Let's make fun of ugly band names!

That's exactly the point. The name refers to a state of ultimate peace, understanding, and contentedness - while the band's foundation was chaos, confusion, and angst.

As to the Zombies, they were an old British group that sounded very much alive and usually upbeat.

"And there were all sorts of mean nasty ugly people sittin' next to me on the bench there. There was father-stabbers. Mother-rapers. Why there were father-rapers sittin on the bench next to me and the meanest one - the ugliest father-raper of them all pull up next to me and said..." - Arlo Guthrie, Alice's Restaurant.

"...'What're you in for?'"

Heh heh. I saw that movie too.

Last I heard, KISS was an acronymn for Knights In Service of Satan. Not that pretty a name, when you think about it, but perfect for a 'bad-ass' glam band.

Or I've also heard "Kids In Service to Satan." Whatever the acronym stands for may not be pretty, but the acronym itself is not too ugly. I've seen pictures of the band, though, and they certainly are ugly! Judging by the clown paint, it's probably all just part of an act.

Incubus is a name much uglier than than band that goes with it.

KISS in reverse, I guess.

Nirvana and The Zombies also both had names that really didn't fit their sound.

Well, I've heard a little Nirvana, so I know what you mean. I'm guessing the Zombies didn't sound like someone who's majorly sleep deprived?

That could be a pretty humorous act: guys in pajamas and zombie makeup on stage, singing "Braaains, braaains, braaains, braaains..."

(I'm humming the tune to Crash Test Dummies' "Mmm Mmm" here.)

At my school there was a band (that lasted for a single performance, and which only picked up their drummer while I was setting up the stage for that performance) called Vampyres Suck.

Actually, Vampyres Suck is a pretty awesome name, if only because it gave them subject material for a three-minute Abbot and Costello style routine that really warmed up the crowd before they had to play.

So, is the name supposed to be an insult to Vampires, or just an observation of their behavior? The world will never know.

Sounds like an intentionally pretentious bad pun; I like it.

How about we not make fun of band names, and just make fun all your idiotic names?

Yeah, I went there.

Hee, I'm suprised no one asked me if I knew anything about this. Truth is, there is no real acronymn for KISS, it's a name lead singer/rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley thought up of, because it describes a sense of every type of love, from teenage puppy love to hardcore sex. Knights In Satan's Service is just something some mothers came up with when they saw Gene Simmon's blood spewing antics, see avatar (if you want to see a more bloody version just ask and I'll put it up for a while). But another un-official acronymn that Paul and Gene came up with is much better in my opinion: Kabuki Is So Stylish.

As far as the band members being ugly, well, maybe you can say that now since they're well into their 50's, but don't say that to a female fan of Paul's. She'll go on forever about how cute he is.

Well woopie. You want us all to give a shit?

Um, I saw the picture of the 'Ugly Band'... sure, they look ridiculous, but have you heard them? Didn't someone just say "Don't judge a book by it's cover"? For example: have you ever seen Phil Collins? I absolutely LOVE his singing voice, but he looks like an idiot when he sings...

But to get back on topic; what's wrong with making fun of things you love? If you can make fun of something (A favorite band, anime, yourself, etc) than it shows that you aren't obsessed and that you can love something without having to make other people afraid you'll bite their heads of if they attempt to diss it. ^_^
