  1. Since everybody wants to do worst band names, let's do that now.

    Some of the worst I've heard would be Skinny Puppy (dude, that is an AWFUL name for a band, lol), Foo Fighters, Fine Young Cannibals, Meatloaf, Nine inch Nails (never cared for that one, either) and Mastodon.

    And you?

  3. Oh yeah, The Birthday Massacre. I don't like that one AT ALL. Armageddon Dildos is pretty bad too.

    I saw a band called Catholic Boys In Heavy Leather.......interesting name

    One of my favorite punk bands from the 80's name was horrid but they ruled! Spermbirds.

    NamNamBulu is truly the worst name in this scene!

    And I worship Frank Spinath, but dude has been in some silly named bands...

    Seabound - What the fuck does that have to do with their music?
    Edge of Dawn - I'm pretty sure that is a chapter title from the Twilight novels
    Ghost & Writer - I have no idea!

    Redemption(SLC goth band) or anything that would be impossible to search on Youtube if they didn't tag it properly.

    Ayria, get them confused in conversation with the Russian band Aria :)

    Spetsnaz, false advertising. Borrowing terms from military organizations is a setup for waltism.

    Meat Beat Manifesto - Awesome band but try explaining that to someone who never heard of them.

    Butthole Surfers - Pretty self explanatory

  10. Anything with 'Psyclon' or 'Nine' in it. Also:
    Pedro &the Lion
    Hot Chip
    Modest Mouse
    Deadzy
    TV On the Radio
    Dashboard Confessional
    Korn
    Tad
    Flo-Rida
    Death Cab for Cutie
    Mudhoney
    Slipknot
    and, even though I dig 'em, I agree that Combichrist is kind of "what the fuck?"

  11. I agree, Korn is a TERRIBLE band name. So is Modest Mouse. What the hell does that mean? Then there's The Eagles of Death Metal. That one I just don't get AT ALL. Slipknot is not too terrible. There are worse ones, like 30 Seconds To Mars and Good Charlotte. Oh, and The Flaming Lips.

  16. Oh, Pet Shop Boys. That is a bad one. Forgot about them. Bread is a pretty bad one, too. LOL. And Cutting Crew. Don't forget them.

    what's wrong with Mastodon?

    Mastodon is named after a cool extinct animal, but the animal was named after the resemblance of its teeth to nipples. So it's kind of a draw, I guess.

  19. @Ornox: I just don't like it. It's not terribly horrible. It's just... I don't know. You wouldn't name your band Elephant. Or Mammoth. LOL.
