Earth-Angel Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Insane Clown Posse...I dont know what they were thinking when they came up with that. :: They were thinking that they're mad and loud and do crazy and perhaps 'insane' things at their shows, wear 'clown' make-up and belong to a group or 'posse', perhaps? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictedtoclassic Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 But Suzy, that would be too obvious. I think it's hard enough coming up with a band name that hasn't already been used. But some of these are just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth-Angel Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Not ridiculous, but I like the sound of Scritti Politti. Or Milli Vanilli :: I don't think RHCP is ridiculous either, you get red hot chili peppers IRL.

old rock & roller Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 OK, here's a few from the New Jersey music scene from the 60's to present: Manitoba Specimen, Fig Newton & The Wizards, Cottage Cheese Funeral, Dr. Zoom & The Sonic Boom (featuring Bruce Springsteen...really!), The Swingin' Johnsons, Disgruntled Postal Workers, The Barking Spiders, Gay Bikers On Acid, Blue Sparks From Hell, Yawn, The Nerds, Screaming Broccoli, We're Not Brothers, and (drum roll please) my band, The Fossil Brothers (www.fossilbrothers.com) A few others that actually gained some national prominence and, in some cases, served as as a springboard for artists that went on to greater fame: Lothar & The Hand People, Bo Grumpus (Felix Pappalardi), Kangaroo (John Hall), The Vagrants (Leslie West), Circus Maximus (Jerry Jeff Walker), The Hassles (Billy Joel), Y Kant Tori Read (Tori Amos), Blue Angel (Cyndi Lauper), International Submarine Band (Jackson Brown), The Three O'Clock, The 4 Skins, It's A Beautiful Day and many more I can't think of right now.

Crazy Don Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Thompson Twins. They were a trio of unrelated people, none of whom had the last name Thompson.

Earth-Angel Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Names like Cradle of Filth and Cannibal Corpse conjure up some delightful images for me. :: Pornographic cyber-sharks indeed!
