::Strange Band Fact::

LostProphets' vocalist Ian Watkins shares his name with one of the guys from Steps. (poor Bastard, luckily the one from steps is not on musical par with Ian from LostProphets)

The DJ from LostProphets is called Jamie Oliver, I think you can all guess who he shares his name with.

What other Weird Facts are there?

Glenn Hughes, one-time bass player for Deep Purple and vocalist for Black Sabbath very briefly, shares his name with one of the original Village People.

Bette Nesmith invented Liquid Paper, not Twink. (Unless you're using Twink as a generic term to mean correction fluid.)

The late Jon Lee of Feeder shared his name with Jon Lee from S Club 7

how do you know that?

no comment

I imagine a scenario like this:

"Woohoo! Jon Lee of Feeder has a cool new side project called S Club 7! Excellent!"
[Runs out and buys the entire S Club 7 back catalogue, goes home and starts to play "S Club".]
"Hey? WTF?! That's not him! Dammit!"

Actually, here's an strange band fact about S Club 7.

The S stands for Spice, as in the Spice Girls. The Spice Girls manager originally envisioned a TV show starring the Spice Grils called "Miami Spice". But after they fired him he decided to not let the Miami-based TV show idea go to waste and created S Club 7. It is said that in the early episodes of "S Club Miami," it's possible to figure out which Spice Girl the lines were written for.

I know of 2 excellent bands, Deftones and Helmet, that share similarities in their songs.
The Deftones have a song called Street Carp and that Helmet have a song Street Crab and the lyrics to a deftones song 'korea' are "...downtown pony work your pitch... ...got my teacher now carve your niche.."
And the lyrics to a Helmet song 'tic' are " Wearing slim fast you carve your niche Lean smug back and work your pitch"

Bob Dylan's real name is Robert Zimmerman. He took his stage name from the Welsh poet and alkie Dylan Thomas.

Bob Dylan was from Minnesota. I went to school with a girl whose grandmother was good friends with Bob Dylan's mother. When I drive from my house to my parents' house, I take the legendary Highway 61 (which is mostly filled with car dealerships now).

Wow. That's cool!

Elton Johns original name was Reginald Dwight... yes i know its very sad i know this but my mum really likes him... but i can see why he changed his name. :P

Fred Durst looks like and most probably is one of the members in New Kids On The Block. The pop group career failed so he had to turn to nu-metal.
