Quote from: Dumpster D on February 03, 2025, 02:27:14 AMInterested to learn why they chose 'Thunderball' for the title
Straight away i thought about the 60's James Bond movie with Sean Connery but googling it i see the word originally came from what US soldiers called a mushroom cloud from a nuclear blast. An explosive, powerful type of storm.

yeah, no, I know, I knew that...Just strange they'd title it something that will confuse a lot of people searching for James bond music online now.

newsflash:  they use alot of old 60's and 70's television and film references in their titles.

didn't you ever wonder what a "Brain Center at Whipples" was?   look it up.

I do not think this is a reference to that James Bond film, per se.  but I do think it lends itself to the 60's and 70's.      I am not hopeful that it's going to be an exceptionally heavy album.

Credit:   I'm the guy that said "Dies Iraea" is a play on diarrhea.   you all said "no way did they tweak that name as an ode to bowel evacuation."   as it turns out I had a half a clue.   I've been a MELVINS fan for 35 years.  I don't know them.  but I know them.

Some conspiracy theories:
Thunderball, the movie, had originally the song title 'Mr kiss kiss bang bang'. The melvins played the song 'bang bang' in 1985. A 40 year span!  :shock:

Yes glen, I know.

The fool, the Meddling idiot, is another reference from TV series.

Pretty sure 'black stooges' was from a Mad TV skit

...pretty sure you won't be able to find that skit...I can assure you, it would be considered offensive humour nowadays, and even then.

Pink bat also comes to mind.

Same with a lot of other references.

So ok, again, wondering what the title 'Thunderball' might be in reference to in this particular case.

You might be onto something here.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a reference to anything. Might just be a title Buzz likes. He said he's a list maker when it comes to song titles so it might just have been plucked from that. Or an in-joke like Hold It In was.

I'm sure in about 50 interviews he will be asked about the James Bond film now though!

Nothing announced on Thunderball yet! I've been thinking more and you guys remember Buzz said two of the Napalm Death guys were aching to do some recording with them and they were going to do some together. Since both bands are touring together this year could they be on this record???

Same antlers too! I'm assuming that's another lino block for printing. I wonder if that will be for a limited edition vinyl version that they will sell at the shows.
