Maybe they're big fans of this guy...

Usain Bolt would've been preferable to Lightning Bolt.

Let's be honest, if we found out today the album was called Shitballs it'd be the greatest thing ever.

Lets hope so!

If they don't give us the title this afternoon, we should all refer to it as Shitballs until they do.

I saw the original announcement before it was taken down, the text was in German while the title was in English, so no translation mistakes I think..

Titles don't get translated do they?

That's a quote from Eddie, Backspacer era regarding the songwriting process...

What a way of saying honestly couldn't give a shit these days! I remember, quotes like this was what temporarily turned me off the band.

So short-sighted and being 'temporarily turned off" by the band b/c of it is wetting the bed. just relax, man. If you talk to MOST songwriters, they think the songs that come out the quickest are the best. The ones that they have to slave over, there's often something wrong and they're lacking in inspiration. Not always true of course, but a majority of songwriters I've read say that.

Unless ed is over his batman phase

Terrible title inspires maybe the funniest pages of the thread.

so we are going from this:



to this?:

If they do what STP did with Purple (by which I mean call it whatever the fuck they want but never put the title anywhere on the album cover or spine), they can call this Lightning Bolt. Sure.

I'm still in denial here. I won't believe it until I see it. It's quite possible that German's like to have a laugh once in awhile too, right?

welp.
