Does anyone have a picture of the band they could upload from their reunion tour? It's a little silly that the only picture on there is of Nicole. -- Kaiserwil ( talk) 04:15, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
Could someone provide more information about Gordon's leaving the band?
Does anyone remember a sampled take-off of the David Crosby song "Triad", using the music from 4 Way Street album by Crosby, Stills & Nash (and Young), with two women and a guy arguing about a mutual affair and whether or not to break up, stay together, or release a song about the affair and/or breakup? The parody used the first names of Dave Grohl, Nina Gordon, and Louise Post in the lyrics / voiceover. I remember it was really funny, and it played on Atlanta's 99x and some other alternative radio stations in early 1998. If I could figure out the song's origin I'd mention it in the article here on the band. It seemed to really sum up the feelings at the time towards Veruca Salt, Dave Grohl, and the entire post-grunge Nirvana idolizing and bashing that was popular in the alternative music scene, and if you know the history of the song "Triad" and how CSNY argued over whether or not to release it, you'll see more than one connection to the tensions in Veruca Salt. This may seem like an obscure connection, but it was illuminating to people at the time, especially people into various political causes who by then were tiring of grunge acts and their interest in causes increasingly just to help sell CDs. This is also relavent to the breakup and reformation of Veruca Salt, as while so many people think that Dave's affair with both Nina and Louise was the main factor, there were so many other issues, more related to the profitability of the band than the affair, that drove both the hype about the affair and the temporary breakup. --- Arthur
Dave and Nina didn't have an affair. The affair that took place, and partially caused the break up, was between Louise and Nina's boyfriend at the time; Blake Smith (ex-fig dish and currently in Caviar). 86.143.60.110 19:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
More like definitely causing the break up. I like Nina and the new VS equally but i'm sick of hearing people say "Nina left Louise", well yeah, she did leave louise ... because louise was fucking Nina's boyfriend. I would have left too haha 193.61.130.23 10:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
To the person above- where did you hear this? Blackmorningsun
Their allmusic page calls them "one of the most harshly criticized bands of the post-Nirvana alternative rock era." I'd like to know more about that. There needs to be some solid info about this in the article. 70.130.186.251 19:28, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I wish I still had the article where I read this, but I once read that it was because of the poppiness of their sound. Blackmorningsun
I don't understand... I added that Nina Gordon penned both hit singles that the band generated, and it was removed? She did write them... so why on earth was this information removed? The removal of this is clear bias. Yes, Nina isn't a member of the band anymore, but she obviously played a huge part of how successful they were in the past.
veruca salt's chart positions and label situations also aren't discussed and therefore it's a vague, biased article too focused on their australian success.
A lot of information needs to be added in order for this to be an accurate look at a complicated band history, rather than fans or friends of the band trying to snuff out the facts that band was built upon.
Most of the above comments are down to a simple, but vital, omission in the whole article - References ! Solve that problem and hyperbole, speculation, hear'say etc., flies out of the window.

Seether was the only single to appear in the Triple J top 100 - position 6 in 1994.
All references in the chart related to Triple J top 100 are incorrect. JD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.47.108 ( talk) 06:16, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for this term. Last month, it received 17,836 views to 128 for
Veruca Salt (character). I thought that seemed rather low, and it turns out the latter is just a redirect to a section of
List of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory characters. The recent
RM of Larry the Lobster affirmed that standalone articles should usually have primacy over sections or list items. And per
WP:TWODABS, it would be preferable to disambiguate these two with a hatnote. It also occurred to me that the March announcement of Veruca Salt's reunion could skew pageviews, but that doesn't seem to have had a large impact. February counts are 14,342 and 105.
