Bands with stolen names

salada:
Squarepusher occasionally releases stuff under Chaos AD (the title of a Sepultura album).

Then of course there's



but I don't know if that counts here since the original DM isn't a band?

While we're on it, there's a terrible commercial Kiwi hip-hop crew called the Deceptikonz.

And don't even get started on groups named after various bits of electronics or instruments. Wait, someone's already done Sunn O))). So then there's The Prodigy, DMX (the rapper) and DMX Krew (electro group on Warp), 1200 Techniques and at least one other artist with 1200 in their name.

And no-one's mentioned this guy yet?
