Talk:Bobby Rondinelli/Archives/2015

Correction regarding Bobby Rondinelli and Kiss.

You had stated that (Quote): "He (Bobby Rondinelli) missed out on replacing Peter Criss in 1981 to Eric Carr because as Carr put it, his vocals were better than Rondinelli." Actually, even though by Rondinelli's own admission that he couldn't sing, he opted to join Rainbow before Kiss even made a final decision as to whom Peter Criss's replacement would be (which can be found on pg.87 from the book, "Rainbow Rising: The Story of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" by Roy Davies. Also, as a side note, Rondinelli's recording debut with Rainbow, "Difficult To Cure" was released on January 19, 1981, whereas Carr's recording debut with Kiss, "Music From The Elder" was released on November 16, 1981. Ten months apart. And back then, between 1974 and 1985 Kiss released at least one studio album per year.

Quiet Riot

Yes, Bobby Rondinelli PLAYED ON parts of the Quiet Riot album Terrified, but I'm not sure if he was ever officially a member of Quiet Riot. Gringo300 (talk) 13:18, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Current band

Can someone please inform me as to who to contact to update the band and bio for him?? i tried and it didn't take, too promotional for what i have for him, he is not currently playing with the band mentioned, and he wants that changed, can someone please help me, i've been at this all morning and have a headache from it.--Maryhass (talk) 14:16, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

It looks like you succeeded in changing the last line of the Background section to show that he is playing with Leslie West, though this person/band is not listed in the Infobox (the gray box near the top right of the article), where it should also be.

More importantly, we need a reliable, independent, third-party source for this info. Just a blurb in well-known source (like Rolling Stone) that says something like "Bobby is now playing with Leslie West" would be sufficient.

The article really needs some re-writing and organization. Having almost the whole thing under the "Background" section is obviously wrong. Some of the detail about exactly which drums are used is unnecessary and, near the end, looks like just a string of strangely-formatted gibberish. Anyone from the Bio or Musician projects want to help? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 18:53, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, however, even though it shows as a successful change here, someone, i don't know who or how, has this on facebook and the change is not reflected there, i don't understand why that could be? i'm new to all this, that was the only change i made to it, as the bio he wants wouldn't go in and was not non biased, it states his history the way he likes it, the rest of the stuff i left alone from whomever did it as i didn't want to mess something up. also, how do i get the change to be relfected on the fb page, that shows that from wikipedia, there is no contact information on that either. even when i tried edit, the only thing you can edit when i'm on the fb site, is the category, i didn't create the page, it does not show email, all shows it leads back to wikipedia. maybe someone can contact me, and help me write in the way he wants without it being biased?? i have the text. i work for him, and i know how he wants it. guess for here it needs to be worded differently or something.--Maryhass (talk) 21:34, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

oh, i forgot, the only reliable source i have for this, was from him and the tour poster i made, umm....i don't know of a site to reference it too, other than?? ticket sales?? but the show is over.--Maryhass (talk) 21:35, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay, so, it's been suggested, to ask for the changes and show what they are, however, there are so many who made changes to this in the history tab, i'll be old and grey by the time i can hit the talk page on each one, so, i hope it's okay to do this here or maybe someone can guide me?

Now, it's been said, this is not non biased, and the word awesome triggered a message i received and couldn't do the changes, so, i'm hoping someone from the bio or musician projects will offer me some help and guidance here??

here is what i have on my text for him, we can change what shows to be non biased (it was also noted, it's very much like you're selling something) we can change whatever on that as well.

Bobby does not have a website, he's just on a social networking site, not sure how to link something like that, his fb page??, i'll include the link to the fanpage i was asked to create as he is filled quota on friend requests, and it's best to have it directed here. https://www.facebook.com/BobbyRondinelliFanPage

It was further suggested, i don't do the editing myself

Can someone please help me out here? I can reword what needs to be reworded, send it to him, for approval, give it another shot and keep trying, i work for him and he'd like the changes to reflect what he would like. Thank you very kind.

here is the link that is not showing the updated change on the band, how do i get this into action once the changes are made? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bobby-Rondinelli/112061575476784?ref=ts&fref=ts#

So, is he currently considered part of Leslie West's "group" (if that exists), or was this just a three-night stand? If the latter is true (which I'm guessing), it doesn't seem right to say he's "Currently with Leslie West", does it? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 00:01, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Alan, the least i can say, is they are still planning shows together, so, yes, he is currently with Leslie West.--Maryhass (talk) 11:51, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
