-The Advantage was founded before the Minibosses according to all music.

Not to mention they're much better at their instruments.

note: the advantage was not formed before the minibosses. there was a band called 'generic' that consisted of spencer, the drummer of the advantage/guitarist of hella, and at its earliest only shared one other member from said band. he has since left the band. "Nick Rogers and Forrest Harding are the two original members that started the band, and Cassie Stewart was featured on bass for awhile as well. At the time the band was called Generic." should be removed altogether. -shawn phase

-Still hardly a Minibosses clone though. That would imply The Advantage heard the Minibosses and wanted to be like them, there are quite a bit of video game cover bands as of recently, that may have done just that, but reading the allmusic pages on both The Advantage and The Minibosses would imply at the very least neither band influnenced the other and they started at about the same time. The way they each handle the covers are also far different.

-Added a little about the history of the band. When I spoke with spencer seim, the story as he told it was that he was in high school and heard about "some dudes" doing nintendo covers, so he asked them if he could play drums, and they accepted him. I am assuming that the people he meant were Rogers and Harding. I don't know Spencer's age, but I am pretty sure that if we look at the time line, Generic predates the Minibosses, and when I asked him about it, he definitely didn't mention any other bands as being influences, he just said "it kind of sucks, because we were doing it first." If someone wants to edit that paragraph with the the info in a way that is structured better, go ahead. --Iggy The Reaper 22:49, 13 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I just modified the "nintendo" into "famicom" since it would mean that they make only musics of metroid, kirby, mario etc, "nintendo games" and not "the games from the nintendo entertainement system" because megaman is from capcom, castlevania is from konami etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.241.196.60 (talk) 11:39, 21 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Named for the controller?

2004 Tour CDs

edit

The article has two different CDs listed as being self released in 2004

2004 West Coast Tour CD (February, 2004) Self Released
2004 US Tour CD (October, 2004) Self Released

As far as I can tell, these are the same thing. Does anyone know what if any difference there is in the West Cost Tour CD? I'm not going to condense the list down but I might have to put an ugly citation needed tag on the West Coast Tour CD because I can't find anyone who has heard of it.

For the record, the 2004 US Tour CD I have is 6 tracks with each track being performed by only one member. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.208.184.214 (talk) 14:45, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 29 December 2017

edit
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

No consensus to move at this time. For those in support of moving this page, I would recommend finding other notable uses of the exact term. I would be surprised if there was not a film or periodical or even another band by this name. See, e.g., this and this. bd2412 T 18:01, 7 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

The AdvantageThe Advantage (band) – "The Advantage" is a common term, which should not be tied to one musical group. It could refer to many of the entries at Advantage (disambiguation), which is where the current title should redirect. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:59, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

This IP has repeatedly removed the word "nintendocore" from the page several times, and I'm unsure whether this is simple genre-warring vandalism or an actual content dispute. The first edit had a summary of "Deleted information that was simply wrong". I pointed out that the band is highlighted as a representative Nintendo rock group on the nintendocore page and added sources. IP, do you have an argument to make here?

It's sourced, so it should stay until the IP editor (or anyone else) gains consensus to remove it. Woodroar (talk) 22:40, 19 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
