godthedog Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 also: if you decide to be an arty band for whatever reason, i recommend picking some imagery from any bob dylan song at random, & it'll sound like a band name. visions of johanna, sheet metal memory, fifteen jugglers/five believers, flesh colored christs...it's all good.
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Posted August 8, 2003 godthedog Posted on Aug 7 2003, 09:02 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- thumbtack: if you decide to be an arty band for whatever reason, i recommend picking some imagery from any bob dylan song at random, & it'll sound like a band name. visions of johanna, sheet metal memory, fifteen jugglers/five believers, flesh colored christs...it's all good. Well, this band is totally my brother's concept, his vision. He is simply looking for a simple metal band name. I just play drums and sing like only I can. It's only looking to be a straight up hard ass metal style, nothing really arty about it.
Guest El Satanico Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Since metal is usually about evil imagery you could go the ironic title route and use something like. Gods Will
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Posted August 8, 2003 I don't know what muh bro thinks but God's Will is getting shortlisted.
Nighthawk Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Shotgun Pump Grip or Shotgun Pimp Grip or Marquis de Sade (but pronounce it Sha Day) actually, you could just call the band God the Dog

Nighthawk Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 There's already a band called Nighthawk, but it's gospel, so whatever.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Oedipus and the Motherfuckers is the funniest thing I've read all summer. Holy shit. I'm stealing that. band names I've used, or am toying with.. Weight Upon Open Eyes Insides Out Inebriated Scabby Asscheek Carnival Vomit Completely Awful Tendrils One I like in particular that I've made up is "Absolved by his Own Blood" which is the term used when Soviet convicts were freed after being injured in the war against the Nazis.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 *Rant Mode* You know what STOP creating 193984234 "brands" of metal JUST CALL EITHER METAL OR HARDCORE No more fucking "Grindcore" "Speed" "Trashcore" "Screamcore" or any of that shit...It's stupid to create a million different layers of classifications for the genre. *Rant mode off* It's quite necessary. Otherwise, you're saying that Suffocation and..I don't know...let's say Blind Guardian are the same genre. They sound completely fuckin' different, yet they're both technically "metal bands." Hell, let's just simplify it all into "rock music," therefore you don't have to get all flustered by making obvious classifications between bands. Some degree of nomenclature and musical taxonomy is definitely required. As far as those little tiny sub-niches, most of them are just the band describing themselves, not a pre-existing genre of "Dark Melodic Speedcore," which just happens to describe a band. Besides, if you're going to gripe about too many sub-genres, at least start with Jazz.
nl5xsk1 Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Columbian Necktie (it's when you slit someone's throat and pull their tongue out the slit as a way to kill them) Vertical Smile (it's a euphemism for the vagina) Taint (it's the spot between your sac and your a-hole)
Guest Ten Ton Lid Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Go the Strong Bad route - take an already-cool word then spell it wrong. Like, I dunno, "Raylegunn" or something. "Band Names"
King Kamala Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 How about No Cover? You can put up posters around saying No Cover at such and such bar or club and people will be expecting to get in for free. I might be the only one but I think it's a great idea.
justsoyouknow Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 ...that's genius. Might as well call the band, "Everyone Gets In Free" or something like that.

Ripper Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 From your avatar Asshole Penguins Or Psycho Kitty Or RIPPER... just remember that you HAVE to keep the three periods.

LaParkaYourCar Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Here are some (sorry if they suck) Piss Broke Molting Smegma Lucky Lepers
Ripper Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Needs More Cowbell Wasted Space 2000mg of Taurine Potent Liver Cleaning Herb Yeah, I'm out of ideas. We have a winner. I'd still go with Troll Logic or Asshole Penguins...but you can't beat the cowbell.
justsoyouknow Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I'm extremely partial to "Absolved By His Own Blood"...could carry a Christian conotation, could have some sort of S&M conotation, could mean a few different things. But "Needs More Cowbell"...that's just art.
LaParkaYourCar Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Here are some more: Encrusted Pork Vas Difference (instead of vas defferens...yeah it sucks) And after seeing Smackdown you could go with: Oil Hoochie Pimps
