I have 2 favourite bands. One for metal, one for punk.
Uhh... for Iron Maiden they have a mascot, Eddie, who's been on every album and single cover.
Bad Religion's easier. The singer, Greg Graffin has a PhD and is a lecturer at the University of California.

My all time favourite band is Gorillaz 
This is odd because they're a virtual band..
But according to their book the singer lost both of his eyes, the drummer was expelled from Xaviers' School for being possessed by the soul of a rapper, the bassist is a keen Satanist who lives in a Winnebago and the guitarist is a 13 year old girl from Japan who arrived in England in a FedEx crate.

Well, both members of the White Stripes are not brother and sister. They used to be married. They also go to random areas while they are on tour and play random concerts like bowling alleys and boats.
The lead singer purposely makes the concerts harder on himself by playing old and nearly useless guitars.
The drummer is terrible.

Well, Brandon's not straight edge, but he's still facken' awesome. As is the band.DSEZ said:
Lostprophets is written all as one word (despite what the record label and the BBC think), originated as a side project from a hardcore punk band, the singer was originally a drummer, the bassist originally produced their first few EPs, including Para Todas las Putas Celosas, which translates as "For All The Jealous Whores". They are signed to an independent label and self-produced their last album.
I know too much.
Abingdon Boys School is named after the school Radiohead formed at. Their second album, Abingdon Road, is named after the road adjacent to the school.
The Devil Wears Prada named themselves after the book, before the movie came out, assuming it was about anti-materialisation (without ever reading it). When the movie came out, they learned this was not the case. Also, they are Christian

Facts about In Flames: Their drummer Daniel Svensson likes to run around naked while they're in studio, and has a drunk alias known as Leinad. The singer Anders Fridén is also an avid whisky collector.
That's random enough, right?

It's kind of obvious if you look at the lyrics. Also, adding to that, Bruce Dickinson is also an airline pilot, author and was invited to the Olympic fencing team. Also, Piece of Mind contains several references to brains and minds because it was the first album with the drummer Nicko McBrain.Dr. Awesome Face said:

Ben Folds Five only ever had three members.
on one of their albums, "the unauthorized biography of reinhold messner", the name was chosen because "reinhold messner" was what they used on fake ID's as teenagers. They made up the name off the tops of their heads. during production of the album, they found out that reinhold messner was a real person! he was the first man to climb mount everest without supplemental oxygen.

Behold...The Artcopus has a drummer, a guitarist and someone who plays a Warr Guitar. Think a guitar with a really really really thick neck that has both the bass guitar strings and the guitar strings on it, that you play "touch style" (Just tapping the strings to the fretboard).
It looks amazingly difficult to play, probably because it is! Also, I absolutely love talking about these instruments...
