The article states that "While on tour in the UK that fall, the band recorded several songs for BBC radio at legendary British DJ John Peel's recording studio. Their performance would be the last for Peel's program, as he died shortly afterwards.". However, according to the BBC itself, [1] their session was followed by sessions from Yourcodenameis:Milo and Skimmer. - Ashley Pomeroy 23:45, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Although it has taken me 20 years to get used to it, the correct grammar to describe a band would be 'Hot Snakes is' or 'Hot Snakes were', no matter whether the name of the band is plural or not, as a band is a singular object.
Though discussions still rage, the general consensus believe(s) (haha - sorry, couldn't resist it) that the above is correct. Like I said, I took me years to accept it, and accept that it sounded correct in my head, even though it doesn't sit right with most people, but there comes a time when you have to get used to it.
I'm not going to go around Wikipedia changing this for every page where band's names are plural, it's just Hot Snakes is pretty much my favourite band and I want their Wiki page to be perfect.
With regards to Rick's introduction on TDO, ('We're the Hot Snakes...') I feel Rick has artistic license to say whatever he wants. He probably said 'We're Hot Snakes' sometimes as well, though I don't have any evidence to back this up.
Apologies my actions nearly caused me to be reported for vandalism, just not an expert on this Wiki thing, you know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.4.85 ( talk) 15:33, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
