Question Game. Describe yourself with 3 singers. Favorite book? Words that best describe you? If your world hadn't went to hell in a hand basket, what do you think you'd be doing now? + Sentry Skull

There are so many different versions of all of these boy and all the rest of the kiddies, omg. Wouldn't it be nice if my divergent brain could maintain peace with all the AUs? Whatever; I can just use his baseline personality.

Describe yourself with 3 singers:

Tori Amos; bold and brilliant and with a voice not terribly different from the one in his head in certain circumstances. Does what she wants and doesn't give a damn about other people's opinion. Ed Kowalczyk, lead singer of the band LIVE. Though strictly for the Throwing Copper album of 1994. Bulk once caught him trying to perform on the acoustic guitar in his garage the song "Iris" and mentioned Skull sounded almost spot-on like the artist, "Just give it a couple years." Which was not untrue. David Bowie in his song "Heart's Filthy Lesson" played at the beginning and ending of the movie Se7en. Oh so very symbolic, in his opinion.

Favorite book?:

Gerald's Game, by Stephen King. Not one of his most favored works, not one of his classics, but the reading of it has helped get him out of quite a few more scrapes than he would have otherwise. It's informative and meditative.

Words that best describe you?:

Craft. Cunning. Thinness. Quietness. Mischief. Malaise. Patience. Secrets. Shadow. Allusion.

If your world hadn't went to hell in a hand basket, what do you think you'd be doing now?:

The first thing that comes to mind is having actually comfortable sex, since there is a fair bit of certainty that he would have kept his balls and wouldn't have allowed his prick to be inverted to keep his cover when he joined the wretched Red Sentries all because Drakkon thought it might be easier to keep other captains in line if there was a hole to relieve their stress readily available...

But apart from that...it is a rather difficult thing to imagine--the possibility of his being happy. His background can basically be summed up as "poor white trash with negligent/abusive parents and mental illness that required medication since puberty" when he's feeling generous. His grades in school were mediocre, he had self-esteem issues for days, depression, anxiety, the kind of migraines that could cause blindness; and while he was excellent at music, he would never let anyone actually see him perform...

Of course, hindsight is 20/20. Maybe he could have at least gone to college to major in the humanities, or found love, or had a child. He's seen plenty of other worlds in Drakkon's conquests; he's not unaware that some of his other selves seemed at least content.

35 OF THE MOST OFFENSIVE BAND NAMES EVER

Tim Karan

Tim KaranPublished: March 5, 2015

Play Viet Cong

on Apple Music

No offense, but some people are way too easily offended – especially when it comes to music. While it's true musicians (the relatively famous ones, at least) can make an indelible mark on listeners, it's dangerous to look to them as any sort of moral compass or to consider them role models. Because, let's face it, music is just art – and the purpose of art isn't to push any ideological agenda. The purpose is to elicit a feeling or a thought.

Still, offensive band names sometimes have very real world consequences. An Ohio concert promoter memorably canceled a 2016 show with Canadian indie outfit Viet Cong due to the controversial nature of their name and its connection to the Vietnam War. The members of the band – who'd formed four years earlier – said they didn't even realize the actual origin of the name. To them, the Viet Cong were just typically the bad guys in '80s war movies. However, that seemed to only further anger those who were already outraged. The band subsequently changed its name to Preoccupations.

So, below, we spotlight 35 of the most offensive band names ever. Of course, everybody has a different interpretation of what's over the line (or if a line should exist at all), but to cover our backs, we'll just make this obvious statement: Some of the band names – even censored – aren't exactly the safest for work.35. Butthole Surfers

ButtholeSurfers.com

35. Butthole Surfers

If you're offended by this one, you might have a hard time with the rest of the list. Just FYI. Because we're pretty sure you can say all those words on the Disney Channel.34. Cattle Decapitation

YouTube

34. Cattle Decapitation

The singer in this band looks a little like Ed Kowalczyk, from the band Live. However, he sounds like Cookie Monster, waking from a nightmare in which another, smaller Cookie Monster was trapped in his belly and had somehow clawed his way out.33. A--holeparade

YouTube

33. A--holeparade

What do you call a bunch of profoundly unpleasant people walking in a line down the middle of a road? Whatever you call it, they sure sound angry about something.

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html32. 1000 Homo DJs

32. 1000 Homo DJs

Ministry's Al Jourgensen's side project released a total of two singles, one of which was a pretty slammin' cover of Black Sabbath's "Supernaut."31. Vulvectomy

YouTube

31. Vulvectomy

Um ... ew.30. Gaye Bykers On Acid

Facebook

30. Gaye Bykers On Acid

This band's last studio album was called Pernicious Nonsense. They broke up, but came back in 2016 for a nine-show tour.

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html29. Meat Sh--s

YouTube

29. Meat Sh--s

Was it the tacos? It was probably the tacos. They were a little spicy. Well, okay, they were very spicy. Grindcore doesn't usually make you do that.28. Cancer Bats

YouTube

28. Cancer Bats

These guys actually rock; their song "Hail Destroyer" will get you nodding your head. The person sitting next to you will begin nodding hers, too. Next thing you know, the whole bus will be grooving. To Cancer Bats.27. F--- The Facts

YouTube

27. F--- The Facts

This may be the perfect band for our time. At least, they have the perfect name for our time.

