Let's make fun of ugly band names!

[Rorschach]

A long time back, I was joking with Koronoru about how so many contemporary rock bands' names sound really terrible. Maybe their music is good, but with names like Cradle of Filth, Puddle of Mudd, Hoobastank, and Saliva, I'm not exactly eager to see whether their music is good or not. I can only take so much of references to sludge and filth and disgusting body functions. The whole thing makes me wonder what kind of people these bands cater to...

Anyway, I've seen a few good jokes about ugly band names in the comics section of my newspaper such as "Three Ugly Guys Screaming" (on an album cover in Bloom County) "Gingivitis" (a rock band in Zits) and "Jagged Cavities" (a rappers' group in Curtis). The parody I mentioned to Koronoru was "Armpit Blood Blister Scabs." He joked that he thought he saw them opening for Plague Ratz this one time...

Does anybody else here ever get the urge to make fun of ugly band names? If so, I'd like to hear some of your parody names. Rule of thumb: the more pretentiously disgusting they sound, the funnier they are.

Puddle of Mudd, Hoobastank and Saliva kick ass. Cradel of filth is hardly contemporary rock. its death metal. Alot of screaming and really eerie loud organ music that sounds like what satan would play in church on the pipe organ.

You're judging a band by its name, and thats the same class of error as judging a book by its cover. I never get the urge to make fun of a band name.

Well, there must be billions of books, and at the very least, there must be millions of musicians in the USA alone. I can't spend all of my time sampling them. Say what you will, the packaging matters.

I do think, though, that a really, really pretentiously disgusting name might be useful as an actual band's name if the point is to clue the listener that the band actually goes around making fun of other bands' pretentions. (The band gets bonus points if all of its songs have blatant title parodies as well, such as "My Rotting Gangsta Corpse")

You never get the urge? Oh well. I guess having fun with the best of the worst isn't for everyone.

Rainbow Butt Monkeys

They weren't very good, either.

[Rorschach]

Yeah, yeah. I've kissed a few girls in my time, so I know what you mean. Call me old-fashioned, but I still don't see anything all that beautiful and romantic about bodily fluids. "Chewing her lips" or even "the wine of her kisses" is fine by me, but no talk of "swapping spit" please! I just ate. KISS is a beautiful band name; Saliva's name is butt ugly.

Rainbow Butt Monkeys is a band name? Ha ha! That's a good one! More perversity than sheer ugly in it, but I'm already imagining a lot of bad puns about bananas in the song names.

Yes, anything with "Anal" in it is definitely an ugly name. If you go to Anal Blast's concert, you might want not want to get too near to the stage...

Speaking of scatalogical stuff, wasn't there also a band called Butthole Surfers?

Don't see what's so ugly about the band in that picture, although it looks to me like the hired band didn't make it to the restaurant, so the cook, the manager, and a waiter had to fill in for them.

Dude what the hell, the packaging doesn't matter...if you go to a place like wal-mart or some other music store that lets you sample the music then look at stuff with bad packaging and most likely you'll find some really good music. Please don't judge just because of the cover...thats arrogant.
