Worst band name you have ever heard.

[Danny O Danny]

Many years ago I was in a band called Rosie Palmer. We had bumper stickers that said "Til You Go Blind". We played in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. A question we were often asked was, "Where's Rosie?" by folks assuming that must be the name of a female singer.

I think in a good bad kind of way: Guys Who Like Snacks

 

[Lardass5000]

NunzCunz

 

[Wood and Wire]

Nerf Herder (or anything taken from the Star Wars, Marvel or DC universes. c'mon, folks... come original... at least try)

Although I feel "Dianogah" get a pass for going obscure, and doing so in a pre-Internet era.

 

[Lardass5000]

Meat Raffle.

Dang! I love that name!

 

[Rojd]

Hey! The Butthole Surfers were great!

A band who's name I can't repeat here, but A*** C***.
Bet they had a time booking gigs.

I saw A*** C*** back about 1992 opening for Brutal Truth! Haha.

The Dead Kennedys. Great punk, totally callous name.

Theres actually a meaning beyond the shock value of the name. Jello said that he saw a distinct change in America that started with the Kennedys being killed. They were making music about that new era and all of its problems, so it was fitting as the starting point of all that followed.

Great band...and the name was perfect. I saw them at the Channel in Boston, that place was huge and it was packed, Ann Magnuson and Mark Kramer (the only person I ever saw who played a fuzz violin Beatle bass Correctly.) Doing their big cover song on TV!

I used to play there with several different bands during the early 80's, a band I was in called The Fans was the headliner on a Tuesday night and we had maybe 13 people.

There’s tons of supremely awful names in the death/gore metal genre.

Yep, Anal C*nt (I'm very sorry) being the worst I think I've heard. Gerontophilia probably coming in second place.

Gorgasm

I used to play with a drummer (of course) who was in a band called, ready? Mass Eruption! (Mass was the old abbreviation for Massachusetts), I laugh every time I think of it. Anytime I'm in a new band situation and we start tossing around names I pull it just to get a reaction and it gets plenty. Got any really bad band names that can rival that one? I shudder as I await your bad names.

We played two shows with this band “BPM” more than a decade ago. Once here in NC and ran into them again playing the same stage as us at Bayfest in Mobile Alabama. Ok not a terrible name but to me it was very misleading. Hearing the name I immediately thought speed metal/thrash or something like that. As in beats per minute. It was actually an abbreviation for “Bullet Proof Mushrooms”. They were a reggae/ska type band. They were actually pretty damn good from what I remember.

I just remembered my younger brothers high school band: “George’s Bush”.

That was a great band. So they get a pass.

 

[Tom Bomb]

The Band​

 

[Elmarito]

Gawd help these guys, "Three N#*%rs and a Ch@?k" can't even write it. Sixties Vancouver group with Tommy Chong.

I'm sure this has been shared here countless times. Band Name Maker

That did not stop me from sharing it again.

I can't remember the exact timeline, but about 15 years ago, a friend of mine created a name generator as a joke, that converted your name to what it would be, were you inducted into the Wu-Tang Clan...

Literally nobody noticed that blog / website, and it got so little traffic he completely forgot about it.

Turns out actor / rapper Donald Glover stumbled across it recently, and became "Childish Gambino".

 

[MegaSwing]

Paper Cup.

And it was among the most popular bands in town. Go fig'r.
