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)Reply

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)Reply

Seperate articles for the two different bands?

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

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)Reply

About the name of "Amon Düül I"

Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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)Reply
