Talk:Mitch Mitchell

message: I was a bit surprised to find his name listed in :Category:Child actors, and there's nothing in the article to substantiate that he was, in fact, a child actor. If he really was one, something about it should be added to the article; otherwise he should be removed from the category. Cgingold (talk) 08:16, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Hopefully someone will put in the true cause later.  At least we know he wasn't murdered.
As stated above, natural causes is not sufficient as a cause; it certainly will not state that on the death certificate. When someone has died, one the most common questions people want answering is "what did he die of?" Werdnawerdna (talk) 14:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Cause of Death

message: The article doesn't mention either. Readers of biographies want to know about those things; they should be included. Werdnawerdna (talk) 14:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

message: To User:BGC, you've twice changed Mitch's birth year to 1946. Could you please give your source for this?. Ta, Dickdock (talk) 11:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Year of Birth 

message: There are some other great examples of Mitchell's drumming showcased on the band's first album. I realize only a few can make it into the article, but wanted to make sure these were considered too!!!
The mini-rock concerto in Love Or Confusion: Mitch's drums are again amazing, but he uses a ride cymbal like not heard in rock prior to this album
Up From The Skies: Bold As Love's second track, very jazzy, with all of the triplet tricks of before, but not on the snare this time, on toms, and I believe, if I am not mistaken, I hear brushes??  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.142.74.42 (talk) 17:26, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  More Highlights on Mitch's drums 

message: The equipment section asserts he used Ludwig drums with remo heads but cites no references.
Neglects to mention he also used Premier drums.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stix67 (talk • contribs) 21:33, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Equipment missing citations 

message: In Mitchell and co-writer John Platt's book Jimi Hendrix: Inside the Experience (1990), they explain:
In the "Tour Itinerary" chapter, they add under the 1967 July heading:
Simple arithmetic (1967 minus 21 equals 1946) places his birthdate as 9 July 1946. The 1947 date given by Encyclopedia Britannica and others is also included in the "Early days" section of the WP article with citations (see WP:Conflicting sources and WP:NOTOR#Conflict between sources). The date that Mitchell gives in his book (and found in other reliable sources: Billboard, the New York Times, and Rolling Stone) is used for the lead and infobox. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:10, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mitchell gives birthday in his book 

message: . Over the objection of the tour manager, Mitchell protested over the concerns of the tour manager and drum tech asked to be allowed to "catch up on sleep" and then to be picked up after a few days rest and to be driven back up to the Seattle area by tour roadies. From Seattle, he had planned to return to his home in England. The tour manager, respected Mitchell's request but with spoken reservations about its wisdom. The tour manager's concern was validated when Mitchell died in his sleep that same night. Press reports that he died from alcohol-related problems are contradicted by Mitchell's health history and are not accurate.[citation needed] Mitchell was the last surviving member of the original Jimi Hendrix Experience 2003:C7:773A:1930:A1EE:133E:5DCB:C0B5 (talk) 00:43, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
