Best name for a metal band

If you're going to name a metal band, you can't do better than Party Cannon.

That is without a doubt an excellent band name, but the real triumph here is the contrast with the ridiculous illegible metal font. I would buy those folks a round if I saw them live.
 
As part of our environmental training on the job, we were instructed every year about not letting anything other than rain water get into storm drains. Without fail, every video on the topic referred to letting bad stuff go into a storm drain as an "illicit discharge". One of my coworkers and I used to joke about using Illicit Discharge as a band name.
 
If I ever assembled a Doom Metal band, it would have to be named Fred's Bucket. Dedicated to an incontinent co-worker at my first summer job, who got fired for relieving himself in a 5 gal bucket during a shift. One of the funniest and also disgusting workplace events I ever experienced. I still crack up at the image of the LP guy, dutifully walking away with the evidence.
 
We did a post-mortum on some equipment at work that blew up. One of the managers listed the root cause a "Ferrous dust causing the equipment to short out..."

A co-worker and I immediately said that someday, we will have a metal band named "Ferrous Dust"

TBH, no one really knows what happened, but we always have come up with something that is supposedly preventable whenever we do one of these wonderful exercises. That way we can show how we will prevent it from happening again. Gotta love corporate management.
