As far as I recall, Aidan Girt was not a member of the Trapt, but he was associated with the members. I believe he was in a different group at that time, God's Gift or something similar to that. -anonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.237.78 (talk) 02:38, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
In the Progressive Rock page, there's a mention of whether the band should be considered Progressive Rock. Seeing as it includes many of the same conventions, should it be? -Anonymous

Are we sure this is correct? I thought that their vinyl releases were on Constellation and their CDs on Kranky (I'm pretty sure this is the case with f# and Slow Riot at least). --Camembert
Buraku Empororu — this romanization turns up quite a few hits on Google but it is bogus. The original documentary title was "ゴッド・スピード・ユー! BLACK EMPEROR," which could be romanized as "God Speed You! Black Emperor." A romanization that reflected the Japanese pronunciation would be "Goddo Supīdo Yū! Burakku Emperā."--Tokek 00:04, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Were they? (or were? they) -- I thought that moving the ! to the very end was something that the fans did unofficially. When/why would they change their band name (or rather punctuation), if they ever did? --69.214.227.51 06:32, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
well, if you really want to be technical, there should be no capitalization. godspeed you black emperor! now godspeed you! black emperor ...
Is it really fair to call all of those bands side projects? Some of these bands may share members with Godspeed, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're second-bannanas. I think that a better term would be "Related Projects" or "Related Bands." I'm going to change it unless anyone has any problems with it.Timothyreal 20:19, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
I added the usage of East Hastings in two movie trailers, which incidentally are used one after the other in the previews for The Bourne Ultimatum, which is where I noticed. It was funny, I noticed the use of GYBE in Death Sentence, and thought it was cool, and then a minute later the same exact song, and part of the song, in Beowulf. Anyways, if anyone could source it that would be great, otherwise feel free to remove it, I just thought it was an interesting tidbit. Aldrenean 19:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

The title of this album is listed with both letters capitalized at cstrecords.com and at AMG. What is the source for spelling it with lowercase 'a' and 'f'? --G0zer 03:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
I've got the vinyl release here right in front of of me and there are no capital letters at all. 194.97.112.69 21:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC) (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Klotzambein)
This article makes no reference to the political views Godspeed You! Black Emperor addresses in various songs. —User:Christopher Mann McKay 20:41, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't somebody include that Sad Mafioso was used in 28 Days Later? A lot of people got into them because of that. It would also give a chance to clear up wild rumors some people have like GY!BE having anything to do with 28 Weeks Later.
A further question about GSY!BE's music being used in film etc. - they seem pretty integrity-focused based on what little I know about them, and they at least have connections to anarchism, etc. That said, allowing their music to be used in a number of films/stuff seems a little odd. Has the band released any statements or given any justifications for this? I think that would definitely be worth including, given that, the way it is now, it kind of makes them look like sellouts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.151.34.13 (talk) 23:14, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
I just checked to see if East Hastings had been used in the trailers for Beowulf and Death Sentence, and they haven't been. In The House - In A Heartbeat by John Howard has been used. Do these trailers with East Hastings actually exist? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.133.53.235 (talk • contribs) 15:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC).
So shall I remove the reference to East Hastings being used in the trailers for Beowulf and Death Sentence? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.133.53.235 (talk • contribs).
Since the band is no longer together, shouldn't something be done about the "former members" part? Technically, they're all "former" members of this band now. What should be done? Jkdeadite (talk) 20:11, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm removing Tiny Silver Hammers from the list of releases. It most certainly was never released, even if it is in common circulation on the web. It shouldn't be on the list of releases.Jkdeadite (talk) 22:58, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
according to this [1] "Tiny Silver Hammers" is earler title of the track "Motherfucker=Redeemer"
The article states that Efrim says the band is "hugely unlikely to ever return to record-releasing or touring ways", however there is no direct confirmation of disbandment. This should be clearly noted in the Wikipedia article and the "years active" entry should be changed back to including "currently on indefinite hiatus" until further confirmation is given. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.102.84.28 (talk) 02:53, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
A little pedantic I know, but the interview was published on the 8th Feb, not 9th :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.195.150 (talk) 13:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
If I may, Pitchfork announced this morning that this "disbandment" is not permanent:
When contacted by Pitchfork, Menuck gave the following statement via Silver Mt. Zion's publicist:
"The Drowned in Sound thing is a misquote, I'm in the middle of dealing with it now. It's true, Godspeed hasn't existed for years, we've been on permanent hiatus since 2002. If and when we do call it quits permanently, it won't be because of the Iraq war."
Should Efrim be credited in the band member section with doing vocals? He sings a section of the guitar melody in East Hastings (just after 8:30 on the CD version) and I think that is worthy of a mention in the band member section. What are peoples thoughts on this? If no-one has any objections I will add "Vocals" to Efrims name in the band member section. Vicissitudo (talk) 13:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
There's more than 1 person singing there, I'm pretty sure. Also, in Sleep around minute 14-15, there's some very quiet humming. But you'll never figure out who it is. So I would just leave it as it is: not crediting anyone for the vocals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crappo (talk • contribs) 21:05, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Also, although not confirmed, it has been said that Efrim sings on their long-lost demo cassette All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling.
Moya provided most of the band's vocal input up until his depature, then an early recording of him was used at the start of 'Antennas to Heaven'. So I kind of agree that crediting Efrim as being Godspeed's main source of vocals seems wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.195.150 (talk) 12:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

