worst stage names you've ever heard

[lousybassplayer]

A literary one I always liked- Oedipus and the Motherf--kers.

That's good.

 

[JimmyM]

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick, and Titch.

Tsk.

I did a couple gigs with those guys a few years ago! Great bunch of guys, and Dave Dee and I had a couple really great conversations. RIP Dave.

How about these two names?

Sid Vicious
Johnny Rotten

There is an oldies band called Phil Dirt & The Dozers.

My band jokes around sometimes that our stage names are:

Peter Morningwood
Craven Morehead
Rumple Foreskin

I always wanted to name a band Cliff Hanger & The Hangnails.

Another thing we do is say our stage name is our middle name and the name of the street we live on. My stage name would be Danny Songbird.

My current band is calling itself Feedback Johnny and the Disappointments. So we joked that Disappointment was our last name and we were Major, Bitter, and Damn. The one member of the band who doesn't sing is Johnny, the lead guitarist. Also, Major quit. So now we're just Bitter and Damn.


Woody Post
Robin Graves
Muhammed Chang

Leggs Diamond
Buster Hymen

Buster Hymen and the Penetrators . Real band name I heard years ago. I have no idea how they sounded but the probably left a presence on stage

 

[Mr-Wunderful]

A guy around here used to dress like Hank Jr. and call himself Bofeces.

 

[FromTheBassMent]

Plastic Bertrand

 

[busmandan]

50 Cent

I've always thought of him as 4 Bits.

 

[Hopkins]

Meat loaf is pretty bad

 

[jeffbrown]

Back in the day: John Fifty and Change. At least, that's what he said his name was. Nobody ever really knew. I was part of the change. We were a club band, not terribly good, but it paid cash money for a whole summer. We had a GOOD time....

 

[josiah goldfish]

I call myself 'ignaceous moonbelt', does that count?

 

[grinx]

Herr Pye

 

[Bard2dbone]

A friend of my son's has a band called Hannah Balector and the Cannibals. Her actual middle name is Hannah, but not the rest of it.

How about "The Edge"? Gimme a break...

How about "The Edge"? Gimme a break...

Bono called him the Edge because of his angular facial features; it's not as pretentious as it sounds

Just defending my favourite band

"Bono" isn't that great either.

 

[delta7fred]

Back in the 70s our guitarist and drummer were in a band called the Bombay Cruds, they only found out what it meant at their first gig when a WW2 vet enlightened them (another name for diarrhoea used by British soldiers in WW2).

They immediately dropped the Cruds and just became Bombay, a name they used until the band broke up years later.

 

[El Raro]

Pretty much every member of Avenged Sevenfold has horrendously cheesy stage names..."Johnny Christ, Zacky Vengeance, M. Shadows"...cheese, cheese, cheese.

 

[Waster]

"Bono" isn't that great either.

He was Bonavox of O'Connell Street, then Bono Vox, then Bono. He was part of a surrealist gang that used their own language and gave eachother nicknames. He's named after a hearing aid shop. He didn't like it at first, but then he found out that it meant good voice in Latin again, just a nickname

 

[treekiller]

The Snatch Wranglers.
