Band Name Origins:
- Actually, it the name was on the drum set in New Order's 'Touched By the Hand Of God' video, the one where the band is parodying the hair-metal bands popular at the time. Submitted by: 59052
- The Killers took their name from a fictional band name written on the drum in New Order's "Crystal" video. Submitted by: Clair
Why the Name is Stupid:
- The name just seems like it's a lame attempt to seem threatening... if not, then perhaps it's a reference to Jerry Lee Lewis. Submitted by: The Skuz
