I've noticed a few band names lately that have incorporated celebrity names into their name, and wondered if anybody here has seen any other band names similar to the list I've placed below.... Dandy Warhols (probably the most famous on my list) Mary Tyler Morphine Gringo Starr Clitt Eastwood Flipper Wilson I think these names are cool, and totally stupid.
yeah that´s the winner in the popularity contest (among band names with famous people) can´t beat Marilyn Monroe + Charles Manson
ALL the members of Marilyn Manson are required to pick a stage name that incorporates a celebrity and a serial killer. Hence, Twiggy Ramirez. I can't remember the others, but that's how it works.
There used to be a band that played in the Atlanta area a lot called "Kathleen Turner Overdrive". I always thought that was pretty cool, but you have to be old to really get that one....
Don't forget these favorites: Jack Kevorkian & the Suicide Machines Jim Jones & the Kool-Aid Kids Sandy Duncan's Eye
Veruca Salt Dred Zeppelin Migus Ahmungus I was in a band for awhile called "Bitches Brew." Does that count?
My personal fave was a band called "Betty's not a Vitamin." Apparently, there is no Betty Rubble in the bottle of Flintstone's kid's vitamins. This may no longer be the case, but at the time.... Okay, so I know that a cartoon character isn't a celebrity, but someone had already mentioned Kathleen Turner Overdrive....so, there.
The rave band I play in is The Chicks See D***s Sorry if any of these have been previously mentioned; One album I own is by Elvis Hitler, then there's - Shirley Temple of Doom Shirley Temple Pilots Minnie Pearl Necklace Don Knotts Overdrive John Cougar Concentration Camp Dead Kennedys Doris Daze Jesus Christ Super Fly Oedipus & the Momma's Boys Diarrhea of Anne Frank Sons of Eddie Haskell
Daisy Berkowitz, Madonna Wayne Gacy...I don´t know know if this applies to Ginger Fish, and I doubt that it applies to John 5 or Zim Zum..
Thanks for asking. Still have this big ol' smelly cast like thing hangin off of it. Had surgery about 2 weeks ago to insert pins in it, but amazingly, I did my first gig last Saturday since I broke it. Had a lot of pain, but I only had to play for an hour, and had some serious pain killers (I lost my concentration in a coupla songs - woohoo!). Thanks for all the replies to this thread. There is some funny names out there, eh?
