oh. i guess not. never much of a fan – of the movies or the band.

i actually got dragged into seeing o.a.r in boston. it was the scariest show i've ever been to. so much abercrombie. everyone looked the same.

Prong
Helmet
Tool
The Slits
Gay Bikers On Acid

Call me Messiah, please. Smile when you say it. :mad:

come on, who wouldnt treat women like that given the opportunity?

I know I would'nt.

"Gaye bikers on acid" always sounded like a bad name for a band.

We cant forget

The The

can we?

and since i work in a record store, i have found these bands….

Pissing Razors
Anal Cunt
and the Ass Ponys.

i mean, come on….

color me badd

wait, they weren't a real band.

how about. . .pylon. that's just dumb.

I like their music, but I hate System of a Down's name. It's just awkward.

Any group called The [one band member, i.e. Dave Matthews, Joshua Dodes, Greg Kihn] Band is also going to blow goats.

i am dissappointed no one has had a dig at all the misspelled rap acts

Ginuwine

Mystikal

Ethyl Meat Plow

an allmusic search for bastard yields quite a few really bad names, and Mankies alter ego:

I don't consider those bands, musicians, entertainers or anything like that so wouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt by including them as part of this question.

They had a very successful world tour with their shampoo assistants, "Wet Wet Wet."
