editYou were right Greg; this appears to be at least a partial copyright violation from [1]. This could easily be edited out of recognition, though. I'll try now. -- Sam

This article has two repeated sections... I know one is copyright, but which? They are both very close. -- Greg Godwin

Kim Deal & Tanya Donelly also sang together on This Mortal Coil's cover of the Big Star song "You And Your Sister". Since together they are (more than?) half of the Breeders, I think it deserves mention here. 84.198.246.199 (talk) 02:32, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Musical style
editThere's no text, so to throw something out there for fodder, the Album "Last Splash" is mostly a blend of punk and rockabilly albeit with a slower tempo than those two genres would imply, and heavily amplified and distorted instrumentation employed for psychedilic effect.

Genre
editThe band has played quite a bit of lo-fi music in it's history on some of their first albums in the 90's, yet whoever runs this page is denying the fact that they did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faithfulfather4 (talk • contribs) 02:05, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Faithfulfather4: No one runs any pages around here and I'm not saying the genre(s) are wrong, I'm mearly saying that genre changes/additions require consensus, just driving up to an article and adding or changing genre's is considered disruptive, just as the first message I left on your talk page,
Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive.

Lead guitar
editAs evident from several videos and concert footing, Breeders Safari; Breeders live on MTV Kelley Deal often played a guitar with one string with The Breeders. It is technically true that rhytm guitar means playing several strings at atime; it is also technically true that with one string, you can only play lead (single notes at a time); finally, it may be hard to reach consensus to define that an instrument with just one string is no longer a guitar.
Still, the overall impression is that "lead guitar" implies a performance so very far removed from playing a one-stringed guitar, that it should be commented on. Perhaps simply that she plays the "guitar". --Sponsianus (talk) 17:41, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
Abandoned user draft
