trivia sources

the trivia of tim has been taken frrom IMDB and GOOGLE.

The information about Tim's youth is not vandalism. It is from personal experience growing up with Tim Commerford at Turtle Rock Elementary School, Rancho San Joaquin Junior High School, and University High School and living down the street from him.

frame of reference for quote

The quote should have a frame of reference

bass descriptions

Put some variety in the bass descriptions, sheesh.

Twin-necked bass

A double-necked Fender Jazz bass? Hmm, sounds interesting. Somebody should find a picture! - Ndrly 22:55, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

EDIT - Who ever put that is only partially correct, he does own a one of a kind twin necked bass made in the Fender Custom Shop, and I believe that there is a picture of it in the newest Audioslave CD. But whoever put it has 51' P-Bass necks is a dumbass, 51' P-Bass headstocks are small, and do not look like the modern fender bass necks. More than likely they meant 57' P-Bass necks as this was when the current headstock came into production. ALSO - Tim basses usually have maple fretboards, not rosewood, although he does own a black j-bass with a left-handed p-bass neck w/rosewood. ALSO - The person who wrote most of Tim's Bass descriptions doesn't know the difference between a fret and an inlay, and not all of Tim's basses were re-fitted with P-Bass necks. - RedHotRageSlave 17:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I deleted the comment about the Rickenbacker Bass neck. It said "the color and type of neck on this bass is unknown..". Rickenbackers don't have bolt-on necks, i.e. the bass he used would have to have a stock Rickenbacker neck.

Also: this article needs a lot of grammatical clean-up. - User: Bm5481

2010 and 2011 basses

I'm not sure the article lists the basses he was playing during the 2010 and 2011 legs of the Rage Against The Machine reunion tour. In 2010, he had a red and a grey Lakland, respectively for Standard Tuning and drop D, and then, in 2011, for L.A. Rising, he only had two identical exemplaries of this one. Perhaps someone could identify precisely these basses and put these on the list. Darkcook —Preceding undated comment added 07:47, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Vegan?

Is Tim a vegan? I've never heard anything of it, but this suggests he is. ~Switch ^{t c g} 10:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Tim has been a vegan since he was a teenager. He was inspired by Zack to become a vegetarian when he met him at age 16, and then later a vegan.

He is not, he stated on the Lance Armstrong podcast (The Forward, episode 5) that he eats ham and cheese sandwiches. Also I have never seen any statements considering animal rights from him, just third rate sources putting him on lists of people who are supposedly vegan. I removed it from the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeriodDrama (talk • contribs) 08:10, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Rewrite

I've tagged the Career section for a complete rewrite, because at the moment the only time he is specifically mentioned in the section about RATM and Audioslave is a vague reference to the incident at the 2000 VMA's, which should be expanded to explain what the incident actually was. --Richmeister_talk 19:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Tattoos

Why is there a paragraph devoted to Commerford's tattoos in the lead, of all places? I'm going to move that paragraph to the section on his personal life. Huntthetroll (talk) 03:33, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I would like to point out that that is NOT a Maori tattoo and that Maori tattoos are called Ta moko.

Facebook

I often see Facebook pages in living people's external links and https://www.facebook.com/TimCommerfordOfficial was started in March of this year. It doesn't seem like a roleplaying fan, so I'm suggesting it be added if there are no objections. Gopherbassist (talk) 19:27, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Tim Commerford/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I worked on this article as it was in poor shape both factually, and grammatically. The previous editions of this article had very little variety in the sections for "Rage Against the Machine Basses" and "Audioslave Basses". I gave a more comprehensive list of his setup, and made a new "equipment" section in the article. I fulfilled some of the questions and/or requests made by other users in the discussion tab. This articles still needs sources to be cited. RedHotRageSlave 22:42, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
