New band names

[MAC]

so if you type a domain name that no one has you usually end up at someone trying to sell it to you

**here comes the stupid idea**

and I turn on MTV and see that these morons will use anythign as aband name so I think we'd be pretty lame if we couldn't come up with some at least as good as theirs

--------------------
*MAC walks in in his Ed Sullivan suit with his hands behind his back and his chin burried in his chest*

You're deluded if you think that Dashboard Confessional is in any way, shape or form a band. That crap they spew certainly isn't music.

~Kiss~ Never did I say it was music.

Did I say anything about being deluded?

Dashboard Confessional doesn't even rank on the list. :p

[Mae]

As far as I'm concerned it is very high up there on the list of weird assed names E.A.

[Escape Artist]

But bands must actually play music to be a damned band, and they don't. :p

The Strawberry Alarm Clock - best band name ever.

[Stevo]

So many Dynamos - best band name ever

[Growing_Mystery]

Orgy, Broken Toys, Zwan, Smashing Pumpkins, and Mushroomhead... They're all quite strange names...

[Stevo]

anyone notice how zwan is pretty much a younger version of the pumpkins. What's the asian guitar/lady bass thing? Billy must be real particular.

[SatansLeftHand]

i thought this thread was for making up your own band names?

anywho, i like the name 'potentially hazardous', even though it doesn't really work unless you name your albums things like 'toys, inc.'

[Koliedrus]

Broken Zipper, Prenuptual Disagreement, Spittoon Effluvia, Poster Children, Handbasket Weavers, Slaitch.

Best I can do right now. Sneezing Fit.

I once threw 'The Bloody Minstrels' out as a suggested band name. But, since we were a late 70's/ early 80's Metal cover band I was out voted in favor of 'Iron Cross'. I guess the name would have been a better fit for an all girl British punk band, huh?

[Barbie]

BareNaked Ladies
no, wait...that's taken

"Tight Calvin Boxer Briefs". :)

In 92 I suggested a name to a zydeco group who were organizing as a band: "Gator-Ators"

They do club shows in Louisiana still, under that name.
