thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Mountain band.jpeg

message: The page says they were forerunners to heavy metal, not saying they are heavy metal. Heavy metal should be removed from the info box. Labeling Mountain heavy metal seems a little extreme and not accurate. 68.102.235.239 (talk) 05:01, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heavy Metal? 

message: Removed some vandalism at the beginning of History, but I don't understand what it's saying about the name.  Lesley West recorded a solo album called "Mountain", the people involved then formed a band named Mountain because of Lesley West's size.  Did West call his solo album "Mountain" because of his size.  It's just not really clear.KD Tries Again (talk) 17:11, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name? 

message: I was wondering if it is appropriate to include the murder of Pappalardi and it's surrounding circumstances in an article on Mountain. I can understand the reasoning as he was a member of the group at various times. I would think, though, it would be more appropriate for that info to be included in his own article, especially in light of the fact he was not active in the band at the time (at least, that's how it sounds in the article). Not a big deal either way. The information just seems to stick out like a sore thumb instead of fitting in with the flow of the article. Thoughts?THX1136 (talk) 21:43, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Gail Collins (Pappalardi) was not convicted of murder - she plea-dealed to a lesser charge.  Take care - BLP applies.50.111.23.208 (talk) 02:04, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pappalardi's Murder 

message: I'm certain that Mississippi Queen would not be the best known song in the UK, it would be Nantucket Sleighride (possibly because of its use as a TV theme. Is there any reason to say that Mississippi Queen is the best known (apart from the single success) or is this just an opinion? 86.151.39.134 (talk) 18:58, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Best Known Song 

message: Mountain's recordings of "Blood of the Sun" and "Theme ... Western" are not the recordings from their Woodstock performance, but are from another concert, recorded when Laing was in the band.  These were used for the record, so that royalties would go to the then-current incarnation of the group.  While Mountain's Woodstock performance (with Norman D. Smart II on drums) has been bootlegged more than once, no official release of this has ever been issued.  There are RS's that back this up, if an involved editor would like to amend the article accordingly.  The filmed versions of "Southbound Train" and "Beyond the Sea" are the only officially-sanctioned available recordings of Mountain Mk. I's performance at Woodstock.  Sadly, the Wiki article on "Mountain Live: The Road Goes Ever On" (1972) incorrectly credits two songs to Woodstock and to N.D. Smart.  This would irritate Laing and West to no end.  Sigh. 50.111.23.208 (talk) 02:11, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
