Re: favorite name for band...

agreed get cape wear cape fly ...is a fantastic name

Re: favorite name for band...

i've been telling all my friends about it.
still have no idea what they sound like.

Re: favorite name for band...

The Soft Pink Truth
Jody Foster's Army (mainly for the meaning behind the name which is fucking funny - google it!)
and the rapper Peedo, which is quite unfortunate but funny all the same.

Re: favorite name for band...

Bear Vs Shark is pretty good, but they should have called themselves Bronze Bear Vs Bronze Shark.

Re: favorite name for band...

i'm sure if you ask, someone will make you a bronze bear and shark, then you can fight them, and tell us who wins.

Re: favorite name for band...

i place a bet on bronze shark to win

Re: favorite name for band...

But where would this fight take place? On land or in the sea?

Re: favorite name for band...

It would take place in their minds.

Re: favorite name for band...

Although if it was in the sea it wouldn't much matter cos they'd both sink.

Oh I'm just too clever for my own good.

Re: favorite name for band...

And if it was on land it wouldn't matter cos they're both made of bronze anyway. I predict a draw.

Re: favorite name for band...

what terrain?

Re: favorite name for band...

The best band name is, The sex pistols

It was so 'then' it shocked people, it was in the limelight, you dont forget it, its pretty funny.

It would probably be the name a stoner metal band from america would have now. Thankfully its taken.

Re: favorite name for band...

i watched this thing on discovery channel once, where they made a robot shark and a robot hippo, and they fought them to the death (well as dead as robots can get).
the hippo won. although the shark should have one cos its cooler.

Re: favorite name for band...

one/won ...it sounds the same...

Erm best name i've heard is probably the kaiser chiefs but if i were making a name for my own band it would be enigma because i am an enigma people think they know me and then i do something really unpredictable, yeh that me :D

Re: favorite name for band...

The Kaiser Chiefs nicked their name off a South African football team. And isn't Enigma already a weird faux-tribal coffee-table band?

Re: favorite name for band...

all girl punk band the slits

Re: favorite name for band...

I was going to go see Ari Up tonight. I forgot...

Re: favorite name for band...

I think British Sea Power is a pretty cool name even if a lot of people may disagree. It's patriotic,earthly and brings to mind enviromentally friendly power stations.

Re: favorite name for band...

Re: favorite name for band...

Revolting Cocks.

Re: favorite name for band...

'Sonic Youth's' 'Daydream Nation', on which the first song is 'Teenage Riot', gets my vote for the best combination of titles ever

Re: favorite name for band...

The Al Pacinos

Re: favorite name for band...

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Duran Duran Duran
The $hit
The Scaramanga Six
The Octopus Project

Special mention also goes to Anal Cunt, who not only have one the coolest band names ever, but also have song titles such as "You're A Fucking Cunt," "The Only Reason Men Talk To You Is Because They Want To Get Laid, You Stupid Fucking Cunt" and possible the sickest song title ever - "I Became A Counselor So I Could Tell Rape Victims They Asked For It."

Re: favorite name for band...

#Tips hat to the Anal Cunt lads#

just love 'Get Cape...' shouldn't they get some sort of trophy for having the coolest band name or something? (at very least a bag of penny chews and Flumps each)

Kyuss ('cos when you first see it, you're never sure how to pronounce it)
Mors Princpium Est (can't remeber what it translates to, but it's pretty fucking cool)
Smashing Pumpkins
My Awesome Compilation

Re: favorite name for band...

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
and Send More Paramedics are all favourites of mine.

Re: favorite name for band...

Neutral Milk Hotel

Re: favorite name for band...

Mine are :-
Dead Kennedys (Explains itself really)
Lynard Skynard (after Leonard Skinner, who was a gym coach some band members had in high school )
Joy Division (Concentration camp prostitute huts)
DEVO (Devolution)
Fairport Convention (Name of house where band formed)
Velvet Underground (S&M Book title)
Twisted Sister (They looked like weird drag queens)
The Flaming Lips (VD)
Jethro Tull (Inventor of the seed drill)
Roxy Music (Named after a cinema added Music later)


Re: favorite name for band...

Sticking with the Joy Division Nazi theme, Spandau Ballet are named after the name that Nazi guards gave to the contortions jewish concentration camp prisoners made, when dying in the gas chambers in the Spandau concentration camp. Nasty. And they were such a cheesy band too.

Re: favorite name for band...

I Always knew they were pure Evil!

Re: favorite name for band...

The Entire Population of China

Mispelt Yoof

Electric Six were originally called Fuxedo which is pure genius.

I once saw a band called the Swedish Fuck Monkeys supporting The Wildhearts at The Junction in Cambridge but haven't heard anything since.

Re: favorite name for band...

Dudez a Plenti

Re: favorite name for band...

porno graffitti

Re: favorite name for band...

Dunno if someone else has mentioned it and I've just not spotted it, but I always thought Guns N' Wankers was a fantastic name. And I do regret never seeing Bum Gravy. Mindless Drug Hoover's quite good too, but that's just one bloke, not a band, so I don't know if that counts.

How about worst band names? Stuck Mojo get my vote. What were they thinking?

Re: favorite name for band...

Fast Food Rockers

Re: favorite name for band...

The Beatles is possibly the worst band name ever. They're like beetles, but they are providing the new beat of the 1960s. Do you see what they did there? I bet they regretted that one later.

Re: favorite name for band...

Oh well. They made up for it with their magnificent music career.