To hopefully generate some discussion about the possible renaming of the current ASMZ article, there are a couple of sections on it's talk page to try to generate a consensus. Lugnuts (talk) 18:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
It seems this was a topic of conversation a year ago, but I want to bring it up again. It's silly to call some of them former members, especially Roger, who according to the article, left the band after they "went on hiatus" (broke up). What does it mean to leave a band that doesn't exist? They all "left the band" when they stopped playing music together, touring, and recording. I think it's silly for a major member to not be included in the template just because he doesn't speak in the same vague language as Efrim. Efrim and Roger both left the band to be in other bands. We shouldn't let this article be run by the band's goofy ephemeral interview-speak. Conical Johnson (talk) 02:35, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
I question the purpose of this section entirely. From my experience these sort of sections become crammed with tons of trivial items that just pile up and become un-purposeful. Honestly, how useful is Contributed music to Jem Cohen's Chain.? This becomes even more apparent over time, and the original submissions lose necessity entirely. I propose removal of this section completely.----–m.f (t • c) 20:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Cruft from main article[edit]The band contributed the song "East Hastings" from their first album F♯ A♯ ∞ to the UK film 28 Days Later, though the song was heavily edited; this was an unusual step for the ensemble. However, the track is excluded from the CD soundtrack. In 2005, the band allowed songs from Yanqui U.X.O. to be used in the documentary film Bombhunters, stating that while they didn't normally allow their music to be used in films, they could align with the social nature of the film. A segment of the track "Providence" was used to promote the BBC drama series Superstorm, which aired in April 2007. The horror-movie documentary The American Nightmare used the song "Moya" from Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanada and "Providence" from F♯ A♯ ∞ as incidental music and over the closing credits. The band is also referenced in the movie Pineapple Express when protagonist Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) says to his girlfriend Angie (Amber Heard) "You are gonna go to college next year. You'll get into Godspeed You! Black Emperor and the fucking Shins, and you'll blow a bunch of dudes and become a lesbian." Screenwriter Evan Goldberg has said that this reference was because "Jay Baruchel is from Montreal and loves Godspeed, so we did it to poke at Jay. But I like Godspeed, Godspeed's good."[1] A segment of the track "9-15-00" is used in Top Gear, during a review of the Tesla Roadster. The BBC did not clear this usage and Top Gear's producers subsequently apologized. A shortened segment of "9-15-00" is used in a scene of the film Adoration during which Simon (Devon Bostick) describes various acts of terrorism. Excerpts of Rockets Fall On Rocket Falls and "East Hastings" were also used throughout the BBC documentary The Secret Life of the Berlin Wall. The band also contributed music to Jem Cohen's Chain. On the Spanish internet series "Malviviendo", episode 8-No Girls, the storyteller and main character describes an album of Godspeed You! Black Emperor as "2 hours of music in only 4 tracks". Parts of "Gathering Storm" were used in the Australia scene from skateboard company Cliché's film Bon Appetit. |

Should it be noted somewhere that the record "'Allelujah! Don't Bend Ascend" is credited to "God's Pee"? In fact, on the cd version I own there is no mention of "Godspeed You!Black Emperor" (or wherever you want to place the exclamation mark) 217.103.1.27 (talk) 14:50, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
Thanks to an AfD that next to nobody saw until it was too late, the article for the band's very much notable and significant debut album appears to now redirect to this article. Considering that this record very much seemed to justify having its own article, and that it existed quite uncontroversially as an article with a very much justified existence for twelve years before this sudden small vote, may I propose that its article is restored?
I do feel as if two users doubting the existence of this record without really anybody to disagree isn't the fairest discussion to justify this removal... let's see if there's any consensus on this issue either way. Moonwater21 (talk) 02:01, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
I see an error on the timeline graphic, where all releases are attached to lines coming from the bottom left corner. Is this visible to others? If so I don't have enough experience to fix this in the code. Thanks, Friendlyguy420 (talk) 15:25, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
