worst stage names you've ever heard

[mexicola17]

I love Avenged Sevenfold but I hate their stage names. Apart from Johnny Christ.

Jism.
Yeah, that's right. A grown man wanted to be called "Jism".

Thats the name of one of the teen contestants on the biggest looser, I could not believe his parents named him that. WAIT, it was "Chizum"...but still!

 

[JTFormula]

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

There's a band local here called Barry and the Penetrators.

We once called ourselves "Godzilla Jones and the Tokyo Stomp" for a Halloween gig.

Another name to add to the list: Tesco Vee

 

[echoSE7EN]

We auditioned a guy that called himself, and wanted to be called, "Mike the Wombat". He didn't get the gig.

In a little comedy routine/music thing me and a buddy used to do for friends, he was the Chamealoen and I was Jack the Nipple.

 

[NOT]

I saw The Adicts play at a fairly small bar. The opening band consisted of a Kevin, David, Drew, and Nacho.

How about “Sting”

something to do with a black and yellow striped sweater he wore to an audition once, I think.

Enrico Latino, local one man band
Freddie Van Dango
Ric O’Shea

I’ve been given two neither of which I am particularly enamoured with.

“Flash” Too complicated and boring to explain, but doesn’t involve exposing myself, thankfully only one or two people remember that one, a recent one

“MILF Magnet”. With reference to the fact that four gigs in a row I got hit on by 4 different really drunk 40 something’s. Two of which got very R rated, on stage, mid set.

Let me tell you, it’s hard to play, be gyrated on and laugh at the same time. The singer has started to introduce me as such, she thinks it’s F***ing hilarious, Arghh. This one appears to have glue, unfortunately.

We dont usually have stage names but we rename all our songs.

some titles include:

pelicans are sluts
Gypsies are not ghosts
Cat Hands

 

[COBRARI]

Saw a old decrepid bus sitting in a field years ago that had the following painted on the sides....
The Red Eyed Boogie Band,
Featuring "Dirty Legs".
Had a painting of a gal who had dirty legs.
This was somewhere in the S.F. Bay area.

Butthole Surfers
The Tubes had members with dumb-ass names.
Prairie Prince, Fee Waybill, Quay Lude, etc.

The band i'm in now is Alien Bozo and the Bloodstained Clownshoes. We were going to call it Therapy but that was taken. I wanted to call it S*IT but the guys said that was offensive.

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

I was waiting for someone to bring up these guys. From what ive heard though theyre pretty cool guys off stage. Theyre also my favorite band so... just me defending them.
R.I.P. Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan.

 

[Big B.]

I am the music director for a burlesque group and we've had some pretty interesting stage names for guest musicians. Two of my favorites were Dick Licorice and Buster Buttonhole

 

[Goatee220]

Pontious Pilate and the Nail Drivin' 5

 

[butchblack]

I was asked to sing Happy Birthday to "Harry Mann"

I kind of laughed it off as "a good one... mr customer"

During the break, learned that it truly was his name and he was hyper sensitive about jokin it.

Egg on me.

I used to work in photofinishing. A customer left off a roll of film under the name Peter Dick. I was expecting it to be porn, it wasn't. I was ready to give him grief over dropping film of with a pseudonym like that. He paid by credit card and his name actually was Peter Dick. Makes you wonder what his parents were thinking way back then.

 

[Tele295]

I know a guy who calls himself Ziggy True.

The same Ziggy True that works with Elexus Quinn???

 

[thorplaysbass]

I call one of my drummer friends, "Corn Pone"
If you knew him, you'd know why

 

[Baron Von Vik]

I call my old drummer "T-rex," not because of how he drums but how he runs. Picture that if you will. Of course I'm the Baron, and our singer-guitarist was " the Van" or alternatively "Man-wagon" which is an even more convoluted story.

 

[Gazman]

George Washingmachine and the Dead ringers

 

[fishtx]

Mylo Hangingsack...

 

[Bassammich]

played in a band that was called "Tam and the pons" if we would have made an album it would have been "Toxic Shock" same band then changed our name to "Rosie and The Buds"
