Talk:Duane Allman

message: No, I don't think:
"universally regarded as one of the greatest of all rock and roll guitarists"
it over the top. Here are a few more opinions, collected in a few minutes from non-personal sites on the web:
*"one of music's all-time greatest slide guitarists"
*"One of rock's most inventive and respected guitarists"
*"Duane Allman is the greatest slide guitar player of all time."
*"nine of the greatest blues/rock guitar heroes that have ever lived: Duane Allman"
I'm trying to get a copy of the Eric Clapton interview discussed on this page, and if (as I expect he will) Clapton says something similar to my characterization, it's going back (although for the sake of peace I'll change "universally" to "generally"), on the grounds that Clapton's views on the matter are probably more signicant than any of ours.

message: Allman is still regarded as one of the greats, even though he's dead, so the opening sentence should say "is" not "was" - since his reputation didn't change with his death. - DavidWBrooks 11:32, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I just read this page. Arrived via Google while researching Duane Allman and his death. This seemed like a fine, NPOV, useful and professional job to me. Kudos! Ned 04:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

message: It says he has a daughter and that her name is Galadrielle. Is there any more information on her, such as her date of birth or who her mother is?  00:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Daughter

message: This article turns into a memorial itself after that section. Where's the "legacy" section and "Influences" and such? It has plenty of information, which is awesome, but it should probably follow a bit better with what other artists I've seen have. I'm sure there are guidelines in the Wikiprojects he's related to. - Boss1000 17:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: General Problem

message: I was one of Duane's best friends. I spent the summer of '67 crashing on his (and Gregg's) couch in L.A. Never in the five years I knew him did I ever see him, or Gregg, with a comic book. This myth comes from a Rolling Stone hit piece which referred to band members reading comic books. Duane was a serious, well read, political leftest person, the opposite of the "southern hick" that some people make him out to be. For this reason I have edited out the comic book reference in Duane's Wikipedia bio.superstar 02:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I have also edited out the reference to "a two legged peach". This is not on the recorded radio interview but was added as an aside by Capricorn owner Phil Walden in a TV interview.superstar 18:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Peach misqoute

message: At the end of the "Session musician" section of the article, we see: "By this time in his life Allman was experimenting heavily with LSD. He also married a girl named cher. They did acid together. and it was great. they wrote wonderful mellodies comprising of allmans sharp guitar riffs and cher's harmonic vocals." While it wouldn't surprise me to learn that a rock musician was dropping acid in 1969, I've never seen it mentioned before in connection with Allman; and the last sentences in the paragraph, with their spelling/typographical errors, lack of proper capitalization, and amateurish tone, not to mention the false claim that Duane Allman married "a girl named cher," make me think the text I quoted should perhaps be removed.

thread_title: LSD & "a girl named cher"

message: Opening paragraph states that it "needs citation". (He is best remembered for his brief but influential tenure in that band, expressive slide guitar playing, and formidable improvisational skills.)
What else is he really remembered for? I don't think it needs citation when he was one of the original Allman Bros.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.164.196.195 (talk) 00:17, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Opening paragraph

message: "ABB were formed in 1969 and, unusually for the time, based in the Southeastern United States." Unusual for what exactly? Musicians based out of Nashville/Memphis/Atlanta/New Orleans were unusual for the time? This should be clarified or removed.  Chafinsky (talk 20:58, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Second paragraph: "unusually for the time, based in the Southeastern United States"

message: The beginning of this article sounds way to much like a stylized commercial biography, someone should make it more presentable and professional.

thread_title: Life Story

message: I see someone has plastered a bunch of citation needed tags all over the article, on various quotations. Most of them are from the liner notes to The Allman Brothers Band: Dreams (1989 boxed set), with a few from Duane Allman: An Anthology (1972), but I'm not up to finding them (or figuring out how to do the citations with the new reference system). I should explain that the article long pre-dates the current 'fully sourced' policy, which explains why they weren't added when the article was first done. Noel (talk) 13:52, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The Early Years section says that a big moment in his life was when he saw BB King.  I was just watching this interview with Greg Allman, "Success, Sorrow and Song: Allman's Hard-Lived Life of Rock", on the PBS news hour, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjrpjTvaz_4 .  At about 2:10 or so, Greg Allman says they attended a review (meaning there must have been several musicians) and "Otis Redding took it, by the way".  So, there may be a misquote in the other source. Or, more interestingly, Duane may have thought BB King was the life-changing experience, and Greg may have thought Otis was it.  The problem is that Greg recalls Otis as playing at the great moment when Duane had to push up his chin, his jaw had dropped so far. So, the most likely scenario is a misquote.  I just wanted this available on the talk page for anyone who wants to research this further - hope it is useful.

thread_title:  Early Years (the moment that changed everything) 

message: Hello!  Thanks for your recent edits to the Discography section of this article, here.  But, perhaps it would be better to take those albums back out of the list.  The usual practice in cases like this is for the Discography section of the musician's article to list only the core albums that they released while still alive, and to have a separate Wikipedia article for their complete discography, such as Duane Allman discography.  See for example Jimi Hendrix#Discography and Stevie Ray Vaughan#Discography, which each list only a few albums.  (As always, other editors are encouraged to post here with their opinions.) — Mudwater (Talk) 19:57, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
