Damn it, Mr. T trumps all..

 

But yeah, I did know that. I was just satying he has a gay name. Because I'm judgemental like that.

Cool.

Worst: The Blood drips and runs though the vains of the fallen as he fills with rage. yeah... its a local band... TBDARTVOTFAHFW.

 

 

 

:-s Lunatics.

 

 

 

some of the better stuff:

 

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

 

Fun Lovin' Criminals

 

but above all: The Smashing Pumpkins and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

 

 

 

horrible names: all those ridiculous death metal names. What's so cool about 'Slayer', ' Napalm Death', ' Cannibal Corpse', 'Anthrax' or even simply 'Death'?

 

 

 

you know, just because you dont like it, doesnt mean you can say what you did.

 

 

 

i myself think thoes are GREAT names. and very well respected bands.

 

 

 

this is all based on musical taste yes, but still, be reasonable. because all the bands you said were great, i can say they are terrible.

That has to be the strangest list I've ever seen. I completely disagree with you saying that metal bands have a more 'creative mind' when it comes to song titles. I mean the ones in bold.. hardly original at all, the italicized ones are original enough I'll give you that.

 

 

 

Under the bad list, I would say they are all pretty creative except rolling stones like you said. By the way, it's Nickelback. :| Whats wrong with the way they named their band also? [/hide]

 

 

 

I personally can't think of any good/bad names at the moment, I'll have to edit this post sometime when I think of something. :-$

Favourite names:

 

 

 

1349

 

Avantasia

 

Behemoth

 

Deicide (the perfect name to match their [anti] religious lyrical themes)

 

Ensiferum

 

Morbid Angel

 

Muse

 

Nile

 

Obituary

 

Rhapsody

 

 

 

Least favourite names:

 

 

 

30 Seconds to Mars

 

After Forever

 

Anal C*nt

 

Angels and Airwaves

 

Death (amazing musicians, though)

 

Dragonforce

 

Fall Out Boy

 

Fightstar

 

Limp Bizkit

 

Nightwish

 

Panic! At the Disco

 

Sum 41

 

The Sex Pistols

 

 

 

I could compile a list of at least two hundred bands if I wanted to; there are so many unoriginal band names floating around these days.

I have to disagree with The Sex pistols being bad, it fitted the punk style perfectly.

 

Alot of bands might have bad looking names, but actually there's a story behind it which makes it clever or ironic etc.

 

 

 

Good

 

Dream Theater

 

The Who

 

Led Zeppelin

 

 

 

Bad

 

Dashboard Confessional

 

My Chemical Romance

 

Most bands with 'The '

spacescenev24.jpg

I always felt that a supergroup combining the bands 'Anal C*nt' and 'Napalm Death' would have a pretty cool name.

Best:

 

 

 

AC/DC

 

Led Zeppelin

 

 

 

Worst:

 

STP

 

 

 

and finally, get this:

 

 

 

Crazy Penis :-w

We should euthanize anyone who lacks the capability to contribute to society in any way.

Please don't elect this man for president in 2012

good:

 

 

 

saves the day

 

funeral for a friend

 

alkaline trio
