Stage names ... they are gay

[lurch70]

Why oh why?
They are so corny ... they are ok if you are 16 and start a band, but when you are established already???

Who started it all?
I remember Venom as one of the first with the cheesy ones ... they sounded cool and still somewhat do ... for Venom. Bit then every wannabe "evil" band had them.

Even Negura Bunget ... I'll be the first to say it ... Negru, Hippopotamus's Disciple? ... come on

what's your take on this?

 

[Captain Beard]

How tall are you?

Oh, and I find it amusing.

 

[boo berry]

I think my favorite is Satanic Tyrant Werewolf

 

[KILL TULLY]

I like them when they arn't completely serious.

ie: Tom Angleripper is a fuckin' sweet example.

 

[lurch70]

well that incorporates his first name ... so that one is cool.
I am more talking about the completely assinine ones.

 

[KILL TULLY]

I think the originals wheren't that bad either for some reason...

Euronymous
Dead
Hellhammer...

they just seem less corny because they where the originators I guess.

 

[NAD]

The serious ones are pretty queer, the goofy ones are pretty UNRULY.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Lost Horizon have the gayest ones by far. Pity because their music rules.

 

[Hell Mike]

HELL MIKE MOTÖRBIKE

 

[lizard]

hell mike motorbike is just a funny nick, not some pretentious "I'm so evilly evil that a normal name cannot contain my evilness."

I refered to myself as "Marksveld" in Noltem. Three weeks later, I stopped.

 

[Ellestin]

Necronudist made me grin a few seconds, until I heard the actual music (which band was it? )

Otherwise, can't say I care. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Now you're free to find it gay to have a stage name, why shouldn't you? My experience of boards teaches me that, in a way or another, we're all someone else's gay.

According to some I'm gay for voting Agalloch over Bathory, on another board I'm gay for liking my beer mixed with coke (only once in a while mind you).

As a matter of fact I think people who display a raven as their avatar are lost to heterosexuality. See? Such a subjective matter, gayness.

That sounds fucking horrible.

Although I do feel compelled to defend the Royal Raven dammit!!!

 

[Ayeka]

I refered to myself as "Marksveld" in Noltem. Three weeks later, I stopped.

I can't imagine calling myself Ayeka in a band

Stagenames are cool when they're...cool like Ace Frehley! I don't think I even spelt it right!

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

I think the original Stage names were what kiss called them selves. Or surnames I guess.

The Starchild
The Spaceman
The Demon
The Cat


oh and yes Lost Horizon has the wierdest but yes they rule.

 

[lizard]

except now that the Pole is back in and the singer is gone, who knows what will happen!!

 

[NAD]

Festus Clamrod and the El Sobrante Twangers
Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys
Carlo Von Sexron

 

[futile]

Blaps Warmonger
Cybord Slut
Human Hating War Machine
Psychdroid Shitfux

^ All from local band here in NZ called Backyard Burial.

Funily enough theire music is pretty good.

 

[Lee_B]

hehe. I had the stage name of Cyril B. Palsy in my first ever band (Chainsaw Enema).

We did a demo called "More Thrash Than a Spastic in a Swimming Pool" and virtually every song was, in some way, about having a poo. At 15, that's pretty much all I knew about...
