Any source to show that Wilson committed suicide? I changed it to just death until it can be corroborrated. (drivinghighway61 03:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC))

"but sadly, Wilson committed suicide on 3 September 1970, between the album's completion and release." - p. 353, Blues on CD, Charles Shaar Murray, 1993, ISBN 1-85626-084-4 It's all there in the book. --Blainster 04:33, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Regardless of what Mr. Murray's book says, there is still no real evidence to prove Wilson's death a suicide. Though he had been depressed he left no note, and autopsy reports were inconclusive as to purposefulness, or lack thereof, in the drug overdose involved in his death. Alan Wilson's autopsy can be obtained, for a minor fee, from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.224.36.1 (talk • contribs) 12:57, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

You may be correct, but you need to provide a published source per Wikipedia guidelines. --Blainster 23:00, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Al Wilson's death was ruled accidental by the coroner's office. Results were published in the autopsy report and death certificate which are in the public record.

[edit] Canned Heat Potted History LINK

Looks like linkspamto me, but benefit of the doubt. . . . Mikereichold 18:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)


There was never any Mileaf's in Canned Heat or any Mileaf's In Vietnam. All fantasy . Please keep that in mind

[edit] Live At The Fox Theatre

According to the Canned Heat website discography, the album Live at the Fox Theatre, Venice, with John Lee Hooker, was recorded in 1987, not 1978 as previously listed in the article. Corrected a paragraph formatting problem at the same time. --Blainster 23:32, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mileaf

I found Mileaf listed on a number of sites as a former member of Canned Heat. I wrote to Blindowl webmaster and he said he was never in the band. I think somebody decided to play a prank an list him as a former member. He was never in Canned Heat or any other maindstream band. Shame some people posts lies and fabrications. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.71.164.203 (talk) 17:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC).

But the name does not appear in this article, so why the comment?--Blainster 18:36, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
It appears on many other websites that report Wikipedia as the source. It is also listed on his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/danmileaf. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.71.164.203 (talk • contribs) 12:59, April 4, 2007 (UTC)
