I saw a flyer for a band call “Piss Factory” in SLC, of all places! ---

Dick Cheese and the Crackers Flatutory Rape Fuck Me, Suck Me, Call Me Helen I’ve seen all of these bands in SF in Club Boomerang. Their names were aboslutely the best thing about them. ---

I think in the ‘60’s there was a band called Pontius Pilate and his Nail-Drivin’ Five. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by The Peyote Coyote \* > \*\*I think in the ‘60’s there was a band called Pontius Pilate and his Nail-Drivin’ Five. \*\* Don’t know about them, but that reminded me of something I saw in the _Book of Rock Lists_ or _Rock Book of Lists_ or whatever it was called, some 20 years ago. There was a list of, I think it was, “weirdest psychedelic band names,” and one of them was Jesus H. Christ and the Nailknockers. Maybe they played on a bill together at some point…? Unfortunately I don’t have the book anymore, as it also had a list of bands names after sexual terms and such. Though I later heard the one about 10cc isn’t true (that it’s the amount of the average male ejaculate - however that’s still supposedly what Lovin’ Spoonful means too). Being well before the death metal bands of the early '90s, a lot of them seem pretty tame now. ---

Around here there’s a band called **The Fags.** You hear about them mostly as the opening act for some other band. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tanaqui \* > \*\* > Rotting Christ > \*\* That’s actually a really good metal band once you get past the name. 😛 I dunno if he ever accomplished his wish, but I had a friend in high school who’s dream for life was to start a band called **Johnny Abortion and the Coathangers**. ---

If look deeply enough into rotten-dot-com, you will find an album cover for a band called **Piles of Dead Jews**. ---

I imagine it would be hard to get some of these bands listed in a family newspaper. I remember the Plain Dealer here in Cleveland used to only list the Butthole Surfers if they were abbreviated “BH Surfers”. ---

There used to be a west coast band called SHARON TATE’S BABY. Case closed. ---

I hadn’t thought I’d hear one worse than **Anal Cunt** , but I gotta give it **Piles of Dead Jews** and **SHARON TATE’S BABY**. Those take it to a new level. I salute you. ---

Who is Sharon Tate and why is her baby so offensive? ---

Sharon Tate was an actress and Roman Polanski’s wife. She was murdered by the Manson family (Charles Manson’s “cult”). She was eight months pregnant at the time of her death. She was stabbed in the womb. ---

I’ve always liked the name of the band **Fuckpriest Fantastic**. And **Fuck** is a nice, mellow band when you get past the name. ---

Not a particularly bad band name, but I knew this band called The Thoroughfare Sandbaggers who had two songs called “Fist-Fucking Baby Jesus For Crack Money” and “Tori Amos Deserves a Good Knife Fuck”. ---

I think there have been worse names in this thread, but the discussion wouldn’t be complete if I didnt mention **Meat Beat Manifesto**.
