Who has the worst stage name and why is it Jizzy Pearl?

Vessel
Papa Nihil

I was pretty blown away when I found out that "Blu DeTiger" was NOT a stage name.

 

[Guitalia]

Cleaning up in Aisle 3:

The Edge didn't give himself that name. The guys he hung around when he was a teenager did, because whenever the crowd was surrounding someone saying or doing interesting stuff, he was always on the outside looking in.

And Jessie Colin Young (real name, Jessie Cohen, by the way) was the bassist of the Youngbloods. Banana was the guitarist/keyboard player.

Sickie Wifebeater was a guitarist from The Mentors.

Look up The Impotent Seasnakes, because I'm not sure I can post their names here.

I dug Love/Hate. Jizzy Pearl was a killer vocalist and their bassist, Skid, was their primary songwriter.

Other questionable stage names... In Mudvayne's early days, their stage names were Kud, Gurrg, Ryknow, and SpAg.

Re the 'snakes, they were on Pravda Records outta Chi - saw 'em many times, including when 13 kicked a friend of a friend in the face from onstage (Club Dreamerz), cops was called ...

I was doing some work with that company at the time, left the club immediately, don't mind saying.

Matter of fact, one of the NIN guitarists started with 'em ...

I actually have a DVD of a Euro show, but it's pretty tame vs. their stage act which involved significant use of ... props.

Freebo? Bonnie Raitt's bassist in the 70s

Genesis P Orridge of Throbbing Gristle

Fee Waybill of the Tubes

All due respect to all of the above

Belial is forever imprinted in my mind. I can remember watching those movies late at night as a little kid and it still sticks with me.

Ringo?

Is there a worse one?

When I first saw that stage name, I thought it was a bass finish! There are several rappers who have worse names.

Lil Nas X
Lil Uzi Vert
Bhad Bhabie
XXXTENTACION

I’m showing my age and my genre preferences, so I’ll throw some old metal guys under the bus.
Thomas G. Warrior
Euronymous
King Diamond
Nikki Sixx (is that information really worth broadcasting?)

Yes sir! "Cash me outside. How bow dah." gets me every time! As much as I want to for laughs, I can't post the video on here because of the profanities.

I'd also like to add the following:
* Lil Baby
* Krayzie Bone
* Chamillionaire
* Lil Dicky
* Chingy
* Soulja Boy - I believed it when he first came out with the "Crank Dat Soulja Boy" demo (I was 12 at the time) and I still believe it now in my early 30s! As much as I want to for laughs, I can't post the video for that song either on here because of the profanities.
* Silento
* Da Baby

And Jessie Colin Young (real name, Jessie Cohen, by the way) was the bassist of the Youngbloods.

I think his real name was Perry Miller… died only a few months ago (his bluesy 1972 album “Together” is fantastic)

 

[Wood and Wire]

Never heard this one before, I laughed out loud.

It's up there, with Lee Ving.

I actually always really liked the two-tone brown interior / hallways of that flophouse he lives in (genuinely wanted to decorate my old house based on that).

It's a great time capsule of how 42nd Street used to be (also recommend The Warriors, Times Square, The Exterminator, and maybe Q: The Winged Serpent, and God Told Me To, if you're looking for period decorating tips )

But yeah, I'll probably forego the wicker basket with conjoined twin / old Iggy Pop detail, for nightmare reasons.

The question was the worst stage name, not the worst persona.

Man, when I was visiting Fat Dog guitars in Berkeley, he'd have these things called "Jizzcasters."

Looking back, they were pretty funky instruments.
He'd have vintage parts. A bunch of potheads would get super high and slap them together.
I still think about a Mustang with Teisco gold foil pickups that I tried back in 2008.
