It's actually not that simple!
Give the boys some credit. Whaddaya think? They sat around for five minutes tossing out titles that had two "B"s in them and settled on the first one that had both a musical and sexual meaning? They said themselves that it had to do with their fascination with the big bang theory of the universe.
Their (stadium) concerts open with a big on-screen explosion. Then, they hit the first notes of SMU. Clearly, the Stones themselves are the bigger bang that immediately follows the previous original big bang. The question is, what is represented by the original big bang?
