[SkyMonkey]

I'll start off with a few of my heroes.

Alien Sex Fiend: Vocals - Nik Fiend, Keyboards - Mrs Fiend, Drums - Johnny Ha-Ha, Guitar - Yaxi Highrizer.

The Damned: Guitar - Captain Sensible, Drums - Rat Scabies.

The Ramones: Well.... all the Ramones!

 

[RVA]

Sting. One of the most accomplished rock musicians of all time is named after a bee attack, and nobody ever mentioned it!

I’ll go with one a coworker made up a million years ago. Big Dan and His Nine Nasty Nosepickers. Their one hit wonder, “Take Your Tounge Out of My Mouth ‘Cause I’m Kissing You Goodbye.”

All fiction by the way. Except the song title. Local radio station back in the 80s/90s ran a song contest for best song title. That’s what won. After that some enterprising young song writer came up with music and lyrics. Radio station played that a couple times. It was pretty bad….. but all in fun.

How about the group Garbage. Always liked that one.

Edit: Oops. Never mind. Just reread the premise of this thread. I’ll regroup and see what I can come up with. I’m old. It’s early. I had a long day yesterday.

For the classic line up of Motörhead, you also got to remember Philthy Animal Taylor and Fast Eddie Clarke. And Würzel from the next line up.

When I lived in Alabama I hooked up with a stupid lounge lizard copy band called "Big Woody and The Splinters." They deemed me "too rock" for their liking.

Absolutely! Some of the best names imaginable. Even Phil Campbell had the nickname Wizzo for a while in the band. Philthy Animal is probably my favorite name lol
