You're late to the party
Indeed! I always say that there should be a website, made by veteran and hardcore fans, for new fans, to learn about things like this, for each band member, for each album and song, for tours and shows, etc. etc. A sort of Fan-wiki with all sorts of interesting tidbits and knowledge that older fans can share.
Otherwise, we'll just get a million threads asking what happened to the ending of "Pull Me Under"!
