Question: Kirk Hammett played on the latest K'Naan album and I wanted to add that to his profile, but I am not sure how to. Could someone please help me out?

Hey can anyone tell me how to add a photo gallery to a band's profile. I want to post pictures of Memoira, but they have no button that I can find to do so. I may just be overlooking something. Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure you need the right permissions for that. If you're an official photographer or if you're a member of the press then you can contact Ivan about adding promotional pictures.

The lineup that recorded the last Dol Ammad album is very different to the one in their profile. I can't find anything on their website about personell changes, so I don't know when the new people replaced the old people. Should I add the current members not already there as session for this (and maybe last) year? (And maybe move the other singers to session, too?) Or add them as members from this or last year and put the ones not on Cosmic Gods down as having departed in 2011?

We do have the N/A option for this reason. If a member is no longer in the band but you don't know when s/he left, simply edit their "to year" to N/A.

Thanks. I've put the new ones down as joining in NA as well.

What should we do if we spot duplicates? I added a music video for King Of Asgard a few days ago and while it was waiting to be checked someone else added the video and then mine got accepted, so now there's two.

Edit one of the videos, and go down to where it would say "Submit" and right beside it tehre should be a delete button, justmake sure to fill out a source for why you're deleting it.

Has there always been a delete button for everything?? Can't believe I've never noticed that.

But seriously, I already know what's the meaning of the "elite"... I just want to know if there's some conditions or anything.

We basically just look at some regular users who add a bit of personality to the site and we kind of give them a little extra "status" with the Elite tag. It's not to say that we don't find certain users to be "cool" or that we think certain users are "better" than others, it's just a way of us sort of promoting some regulars here. Kind of like giving a couple regulars at your pub their own table.

Got it. That's a cool feature, in my opinion

Is it normal to suggest a band and not have the genre appear when you don't know the country of origin?

Mendel, right? Seems weird. Hasn't happened to me (have always entered some country though). It might be a bug, or there might be some thing behind it I'm not aware of. In case no one answers anything wiser to you, about this case, then you could possibly write about it on the bugs thread.

Alright, thanks.

Everytime i type "ancient" into the thing for typing the band name to go to their page in (sorry, not sure what it's called) it sends me to a list of bands who's name includes "ancient" http://www.metalstorm.net/bands/index.php?b_where=b.bandname&b_what=ancient
Should this happen? (couldn't find an appropriate place to ask this in the Bugs forum)

It's probably due to there being 10 bands containing the word Ancient in their name.

Just my theory.

Still...Kroda is here, although ppl like Antifa consider it NS (still remember how they attacked their tour-van in the name of "holy" anti-ns fight) and its because of the personal statements by Eisenslav...Khors is here, although 2 members of Nokturnal Mortum are involved on their last release and their drummer tried to play in NM, just was not accepted...and thats what just quickly comes up my mind now...so i really wonder how exactly you make your rules for accept/disallow...where is the border?

My understanding is that there should be clearly something in the lyrics.

then please someone show me lyrics by Nocturnal Mortum (or Rob Darken's Graveland), that are inappropriate...i dont say there arent any, i am not a real expert in their lyrics, but afaik those bands are hated just for political views of members, not for lyrics (unlike Temnozor, that has some controversial lines even in lyrics and song titles)

I was looking for the Devin Townsend + Fear Factory tour this fall, to add me to the list for the Helsinki gig. Then I realized, there was a huge amount of dates missing. So what I'm asking is how can I add the missing dates, or who to contact to get them there? I could of course add them all as single events, but then they wouldn't be a part of the tour on this site right?
