Talk:Amon Düül

message: According to various accounts, Düül is variously a Turkish mythical figure, or a Turkish word for "moon". However, I can't find any evidence for this, nor any cites about what "Düül" actually means. Can anyone offer any enlightenment, preferably with a cite? -- Karada 07:48, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

text: This article IS a mess, no doubt about it. It's confusing. I don't know that much about Amon Düül and its splinter groups, so I can't help that much. I was going to create a seperate article about Amon Düül UK, but decided not to do so as they don't even have a standalone AMG entry... although having said that, User:Chubbles told me that if a group, especially a non-US group, doesn't have an AMG entry, that doesn't make the group non-notable. Actually, I will create a seperate article.--h i s   s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 15:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Die Lösung

message: AFAIK the proper name of the original band is just "Amon Düül", not "Amon Düül I". The number can be used in informal situations to avoid confusions, but I think than an encyclopedic article should use the real name of the band. In fact, I haven't seen any release under the name "Amon Düül I". When "Amon Düül II" was created, the rest of the band retained the original name and didn't add the "I". --SugarKane 00:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The only time I have ever seen the name "Amon Düül I" used is on the liner notes to the UK budget, Sunset label reissue of "Phallus Dei" which is itself a lift from an essay called "White Helmet Fuzz Star" (more detail than that, I cannot say).
John Weinzierl says that there never was an Amon Duul 1. (Source http://www.furious.com/perfect/amonduulII.html )
In an interview in The Wire, Chris Karrer referred to a proto-Duul as 'Amon Duul 0'; it consisted of himself, Christian Burchard (later of Embryo) and a couple of others, and mentioned that the tapes of theat formation were still extant. I'll try to find the correct reference. During another interview, he said that the band was originally himself, Peter Leopold, Lother Meid and Rainer Bauer. (Source http://www.thing.de/delektro/artikel/eng/ad2/ad-yeti-yogi.html)
The commune Amon Duul was unnumbered: the tendency to call the original band Amon Duul 1 appears to have been started by people trying to differentiate between Amon Duul the band/commune and Amon Duul as a shorthand for Amon Duul II.
As we all seem to agree that the name of the band was just Amon Düül, I renamed all occurrences in the page, and also added a short comment at the beginning explaining that the band is sometimes referred to as Amon Düül I to avoid confusion with their former fellows. --SugarKane (talk) 01:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: About the name of "Amon Düül I"

message: When I asked an Irani friend in college about the name Amon Duul, he (rather embarrassed) said that "duul" was a slang word for penis.  This makes some sense in that the band name is essentially the same as that of the first album.

I deleted this, on the Allmusic pages I've found nothing similar, probably this is a fake resourcing, or the Allmusic text changed since the time of resourcing. As I know, however, Düül means "Moon" in türkish, at least the german Wikipedia writes that. Gubbubu 11:13, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The photo currently in the infobox is of Amon Düül II. If there are no freely available photos of the original commune or the so-called Amon Düül I, the current picture should at least be labeled more clearly. Jah77 (talk) 16:20, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, it might be a good idea to move the photo to the Amon Düül II article, which currently doesn't have a photo at all, but I have no experience with pictures on Wikipedia. Jah77 (talk) 16:24, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photo 

message: The Chris Karrer article says he was a founding member of Amon Düül and also refers to that band’s discography as part of his.  But this article does not mention him as a band member etc. Boscaswell talk 12:20, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The Chris Karrer article is mistaken. Karrer was a founding member of the original Amon Düül commune, but the recordings were made after Amon Düül II had split off from it. I recall reading an interview where Karrer explicitly denied any involvement with the albums released under the moniker of Amon Düül (without a numeral). Jah77 (talk) 09:34, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
