ought someone to mention that their music inspired the then-drummer of Napalm Death, Mick Harris, to name grindcore grindcore, after saying that it was like the gridnig noise of Swans, but faster? 80.0.121.5 ( talk) 20:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
More importantly, the article should mention any band that was influenced by Swans. The article says "highly influential" but then doesn't mention any of the influence they've had in music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.98.214.43 ( talk) 09:15, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Shate!!! Shate!! shate! 'Saved' is far not the only single SWANS has released. There are plenty of singles. For information a link can be given to [1]
I've had a go at a different split of the article into three main sections. I've removed the Burning World section, since it didn't seem to make sense to have a whole section devoted to just one album, especially when it's not one of their best. Comments welcomed. -- Richardrj 13:37, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
How might one add a note regarding the style of songwriting itself and its transformation from The Great Annihilator to Soundtracks for the Blind? I notice that the songs on the latter are more depressive and reserved, not unlike "Killing for Company" in the former but less percussive. Case in point "Empathy", "Animus", etc. How does one describe that in an article without ruining the flow?
Added this template {{Template:Swans (band)}} I created to the article. Comments welcome. Lugnuts 20:02, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I've worked/am working through the discog and I've added most of their albums. Would like help from anyone who would like to "pad out" the individual album entries, so to speak. Including full running times, cover art, any other trivia/notes, etc. Thanks! Lugnuts 10:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:Swans, 82.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Is it like Scorpions, in that it is just "Swans" and not "The Swans"? Cubs Fan 04:15, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
drone metal is fairly uncontroversial, but the grunge is likely to construct a kneejerk reaction. if you define grunge as the sound developed by early nirvana, early soundgarden and the melvins, it is quite obvious that swans had an incredible influence on the sound. cobain has cited 'raping a slave' as a primary influence. regardless of how this is eventually interpreted, the connection between no wave and grunge is very strong and should be acknowledged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.24.135 ( talk) 15:55, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello Bowling is life, I noticed that you made a change to this article, Swans (band), but in doing this change/undo, you seem to have violated several Wikipedia policies.
I’ve removed it for now, but if there was some other reason for doing this edit, if you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message here or on my talk page. Regards. – ░▒▓ №∶ 72.234.220.38 ( talk) 00:32, 17 June 2020 (UTC) ▓▒░
