If you're wondering why 200 Stab Wounds is called 200 Stab Wounds, frontman Steve Buhl recently explained that it just sounds good. "It just rolls off the tongue," said Buhl. "It just sounds hard. 100 doesn't sound right, 300 doesn't sound right. So 200."
He continuned: "People have said online that we used to be called 117 Stab Wounds and all, [but] that's not true. We've always been 200 Stab Wounds. There's no real significance to that number. It's just something that sounds good. [Guitarist Lance Buckley] came up with the name, and when we put this band together… I remember him telling me [the name 200 Stab Wounds] years ago and I was like 'we should use that because it's perfect' and here we are."
