Supreme Dicks, and, since we’ve been going around the corner, the infamous Bloody Stools.

How could I forget! I saw Evil Beaver in concert about a year ago. They were opening for a band I had actually heard of. :slight_smile:

Do you know that for sure? What does it refer to?

I can’t believe I forgot the Meat Puppets. I bought Meat Puppets II in 1985.

Not exactly genitalia, but there is (was?) a Portland band called <b>Sweaty Nipples</b>.

When Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie played at the Rose Garden a few years ago, the open band was called (iirc) <b>Prick</b>.

Shameless plug:

Doctor Kissinger’s Homemade Chocolate Penises

Al Jourgensen (Ministry), Luc Van Acker, Richard 23 (Front 242) mid-eighties Belgian alternative side-project (mentioned in the OP).

Meat Beat Manifesto?
Vibrators?

I’m spent.

47

to me it means an unshaven vagina

48

Am I really the first to mention Cream?

So that’s what Pearl Jam means? I had no idea.

These are more reproductive than genital:
The Cramps
The Breeders

It’s not “Anal Cunts.” It’s just “Anal Cunt.”

51

Um, I believe Pearl Jam got their name from Eddy Vedder’s grandmother, Pearl, who used to sell her homemade jam, or something like that.

52

I wasn’t referring to the band’s inspiration - just pointing out that their name Pearl Jam is indeed a euphemism for semen, in fact I was aware of the term long before I’d heard of the band.

As for the story about Grandma Pearl’s homemade jam, that may be true, although it seems like a strange coincidence that they’ve innocently picked a name that happens to have a crude alternative meaning.

I don’t know Eddy Vedder’s intention, but if I were to name my band Pearl Necklace, for example, then part of the fun would be pretending that my band’s name meant nothing other than my favourite piece of jewellery - but that’s just me.

53

Gasp It’s not covered on snopes!

Now, what I heard was the “Grandma Pearl’s hallucinogenic jam” story was a joke on the fans, and that the name is an homage to Earl “The Pearl” Monroe’s basketball-playing abilities.

However, here’s what Eddie Vedder himself says, according to this FAQ:

Did the band ever say it means that? I used to listen to Scruffy the Cat way back when.

More bands:

Meatmen
Pee Shy

…and there was a local band in Indiana in the '80s called Boner Optics that performed a song called “Penises.”

55

And I think Vedder is trying to put up a smokescreen around the name Pearl Jam. Maybe he wishes they had picked something more cerebral.

i did not know we had to have hard evidence about the bands names referring to genitals…if we did half the entries will have to be removed i bet
