Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Monkey metal. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 12:43, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
