Great / rubbish band names
There are some stupid band names out there - and some band names that are so bad they're actually great. What are the stupidest / most brilliant band names you've heard?
Here's one for starters. They were around in the '90s and I've never heard a note of music by them: Raging Speedhorn.

Re: Great / rubbish band names
My brother's former band was called Twisting The Knife (they're a metal type of band) which I thought was great, but now they've changed to Chains of Hate which I think is....I dunno...a bit crap.
One of the worst I've ever heard though was a band called "Crystalised Movements". I kid you not. They were an indie type band around in the early '90s.

Another two:
Gaye Bikers on Acid
Sheep on Drugs.
There really should have been some quality control on band names in the '90s...

Foo Fighters. I'm sure Grohl said in an interview that if he knew they were gonna be so big he would have come up with a better name.

Dogs Die in Hot Cars
The Electric Prunes (who actually had some great songs)
Test Icicles
Deep Blue Something - surely the stupidest, most wishy-washy band name ever. Apart from Ocean Colour Scene, which is cr@p too.

No Glas, they were rubbish and had a rubbish name. It's win/win. Or lose/lose, if you had to listen to them.

Demon - that's not the Carter USM I recall. In their heyday in the early 90s there was only Jimbob and Fruitbat with a drum machine. Obviously not their real names...

Yeah they are the official members, but for live shows they have a full band, and this fella is the guitarist. Has been for years and years - he works where I work as a temp, and he can't sign a full time contract because he goes touring with them.

Either that or he's mental with an aversion to calendar-round working...

Any bands that insist on merging words together and / or having their names in lower-case letters are rubbish. Yes, lostprophets, I'm talking about you.

30 Seconds to Mars is a crap name.
Monster Magnet is a nonsensical name, but the story behind it is that it's one of a number of different names they'd put on their demo tapes when they sent them out. Which is a story I like. They're a great band too.

Remember Busted? One of them went on to have a band called Son of Dork, which makes him so punchworthy it's untrue.
