Harry would later change the band's name many times, from "The Slashtones", to "Life?!
","Not The Slashtones" and then to "Harry Slash & The Slashtones" during the era that Harry Slash produced music for Extreme Championship Wrestling.
After Extreme Championship Wrestling went bankrupt in 2001, Harry Slash continued to record and perform with the band after changing its name back to "The Slashtones".
After several years of inactivity the band’s name was changed back to Harry Slash & The Slashtones in 2023 when they began recording again.
The name of the band is a parody of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, itself a play on Dick Dale and the Del-Tones.
