Wierdest band name.
 
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:

I's say Metallica is kind of a cheesy name but you get so used to hearing it, plus, they're good.

I hate the band name "Rufio".

"Red Hot Chili Peppers" is a pretty random band name along with "Bare Naked Ladies".

Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13.

Suffering Dead 03-10-2004 09:05 PM

The Pixies

7 Angels 7 Plagues is also another wierd name, I guess

I dunno....Maybe they learnt how to count?

I haven't the slightest clue about blink 182, but I know that sum 41 means one hand with 4 fingers clenching a fist I think, or doing something.... probably jerking. And you other hand giving the finger. meh.

For the guy who put System of a Down, they have a description of what their name means on the back of their debut album CD case :)

System of a Down = Today's system of society.

Led Zeppelin = In a review, they were said to be "as likely to succeed as a lead zeppelin".

Pink Floyd = Not sure.

MENTAL_666 03-10-2004 09:25 PM

Griffin_Page 03-10-2004 09:26 PM

[QUOTE=MENTAL_666]can we do band names that we made up or our own band names[/QUOTE]


No, because no one will have heard of that band name.

But, if we must go with local band names that are weird, i'll put some down:

Far From Lost
The Loss of Yesterday
Yesterday's Tommorow.

bozotheguitarplayer 03-10-2004 09:34 PM

Left Front tire (most horrible name I've ever heard)
Jetlag 360

PUNT 03-10-2004 09:47 PM

Meshuggah

Suffering Dead 03-10-2004 09:52 PM

Hmmm, I was going to say Meshuggah, but people beat me to it.

Strapping Young Lad = weird name

Twisted Sister

Anal Cunt (more or less funny)

blink 182: the 182 was a random number chosen after they were sued by a band name "Blink" cause they acussed them of stealing their name

sum 41: from what i heard they named it that cause they were formed on the 41st day of summer

theres a local band here called "GOSHO"...............Wtf is that...is there even such a word

extreme_191 03-11-2004 01:18 AM

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.

deftoned 03-11-2004 04:27 AM

It's [b]ZEPPELIN[/b]! The band was originally called the New Yardbirds, but Keith Moon said it was a ****ty name, so it got changed. A weird band name is The Brian Jonestown Massacre (what the hell does this mean?), Liquid Tension Experiment or Blue Oyster Cult

grungeguitarist 03-11-2004 04:35 AM

The Mars Volta is a kinda of weird name. Weird but cool.

JMetallica 03-11-2004 04:48 AM

The weirdest band name is definately...

"The Lord Weird Slough Feg"

Jondur 03-11-2004 05:41 AM

I was going to say that!!!

Other odd names:

Spam Javelin
Donkey Wong
Willow Wisp
Mysticum

DimebagDarrell 03-11-2004 06:14 AM
