== Europe Release Date? ==
'''Mark Lanegan''' (born [[November 25]], [[1964 in music|1964]] in [[Ellensburg, Washington|Ellensburg]], [[Washington]]) is a singer and songwriter. He has had a noteworthy career as a solo artist, but is best known for his tenure as the lead singer of [[Screaming Trees]], a band that was part of the [[Seattle]] [[grunge]] phenomenon of the [[1990s]].
 
At [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/data/198537.html this game's GameFAQs data], I can't find any info on a European release for this game, yet a European release date is listed. What is the source of this? [[User:Y0u|Y0u]] [[User talk:Y0u|(Y0ur talk page)]] [[Special:Contributions/Y0u|(Y0ur contributions)]] 14:08, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
== Musical career ==
Screaming Trees put out their first album, [[Clairvoyance (album)|Clairvoyance]] in [[1986 in music|1986]] and recorded 9 albums and [[extended play|EPs]] of original material between 1986 and [[1996 in music|1996]]. The band was among the pioneers of Seattle's [[grunge]] music phenomenon, but never achieved the fame or commercial success of other Seattle grunge acts such as [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]], [[Pearl Jam]], or [[Soundgarden]]. Lanegan's solo career began while he was still working with Screaming Trees, but has continued beyond the band's dissolution in 1997.
 
The game was released in one area in Europe, while left unreleased everywhere else. While this, is a bit late, I believe it may or been Germany that released the game. I'm unsure at this time if it was Germany or some other place. But I believe Europe, only in one area, did get this game. [[User:Mendinso|Mendinso]]
In [[1990 in music|1990]], Lanegan released his first solo album, ''[[The Winding Sheet]]'', on the legendary [[Record label|label]] [[Sub Pop]], which also hosted Nirvana and many others. Nirvana's frontman [[Kurt Cobain]] was a notable guest artist on this album, appearing on the tracks "Down in the Dark" and "[[Where Did You Sleep Last Night]]?" as a backing vocalist and guitar player, respectively. Nirvana's bass player [[Krist Novoselic]] played bass on the latter track (a [[Leadbelly]] cover, Nirvana's version would later appear on their ''[[MTV Unplugged in New York|Unplugged]]'' album). ''The Winding Sheet'' was a modest commercial success, and Lanegan has recorded five more full-length albums since then.
 
== Blue Image Inaccuracy ==
The second record, 1993's Whiskey For The Holy Ghost, was a more consistent recording.
 
The image used for Blue in the character section is actually of the Mystic Lord Orlouge of Fascinaturu. A change should be made.
In 1995 Lanegan appeared on Above, an album by the "[[grunge]] [[supergroup]]" [[Mad Season]]. The group was formed in late 1994 by [[Layne Staley]] of [[Alice In Chains]], [[Mike McCready]] of [[Pearl Jam]], [[Barrett Martin]] of [[Screaming Trees]] and [[John Baker Saunders]] of [[The Walkabouts]]. Lanegan appeared on "Long Gone Day" and "I'm Above".
 
== Re: Blue Image Inaccuracy ==
Lanegan then returned to his day job with [[Screaming Trees]]. 1996 brought the release of Dust, their most consistently inspired collection of songs. The record also featured Mike McCready of Pearl Jam.
 
You're right. A quick Google search didn't turn up much beyond the shot of him on the game packaging. I can try to get around to scanning the image from the art book that came with my SaGa Frontier Soundtrack set, but that may take awhile. I'll also see about adding to this page within the next few months.
1998 brought Scraps At Midnight. Recorded in [[Joshua Tree]].
 
== Redirection ==
The fourth of his solo recordings was 1999's ''I'll Take Care of You'', on which Lanegan [[Cover version|covers]] songs by prominent folk and [[R&B]] artists such as [[Tim Hardin]] and [[Booker T. and the MGs]], as well as country icon [[Buck Owens]].
 
The alkaiser's link, on this page redirects to itself, in a loop.
In 2000, Lanegan appeared on Rated R, the second album from the [[musical collective]] known as [[Queens of the Stone Age]] (QOTSA).
 
== Get the image right ==
2001 saw the release of his fourth album proper, Field Songs. This album had a more lowkey feel than its predecessors, but at the same time featuring the phenomenal No Easy Action (which wouldn't be out of place on a "Music To Have Western Style Gun Fights To" compilation). The album also featured friend [[Duff McKagen]].
 
The image of Blue is actually Orlouge, a totally different character. They look nothing alike, so I don't know how they could be confused. Someone fix it.
Lanegan appeared on the 2002 release from QOTSA entitled [[Songs for the Deaf]]. He also toured in support for that album.
 
== Currently doing an overhaul. ==
2003 saw him appear on [[Greg Dulli]]'s latest [[The Twilight Singers]] record "Blackberry Belle".
 
