Improvements needed to this page
editI have placed a {{ref improve}} maintenance tag to this page and would like to see some improvements to this page.
Firstly this page needs a History section that outlines, in brief, the member ship changes and reasons why they changed Like in pages for Anthrax or AC/DC. It is important that this section is fully cited and takes into account every membership change. The members, Line-ups and timeline section will need to mirror this section so that the page is fully cited.
A definitive timeline will need to be produced.

Above is the timeline before I deleted it. For starters it is too small and does not affectively illustrate the almost 50 years of band history. It also has inconsistency's with the rest of the page, which are:
- Who is Dave Currier, he is not mentioned any where else on the page.
- Ton Scholz backing vocals only start mid way through, this is in contradiction to the line-ups section and live videos of the time.[1]
- Jeff Neal has 3 tenures when the members section says he has had one interrupted tenure.
- Curly Smith replacing Jeff Neal, this is again in contradiction to the members section.
- The band hasn't toured since 2017.[2] Apart form some shows in 2022,[3] which featured an unknown bassist.[4]
The membership information section is, OK. But it will need to be cited and maybe have some more in-depth information on members that don't already have pages on themselves. This article also has inconsistency's to the main articles members section.
In conclusion, I want this page to be good but as some of my edits have been reverted and I don't have enough knowledge on the topic to make edits my self. I hope someone can use these guidelines to fix this article. Mewhen123 (talk) 13:04, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
