LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2003 I heard on the radio today that Metallica is suing a Canadian Punk band because they are calling themselves Metallica. Why would you steal the name of a famous band and not expect to be sued over it? Guess they weren't very original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 17, 2003 I imagine they were trying to make some kind of statement. Things like that are a little odd when it comes to copyright, as well. I wouldn't be totally surprised if they were legally within their rights to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Scarlet Pimpernel Report post Posted January 17, 2003 Probably to attract the casual idiot who thinks that the real Metallica a playing at the local pub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted January 17, 2003 If they were smart, they woulda done this a WHILE ago, when Metallica was suing everything under the sun. Sure, they'd get sued in a second, but hey, if it wasn't for this, who on earth would have heard of this band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted January 17, 2003 You got that wrong, Metallica is Good, Lars is what sucks. The guy was great before he got greedy in Early 1990's The other three just wanted to rock but Lars Bullshit infested into the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2003 The Radio DJ's were joking about how the Canadian band should call themselves "The New Metallica" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted January 17, 2003 Then why not create "The New Beatles". Seriously, have we ran out of names? Perhaps that is why they are all "SKRT952 "these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted January 17, 2003 "Who's playing tonight?" "The Shitty Beatles." "Are they any good?" "No, they suck." "Ah, so it's not just a clever name." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 17, 2003 AHAHAHA. They're better than the original Metallica by default. Anyway, funny this should happen, since a friend of mine and I were toying with starting a band called "Pantera II" for shits and giggles. Never happened, though.

Guest DrTom Report post Posted January 17, 2003 ... since a friend of mine and I were toying with starting a band called "Pantera II" for shits and giggles. Unrelated to the original topic... wouldn't "Your Sister's Tits" be a great name for a band? It draws attention, and it's certainly memorable, but it's the overall utility in conversation that makes it a great choice, IMO. People could say things like... "Dude, I saw Your Sister's Tits last night! They were awesome!" "Man, Your Sister's Tits are really great!" Without the other person knowing the context, I imagine it would be incredibly funny.* Something to consider if you're still hunting for a band name.

Guest Scarlet Pimpernel Report post Posted January 17, 2003 Well, if your going to create a band name in that context, then I reserve the rights to 'My Genital Warts' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted January 19, 2003 This actually reminds me of the two Nirvana's. There's the famous grunge pioneers, blah blah blah... and there's this totally unknown '60s British band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
