Guest redbaron51 Posted October 30, 2002 Report Posted October 30, 2002 My band called Two-Step does not make it to this years battle of the bands. We are a thrash/power-metal band (sorta like Metallica, Testament, Iron Maiden combined). We have four members. I play bass and do back up vocals. Our singer, Adam is our vocals, and plays rythem guitar (he can do some pretty good growls. Mike, played lead. and Erek plays drums (double bass too,). and we got "knocked out"...get this..... ITS NOT POPULAR!!! WTF is up with that. Its not popular. what made it. 2 emo/punk bands, which one is a basic ripoff of Thursday. a freestyle rapper (which is quite good IMO). and get this.... a fuckin cover band.... for Blink 182... that pisses me off. Each band has 15 minutes to play, one original. Our songs were Skin O' My Teeth by Megadeth NIB by Black Sabbath. Gone (original) Ace of Spades by Motorhead (i did the vocals for this song, as Adam played bass) Our plans is just to show up, and play for the crowd, and screw what others say.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted October 30, 2002 Report Posted October 30, 2002 Face it folks, death metal/thrash isn't very popular to the masses. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest saturnmark4life Posted October 30, 2002 Report Posted October 30, 2002 oh well then it should get filtered out like that. Show up, play, swear, shit on stage and get drunk% lookit me with all me crrazy angst.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 30, 2002 Report Posted October 30, 2002 Do what we do around here. Don't bother with school functions and lame local concerts when you can throw a kegger with a death band. It's autumn, which is party season around here. Big bonfire, three kegs, a metal band in the garage or a barn, a fistfight or two, and the cops in no less than 4 hours, sending everyone underage tear-assing for woods and cornfields, and everyone over 21 laughing at them and drinking.
Guest Ram Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 I think it's just because the name of your band sucks. But what do I know?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 Yeah, you should adopt something like, say... "Blunt Force Trauma" or "Necrobucket" The name my buddies and I are tossing around is "Weight Upon Open Eyes." Not bad for grind. By far the best band name I have ever heard though, is Three Nails For A False Prophet.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 Weight Upon Open Eyes? Don't you know what KISS stood for?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 Keep Insisting Simmons Sells? Krazy Idiotic Stage Show? Kotzenjunge Is Screwing Sophie? (You owe me a dollar after that one, pal)
Guest saturnmark4life Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 Keep It Simple, Stupid (insert joke here)
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 Hell with that. No one's going to forget a three-piece acid grind experience called Weight Upon Open Eyes. The other name we're liking is Flesh Menu.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 it's a better name for an album i think. Not really saying i don't like it.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 I just wish I would've come up with Three Nails for a False Prophet. That name's fuckin' tough.
Guest Lord of The Curry Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 Agreed, Agent........T.N.F.A.F.P is quite the badass name.
Guest BigPoppaKev Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 The name of my friends band is The Humpty Dumpty Fiasco. Now hows that for a name?
Guest spiny norman Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 One time I was sitting around at home on the phone, discussing a name for a band. I had a banana sandwich. Now, maybe I'm insane (in fact, that's pretty probable), but I do think Banana Sandwich is the best name ever for a band. If the target audience are the type to be horribly bemused, it can get them giggling, if you're targetting nincompoops, it appeals to them by referencing something we all have fond thoughts of, and if you are targetting intellects, it can get them thinking about how the name works on many levels; does it represent some greater metaphysical meaning regarding life, the universe and everything, or is it in fact representing a banana sandwich? Truly that is a great name for a band.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 The name of my friends band is The Humpty Dumpty Fiasco. Now hows that for a name? Are they a jam band? If not, it's iffy.
Guest spiny norman Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 I actually understand what you are going through. I received a lot of recognition at my school for being a bagpiper. I was pretty good at it. It was like my school was overcome with Bagpipe Frenzy, which was a combination of amazing and quite depressing. Anyway, the school Variety Night was coming up, and I really didn't want to play. But everyone was all "Yeah, come on, go in it" etc etc. So I went, saw the teacher in charge, she said try and I'll be in. It was all really a given I'd get in, it was a Variety Night, after all. So yeah, I did my little audition, and I played really well, and this is coming from my hardest critic here. Quoth the teacher: "You're really good, but I'm just a little bit worried there's only one of you, and I don't think it'd have that good an effect, and it could get boring soon. But there are two Irish dancers in the grade below yours, why don't you play for them dancing next year?" Okay, that'd be fine except the whole night was guitar solos, piano solos etc etc. It was given the title Variety Or Lack Thereof Night, and my Geography teacher was so peeved he made all his classes boycott, and the night ended up a huge financial disaster for the school. So just boycott it, take my advice, hopefully that'll show them.
Guest redbaron51 Posted November 2, 2002 Report Posted November 2, 2002 well we had to change our name or else not enter. Anarchists Revival (damn catholic school) Our one song we couldn't use (Priests and Nuns=Satan.
Guest BaldFish Posted November 3, 2002 Report Posted November 3, 2002 I think you should have named your band "Van Full of Retards". Or "qJesse qHelms qAnd qThe qSilent Q's".
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted November 3, 2002 Report Posted November 3, 2002 hahaha, those would be really good punk band names.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted November 3, 2002 Report Posted November 3, 2002 Keep Insisting Simmons Sells? Krazy Idiotic Stage Show? Kotzenjunge Is Screwing Sophie? (You owe me a dollar after that one, pal) (gives AoO an E-dollar) Aww, I knew your tripping off of me was just 'cause you liked me, ya big lug! Now let us never speak of this moment of weakness again. Cool band names I've thought of recently: Electric Stalin, Lesbian Santa, Cliffdiving Jesus, and Four Dudes Who Make Noise. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted November 3, 2002 Report Posted November 3, 2002 You can never get as blunt as "The Vagina Transplants", which is an obvious Punk name...
