    Neither cannibals, nor dead.

    In fairness when their former guitarist was arrest, police found over 80 guns and three skulls in his house

    Neil Young. He must be knocking on for mid seventies now.

    It's the bally ballyness of it that makes it all seem so bally bally.

    New Order was a more correct name since they had a different line up.

    And are religious which makes it even more ludicrous

    Named themselves after a fake band in a New Order video, one of the weirder band name origins.

    King Tubby - Not a monarch and was actually quite a slim man

    Scientist - while being quite handy with electronics and such, had no qualification in any of the sciences. Nor did he rid the world of the curse of the evil vampires or win the world cup, for that matter. Bit of a spoofer if you ask me.

    Ninjaman - while undoubtedly a man, his claims to be a ninja should viewed with sceptisim given his conviction for murder, which would suggest a complete lack of ninja ability
