I have a distinct memory of going to a school band night and seeing a band called, "Grandads Last Erection!"

I also have a friend that renamed their band, "Vojtech Stanely" after a person they used to go to school with just because they randomly saw him being quoted saying something stupid in a national newspaper article.

I went to see "Terminators of Endearment" in the Bay area about 10 years ago

And on and on and on....

That gives me an idea:

Thanks, Mike.

There's actually a Fender connection (somewhat) to "Anon Anon Anon"; I believe the story is as follows: In the early days of Fender, Don Randall was travelling in the Eastern U.S., trying to promote the then-brand new "Fender Electric Spanish Guitar," AKA the Esquire. At the 1950 NAMM Show in Chicago, Al Frost of National Guitars spoke with Don about the absolute need for a truss rod in a guitar neck to prevent warping. The Esquire didn't have a truss rod at time, so Don took Al's advice to heart, lest the Esquire become a warped-neck white elephant right out of the gate. For several weeks afterward, Don kept sending letters to Leo about the truss rod issue; however, Leo just ignored Don because he wasn't convinced that a truss rod was necessary. Don grew increasingly frustrated and eventually fired off a letter to F. C. Hall, who was head of Radio-Tel, Fender's pre-Fender Sales distributor. In the letter, Don said to F. C., "If Leo drops the ball on this issue and another company comes out with a properly manufactured solidbody guitar and causes us to lose what little sales and marketing momentum we've had, I shall never forgive him. Tell him to get on the ball IMMEDIATELY IMMEDIATELY IMMEDIATELY!"

ANON ANON ANON!

My favorite punk/trash name that I ever came up with has to be Johnny Steeltoe And The Puppy Kickers. I have long thought that the best band names follow the Johnny Blank and the Blanks template. Simply fill in whatever words fit the band image and style for the blanks. It doesn't matter if no one in the band is named Johnny.
