Bands whose name could be \'euphemisms\' for rude stuff
 
I ask, cos it's only just occurred to be what 'Pearl Jam' could actually mean.

"Joy Division" -- not exactly a euphimism, but it is a hidden meaning for something both rude and utterly sickening.

Blind Melon, although again, not exactly a euphemism, otherwise fits your bill.

Explain please, I'm listening to Unknown Pleasures right now and I want to know which unknown pleasures they're alluding to.

Great album.

"Joy Division" was a term used by nazi guards. It referred to the section of a concentration camp where they kept all the pretty young females.

Wow. I heard that they were accused of being Nazi sympathisers, was it related to that?

"New Order" is pretty suggestive too.... And I think their first single was released under the name "warsaw" and featured a nazi drummer boy on the cover. Ian Curtis was alleged to have said "Hess was right" at some point on the single, although this is highly debatable.

Knowing the bands political sympathies (northern, old-labour types), it's pretty difficult to believe they were Nazi sympathisers. All I do know is that Ian Curtis was a pretty [censored] wierd guy!

Although there is no proof that these sections actually existed.

Donkey Punch

oh wait, that's pretty straight-forward.

This is kind of a moot point with the discussion at hand. It also sounds like a rather revisionist viewpoint, given the atrocities that occurred.

Boy-oh-boy, I really sent this thread off-topic

Is this what you mean by "euphemism":

These tools were a low-rent punk band from way back. When I heard their name I was offended on about six different levels, heh. Obviously not looking for main stream success, I'll give them that.

offended? heh, I think thats funny as hell

Anyway, 3rd eye blind could be taken a different way I suppose
