[QUOTE=A_Life_Once_Lost]Meshuggah means crazy in swedish(sp?) not hebrew...[/QUOTE]

The band is swedish(Im pretty sure of that), but Meshuggah is not a swedish word. Not one commonly used in the last 500 years at least.

Squirrel 05-07-2004 10:08 AM

Isn't Meshugga Yiddish or Hebrew or something ?

HAX 05-07-2004 10:32 AM

[B]Pink[/B] Anderson and the[B] Floyd[/B] Council.

Really old bands that heavily influenced their music.

CellPhone3000 05-11-2004 08:18 PM

the weirdest band name i have heard is the Butthole Surfers

Zig Heil 05-11-2004 09:07 PM

Nine Inch Nails...Good band wierd name

salparadise094 05-11-2004 10:23 PM

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, i saw these guys, they are kinda organic industrial with a lot of homemade instruments. its good ****, think early Einsturzende Neubauten. Actually, now that i think about it, Einsturzende Neubauten is a weird name (Yes, i am aware that they are German, but it translates to "collapsing new buildings" which is still rather strange"

salparadise094 05-11-2004 10:27 PM

Nihilist Spasm Band, Acid Mothers Temple, Throbbing Gristle, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, ***** Galore, ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, Jesus and Mary Chain, Theoretical Girls, and Bark Psychosis to name a few. heh.

Beecher, Gorgoroth and what does tiamat and opeth actually mean?

crossface 05-12-2004 05:10 AM

limpbizkit... sounds cool... but it is really stupid

isthatyourcabbage 05-12-2004 06:08 AM

i can't believe nobody's mentioned nerf herder in this.... let alone zz top - surely these are contenders...

as for the blink 182 debate... i read someone said they weren't sued... i believe there is an Irish techno band that went by the name blink, and who threatened them with legal action, so they added the 182. Several reasons are there for the 182 - 1)the ideal weight 2)the scarface f***'s 3)no reason at all.

I can put to rest the birthday month thing - mark hoppus was born in March - which is the 3rd month...

and yes I'm a fan...

His Curse (DR) 05-12-2004 06:43 AM

yourcodenameis:milo

The Von Bondies sounds like a weird name to me.

[QUOTE=blink182_fan2019]no band sued blink 182 they seen a movie that said **** 182 times pal and it blinked it out so they named there band blink 182[/QUOTE]

And yes, a band actually did sue Blink 182 (formerly Blink) for having the same name. Know your facts before you claim to be that big of a fan.

Led Zeppelin? why is that weird? The "Zeppelin" was a german blimp, and it fell like lead from the sky. Duh

bob_the_killer_62 06-03-2004 01:24 PM

i'd say a local band called "The Urban Monkeys" is kind of weird

iceman3019 06-03-2004 11:46 PM

a retarded band name would be thursday. naming a band after a day of the week is nothing but pure stupidity at its height.

superawesome88 06-03-2004 11:56 PM

Finger eleven, the meat puppets, AFI, presidentys of the US, The The,

and Witch Hazel....they stole the band name ive wanted for YEARS

ISukAtEverything 06-04-2004 12:04 AM

LOL, my band...me and my friends like Ska, but ska kind of went dead like 4 yrs ago, haha, so we made a Metal/Ska band, we call it Aluminum, ahaha, I know, we are stupid, I didn't say we weren't...LOL. Anyway, the name of our band is, The Christmas Buttons...yeah, I think that qualifies as weird...

DefClaypool 06-04-2004 02:37 PM

[QUOTE=Cardboard Headgear]Planes Mistaken For Stars[/QUOTE]
That is a pretty weird name, but I am absolutely in love with that band.

Led Zeppelin came from when Keith Moon (I think) said the band would go down like a blimp made of led or something like that.
