Your Favorite Band Names
 

Do you have a favorite band name? Not necessarily your favorite band, but some name that you like?

I like Dropkick Murphys

...read my signature.

But there are cooler names than that. ;)

My fav name is Squirrel Nut Zippers.

Oh yeah Incubus too...check out the meaning.

An evil spirit supposed to descend upon and have sexual intercourse with women as they sleep.

I like Funky Moses and the Red Sea Pedestrians...that or Sonic Vomit....

Plump DJs
Reel Big Fish
Rogue Traders

There was a local band to me called,

Ken Dodd's Dad's dog is dead.

Ken Dodd is an old uk comic.

I Think RUN DMC is a sick name

I also like

The Incredible Bongo Band
Parliament Funkadelic
MOP (Mash Out Posse)
Monsta Island Czars
NTM (Nique Ta Mere)
The Funky Four + One
Anal ****

Incubus

Nirvana

and

The Used

Well, I've got a dream to start a band with the name Miscellanious, the name would say it all, we're gonna play everything under the sun.. but from existing bands.

theres a local all-girl punk band called The Whoremoans where I am, they're not that great apparently but I like the name

Along those lines.... Cherry Poppin Daddies :D

Thrice is pretty kick ass

The Smashing Pumpkins is pretty cool also

...I like no use for a name.

Guttermouth, and (an artist) Del the Funky Homosapien.

some guys a knew a few years ago named their band "goddamnit eric" (GDE for short) eric'd the drummer, and apparently the phrase come up pretty often

some are named i agree with so don't kill me if i repeated.... no use for a name, the used, always gotta love incubus, death cab for cutie, from autumn to ashes, opeth, underoath, my chemical romance, smashing pumpkins, oasis

I like Pariah...

The Darkness would be a cool name if it was remotely true.

As it is I kind of like Turin Brakes although I don't know what it means. I like The Polyphonic Spree too.

Glue Gun. Thats a badass name.

I like high pitched screams of satisfaction (the band name OK?!), a local band lol... And Screeching Weasel, and NOFX is a catchy name i guess lol

Gangstarr :p They lyrics are ill... :)

hands down, best name ever goes to..

xvincentpricesorphanpowereddeathmanchinex

hoobastank. have no idea what it means, sounds like complete nonsense to me, thats why it appeals to me, i guess

for me it would have to be the thrash metal band.....ANTHRAX
its just in your face. it stands out. and its short and catchy.
:band:

Rise Against because of the image it conjurs (at least in my head)

Fear Before The March Of Flames

Scars Of Tommorow

Bad Luck 13 Riot Extravaganza (at their last show (hellfest) someone jumped from a balcony and broke both their legs and back...talk about living up to your name!)

atombombpocketknife

angels in the architecture

...and you will know us by the trail of our dead

calculater man and hanger

shai hulud

Hardcore has the best band names me thinks...

Thosand Foot Krutch
Rehab
Smile Empty Soul
Switchfoot

and they will know us by the trail of dead

rise against...i see the picture too

glassjaw

afireinside

Gangstarr and EPMD etc... too many to name

i like Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Saosin, Hidden In Plain View, and Autopilot Off. theres lots more but i dont wanna be typing all night.

bad luck 13 is ***. as soon as hellfest left my hometown (syracuse) i knew that fest was going to suck. everyone was suprised that bad luck 13 RIOT extravaganza caused a RIOT. who saw that coming.

you cant expect much less when you have fear factory headlining a HARDCORE festival.

that fest has gone down the ****ter.
