Paradox[edit]

How can Brad be a Jewish musician and a buddist? This does not make sense! (chewbacca defense, JackpotDen)

a) Judaism is an ethnicity as well as a religion. b) Buddhism does not disallow other religious beliefs/practices. c)Being Buddhist doesn't automatically make a Jew stop being Jewish.--Anchoress 04:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
see also Leonard Cohen:

Anyways, that whole comment on him reciting a Jewish prayer had no source.--Mynabull 16:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

On his own MySpace page, he claims his religion as Buddist and his ethnicity as Native American - Perhaps that should be added to the main article. In regard to the "Jewish" bit, a webpage of "Intact U.S. Musicians" lists him as uncircumsized, although doesn't cite a source (I think RATM may have appeared naked on stage).

POV tag[edit]

What stood out particularly was the stuff about his dad and his spiritual beliefs.--Anchoress 04:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wha?[edit]

Someone tell me why this was deleted. --71.255.21.205 01:17, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction[edit]

In the opening paragraph it states that Brad joined RATM by placing a newspaper ad. However, in the Rage Against The Machine section, it points out that he auditioned for Tom Morello's former band, who then, after meeting Zack de la Rocha, contacted Brad and asked him to be in the band. I'm pretty sure the latter is right, though if somebody could confirm this it'd be better. --Zapatista comeau 06:32, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recent blanking[edit]

Can someone knowledgeable add the proper pronunciation characters for "Wilk"?[edit]

I just stumbled upon this article yesterday, and attempted a little cleanup and some timeline- tried to clean up the intro based on what was here already. Would someone please put the correct characters next to Brad's last name for pronunciation? It would appear more professional than what is there now. --leahtwosaints (talk) 17:06, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say [ˈvilk]. M3n747 (talk) 10:01, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life[edit]

Why mentions of his family (wife and kids) are being constantly removed of the page? We all know it's true, there are pictures, mentions, all over the Internet. Did he express the desire to keep it quiet in order to avoid being harassed or something? I'm confused about that.--Darkcook (talk) 15:38, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I could hazard a guess that its Scientology related..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.0.108.231 (talk) 14:12, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removing lead section notice[edit]

There's currently the "This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize its key points" notice from 2013 at the top of the article. As it currently stands, the lead seems to be an adequate summary. Would anyone be opposed to it being removed? -- Primium (talk) 19:54, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