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html26. Jon Cougar Concentration Camp

YouTube

26. Jon Cougar Concentration Camp

It would probably be a lot easier to be angered by the name of this San Diego punk outfit formed in 1994 if it wasn't also kind of outrageously hilarious.25. Heaven Shall Burn

Century Media

25. Heaven Shall Burn

All things considered, it's a pretty reasonable name for a German extreme metal band. It also sounds like it could be a tolerable Keanu Reeves movie.24. Viet Cong

Colin Way

24. Viet Cong

If you're offended by an indie group taking the name of the political group the U.S. fought against in Vietnam, you probably also need to be angry at Joy Division and New Order -- both of which have Nazi connotations.

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html23. The Dicks

YouTube

23. The Dicks

Maybe all the members of this Austin punk group were just all named Richard. Although they did release a live album called Dicks Live! Hungry Butt.22. Diarrhea Planet

Adrienne Deeble

22. Diarrhea Planet

Frontman Jordan Smith said his Nashville punk collective intentionally sought a name that would be "annoying" and "immature" but without "any real cuss words in it" because it would be too obvious. 21. Revolting Cocks

Amanda Edwards

21. Revolting Cocks

Ministry mastermind Al Jourgenson has had plenty of questionably named side-projects (1000 Homo DJs, Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters), but none paint quite the same picture as Revolting Cocks.

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html20. Nashville Pussy

Facebook

20. Nashville Pussy

Call them psychobilly, sleaze-rock or cowpunk. Just don't call this Nashville group anything in front of your mom.19. AIDS Wolf

David Waldman

19. AIDS Wolf

Named for an urban legend about wolves infected with AIDS instead of rabies, the Canadian noise-rock outfit should really hang out more with their countrymen, Cancer Bats.18. Toxic Holocaust

Jaime Robillard

18. Toxic Holocaust

It almost sounds like it could be the name of a Dethklok side-project on Metalocalypse, but it's the real name of a Portland thrash metal band.

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html17. Circle Jerks

Mark Mainz

17. Circle Jerks

If you aren't sure what the name of this legendary hardcore punk unit is referring to, you'll need to take it up with Google (just ensure you're in a private browser).16. Dayglo Abortions

thedaygloabortions.com

16. Dayglo Abortions

It really doesn't matter what word you put before "abortions" even if the word is "stop." Because you're gonna draw the ire of about half the population either way.15. F---ed Up

Michael Buckner

15. F---ed Up

This all really comes down to your perception of the F-word and whether or not it's inherently evil. (We also would've accepted F--- Buttons, Holy F--- or F--- the Facts.)

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html14. The Jesus Lizard

Joshua Black Wilkins

14. The Jesus Lizard

Christians have long had a hard time with these longtime noise-rock purveyors, but "Jesus Lizard" is actually the common name for a South American lizard that can run across water. 13. Dying Fetus

Relapse

13. Dying Fetus

There's an Australian band called Foetus that used to go by "Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel," but since they softened it up, this metal band has the worst fetus-related name this side of Aborted Fetus.12. Dead Kennedys

Facebook

12. Dead Kennedys

The name of one of the most important hardcore punk bands of all time is probably way more offensive to you if you're 83 and/or from Massachusetts.

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html11. Funeral Rape

metal-archives.com

11. Funeral Rape

If you ask us, that photo is almost more offensive than the name of this Italian grind outfit. Still, funeral rape sounds like just about the worst thing a human person could ever do.10. The Slits

Facebook

10. The Slits

Who says gratuitous allusions to sex organs is strictly a boys club? Certainly not the late singer Ari Up or her legendary U.K. post-punk group. 9. Eyehategod

Dean Karr

9. Eyehategod

Obviously, the name of this New Orleans sludge outfit doesn't offend atheists (and only makes agnostics ambivalent). But it should probably offend anyone who's a stickler for grammar.

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html8. Gay Witch Abortion

Learning Curve Records

8. Gay Witch Abortion

Minnesota duo Gay Witch Abortion probably really confuse religious fundamentalists.7. Impaled Nazarene

Facebook

7. Impaled Nazarene

Playing devil's advocate: Just because Jesus was the most famous Nazarene to be crucified, it doesn't mean that's who this Finnish black metal band are referencing. (But it is.)6. Prostitute Disfigurement

Doomstar Booking

6. Prostitute Disfigurement

Here's another one that's probably a moral dilemma for the religious right. Still, this Dutch death metal outfit don't set a pleasant scene.

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html5. Rapeman

Facebook

5. Rapeman

A brief indulgence during the late '80s for Chicago musician/producer Steve Albini, Rapeman took their name from the titular character of a Japanese comic book. But protestors didn't care.4. Cripple Bastards

Shyla Nicodemi

4. Cripple Bastards

Perhaps the word "cripple" means something different in Italy where this grindcore band is from. But it doesn't. And the second word is definitely universal.3. C--k and Ball Torture

Facebook

3. C--k and Ball Torture

Of all the bands here, this German grind trio have the name you should most refrain from Googling. Please believe me.

https://350d449fbcdab27e8597eb74d412fdb1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html2. The Crucif---s

Billy Whitfield

2. The Crucif---s

We had to censor out three letters in their name and they're the three that really hammer home how controversial it is. Still, you get the gist. 1. Anal C---

Relapse

1. Anal C---

Massachusetts grindcore outfit Anal C--- were originally meant to be a one-off gag band when they came together in 1988 and that's why they went with an intentionally abrasive name. But, despite their moniker, they enjoyed a long, prolific run up until the death of frontman Seth Putnam in 2011.
