sPaG says "At one point Chad was very poor so he was donating plasma to make a little bit of money. The nurse was having a hard time finding the artery and he made a comment about if you are looking for a mud vein you have to go a bit lower. It became a bit of a joke and we got attached to the name."
Another version, be it more conceptual, is described by sPaG, "The band has been in contact with an alien planet from a planet called Zeta Reticuli, and we're currently in the process of fronting a transplant operation, it's a cross colonization effort. And the code name as directed by this alien presence is Mudvayne."

To support their gigging, Chad worked in Mr and Mrs McDonough’s tattoo shop, I’m No Angel Productions, answering the phone, cleaning and taking care of stock whilst Matt tended to balancing the books. Meanwhile Greg sweated it out in construction with Ryan using his culinary skills as a chef.

Kill, I Oughta was an independant demo tape made by the band in 1997. It was supposed to be given out only to music labels, but the fans demanded it so much that Mudvayne decided to release 1000 copies to the local public. It only cost $2000 to make, and most of the studio stuff is just one take. (nevertheless it is still very well recorded for that kinda money!) Three of the songs are live performances that they decided to track, and the demo features the old bass player Shawn, before the band recruited Ryan. When asked if Kill, I Oughta would someday be re-released, Kud said "There's copies circulating now and there, but we are going forward, we're not going back." After Mudvayne started to hit it big in the early summer of 2000, people started selling the original and burnt copies of Kill, I Oughta at outrageous prices to eager fans over the internet. So in 2001 Kud changed his mind when Kill, I Oughta was re-released under the new name The Beginning Of All Things To End, that included three bonus tracks. The guys were getting tired of seeing their fans getting ripped off for music that was considered 'rare Mudvayne material' and therefore decided to re-release it to all Mudvayne fans.
