This is crazy (lol) to see because just yesterday I read the entire Crazy Town Wikipedia page.

The main two dudes are Epic and Shifty Shellshock.

Another band member went by Rust Epique.

Rust left the band to make a new one called Pre)Thing - that's how I got there, I was looking for the artist Praything. Pre)Thing released 1 album...a month after Rust died from an aortic rupture.

My favorite part of the read: they refused to give their label control of their website (crazytown.com, which is gone now) so the label wouldn't let them put it on the album art. So they added an outro track....called www.crazytown.com ...and on it they just repeat the URL for a minute and a half.

I've been down a stupid Crazy town rabbit hole and I missed that. Thank you.

Looked up the band to get the name (Shifty Shellshock) and found this gem from 2023. This band needs therapy

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

Lmao that was a trip. Nice little concert spot though.

I saw them get booed off stage at an ozzfest, it was awesome

I have a hard time believing that someone could get visibly upset at a band's name.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

Visibly upset = "are you serious? What the fuck kind of name is that?"

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I get it, but considering there are so many weird band names out there that make little sense, Crazy Town is mild. It's a town that's crazy in imaginationland, what about it?

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

It's not weird enough, just cringe.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Butterfly is a great song! Your brother has terrible taste in music. It's their only great song, but it's great nonetheless.

Huh? Are you feeling okay? Do you smell toast

IDK why I was thinking of Sugar Ray.
