Arran05 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Bad: Engelbert Humperdinck (Humperbert Engeldinck? Dinkelbert Humpereng? Bertengel Dinckhumper? Berthumper Engeldinck?) I know it's not his real name, but why choose THAT as a stage name? Limp Bizkit: Edible confectionary with an injury? Good: Trivium, because it's got meaning behind it. From Wikipedia: In medieval universities, the trivium comprised the three subjects taught first: grammar, logic, and rhetoric. The "trivium" is the theory of education, or the beginning of liberal arts. Children of Bodom - Based around the Lake Bodom murders, they also have a song named "Lake Bodom" Pantera - Means "panther" in another language, can't remember which. Lamb of God - This obviously has some religious meaning. (I'm gonna make a tribute band named "Mutton of Messiah" :D.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clown Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Type O Negative is the best band ever. Limp Bizkit is the worst. Followed by Insane Clown Posse. ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebbeberg Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Stupid names: U2, 50 Cent (his album is worth less than that-.-), Martha and the Vandellas(altough, i like them), Stockholms Negrer(the negros of stockholm)too bad about their name, because it's an awesome Punk band. Awesome names: Tre ÃÆÃâÃâögon i bÃÆÃâÃâäcken(three eyes in the.. Pond?), RÃÆÃâÃâövsvett(bumsweat), Canned heat, Punkt, Sabaton*, LÃÆÃâÃâädernunnan(Leather Nun).. (*their name is the name of a piece of armour that protects the foot) http://www.flashback.info/showthread.php?t=270107 They got alot of funny band names there (note: Swedish forum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moortz666 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Good names: AC/DC, I just love it Sonata Arctica, just sounds cool Manowar Bad names: Kiss, sounds like women :-w (play amazing good music though) Scissor sisters, they're men... :-k 98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature, ROCK IS BETTER!

Chocobodude0 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Best: Wu-Tang Clan (it sounds so cool!) Good: Dipset (crappy music, but I gotta admit, cool name) N.W.A Outlawz A Tribe Called Quest Mobb Deep Bad: G-Unit (God, there are so many jokes about this, how could 50 not have seen that coming? Oh yeah, I forgot, he's an idiot) Junior M.A.F.I.A. Panic! at the Disco Fall Out boy AFI Memphis Bleek (not a band, but still, stupid name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCHughes Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Some good ones: The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - What mental image do you get? Hilarious. Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin - Long, but amusing if you know who Boris Yeltsin is and why everyone hates him. Kind of a Russian inside joke, anyway. Metacalypse - OK, not really a band, but it's still sweet. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Awesome name, fitting for an awesome band. Dark Horse - Maybe just because of George Harrison, but it's fitting for him. Agent Orange - Never heard a song by them before, but they sound neat. Bad ones: Barenaked Ladies - Why would you name a band of men this? They Might Be Giants Def Leppard - I hate bands that do the "Ooh, let's take normal words and spell them completely wrong! We'll be cool then!" That's an automatic indicator that the band is going to suck. I have fun with this sometimes: http://www.bandnamemaker.com/ the russians are the best! Hands down!

Panic_Pants Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 heres some interesting ones: ...All (all what?)... Clearly you know nothing about the quest for ALL... anyways, Mindless Self Indulgence is a good one, same with The Toasters (toasting glasses, not the appliance) HORSE the band is great. I hate trendy band names, especially ones beginning with prepositions. Also, bandnames are names, NOT phrases (another pet peeve) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezebelus Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Well Nightwish sounds very good, also Hammerfall, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Rammstein. And yeah Simon&Garfunkidljf -something is the the worst name ever. I was listening them a little long time ago and they are quite good but every time I hear their name :roll:. Also offspring sound stupid to me. I mean I like this band a lot but name is really :-X divxtitles.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryjoe Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I really dont like the bands with their name as simply "the " such as the killers, the zutons, the claxons, the frutellis (i mean wtf!), The Cure, the hives, the vines. I really like some of the music by them but the names piss me off lol.. Some of the more origional ones are ok like the beatles or the who before everyone started doin it. There aren't really any band names that i really love - just ones that i dont like since im so pessimistic (is it that or pecimistic?) :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehravenx Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I like the name Rise Against I HATE the name Vanilla Ice. More like Vanilla Trash. :notalk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad25891 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Another stupid one, although they are a great band, is ACDC. They got that off their sister's sewing machine, and it is some kind of adapter cord. Really wired way to name a band.

Retefael Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Best = !!! Worst = Panic! At the Disco (absurb. just like the fact that all those bands (such as Fall Out Boy and P!ATD) have names for their songs that are about 15 words long. that's stupid. and the name is dopey too. disoc? 30 years too late...) I don't run races to see who's the fastest, I run to see who has the most guts. -PreCurrently the best beat out there:Minuit jacuzzi (DatA Remix) - TEPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intriguing Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Why did someone put "Muse" as a bad name? Given the defenition, it's probably one of the most appropriate names possible for a band.. But anyway, good band names: Preschool Teaparty Massacre Make a Change... Kill Yourself Impaled Northern Moonforest (haha) Muse Buckethead Band names: Yngwie Malmsteen Blink 182 (who the hell puts numbers in their band name?) Cool.
