Post your imaginary band name.
I just saw a posting for a local band, named: For The Win.
Today I feel like if I started a band in the next five minutes, I’d call it: Below Average Taste

on one of those band name finders I saw one that was kinda funny.

I also saw Dan Steely but thought it needed an add on name like…
Dan Steely and the Thrillwhich makes me think of guitar oriented names like…
Seth Lover and the Humbuckers
or
Seth Lover and the Varitonesactual band names of bands I have been in beginning in 1985.

i was jamming with some dudes and we were just getting things going. we hadn’t discussed a name or anything yet. then we were hanging out together one night at a bar watching another band and the waitress asked us if we were a band. we said yes. and then asked what we were called. the other guitar player just blurted out robin hood. and it just sort of stuck. so we messed with the spelling and settled on Robynn Hoodd.

Back in 2009 when I was still in TN I played in an 80s metal cover band that every member was anywhere from 33-40. We called ourselves Long in The Tooth.
Back when grunge and alternative got big and you had all of those melancholy college rock bands with completely unmusical names, I kept waiting too hear of yet ANOTHER melancholy college rock hit of the week with the band name “The Stewed Prunes.”
I would love to hear that one. “Thanks for coming out and supporting The Stewed Prunes.”

My first high school band. We couldn’t think of a name and almost called ourselves Ziggy and The Impalas. Our singers nick name was Ziggy, and our bass player, the only guy with a driver’s license, had a ‘78 Impala.
Good times. That name would have been terrible or sheer genius for a metal band. But alas…..

Kind of an aside, but back in high school we were holding auditions for a singer and my friend Sean would hang upstairs and wait to see if the audition was going ok. If not, he would come downstairs dressed like a cross between the guys in Man ‘O War, and Ronnie Dio from the Holy Diver video with a re-curve style bow and one arrow ready for the draw, ask how the audition was going, and however we answered would reply,”That’s great. I’m off to hunt venison.” It truly did shorten up the time we had to spend with really bad singers. I miss that guy! If the internet existed back then we would have been famous from the stupidity of our everyday lives back then.
Oh, there used to be this awesome variety band in danviile Il that were just awesome. Great musicians and the sweetest six part harmonies (everybody in the band had a great voice). There name? Willard Cratchlow.

“Foo Fighters” must be the worst band name of all time. even grohl agrees.
“Around the time that I recorded the first FF tape (that became the first record), I was reading a lot of books on UFO’s. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books!” he said.
“So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS (WW2 term for UFO’s) might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?”
Continuing, Dave Grohl insisted that a more appropriate name could have been chosen. “Had I actually considered this to be a career, I probably would have called it something else, because it’s the stupidest fucking band name in the world.”
I hearby rename grohl’s band: “Stinky Poprock Foo”

Agreed. For me, the time in which they came out was a low point in rock music. I call it the grunge pop era. Just as bad as the so called metal ballad era, but with sludgy guitars. All aimed at the same target audience age range, but in differing times.

Does anyone remember the first band with that name? Somewhere around ‘91 was a band called the Fu Fighters. I remember seeing an article on them, Dinosaur Jr., ad Susana Hoff plugging her solo album.
I never understood why there were no legal battles over the name.

the jam session with the new band went pretty well for a first time jam.
we played thru; fumbled thru; or otherwise attempted about 25 songs. about half sounded pretty good.
the band had been called slight chance of overload but it was suggested that we come up with a new name.
names thrown into the pot so far include…
warning bell
regiment
monkey business
forbidden fruit
flashback
midlife crisis
diamonds & rust
diamonds in the rough
second chance band
last chance band
last call
bad habit
broken road
unfinished business
loose endslooking for your opinions…or other suggestions.

i’m not on board with pun based names which imply the band or members are over the hill, I had that problem locally too (“Lets call ourselves ‘Those Old Guys’ !” ummm how about, no) So.. last chance band, last call, midlife crisis, etc like that, don’t vibe for me, but others might like that style.
The diamonds & rust is interesting in that it reflects a song (altho probably not a great name itself), so maybe mash-up the song titles or chorus lines of the band’s 3 best songs.. like, American Midnight Rider, or American Wild, or Sweet Weekend Run. Ok those are a mouthful but that’s an idea to generate more ideas..
“Broken Road” – lol “I Broke my back lifting this amp and can’t get on the Road” ;-D Adult problems, lol

hhhmmm…
i didn’t think of last call as an old guy name.
i thought of it as a common phrase in a bar where local bands tend to play. as in last call for alcohol. or just simply last call.
i like diamonds and rust because it just rolls off the tongue quite well in my opinion.
and i like monkey business because it implies fun and that we don’t take ourselves too seriously.and i like the mashup song titles idea.

This is why I didn’t like Rammstein when they started. Because their name is a direct reference to a lethal accident (a crash at a flightshow) and the associated tune isn’t even that respectful to the victims. Considering their popularity, apparently it kind of depends on how close to home it is. There is also a band called El Nino. Not sure how accepted that is.

I really liked that song live saw the original band with Kelly and Drew play it numerous times, then later when Rudy joined too. I always thought they called it “Back to the Coast” though. So, just looked it up and I see they did change the name on their first vinyl. I had both of these Japanese vinyl albums which I gave away for nothing as far as $$$ back when I left. They were limited release, bought them both direct from Lori H. their Fan club girl.

El Niño requires the ñ. Nobody in Latin America is going to get upset about it. “The kid” or “the Child/boy”.

I thought Rammstein was named after the large Air base in Germany.
Back in 1996 at the Pinkpop festival when I first heard of them they made very clear references to burning aircraft falling from the skies. Anneke van Giersbergen (vocalist in The Gathering back then) mentioned she didn’t want to watch them because of this.
Just checked wikipedia and found
The band called themselves Rammstein-Flugschau (Rammstein Airshow)[2] after the 1988 Ramstein air show disaster. Guitarist Paul Landers said the spelling of Ramstein with the extra “m” was a mistake.[3] After the band became popular, the band members denied the connection to the air show disaster and said that their name was inspired by the giant doorstop-type devices found on old gates, called Rammsteine.[4] The extra “m” in the band’s name makes it translate literally as “ramming stone”.
So erm… ramming stone it is then. Fair enough, as artists grow up they often no longer feel related to their early gory or aggressive lyrics and band names. After Max Cavalera left Sepultura he also mentioned that this band name no longer jived with how he felt and Soulfly was just a much better fit.

This is brilliant: Someone is putting on a concert made up of local (or sometimes better known) cover bands. Many have cool names. But the winner is the Van Halen cover band named …wait for it… In Halen.
Clever 80s drug reference.
