Bootsy Collins.

"The" Edge just goes by Edge while off duty.

Either way it's a dumb name.

I always thought Thomas McRocklin was the worst stage name ever.


I'd blame it on his being 11 at the time, but we all know it was Vai's fault.

rcain: Balsac the Jaws of Death

No no, the thread for best names is over there ->

Meat Loaf is one of the most perfectly descriptive names in music, and it makes for a good Rocky Horror joke.

Flea's last name

"The Pelvis"

Yngwie Malmsteen

/fortunatley his name doesn't detract from his music

huh huh huh...humperdinck.

Mojo Nixon, Jello Biafra, and Country Joe.

dillenger69: Yngwie Malmsteen

/fortunatley his name doesn't detract from his music

No, but his assholishness does.

\"music"??

Lux Interior of the Cramps

Us old farts know the answer:

?

John Denver

Kyosuke: ?

& The Mysterians. Really, one of the greatest band names ever.

My vote

dillenger69: Yngwie Malmsteen

Everyone knows that's the Swedish phrase for "opening act."

/old joke
//but god, I still love it

Hands down: Jello Biafra
(It pops, DKs live).

Jello Biafra. Or, any number of former and current members of the Forgotten Rebels:

Mickey De Sadist
Pogo a gogo
Larry Electrician
Al Mocambo (maybe obscure, except for Torontonians)
Chris Suicide

For group names: Butthole Surfers.

Captain Beefheart
Zoot Horn Rollo
Antennae Jimmy Semens
The Mascara Snake
Rockette Morton
Drumbo

...and that's just one band.

Bruce Springsteen

Courtney Cox-Zucker: dillenger69: Yngwie Malmsteen

Everyone knows that's the Swedish phrase for "opening act."

/old joke
//but god, I still love it

Never heard that before.

Eloeled.

Both "the Edge" and "Bono" are terrible names. Not coincidentally, U2 sucks.

Courtney Cox-Zucker: dillenger69: Yngwie Malmsteen

Everyone knows that's the Swedish phrase for "opening act."

/old joke
//but god, I still love it

I thought it was Swedish for "pointless wanking."

/unleash the farkin' fury
//I still lawled at yours

Buckethead

Lil' ________(fill in the blank)
Big Boi
Chingy
Del tha Funkee Homosapien

HUMPERDINCK! HUMPERDINCK! HUMPERDINCK!

Kringlebert Fishtibuns

Engeldink Humperbert

It's either Hump or Death

Humperdink?

Not Humperdink. Hump or death. You have ten seconds to decide. hump-death, hump-death, hump-death, your time is running out!!


/Englebert Humperdinck is fricking ridicious
//Think of this scene every time I hear that name

Anyone from FEAR, take your pick:

Lee Ving
Derf Scratch
Spit Stix

Zakk Wylde. It's farking stupid-sounding.

Guy Mann Dude is simultaneously one of the worst and one of the AWESOMEST.

Maybe not goofy, but certainly lame:

"Dimebag" Darrel

Sweet, you're named after a small sack of weed. You rule.

/too soon?

Considering it's been 3 1/2 years, probably not too soon.

How about just about everyone from the black metal scene?

/loves me some black metal
