I\\\'m not enforcing any \\\"rules.\\\" It\\\'s a matter of consistency. If we were to add hot tips for guest musicians on Avenged Sevenfold and Apocalyptica, we\\\'d have to add them for Avantasia, Ayreon, Kamelot, etc. We\\\'d have massive and confusing lists of people that aren\\\'t even members of these bands. Either do it for every artist on the index or don\\\'t do it at all is all I\\\'m saying.

You, on the other hand, are calling my attempts to make things less confusing arbitrary for no other reason than your disagreement. Make a case for your side and tell me what makes Apocalyptica and Avenged Sevenfold so different that we need to associate them with artists that they aren\\\'t really associated with based on guest musicians.

Also, as I pointed out, Mike Portnoy isn\\\'t a member of Dream Theater any more and we don\\\'t have a page for him personally. You\\\'ve disagreed with me listing Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, so don\\\'t try to tell me that Portnoy needs to be listed himself.

This page is an index, so its purpose is to list off pages and make it easier for people to find what they\\\'re looking for, not to inform people of guest members of the bands listed. If you think guest musicians are important to note, do so on the pages of the bands involved.
