They have pills for that kind of stuff, must've not seen the infomercial ?

It depicts an over-zealous music fan moshing it up....then handing people documents......then selling stuff online....all the while with a "Kinison Grin" on the face.

Umm yeah, Municipal Waste is gonna f&@k you up!

Bump.

Radio Active Cats.

These guys came up on my shuffle the other morning and I was reminded what a great, sleazy, glammy gem of an album it is and what a stupid, stupid name the band had.

I know this post is ancient, but I've always wondered... how the hell would you pronounce "Xstroyes," anyway? Anyone know?

I think it's supposed to be "destroys". So, yeah ....

Sex Machineguns (very good Japanese metal band formed around 1989).

Good call! On a Japanese theme see also Unlucky Morpheus & Boris (which is a terrible name!)

Gaye Bikers on Acid was a crappy name but a kind of cool crappy name.

Even after all these years, I still haven't decided if "Cycle Sluts From Hell" is a "goofy" band name, or one of the best band names ever.

Someone I know brought them up not too long ago, and then I said something to the effect of, "The original Babymetal!"

I know Pretty Maids has already been said, but 2 others that, if we didn't know better, sound like a girl band: Cinderella and Britny Fox. Of course, I absolutely love both bands.

Actually Cinderella is a godawful name for a rock band but I'd never thought about it.

What the hell is an Aerosmith?

Also was King Diamond really the most evil name Kim could come up with? Sounds like a power tool!

Mindfunk
Mind Over Four

Joey Kramer says it was sort of a play off a book he read in high school 'Arrowsmith' by Sinclair Lewis. Aerosmith just sounded cooler I guess.

For a man named Kim, I'd say King Diamond was a step-up  

EDIT: or not..

Quote :

It is a popular myth that the rock band Aerosmith took its name from this book. Though the members were required to read this book in school, they have repeatedly and adamantly denied any connection. In fact, the name was initially rejected because they thought drummer Joey Kramer got the name from the Sinclair novel. When he explained the different spelling and that the name came to him while listening to Harry Nilsson's album Aerial Ballet, the name was accepted by the other members
