe this could be mentioned.

Butt Monkeys[edit]

HAHAHAHA..These guys played at a battle of the bands at our highschool (Waterdown) in 1991 or 92. Too funny 74.56.250.216 06:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Finger Eleven explanation[edit]

That explanation where their name comes from is... well, at least it's flawed. Sounds like lame PR mumbo jumbo from a record label to me. Take a second, think about the male body and you'll instantly know which part the eleventh finger is. It's the same part of the body some people attribute "instinct" to. 88.65.104.47 19:48, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

put down the crack pipe. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.214.139.42 (talk) 23:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

When Finger Eleven finished their western Canadian tour in 2010, I flew next to Rick Jackett from Regina to Toronto. I was chatting with Rick and I mentioned their name’s implied meaning was not lost on my 14 year old son. He replied that many people think the name is about a male body part, but they are wrong. He said the name was about an extra sense, similar to a third eye or sixth sense.108.60.178.40 (talk) 05:45, 20 October 2017 (UTC)Mark Burton[reply]

MuchMusic?[edit]

Please dont put down music video chart positions on the singles part of this page. Them countdowns judges how many people download that video from Muchmusic, not the actual song, which is what the single's chart positions are for. Crocodileman 19:22, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

Does anyone think the genres in the infobox should be changed to alternative rock, dance punk??? This is definitely what their new album sounds more like. It's definitely not alt metal, or hard rock. Anyone agree? ╦ﺇ₥₥€Ԋ (talk) 23:35, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree they definitely do not fit the Metal Genre not even by te mainstream definitions. (Resiak) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Resiak (talk • contribs) 03:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

wow, this sucks[edit]

man, this sucks. coudnt stand reading it. no info whatsoever and rly boring to read. is this how canadian rock bands are treated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.210.52.115 (talk) 00:47, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tried putting more info but ppl keep erasing it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.230.80.214 (talk) 10:26, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What information where you trying to add? And if you want to make serious edits please create a wikipedia account. WebYoungProgrammer^{Msg me} 16:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

James Black redirection[edit]

I believe that James Black (guitarist) used to redirect to an Australian pop/rock guitarist, but that page seems to be lost. We might have a disambiguation issue on our hands...Thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Colinclarksmith (talk • contribs) 02:44, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Life Turns Electric[edit]

Will a more experienced user make and article for their new album? Thanks! 71.255.218.208 (talk) 01:38, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rainbow Butt Monkeys[edit]

Lmao at that part, but seriously this was a pretty boring article to read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.99.20.112 (talk) 20:32, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
