Story time. Many years ago, shortly after my punk band stopped performing, I decided I wanted to self-release a small number of instruental sludge metal cassettes under the name Horrifying Death. Just for fun. Number them, give them away, whatever. Not even sell them.
Anyway, I asked my Dad to do me a favor. Just on a small cassette size piece of paper, draw something for the cassette art. He's a decent artist. He's retired. I don't feel too bad about asking him to do this for me. I'm not asking for a Rembrandt. I tell him it can be whatever he wants. Keep in mind the band is called Horrifying Death.
Maybe a month or two later he comes to me with a bunch of professionally laminated, cassette size squares of art. At the top in semi-metal lettering it says, "Horrific Death". Fucking Horrific Death! Lol. With a head wearing a hat like Slash's hat, coming out of a grave.
Two things. I fucking hate Guns N' Roses. And two, the band is called Horrifying Death, not Horrific Death! Lol whatever. It wasn't anything serious anyway. Just stupid music hobby shit.

The Stuffed Animals
Story time #2. I once asked my significant other if she would like to start a two-man synth pop band with me called The Stuffed Animals. She wasn't very interested.

Our crappy band some friends and I had back in the mid 90s:
Flush
I always thought about doing a solo synth project called Helsinki Sweden after the clueless news anchor in Die Hard. Never went anywhere.

Pagan Sluts From Hell Ish-Kabibble
In 1981, me and friends started a band that never made it out of the garage. The one cool thing about the band was the name
Faith No More
The real Faith No More's debut album came out four years later.
