    My number one takeaway from the clip is that Mike really shines when given a chance to talk in an interview and the band should put him out front more promoting the band.

    Agree with Mike.

    It's still a better band name than "Dale Earnhard Jr. Jr. "

    I hear from time to time that Pearl Jam is an awful name too. It's all subjective.

    It's almost like something a weird 13 year old would name their fantasy team or twitter handle. Eddie was twenty years ahead of his time in that respect...cause you know something that odd had to be his idea.
