!!! is a great band name.
I like !!!
editors is crap name.
Worst: The music, The Beta Band, TheThe.
the music
is ACTUALLY the worst band name ever. they should be called the (rubbish) music.
also: artic monkeys.
Worst name in general
salford_superstar
cunt
U2
is the worst bandname evah!
seriously though
!!! are a good bands but !!! is a bad name. I refuse to refer to them as they ask, they are always spokena bout in my house as "that stupid band who's name is three exclamation marks"
chk chk chk
It's a good name, they got it from a subtitled South African film where someone says 'chk chk chk' and the subtitle comes up as '!!!'. So that IS how you say it.
I know
but its still a stupid name for a band.
British Sea Power
Honourable mention to The Music.
iLiKETRAiNS
have a really stupid name and logo.
But they rule.
there's loads
you should see some of the sorry names on the bog circuit - we've played with bands with names like Sugar Monkey and Caught in the Zip, whilst not neccesarily bad people just bad names
its not though
really is it? its not a word or a group of words, so it cant be a name, its completley meaningless and really really stupid.
also, techically they cant tell anyone how its pronounced, because its inpronouncable, if thats a word, unlesss you call them 'exclaimation mark exclaimation mark exclaimation mark'
its pronounced
chk chk chk usually.
We playwed with some bad named bands including
My Pet Junkie
Monkey Capone
Fake Bad News
Any band with the name Monkey in their title usually means "cheeky" chav rock bollocks.
the ebst thing about the bog circuit is coming across bands who think
they are about to be deluged by at least 80 percent of the music industry at 8.45 and want to swap slots with you as 'the a&r world and its dog are coming to see us' (ie they sent an email to every available email address on the internet) - we had one band who kept hassling us to swap as 'someone massive is flying in from New York' to which I replied 'well if he's come that far he wont be fretting about missing the last tube will he?'
Pricks. all of them. FACT
Something went wrong
I have to say it again!
CUNT
fuck you
Juan.
People who make personal remarks about people over the internet are fucking saddos. you wouldnt say that to me because id kick your fucking head in you little tosser but you'll type it on a message board.
woops
touched a nerve
Beef! Beef!
Although I do agree with Salford on this one.
Anyway... BEEF! BEEF!
It's cool
I'd rather he hated me, He gets to be pissed off and i don't.
...and you will know us by the trail of mediocre records blah blah blah.
just to be sure
how do you pronounce chk? is it like a gun noise?
no you say it like cilla black
chuck chuck chuck!
Or like this
quack quack quack
While we're on the subject of Scrooge McDuck...
Your new favourite shit band names for 2006
the Kooks
Larrikin Love
Be Your own Pet (why?)
The Faculty (some 30s Vaudeville double act currently fending off A&R men like they're wasps round a warm can of lager)
Are
the Kooks named after the Bowie song of the same name? If so they can fuck right off.
or
'wet wet wet'.
or
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
or
Crosby Stills & Nash
or
Rod, Jane and Freddie
fuck
are an example of a great band with a rubbish name
CYHSY! anyone?
also, blonde redhead. huh?
DARTZ!... very clever. :|
and iForward, Russia! just cos i don't know how to do the real upside down exclamation mark.
Use...
character map. Then again, it can take a while, so on 2nd thoughts, don't, it'll only make you hate the name even more.
And...
I've wanted to know how you orally refer to the band known as !!! for ages now. Ideas, anyone?
Due...
It's chk chk chk as said above.
Minus 10 points for not paying attention
Arggg...
Damn my lack of common sense.
moker
i woke up on sunday morning and the drummer from 'fake bad news' was asleep on my sofa. i didnt know of him or the band until i started talking to him. what they like?
Between you and me and the rest of DiS
I thought they were really bad. Totally bad. Terrible. Awful in fact. Honestly. Like a 6th form band at their worst.
Hope I haven't offended anyone but they're just a really unpolished early band who need a fuck load of work. A truck load of a fuck load of work. Still he'd probably say the same about my old band, but honestly, they totally died on their arse that night.
ha ha
fair enough. he seemed like a nice fella, he works with one of my housemates and he let him crash over.
mental note : dont take him up on his offer of going to watch them!
Well check 'em out
http://www.fakebadnews.co.uk/
Maybe they're just not me thing, but man they gotta go up a gear. Really.
The worst band name is..
Maroon 5.
Or maybe thats just worst band?
i like
be your own pet.
I swear i saw a metal band once called 'Beef Bomb' or was it 'Beef Bong'?
Anyway, the usual suspects for this are:
The Others
Razorlight
Atomic Kitten
Sick On The Bus
Lostprophets
Linkin Park (where is this park?)
LimpDikshit
Sun00)))
Babyshambles
In The Shit
The Bravery
!!!
I'm sure i read somewhere you could say it as any percussive noise soo:
Chk chk chk
bang bang bang
gong gong gong
for me
the Wow
the Buzz ( but they're ace ! )
