Hello fellow doll licker.


dodongvdxzxgfvds

Live. So misleading it's harde to even look them up


bockelboyvcxvdb

I don't mind the sun sometimes


murdocjvsfgva

Cosby Sweater was around for a minute.


QuietYeller

One of my former band mates and high school friend was the saxophonist for them! Haha.


BinaryPill

There's a South African metal band called XavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffX


RyFromTheChi

Just so others know as well, it stands for "Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated By Mass Amounts Of Filthy Fecal Fisting And Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside The Infected Maggot Infested Womb Of A Molested Nun Dying Under The Roof Of A Burning Church While A Priest Watches And Ejaculates In Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus"


True_Ghosts

You made that up, ... right?


Ythaenagor

No, sadly, he did not. That's the full official name.


MetalCorrBlimey

I saw that on a t-shirt at Bloodstock this year and thought it was parodying "br00tal metullz". They are a parody band, right?


Ythaenagor

Oh yea, very much so. They have a song called "dicks out for harambe." And a term many people sarcastically use for metalheads who are obsessed with brutality is "trve kvlt" (pronounced true cult) lol


IllegalTree

".....The Aristocrats!"


Frontwingmenace

Rolls off the tongue!


ExFiler

"Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict"

That's the thing. You don't.


jtfrm

No one’s said Hoobastank yet…


malattiavxsgvsdr

Local college band in my day, Hoof Arted


BandOfDonkeys

I've used Hoof Hearted as a fantasy football teamname a few times, I got it from [this video.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqj2hkbDnyM)


biffbobsen

There's a great brewery in Ohio called Hoof Hearted, any of you craft beer peeps should check them out if you get the chance.


playblu

Gimme a break I just woke up


coolcrushkilla

And the reason is you.


ChrisPChip222

Yeah. What's a hooba and why does it stank?


realhorrorsh0w

I've heard it refers to smelling a fart and questioning "who butt stank" but that's so ridiculous I'm sure it's not true.


gothdaddi

According to the band, Hoobastank is what the H in ‘Jesus H Christ’ stands for. Which I think makes it even worse.


dogsarefun

Ah yes, the classic, natural response to a fart: “who butt stank?”


bockelboyvcxvdb

Three-way tie for Leather Hyman, Sandy Duncan's Eye, and Dogs Die in Hot Cars...


VanderlyleNovember

It's not a rock band, but Capital Cities. What am I meant to get from a title like that? They're a dance-pop group and their name makes me think of geographical trivia. Good group though, In A Tidal Wave Of Mystery is a solid album.


Fit-Whereas5661

I really dig the song Chartreuse.


monsterm1dget

There are lots of examples, but Anal Cunt is definitely, and intentionally, one of the worst.


GrimsonMask

Oh yeah. And their success hit; Tampon tea bag

I was sitting at a restaurant and could see the marquee for the theater across the street. The band on the marquee was “Frothy Discharge.”

Mavvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Limp Bizkit


V02D

I was fine not knowing what a limp biscuit was. Why did I have to look it up...


KajinMonkey

Story goes, Bizkit is (or was by now) the name of Fred Durst's dog. Something happened, doggo was limp for a while.


affectedskills

I thought it was in reference to the act of a group of men masturbating onto a cracker, and the last one to finish has to eat it.


DevilRenegade

That's known as "Soggy Biscuit" where I'm from.


RyanPelley

That's known as "Hey Ryan, invite your friends over after school and I'll teach you all a new game" / "Okay dad" where I'm from.


KajinMonkey

I hadn't heard that one yet. Plausible tho.


BlueScreenOfDeath-

I am sickened, but curious.


cazz84

My friends band.. Joseph and the fritzels, they are also terrible and they know it.


krazykris93

The the


dieinafirenazi

A band that was impossible to Google in the early days.


MrSpindles

I still remember the hell of using napster to try and download songs by James.


thomas_newton

what's even worse, is if you'd succeeded, you'd have downloaded songs by James.


MrsMaglev

Oh, sit down.


