I can understand being drunk/high enough to come up with names like these and think they were really great but I don't understand how you remain drunk/high for long enough to like register a domain name and plaster the name all over your merch etc.

Spruce Bringsteen. Not a real thing, just had to get it out of my head. I'm sorry. The funny thing about this one is that if you say it quickly enough, it's easy to miss.

Wevie Stonder (wow my autocorrect hates that name) is a bad name but the music was sometimes good.The Beatless were a big beatles tribute band in the 90s.

I just remembered that there's a Japanese band called Sex Machineguns? Which I admit I find amusing. Don't know what they sound like though.

Brian Jonestown Massacre can get grandfathered in, also the name sort of works for their particular brand.

DAVE: We're thrilled to have the great Neil Peart here for the conclusion of Drum Solo Week. And for the occasion, we whipped up this little something:Dave holds up a bottle of Neil Peart Plus shampoo.(The audience offers tepid laughter. Off camera we hear an angry Alan Kalter. He is not happy with the audience response.)ALAN: "Oh, are you kidding me? Come on! What's wrong with you people?!"DAVE: "Alan, what's the matter with you?"ALAN: (to the audience): "That's it? That's all you ungrateful bastards can come up with, a charitable little mercy laugh? They brilliantly combined Neil Peart's name with a popular shampoo and conditioner in one! Don't you get it? Mark my words, 'sdd'holes, next time you don't laugh, I'm coming out there and fighting every one of you. (to Dave) Now, Dave, say it again!"DAVE: "I don't think we need to do the . . .
ALAN:" DO THE DAMN JOKE!"DAVE: (Dave sheepishly holds up the bottle): "It's Neil Peart Plus"The audience responds enthusiastically.ALAN: "That's what I thought . . . idiots."
