Talk:Les Rallizes Dénudés

Band Name

As I understand it, and its in Japrocksampler(can't give a page ref as I dont have the book to hand), the name is a pun on Les Valises Denudes, which translates as Empty Suitcases, which Cope claims was an insult used by the (French-Obsessed) Japanese radical left.

• oh my gosh, the "references" thing makes me want to add {{cn}} all over the page...76.102.227.227 (talk) 14:16, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

this page has a lot of strange information on this band. i'm not so sure about the current descriptor of the band name...the Les Valises makes a lot more sense —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.237.167.16 (talk) 03:21, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes it’s nonsense. Both dénudés (obviously) and hadaka mean nude, not “striped”. —88.215.113.205 (talk) 16:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Dénudés doesn't precisely mean "nude" (that would be nus). It means "denuded" or "stripped," and could be used of something like a suitcase, though applications to people stripped of clothing are more common. Hadaka does mean nude.202.94.132.19 (talk) 13:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

The meaning of their name in Japanese is "Fucked Up and Naked". That is where the name of the compilation comes from. 裸 means 'naked'. ラリーズ is Japanese slang derived from the verb ラリる meaning to "be high on drugs". As for the French name. It is basically a translation. However I own a book about Keiji Haino which also contains a lengthy section about Haino's contemporaries; one of them being Les rallizes dénudés. The French etymology is basically explained as a translation of what I just typed but it also mentions some literary context of the words although I'm inclined to think that is merely fanfiction.StillHighFromYesterday (talk) 09:34, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Issues with the page

Can someone expand on the purported issues with this page? I could start helping with addressing them, but the article does not seem that bad to me. The sources seem okay and the article itself seems to present a good summary of the band's history. Aa24577 (talk) 03:52, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Citations & original research

I think this article has evolved to the point where there aren't any significant issues. I'd advise removing them but I'm not nearly good enough at using Wikipedia to do it myself or anything. Punkser (talk) 16:41, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

bit the bullet and got rid of both of the little issue alert things because i think both have been resolved. i *believe* any cited original research is now gone. regardless, discussion seems pretty dormant right now so i think these two can go :) i'm very eager to fix any other issues if anyone has any Punkser (talk) 06:27, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
