I've added a table of their albums, But I don't know how to upload pictures. Can somebody help inserting pictures of their albums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.148.168.43 (talk • contribs)

Name origins
Is the name taken from a frank zappa song 'return of the son of monster magnet' (really obscure)? its possible. is it verifiable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.203.251 (talk) 23:58, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Dave Wyndorf has stated in an interview that the band is named after the toy, and the Zappa song is a coincidence.--GuySperanza (talk) 18:11, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

News since Wyndorf OD
What happened to these guys? I haven't heard anything since the OD.. wasn't the album already finished? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.86.207.138 (talk • contribs)

The album was supposed to have been finished, and the tour that was cancelled was promoting it. I haven't heard any news at all since the OD, and it's coming up to a year soon. The outlook is bleak. Has anyone heard any news at all though? FredTheDeadHead 20:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Apparently Dave's re-started work on the album. Glad to hear he's back. http://www.roadrun.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=69992

Influences
Black Sabbath aren't mentioned here. I'm sure I hear alot of Tony Iommi in Dave's riffs. anyone know for sure?

I hear a lot of Black Sabbath in a lot more than Dave's riffs. He has stated that Hawkwind and Black Sabbath are the two main influences. There's a statement about a possible Iron Butterfly influence. I hear that as more of a Doors influence. Uncoincidentally, Iron Butterfly were strongly influenced by The Doors. Any opposition to changing that?--GuySperanza (talk) 18:15, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Trivia Section
Song usage info should go into pages for individual albums. Since Trivia Sections are discouraged, a title like "Song usage" would be better. I'll get started on this after a standardized section heading is agreed upon in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums  &mdash; edgarde 21:44, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Lord of Light
If you crossreference the lyrics of Lord of light and Dopes to infinity, I can't find any lyrics borrowed from Lord of Light, can you? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.145.53.183 (talk) 14:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

New site location?
Can someone please verify that it's changed and not just temporarily down?JWhiteheadcc (talk) 03:00, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Children of the Atom
The influences section mentions that "All Shook Out" has the phrase "Children Of The Atom", which refers to the X-Men. There is also a 1953 Sci Fi novel called Children Of The Atom (which may have inspired the X-Men originally) that could also be the inspiration for that lyric. Unless there's a citation indicating which the lyric refers to, I suggest changing it to read;

""All Shook Out" from God Says No has a reference to "Children of the Atom" which may be a reference to X-Men, also from Marvel Comics."68.41.191.158 (talk) 06:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Powertrip album cover
Can someone please change the album cover picture on the Powertrip album page? The picture being used is of very bad image quality. 86.45.47.195 (talk) 17:58, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
