A really horrible band name would be...
NSFW
I can see it. A group made up of cubicle dwellers getting their bad boy outlaw kicks by playing some rock. "Yeah, we're really into They Might Be Giants...motherfucker!"

Does anyone else have both a really bad band name AND the concept that would accompany it?

1. Caligula and His Ramrods. Our concept was to be bad
And we were. We were really, really bad.

20. Thinking about it, I may be in possession of one of Caligula's ramrods...
years ago, a friend gave me a guitar steel. This thing is six inches long and bullet shaped. And it must weigh 4 or 5 pounds. When he gave it to me, I said, "Holy fuck, Thomas, this looks like something from Caligula!"
Needless to say, I don't use it on my lap steel (or for any other purpose)

7. LOL!!! And I guess the concept would be...self improvement? Seems so...
since:
they introduced the workout headband and sweatbands into rock visuals
so many of their lyrics read like pop psychology self affirmation stuff

14. A group in high school came up with "Laceration" for the talent show.
Typical late-1980s garbage.

Mind you, in 1989, any 'talent' was another kiddie rock band by a bunch of boners who could only generate tacky noise with expensive equipment.

28. The Most Pitiful Band Name I Have Ever Heard
was "Hot and Cold Drink Vending Machine." Seriously.

Personal favorite, however, is "Burn Victims." I just wish I played heavy metal so I could use it.