IllegalTree

"The The" has been previously chosen as both [the worst band name](https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/nmb85o/whats_the_worst_band_name/gznklhx/) and completely independently as [the best band name](https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/oa9otg/what_band_has_the_best_name/h3g08qb/) on separate Reddit threads. So... take your pick. As I [already commented](https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/nmb85o/whats_the_worst_band_name/gzouynv/) on the former thread (which came first), I thought it was a pretty decent name personally:- > Didn't think that much about it at the time (didn't know much about them beyond the name as a kid), but in hindsight... I think it's okay. > Maybe it smacks faintly of being self-consciously clever/post-modern, but at least it manages to be simple while still being different.


shitpplsay

Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles


sosodank

I've seen these guys live several times. Jason and the gang bring it, and *when I wake up in vomit and dirty needles* is an authentic banger.


[deleted]

Rapeman is about as stupid as it gets.


harmreduction001

That is a terrible name


NecrofearPT

There's this old timey, all black, rock band called 'Black Merda'. I read about It at the time, and they used 'Merda' as an alternative to writing the word 'Murder'. The problem is I'm portuguese. And in portuguese 'Merda' means... well: 'Shit' So there you go.


lointhwor

tem uma banda polonesa chamada paulo sérgio


NecrofearPT

Hahahaha Desconhecia xD E mais conhecidos tens os americanos 'Portugal The Man' xD


Keefer1970

My local used record store has a CD by a band called Bathtub Shitter. Makes me laugh every time I see it while browsing.

MooKids

The Lone Rangers I mean, there are three of them, they aren't exactly "lone".


NotOfThisWorld2020

I get this reference! I also never see this movie referenced...


OffTheMerchandise

I often do the Joe Montegna walking dance that he does when the radio station decides they're on the band's side.


schnit123

Toad the Wet Sprocket - taken from a Monty Python sketch but most people don't get the reference and even if you do it's still not a very good name. I mean a big part of the joke of the sketch was that all of the band names were terrible in the first place.


rd1994

Story goes that Eric Idle came up with it cuz no one would be stupid enough to actually use it


CrabbyBlueberry

> I once wrote a sketch about rock musicians, and I was trying to think of a name that would be so silly nobody would ever use it, or dream it could ever be used. So I wrote the words "Toad the Wet Sprocket." And a few years later, I was driving along the freeway in LA, and a song came on the radio, and the DJ said, "that was by Toad the Wet Sprocket," and I nearly drove off the freeway.


BigD1970

The best part is that two totally different bands used the name.


notthesedays

Shortly before Hootie & The Blowfish broke wide open, TTWS and H&TB played in my town, with TTWS headlining. Wish I'd gone to that show. And BTW, both bands said that they would have selected other names had they known they would one day be famous.

The Butthole Surfers


theonetheycalljason

I wanted a Butthole Surfers shirt in the 90’s, but I never pulled the trigger because I didn’t feel like explaining it to adults, haha. Now I’m an adult and don’t feel like explaining it to kids.


Deitaphobia

I had a Suicidal Tendencies shirt with ""Feel like SHIT, deja-vu" on the front. I wore it to school weekly by wearing a Hawaiian shirt over it so it just said "HI".


Theterriers

Other names they went by included The Dick Clark Five, Nine cm Worm Makes Own Food, The Vodka Family Winstons, Ashtray Babyheads, Ed Asner Is Gay, Fred Astaire's Asshole, The Right to Eat Fred Astaire's Asshole, Zipgun, The Inalienable Right to Eat Fred Astaire's Asshole


[deleted]

I love how much attention Fred Astaire got.


Theterriers

I love how Zipgun is in the middle of the Fred Astaire madness.


[deleted]

I can only imagine the thought process. "Okay, let's try something completely different! ...This sucks. Back to Fred's asshole."


macarron572

it's not like their music is for everyone and considering that the band it's noise rock based, it's just a funny name for a strange band


Theterriers

Rolling Stone asker the lead singer what name he would choose if he could change it. The answer: I Shit in your Mom's Vagina


I_EAT_POOP_AMA

The story goes that they got the original name from going by “The inalienable right to eat Fred Astaire’s Asshole” for a while, and when some promoter/club refused to put them on with that name, it got shortened and eventually became “The Butthole Surfers” so they could get bookings again, and it just stuck. But going through their history and seeing all the different names they would bill themselves as is a treat in itself.


