Yup, but I think CTA told them they couldn't use that name anymore.
Morrissey - "Suedehead"

that would be an interesting set of trivia... albums or groups that had to
change their names
rumor has it that STP's original name was Shirley Temple's Pussy, and they
changed it to Stone Temple Pilots to avoid lawsuit... although the rumor that
KMFDM stands for Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode is false. =} And Prefab
Sprout's major release had to be retitled in this country to "Two Wheels Good"
because US lawyers balked at it being released under its original name (Steve
McQueen).
At any rate, I'm listening to Starfuckers, Inc. (NIN), which for some
inexplicable reason had to be censored before MTV would play it.

Very strange indeed.
NIN, "The Fragile", "left" disc.
(The story I'd heard about the Stone Temple Pilots is that they had put a
bunch of STP stickers [as in the fuel additive] on their gear, and ended up
making up a bunch of names to fit the initials)

The band currently known as Green Jelly used to be Green Jello (with an umlaut
over the o, no less), but were forced to change it. Don't ask me why I know
that.

many many moons ago there was a pretty darn good detroit band called
the rhythm method. they changed their name to rhythm corps when they
started getting almost-national attention.

Listening to 'The Pirate Song' by Grey Eye Glances, who by coincidence had
to change their name from Sojourn because another band already had that one.
So the took their new name from a Edgar Allen Poe poem.
Speaking of Chicago, I always thought '25 or 6 to 4' had one of the best
guitar solos in it.

I thought that was 'a ragged baby'? doesn't make sense, but that's
what it sounds like to me..
haven't heard any of the original Chicago Transit Authority to claim it
was superior.. I grew up on their pop jazz stuff, and I liked it, so
you can just stick it if you've got a problem.
sugary and sometimes a bit saccharine, but hey-- very pleasant to
listen to-- 13, I believe (which was the one of them painting the logo
on the cover from a scaffold) is the one I like.. lot of hits from that
album.

("Insane Clown Posse" is a Detroit rap act. Two guys, who typically wear
clown makeup over marginal facial hair, are somewhat confused over whether
they should be baddass or funny)
