I'd like to add Skerik (sax madman), Eenor (guitarist from Les Claypool's Frog Brigade) and of course BUCKETHEAD! Great list though. HUGE BONUS POINTS for including Pigpen! :)

Flea! Ha! That's a funny name! But to be honest, I've heard weirder. For example, Mushroomhead, Hoobastank, Korn - they ROCK! - anyways, they arn't on the list.

Sizemore: Buckethead. Damn it! How could I forget a guy who wears a KFC bucket and a kabuki theater mask?
Cartman: Gross name. Is he related to NASCAR great X@@##! Trickle?
Ripped: I considered Slash, but the name seems so natural for him. Turbonegro is brilliant! Isn't that what Jessee Owens' buddies called him?
Weasel: I love Bootsy. It's such a cute name. He has to be a good guy with that name, right?
Werewolf: I was just going with individual's names, not bands, but if I had been going with goofy band names, Korn with a K would be in there, along with Bread and Air Supply.
Diana: What the heck is up with that song? I just looked it up after you mentioned it. It sounds like a couple of bickering fry cooks at a Gyro joint.

Loudon Wainwright III anyone? Loved the comment about the Edge. The band have a mate who paints called Gugsy. Hows about Mick Jagger, now that is taking stupid to a new level.

I have one from my early high school days(mid-60s); Hedgehoppers Anonymous. They were a one-hit wonder with "It's Good News Week".

Freak: Thanks!
Ham: Yes! Let's start up that name for her. Put it on her Facebook, or something.
Rap: Gugsy sounds like a good name for a British bulldog.
Rapsux: Nasty, indeed. Wonder what it tasted like?
Card: Hedgehoppers Anonymous? like hedges of bushes? Jumping over them? Hmmmmmmmmm. I guess I too would be anonymous about being really into that.
