Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem

[Myridian]

Hi all,

I've had this obsession with knowing which rockers inspired Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. I've found one site that talks about the namesakes of the different characters (http://members.tripod.com/~muppets/mayhem.html), but I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas about the fusion of different musical personalities that formed the characters in this wildly cool band.

Thanks

I like the Electric Mayhem.

Cool link! But they seem to be missing my main man Floyd!

Floyd

I Know! I can only assume that whoever made the page thinks Floyd is too obvious (being Floyd Pepper).

Yo.

"While an obvious reference to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album carries over into Floyd's wardrobe, he doesn't seem to be modeled after any particular person. Floyd is of course, pink, a la the English band of The Wall fame."
And the main page
Hope zat is of some help.

Floyd Pepper

Hey HeraLirambar

That definitely helps.
You know, I don't think that any of the characters are lifted whole cloth from particular musicians. I'm really curious about what the inspiration was though.

Cheers,