Me and some helpers are doing a complete overhaul of the SaGa Frontier Wiki. We're adding everything we can, including info from the Essence of SaGa Frontier (if you're wondering why some of the info doesn't appear in the game, it's probably from Essence) if the page looks drastically different one moment to the next, don't worry, we're not hijacking anything. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Notorious MOG|Notorious MOG]] ([[User talk:Notorious MOG|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Notorious MOG|contribs]]) 18:10, 16 November 2006.</small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
On his latest solo album, ''Bubblegum'' ([[2004 in music|2004]]), Lanegan was joined by a cadre of prominent artists, including [[P. J. Harvey]], [[Josh Homme]] and [[Nick Oliveri]] of [[Queens of the Stone Age]], [[Greg Dulli]] of [[The Afghan Whigs]] and [[Twilight Singers]], and [[Duff McKagan]] and [[Izzy Stradlin]], previously of [[Guns N' Roses]]. Also appearing on ''Bubblegum'' is Lanegan's ex-wife, Wendy Rae Fowler.
:You could try and use the preview function to cute down the number of edits, though. I won't change anything, unless it stops with a lot of stuff removed, but right now it DOES look like you're vandalizing. [[User:Melodia|♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫]] 23:28, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 
I'm sorry for all the mess. I'm rather new to Wikipedia (and I've always been terrible at HTML and site design), so that's my fault at how I organized my uh, changes. I know it's hard to see now, but I'll try my best to reorganize the wiki so it looks more professional and it has more info. This isn't going to be the SPEEDIEST process in the world (SaGa Frontier isn't exactly a super popular RPG), but like I said, I have people helping me, so we're all watching each otherss back and work.-Notorious MOG
The favorably reviewed album is his most commercially successful to date, reaching number 39 on [[Billboard magazine|Billboard's]] Top Independent Albums chart. Some would assume this is due to the appearance of several prominent musical figures.
 
:I just reverted what I aaumed was vandalism from you as it appeared you were blanking the pages. Please accept my apologies if this was a mistake on my part. Might I suggest using edit summaries to prevent future misunderstandings? Thanks. [[User:Farosdaughter|Farosdaughter]] 23:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Lanegan also frequently appears as a guest on other artists' records. He toured full-time as third vocalist for [[Queens of the Stone Age]] between 2001 and 2005 before leaving due to health issues. Joining his friend [[Joshua Homme]], who supported the Screaming Trees as their touring guitarist in 1996, Lanegan's distinctive vocals are featured on many of QOTSA's most notable tracks (Hangin' Tree, Song for the Dead, and In the Fade, among others). Improbably, he also recorded a song by [[Sandra Boynton]], "Sneakers", for her 2005 rock-and-roll children's album, "Dog Train." He has also worked with [[Mad Season]], [[Masters of Reality]], [[Melissa Auf der Maur]], [[Martina Topley-Bird]], [[The Walkabouts]], [[Mondo Generator]] and [[The Twilight Singers]].
 
Well, to be honest, it was a mistake, but it's alright, as I can see where you're coming from. Sorry about any confusion! Like I said, I'm reorganizing the page, but the flow of information coming in won't be lightning quick. Me and anyone else has to type the information as we get it, and that may require going back and forth between the game and the computer, so it will take some degree of time.
In September of 2005, Lanegan performed with [[Greg Dulli]] in Italy as the Gutter Twins for the first, and only, time. Other current projects include an album recorded with former [[Soundgarden]] bassist [[Ben Shepherd]]'s band Hater, as well as a Gutter Twins studio album.
 
:My apologies for the revert. However, I think it is possible that someone else may follow me so I strongly urge you to use edit summaries to explain your actions. Furthermore, would it be possible to make a Word document of the changes to the text of the article you want to make and change it in one go, as opposed to slowly inserting the text? Just a thought. [[User:Farosdaughter|Farosdaughter]] 23:48, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
In December of 2005, he released an EP with [[Isobel Campbell]], formerly of [[Belle & Sebastian]], titled ''[[Ramblin' Man]]'' (the title track itself a cover of the [[Hank Williams]] track). This served as a precursor to their full-length album, ''[[Ballad of the Broken Seas]]''. Campbell wrote and recorded the majority of the album's tracks in [[Glasgow]]. Lanegan then added vocals in [[Los Angeles]]. The record was received well by critics who likened the duo to [[Lee Hazelwood]] and [[Nancy Sinatra]].
 
Yes, most certainly! Thanks for the help and advice for a newbie like me. I'll try my best to make this page better with every edit. Much appreciated. Notorious MOG
Aside from providing vocals, Lanegan also wrote the song Revolver. Different versions of this song appear on ''[[Ramblin' Man]]'' and ''[[Ballad of the Broken Seas]]''. ''Ballad of the Broken Seas'' was put on the shortlist for the 2006 [[Mercury Music Prize|Mercury Prize]].
 
== Reverting back ==
'''2006 Tour'''
 
I reverted the page back to the way it was before [[User:Notorious MOG|Notorious MOG]] started overhauling. There seems to be only gain by doing this. Any large changes should be finished before changing the page and making it worse. If you're going to do a major change to the page, do it, rather than change things to what looks like vandalism. [[User:Melodia|♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫]] 01:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
In 2006 Lanegan has been touring with Greg Dulli's [[The Twilight Singers]]. Lanegan toured Europe and Israel with the Twilight Singers and a fall tour throughout the United States is currently under way. Lanegan is now listed as an official member of the band, according to the Twilight Singers' Myspace profile.
