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.)

I quite like the Stone Roses, come to think of it.

Good :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tenacious D

Why not make an arabic tribute band - Sheep of Allah. As a matter of fact, I'm going to see said metal band in around a month. (the real one :lol: ) \m/

Type O Negative is the best band ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Limp Bizkit is the worst. Followed by Insane Clown Posse.

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)

They got alot of funny band names there (note: Swedish forum)

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

best: IRON MAIDEN!!!

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)

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.

Typed "Monkey" and got:

 

 

 

Rectal Monkey <------ :-s

 

 

 

Best Monkey

 

 

 

Merciful Monkey

 

 

 

Erosion of the Monkey Delerium <------------ :?

 

 

 

Monkey Fable

 

 

 

Monkey Hospital

 

 

 

Monkey Bridge

 

 

 

Monkey Siren

 

 

 

Morbid Monkey and the Copulation <------- :uhh:

 

 

 

Monkey Kim

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)

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

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

I like the name Rise Against

 

 

 

I HATE the name Vanilla Ice. More like Vanilla Trash. :notalk:

 

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.

 

 

 

Sorry, I really couldn't help it :oops:

Good

 

Wu tang clan

 

The streets

 

 

 

Bad

 

Puddle of mudd

 

Deftones

 

G-unit

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...)

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?)

I like Panic! At The Disco, lol.

 

 

 

I don't really like "Boys Like Girls" :-w

Good:

 

System of a Down

 

Tool

 

A Perfect circle

 

 

 

Bad:

 

Insane clown Posse

 

Silverchair(even though their music is good)

 

Slipknot =\

 

Mudvayne

 

Wumpscut

 

Android Lust

 

Deathboy

Yngwie Malmsteen

 

That's a name of a person. :|

 

 

 

Good: Trans-Siberian Orchestra, The Who, Muse, Dream Theater, Nightwish, DragonForce, Rainbow, Queensryche. Dir En Grey, Iron Maiden, Spinal Tap, Pig Destroyer, Rage Against The Machine, Kottonmouth Kings (:lol:), Queens Of The Stone Age, Children of Bodom, Megadeth, Metallica, Corrosion of Conformity, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen

 

 

 

Bad: The Killers, Nickelback, Extreme, Judas Priest, Accept, My Dying Bride, High On Fire, Sentenced, Chaos UK, Insane Clown Posse, Body Count, As I Lay Dying, 3 Inches Of Blood, Suicidal Tendencies, Incubus, Disturbed, Drive-By Truckers, Alabama, America, Buckcherry

My uncle is in a local band, Soul of the River. Pretty good name I think.

 

U2-Worst name ever

Type O Negative is the best band ever.

 

 

 

Limp Bizkit is the worst. Followed by Insane Clown Posse.

 

 

 

This is the one and only time I will say "QFT".

 

 

 

QFT

 

 

 

Also, how is it that nobody has yet mentioned Anal C*nt?

Yngwie Malmsteen

 

That's a name of a person. :|
