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)

Mwaahaha well if you're Irish this is all very amusing. T'aman dieul, is a curse literally meaning Your soul to the Devil. No Turkish dudes involved. It would sound exactly like Amon Duul as the T wouldn't be heard. Do I win a prize, maybe a sticker in the shape of a golden star. --83.70.241.121 14:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seperate articles for the two different bands?

I think this could be a feasible idea... --HisSpaceResearch 01:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Amon Düül and Amon Düül II are radically different bands, both in sound and personnel. They are of course intimately related, but this is kind of like having the same article for Rage against the machine and Audioslave. Kruka 12:02, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Let's split it. Kaldari 17:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

To be honest I don't know enough about either band to be able to do this.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 17:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I split off Amon Düül II into a separate article. We should also probably split Amon Düül UK off as well. Please feel free to clean up the mess I've left :P Kaldari (talk) 00:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

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)

Sounds like a good idea to me. Kaldari (talk) 15:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Amon Düül UK created.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 15:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Die Lösung

Got a question about Die Lösung - there's some ambiguity as to whether it's by Amon Düül UK or Amon Düül II.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 15:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Definitely looks like an Amon Düül UK rather than Amon Düül II album. Check out the line up. Kaldari (talk) 22:13, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About the name of "Amon Düül I"

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)

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).

[edit] what would improve this page

are photos of either band. there have to be some which are public domain... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.65.213.237 (talk) 03:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
