Names -> Band Name Origins -> K, Page 2

Do you know why a band picked out it's name? Feel free to let us know.

I can't verify all of these stories, so do take them with a grain of salt. I try and delete the ones that I know to be bogus, but I don't know the origins of every band name (and some bands intentionally tell different stories about picking their band name).

Kyuss the band was actually called sons of kyuss at first, and on their 1000-pressed first lp. the name change came when thier first bass player left and they recruited nick oliveri, aka rex everything, and cut the rest of the 'wretch' lp(which used two cuts from the debut & some re-recorded tracks as well as newer material). some folks have wondered when the monster first appeared in d&d, and it was 1981(greg is correct that it was in the fiend folio). elroy
KYUSS The band hates frat boys and called the band KYUSS to get over on fart-boys, Knowing Your Under Satan's Scrotum.  Bob Smoot
Kyuss There are monsters in a really old Dungeons & Dragons book called Deities and Demigods called the Sons of Kyuss. The band decided to use Kyuss as their band name because they thought it sounded cool. Ben
