[Shadows Rise]

Porcupine Tree, as well as Gordian Knot i have found to be strange names.

-the tree huggin' hippies
-the ringstingers

We are now called 'Anti Social behaviour'

Def leppard is quite random though

[Werny]

Meshuggah* :)


It means insane in Hebrew, and it's probably my favourite band name other than Alice in Chains.

Weird names; Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Def Leppard, 7 Year Bitch, Coffinbreak, The Goo Goo Dolls, Killswitch Engage, Pearl Jam (me and my friends once reasoned that it means semen).

[metallicobain]

Sunday, Thursday, The Traveling Willberries (sp?), Green Day, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Alter Bridge.

A lot of bad bands have dumb names.

[Walrus Gumboot]

String Cheese Incident.

[Ulysses]

Murder Dolls, that is a gimmick of a name. Our Lady Peace is pretty mediocre also. Weirdest, I have heard of a band called ""A Cat in an Oven is not a Cake", it takes the cake so to speak.

[heyheymymy]

To find the weirdest band names, just go to metal archives, type in a vulgar word and you'll get some pretty wacky stuff. Here are some good ones i found:

Led Zeppelin = In a review, they were said to be "as likely to succeed as a lead zeppelin".
Wow, was that guy ever off :lol: I knew that though, I read a lot about bands in my spare time. Apparently Jimmy Page has taken the credit for a lot of songs that aren't his. I don't really believe that though.

[cytoplasmicglob]

Led Zeppilen was made up by Keith Moon, of the Who. It's an opoosite name-Lead(heavy material) Zeppilen(Famous Blimp)just like Quiet Riot, or Black Sabbath, or Alice Cooper, or Alice In Chains(It's a surprisingly successful way to discover good names)IMO.
What I know how Led Zeppelin got there name, I think Peter Townshend of The Who, said that they would go down like a Led Balloon, so they named themselves Led Zeppelin thats what I always thought. :o

[cytoplasmicglob]

Rammstein, for those who are curious, is the name of a german military base.

[/RushFan\]

No its not.
There is no reason for that number. They messed with everyone saying that was it that and like a million other things. But really, theres nothing special about that number.

[RiceMonster]

what does AC/Dc stand for/ mean anybody know
It refers to two types of power. The idea came from a sewing machine.

Anyway, the wierdest band name I know is Brenoritvrezorkre. Lykathea Aflame is a wierd one as well.

[SlapnPop]

fu manchu is pretty wierd IMO

[Debwa]

Blink 182 and Sum 41... what the hell is the meaning behind those names?



blink 182...

first let me start off by telling you that the drummer (or someone in the band) is from a little place called poway in san diego. poway and another place called rancho bernardo (also in san diego) have huge rivalries when it comes to highschool sports. i live in poway

so..

blink = f*ck

18= R (18 letter of alphabet)

2 = B (2 letter of alphabet)

RB stands for rancho bernardo. so there you have it, the meaning of blink 182

i dont know about sum 41 though


On topic.. I think NOFX or sex pistols are some weird band names.

[ArcLite]

I always thought Def Leppard was a wierd one.

[heavy metal kid]

wu tang clan

[sumthing2prove]

I was just wondering, what in your guy's opinion is the wierdest name for a band that you have ever heard, not that the popularity of thier band, or the quality of thier music will not be taken into account when you are thinking of the wierdest band names, just do the wierdest band name kk? :thumb:
Hendrix was highly overrated(everyone was famous if they were a band during that time)...when you analyze something look at songwriting ability too.everyones entitled to their own opinion.take david gilmour for example,no other player can measure up to a fifth of what pours out of his sound..not a bad vocalist either...listen to the wall album..or wish you were here...but dont see the wall movie itll change your views if you already heard the album.

[bassist-bmxer]

Nuclear Rabbit.

[SomethingfromHolland]

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
AC/DC
Queen
Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars (i think its david bowie's band, im notsure if its the name)

[hybridreality]

Blink 182 and Sum 41... what the hell is the meaning behind those names?

Blink used to be called Blink originally, but some Irish techno band had the name already, so they changed it. The 182 has absolutely no meaning (according to Tom DeLonge).
Sum 41 were formed 41 days into the summer, quite simple.

I think Liquid Tension Experiment is kind of a weird name.

[AC-Zeppelin]

Bare Naked Ladies is a strange one

[daku]

The killers is one of the dumbest names for a band i've ever heard.

[SomethingfromHolland]

Sister Fister (a local punk cover band) isn't a very usual name

[QUOTE=DyingInside]Isn't Dillenger the guy who escaped from Alcatraz???

Dillenger didnt escape from alcatraz, he was a bank robber, i think in the 70s no sure though. his "..escape plan" was to burn his finger prints off with acid so that he could not be identified as John Dillenger, the bank robber. if you know finger prints or the story then you know it didnt work out for him.

anyway, band name: Horse the Band

[Hallowed Be Thy Name]

Sunno)))

I thought their name was sun))). Anyways, this kid i know used to have a band called Emperor Monkey...where the **** do you get that from?

[Hallowed Be Thy Name]

Haha, have you seen the video for Mr. Krinkle? He's wearing a pig mask and playing a stand up bass. It's the weirdest video I've seen.
