I have been following this band it seems like my whole life, and know all about the "Mamasan" tape. I never thought about why Eddie named it that when he sent it back , but for some reason it hit me today. We all know the meanings of the songs, so saying "Mamasan" is like saying mama---son, am I right?

There is no doubt this is figured out over a decade ago, but man, I just never thought about it. I am a quick one!

IIRC, "Momma Son" was how it was written on the cassette replica in the TEN deluxe set.

Why was it spelled mamasan all over the place? I didn't get the deluxe set. I figured this on my own :wink:

I always thought it was a Japanese-inspired thing.

Like "Honorable Mother," or something.

Don't know. Maybe someone heard somebody say it out loud and it got transcribed in Japanese.

Mama-san is a very loaded term.
