Untitled[edit]

Suggest removing the top half, or moving it below the band. Possible removal for non-notability.

I have commented out the demoscene section. It seems both non-notable and vanity. 82.6.10.139 08:17, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The nonrelated energy beverage should be on a disambiguation page, not on the band's page.

Agreed - since it was not sourced, I removed the one-sentence description of the drink. If it's an encyclopedic subject, it would require its own article. B.Wind 20:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the following sentence: "The second album is a hard rockin’ heavy metal collector’s favorite" because it was not an appropriate tone nor was it a sourced quote. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshmattson (talk • contribs) 16:11, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

Origin[edit]

Where did this band originate? 67.188.45.27 (talk) 18:36, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Later & Post[edit]

Needs to be combined or have one removed since they contain the same information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.34.43.192 (talk) 03:21, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

needs sources[edit]

"Later in life Bill Bartlett decided to leave Ram Jam and go onto a career in interpretive dance." This search (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22Bill+Bartlett%22+%22interpretive+dance%22&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz35) only resulted in a handful of hits containing copy/paste from this article. I don't know anything about this musician, but I could see how this could be vandalism. This should be removed until someone can verify the claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.153.5.230 (talk) 18:51, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Myke Scavone[edit]

Didn't this band have a member named Myke Scavone?

picture is incorrectly labeled[edit]

I believe the picture shown is a picture of Bill Bartlett, not Myke Scavone. And the picture here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myke_Scavone

is incorrect. Compare this interview of Myke Scavone:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E49dcTfAaZ8

with the person singing in the song "Black Betty" at exactly 2 minutes and 9 seconds, it's the same person.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_2D8Eo15wE

Myke Scavone did not play guitar in that song. It was Bill Bartlett (in the red and blue shirt) playing lead guitar and singing lead vocals.

In the start of the song, you can see Myke Scavone behind Bill Bartlett with the open shirt and white pants clapping his hands. nicolasfox (talk) 20:53, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
