Kerrang February 1994 - Nine Inch Nails, GWAR and bad band names

Swingin’ on the flippity flop! It's the mid 90s, and we're donning our best flannel, kickin’ it with Ren and Stimpy and checking out Kerrang! To the extreme! Join us as we try to remember the name of our current favourite song! Confusing Steven Tyler for Jarvis Cocker! The Encarta / Cinemania / Music Central triptych of mid-90s CD-ROM excellence! Rediscovering 90s Britpop second divisioners Cast and accusing them of Guns n’ Roses plagiarism! Punky Fish remembered! Other stuff! We investigate what makes a good band name, and how there aren’t any. Aerosmith! The Cult! Gwar! Nine Inch Nails! Redd Kross! And the return of Mother Tongue! All this and a non anecdote about almost going to the inaugural Phoenix Festival. Make sure you listen to find out how that one turned out!   This week's ad is for @Polyphonic_Press Kerrang 482, February 19 1994 (PWM41) Recorded on Feb 6th, 2025
