This Charming Man

This Charming Man was a different band. The only common member shared with The Gaslight Anthem is Brian Fallon. Every Little Secret was a This Charming Man release and should not be added back in to The Gaslight Anthem's discography. --Matt Gozel (talk) 02:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

no —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.48.47.5 (talk) 17:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I fully disagree, on the princable that it is clear that its Brains sound that influanced the gaslight and those who enjoy gaslight will also enjoy TCM. It basicly is the same. (With out taking anything away from GLAs other members but) There should at least be a link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.167.107.131 (talk) 17:12, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it should be listed in there discography but there definitely should be a very prominent link! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calvin-1990 (talk • contribs) 18:37, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Err Alex Levine and Benny Horowitz were in TCM. Mike Volpe left to go to college and was replaced by Alex Rosamilia. TCM evolved into TGA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.237.119 (talk) 20:46, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Streetlight Manifesto

Given the close proximity of both Streetlight Manifesto's and The Gaslight Anthem's hometown and the clear similarity in name, does anyone know of any formal or informal relationship between the bands? Slingstone (talk) 03:22, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

None at all. (talk) 015:37, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Flashlight Batman

This is in fact the band's nickname to hardcore followers, much like devout Reaplcements fans call them the 'Mats —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.176.212 (talk) 06:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

"Nicknames to hardcore followers" are irrelevant to an encyclopedia. We only care about alternate names used by the band themselves or by reliable sources. For example, T.S.O.L. as an abbreviation for "True Sounds of Liberty", The Bronx performing as "Mariachi el Bronx", etc. So-called "nicknames" are irrelevant and impossible to verify reliably. --IllaZilla (talk) 00:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

And nobody calls them that anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.253.59 (talk) 14:53, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

What Brian Fallon thinks of this entry.

From Twitter (briangaslight):

"Our wikipedia page is quite possibly the award winner for least accurate writing about us ever. 9:56 PM Jun 4th [2010] via web" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.145.68 (talk • contribs)

He is right, the lower portion is 99% what someone thinks of that band. No joke, some kid just sat down and listed bands he thought they sounded like and hit publish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.22.54.173 (talk) 01:13, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Touring Members

This section keeps being vandalised through the addition of made up members and/or the deletion of Ian Perkins, who is the only genuine touring member to date, as well as being the band's guitar tech/roadie. WoodyJoe (talk) 08:55, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Plagiarism

Has anyone compared "Old white Lincoln" to "Don't drag me down" by Social Distortion?? The characteristic bass-line is identical. The whole song sounds like a cover version. Has this ever been mentioned? After all they toured the year after the release with Social Distortion. --2.247.250.181 (talk) 13:35, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
