I've noticed on my copies of Visage and The Anvil that Barry Adamson is never ever credited alongside the rest of Visage as a band member, rather as a guest musician who contributes bass to certain tracks. He also has no writing credits on any Visage compositions (except the b-side Frequency 7). Was Adamson ever a true member of Visage and should he still remain on the "members" listing on the Visage wiki page? 58.7.158.191 ( talk) 10:15, 4 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Yes you're right, Adamson was only a session musician and not a member of the band. I've removed him from the members list. 79.66.27.155 ( talk) 01:29, 17 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Although I agree with these observations, there's too much official literature out there (including album liner notes and even the band's official MySpace page) that claims Adamson as a member of the band. I've re-included him as a member, but only for the first album, as he definitely was just a session musician by the time The Anvil was recorded. Outrune ( talk) 15:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC) reply

i cant distinguish midge ure on any videos from visage .. was he ever in one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.142.227.165 ( talk) 18:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC) reply

No but he directed a couple of them (Visage and Damned Don't Cry). The band was a part-time project for most of its members, who were happy to let Steve Strange be the frontman who did all the press, covers, and media appearances. Midge Ure was much busier with Ultravox at the time. 90.214.152.38 ( talk) 21:35, 29 July 2015 (UTC) reply

The Visage project, as far as I know can't be considered a band mainly because its musicians never had any intention of perform the songs they wrote with Steve Strange live, which means they never had intentions or do any kind of touring. I tried to reflect that fact as I write about them as an ensemble and not a band. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Enigmaticland ( talk • contribs) 01:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC). reply

The term band used to mean a group of musicians who play primarily for marching or open-air performances, but I dont think the definition is restricted to that anymore. If that were the case, there are lots of groups that wouldn't technically be classified as a "band". These days the term "band" would just generally refer to a group of musicians, regardless of style, size, or the purpose for which they play. Visage were essentially a "studio band" although they did actually tour a little for Beat Boy didn't they? Personally I've always refered to them as a "pop group" but it all means the same thing really. 79.66.115.119 ( talk) 22:52, 9 February 2008 (UTC) reply

Image:Visage logo.png 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.

Isn't this a misuse of Wikipedia to have this be the common link for this word? Absolutely absurd... This is living proof that any primate can drive a car... Stevenmitchell ( talk) 15:24, 28 April 2013 (UTC) reply

There are so few sources of information cited throughout this article on Visage (only 12 footnote refs in total) that it does not deserve to be published. How can we trust its claims when relations between members of this band in all its incarnations were so evidently tense? 217.155.200.241 ( talk) 01:49, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
