-==Live Show==
-I know this is [[WP:POV|POV]] so I didn't put it in the article, but I wanted to say it anyway:
-I saw them open for the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] in [[Washington, D.C.|D.C.]] two days ago, and they were HORRIBLE. An acquaintance of mine saw them the next night in [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]], [[Virginia|VA]], and he said the same thing. WHY IS THEIR LIVE SHOW SO BAD? From what I've heard to [[St._Elsewhere_%28album%29|St. Elsewhere]], its not that bad, especially [[Crazy_%28Gnarls_Barkley_song%29|Crazy]], so what's up with their live show?[[User:Cheeda777|Sunshine]] 02:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
-I saw them play as well for the Chili Peppers in Dallas. I didn't think they put on a bad show, I dont believe they had access to the same speakers as RHCP so they didn't sound very loud or clear. ([[User:70.232.71.234|70.232.71.234]] 05:08, 16 February 2007 (UTC))
-== Link Farm? ==
-Anyone else think that's an excessive amount of links? I doubt they are all needed... --[[User:These7enthprophet|These7enthprophet]] 19:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
-::Agreed, especially for such a shitty band. Change it, if you want. You've got my support.[[User:Cheeda777|Sunshine]] 17:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
-== Costumes ==
-They dressed up like santa claus on Jimmy Kemmel's show I think one time.--[[User:Playstationdude|Playstationdude]] 01:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
-== Alternative ==
-Can someone PLEASE tell me how these guys are alternative rock?! [[User:Titan50|Titan50]] ([[User talk:Titan50|talk]]) 19:58, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
-::Three of their songs charted on the [[Modern Rock Tracks|Billboard Modern Rock (Alternative) Chart]]. That's how. [[User:Doc Strange| Doc Strange]]<sup>[[User talk:Doc Strange|Mailbox]]</sup><small>[[Special:Contributions/Doc Strange|Logbook]]</small> 18:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
-::Oh, and they won the [[Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album]]. [[User:Doc Strange| Doc Strange]]<sup>[[User talk:Doc Strange|Mailbox]]</sup><small>[[Special:Contributions/Doc Strange|Logbook]]</small> 18:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
-== His Age?? ==
-What type of Wikipedia article does not tell the man's age and birthday?? Somebody out there better get it or I will!!!  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.54.0.168|71.54.0.168]] ([[User talk:71.54.0.168|talk]]) 16:22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-:Feel free to provide us his birthday. Addition: The birthday for both of these guys are inside their own articles. See [[Danger Mouse]] (Brian Burton) and [[Cee-Lo|Cee-Lo Green]] '''[[User:Ilyushka88|<font color="red">El</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Ilyushka88|<font color="#990000">i</font><font color="black">AS</font>]]''' 16:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
-::If you took a second to look at the article, you would have seen that Gnarls Barkley is a duo, not a person. --[[User:Soetermans|Soetermans]] ([[User talk:Soetermans|talk]]) 20:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
-== Charles Barkley Namesake ==
-The last line from the end of the introduction to the page doesn't seem right to me.
-''"Despite the obvious similarity, the duo's name was not taken from that of former NBA player, Charles Barkley."''
-Then the fourth paragraph of the '''Career''' section states, with a reference:
-''"Burton explains the collaboration's name came from friends, "making up fictional celebrity names like Prince Gnarls and Bob Gnarley." When Heavens' Josiah Steinbrick came up with Gnarls Barkley, Burton wrote it down."''
-It sounds to me like their name was definitely inspired by Charles Barkley.

-:Thanks fantasic! Absolutely wonderful! Splendid, even! Superb one might say. Sheer brilliance. Outstanding! Great. Nice. Pretty! Well done!

-== Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse First Meet ==
-Just posting this to say that according to the Cee-Lo page, they met in 1998, but the Gnarls Barkley pages says they met in 2003.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/90.219.29.147|90.219.29.147]] ([[User talk:90.219.29.147|talk]]) 10:01, 22 September 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-== Genre(s) ==
-Please provide reliable sources when adding genres, otherwise you are carrying out [[WP:OR|original research]]. Please develop [[WP:C|consensus]] for any additions and/or changes to genres, on any Wikipedia articles. I have removed genres from the lead pending consensus here.

-== "Ki Ki"? ==
-So, an article about Gnarls Barkley begins by talking about "Ki Ki" without any connection presented to the subject matter. I'm confused. What is Ki Ki, why is it called that and what does it have to do with Gnarls Barkley?