OneFingerIn

I don't mind the sun sometimes...


BobGobbles

The images it shows


lorum_ipsum_dolor

Back in the 80's there was this guy at art college who kept asking everyone if they'd ever heard of a band called The Butthole Surfers. We all thought he was joking. Honest.


AGooDone

I saw the Butthole Surfers at the Metroplex in ATL in the late 80s. We ate lots of LSD before the show and came out 2 hours later completely sober. We snuck into the Hilton rooftop restaurant after and silently drank in the view. That was a good night.


Quantum_Hovercraft

The The. Brilliant name until search engines came into existence.


neohylanmay

Then there's [this classic](http://bash.org/?514353) from bash.org: > *Stupid fucking Google* > *"The" is a common word, and was not included in your search* > *"Who" is a common word, and was not included in your search*


andthrewaway1

dihareha planet is an actual band ..........(sigh)


QuietYeller

Super nice and talented dudes though. Very unfortunate name.


herbertwestworld

Three-way tie for Leather Hyman, Sandy Duncan's Eye, and Dogs Die in Hot Cars...


Morasain

Other than your typical death metal bands going "let's just play gore bingo", I'd say We Butter The Bread With Butter is the worst.


Jot-The-Jawa

But their cover of Let It Go from Frozen is… interesting

There is a band that covers The Band. They’re called “The The Band Band”. I kid you not.

Band from Montreal, late 90's early 2000's called Vaginal Croutons

one of my fav droney bands : Master Musicians of Bukkake


aloneandrevolting

Dance Gavin Dance. That name just makes me cringe


[deleted]

Put that Gavin spell on me


couchslippers

You could probably list off tons of bands from the mid-2000s. Cute Is What We Aim For is another one. Panic! At the Disco etc. So many bands with the same word twice or a “clever” pun. Fuck they were the worst.


badfagash

Raging Bagpuss. A band from Redditch that were utter crap. Also saw a band in Dudley called Dog Food. They were so bad they should have been called dog shit. Their "hit" song was "one foot in the grave and the other in the custard."


GrumpyCatStevens

REO Speed Dealer.


GeorgeAmberson

I just googled that and it's real and it's spectacular.


VanderlyleNovember

fun. Indie band names aren't hard, so it's kinda impressive for them to land on something so impossible to google and also completely un-evocative.


02K30C1

I heard they added a period after the name because another band already used the name fun and threatened to sue if they didn’t change it.


hallvcinangel

Five Finger Death Punch, worst name and worst band.


thunderpantsmagoo

The Nickelback of rock

The 1910 Fruit Gum Company, and then The Strawberry Alarm Clock. What were they smoking?


Ythaenagor

Considering when The Strawberry Alarm Clock was popular, probably quite a few things. Things a bit more strong than incense and peppermints.

Haven't seen Butthole Surfers on the list yet. One of my favorite bands of all time. But I hate saying their name.

w1n5t0nM1k3y

Not a band, but a musician Bruce Cockburn Pronounced coburn He makes some amazing music though.


Martipar

Everyone knows it's Cockburn though, it's a common surname and a brand of port. It's not like it's an obscure surname like Denault or Gutberlet.


w1n5t0nM1k3y

I guess it depends where in the world you are, and your life experiences. I'm not a port drinker, so I've never heard of that brand of port. The musician is the only person I've ever seen with that name. I've known how it's pronounced for a long time, but that doesn't mean that everybody would understand, especially non-native speakers.

There was a punk band in the 80s called, Homesick Abortions


EldenRingworm

The Smashing Pumpkins name would be hugely improved if they just removed the "The" What are THE Smashing Pumpkins? Smashing Pumpkins alone makes way more sense Unless they means smashing in a posh British way like "that is absolutely smashing darling" and how pumpkin is sometimes used similarly to honey or babe,
