SurfBandBill Joined: Mar 15, 2006 Posts: 1487 San Francisco	Posted on Mar 31 2008 01:32 PM Good list, but they left off my personal favorite absurd band name: Goblin Cock. Apparently, they're a Spinal-Tap like metal band (in other words, they do NOT take themselves seriously), but supposedly rock in a way metal bands haven't rocked in about twenty years. Either way, they're a great double entendre. ~B~ Top

CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Mar 31 2008 02:30 PM It's hard to pick a favorite off that list, but there's definitely some that have a level of genius to them. (Like Pabst Smear.) Goblin Cock is pretty terrible, unfortunately. There's a hilarious video for one of their songs, and they get points for liner notes that spell out the lyrics on runes, but the music is completely ironic "Look at us we're being METAL" jive that's just as un-rocking as one could expect, seeing as the main dude is from Pinback. "Punk: Attitude" is amazing. -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top

mournblade Joined: Sep 27, 2006 Posts: 328 central Pennsylvania	Posted on Mar 31 2008 09:08 PM supertonesurf the 4 skins they all had shaved heads Weren't they an "OI!" band? I don't know what's more disturbing--the names themselves, or the fact that I've actually HEARD of some of these clowns (like the Crucif*cks, which is, hands down, the most offensive band name I've ever heard). Hey--why aren't The Cramps on that list??? Vince — Is this something you can share with the rest of us, Amazing Larry?!? Top
mournblade Joined: Sep 27, 2006 Posts: 328 central Pennsylvania	Posted on Mar 31 2008 09:27 PM Now, I DID notice that Man. . . or Astroman? is on the list. But are the Space Cossacks??? Nooooooo. . . but the Spacecocks are! Oh! And Satan's Pilgrims??? No--but Satan's Cheerleaders ARE. (Why does that band name sound familiar??? Seriously.) But there are plenty that are conspiculously missing: G.G.Allin and the Sic F*cks 45 Grave (although the side project, Penis Flytrap, IS listed) Lord Hunt and His Missing Finks Skinny Puppy Southern Culture on the Skids etc. Vince — Is this something you can share with the rest of us, Amazing Larry?!?

Vince Vince, I can't remember the band name, but when I worked at a place doing cd distribution, there was a cd ep by a Deathmetal band, and it was titled "F** me Jesus" and there was a very detailed drawing of a naked lady doing very bad things with a crucifix with Jesus on it. Needless to say most of the Catholic Mexicans I worked with did not like it very much. Jeff(bigtikidude) — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
Steve-O-San Joined: Jun 15, 2007 Posts: 127	Posted on Apr 01 2008 04:11 PM There are some that are weird and some that are downright offensive...and intentionally at that. I've heard that Anal C*nt tries to think of the most offensive song titles they can...which is also the case with the Meatmen who intentionally try to offend everyone...women, gays, religious folks, Beatles Fans, children with special needs, etc. Offending people is easy...making good music takes a little effort. ...but any press is good press Top

Im totally diggin' Sylvia Juncosa's "l1ck my pu$$y, Eddie van Halen". oh yeah. and just to prevent Brian from kicking me off the list, there is some surf content here, check out this pic of Sylvia Juncosa: image btw,, planish, are those the Dutch Bingo Trappers?

Best Album from them: It Just Gets Worse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Just_Gets_Worse Random surf connection: John Kozik, who took over the Boston horror surf band 13 Ghosts, which he later turned into The Crimson Ghosts to do nothing but surf covers of Misfits songs, used to play guitar in Anal Cnt. I'm not sure how long he was in the band or for what albums. The first album I ever got in trouble for having at school was one of their albums. It just had a drawing of a woman's open crotch on the cover. At the time it seemed really funny. — The Mystery Men? El Capitan and The Reluctant Sadists SSS Agent #31 Top
