[Lisarocket]

Maybe that's where he got his kit from

 

[damnhippie]

Maybe that's where he got his kit from

in case you were wondering, i didn't just see this written on his bass drum & assume it was his name

 

[seeformiles]

Didn't everyone in Kenicke have funny names? I thought the drummer "Johnny X" was a great one!

 

[stavros]

Johnny X was just Lauren Laverne's brother. The three girls all went by their regular names I think.

Ol' Dirty Bastard wins it for me, but I'd like to mention Iggy Pop and Fruit Bat as well.

 

[Annierak]

Iggy Pop

 

[rikwakefield]

Jah Wobble

 

[danny la rouge]

John Lennon.

No, all stage names.

Black metal names don't count until they get a girlfriend. so realistically they don't count at all.

 

[William of Walworth]

I like Fraggle from Back To The Planet

(both the name, and the bloke )

 

[John Quays]

Oh come on with you, it's easy to carp. They've all got lovely ladyfriends.

Gaahl? Necrobutcher?

Lord Mysterium from Otargos?

Seriously though I reckon Albert Witchfinder and Peter Vicar from retro-doomsters Reverend Bizarre are pretty smoking names.
