What would you name your band?

[Swede]

Fist and Scrape are already taken.

[KurtNYC]

1. "50-cent draft beer"

You put that on a marquee and people will show up.

Unless we were opening for "Better Than Ezra" in that case I would name my band: "Ezra"

[RedStateShame]

11. "Pontius Pilate and the Nail Drivin' Five"

[Derailer]

45. For some reason this made me think

of an idea my brother and I use to have: Nine Inch Nuns

3. Special Guests

[LeftyMom]

4. The Braless Militant Vegans

But first I have to bump off Xema so I wouldn't owe her royalties on that since she made it up.*

*Not that it matters, I can't even play my ipod and I'm not much of a singer either.

[MissMillie]

5. "Your Name Here"

Just like you seen in those cutesy catalogs that have personalized items for sale.

[swimboy]

6. Bleach Pancake or maybe Granite Parfait.

[mikeytherat]

26. Two actual rejected names from "The Great Band Name Project*"

*when we had to change our name so we could copyright and reincorporate our band. We had a list of about 1500 suggestions the 10 of us contributed - here are two rejects from the list:

Drop-kick Chihuahua
Sapphic Frenzy

I hope these get utilized by a band someday; it would be a shame for them to go to waste.

10. I remember a British metal band named "Fist" from the 70-80's.

I don't think that they were very popular, but I got a demo LP from my uncle who worked at a radio station that I really liked. One of the cuts was called "Fleet Street", and was about Sweeney Todd. I don't remember too much about the song except for the lyrics: "Eating people-pies / Evil in his eyes...."

Anyhow, it was pretty cool.

[WoodyTobiasJr]

12. The Ron Jeremy All-Stars

[maveric]

13. "Damaged Goods".

Great name for a band of middle-aged rockers.

[jadedconformist]

It's a good song too.

[gollygee]

16. "Shocking Cows"

When I was just out of college I was writing for a newspaper and had to keep writing stories about a dairy farm where the farmer claimed the cows were being shocked by stray electrical currents.

I decided that Shocking Cows would be a cool punk girl band name. But I have no musical talent so the name has not been used.

[SacredCow]

17. Tequila Mockingbird n/t

[kwassa]

18. That name is already taken by a band

[WoodyTobiasJr]

19. If it was an 80s cover band...

It would be "See Thomas Howl"

[SacredCow]

33. Yeah- Several, in fact...

I don't want to say how long ago I dreamed up that name (it certainly pre-dated the internet!).

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. If it were a punk band

the name I came up with like 20 years ago, when punk was punk:

Open Wound.

[WoodyTobiasJr]

21. If it was a punk band...

Dangerously Overcrowded Electrical Outlet

[kwassa]

22. Severe Tire Damage

the name of my fantasy punk band.

Do not back up!

[jadedconformist]

23. The Tapping Asses n/t

[Trigger Hippie]

24. Scurvy or The Rickets

I want a band named after a disease. :crazy:

[Ekirh]

28. The Commie Dogs

In Tribute to my Shar Pei (Who's nickname is Communist Dog)

[NewWaveChick1981]

29. New Wave Chicks in Bondage

Actually had this idea with a dorm friend of mine in college! :D Seeing as how neither she nor I had a shred of musical talent between the two of us, this idea was quickly squashed. But it sounded cool..... :P

[LSK]

30. the Amazing Flamewars

:popcorn:

[tonekat]

31. The Social Scientists

[Lady Effingbroke]

32. Buck Nekkid and the Slappers.

[ghostsofgiants]

34. The Voices In My Head

"Dude, what are you listening to?"
"The Voices In My Head."

Yeah, I'm a clever one.

[Derailer]

44. No, The Voices In Your Head

"Dude, what are you listening to?"
"The Voices In Your Head."
"Shit, you hear 'em too?"

[GoddessOfGuinness]

35. Parthenogenesis

An all-girl classical-death-jazz-punk-metal band.

[KamaAina]

36. "These Guys Haven't Heard of You, Either"

Bryan Adams was actually going to title his first album "Bryan Adams Hasn't Heard of You, Either". I think he should have.

[no name no slogan]

37. "Free Beer Tonight", or "Benito & the Bluegrass Fascists"

[Book Lover]

38. Anarchy Fetus or

It Takes Some Getting Used To

[Va Lefty]

39. "Known Felons"

[flvegan]

40. Hot Naked Chicks

I figure, I never need to release an album. I just trademark the name and start lawsuits against any strip club that uses that in an advertisement. My family will be quite rich after the mob takes me out.

Actually, since I have no original musical talent, I'd like to be in a Beastie Boys tribute band called Rhymin' and Stealin' or something.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

41. Acne.

42. Hammer Clock
