I just read A-J's comment in another thread, which lead me to this:
If you want your band to make money, its name should be "You Suck"
That would sell a ton of t-shirts...
--Steve
If you're enjoying it, are you still a struggling artist??
D~~n the man, save the Empire!
A band name should be more than words. Think where the band met, or how they started, or what u guys have in common. For example, Tool originated back when they were in school (long story). So think about it.
There's a thin fine line between hate and rage.
Now watch the line be crossed and break!
In my town when they advertise any event thay don't even say the name of the band they just say "Tonight Live Band". So next band I'm in I'm going to simply call Live Band. Think of all the free advertising! :wink:
Remember, If it was meant to be easy everybody would be a great guitarist.

Bands with names like "Free Dinner" and "Drinks on the House" tend not to get bookings . . .

Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.
A few friends of mine considered using "Anal Tap" but they do jazzy-bluesy stuff so it didn't fit. WOuld be great for a heavy band though.
It would certainly catch attention and people would remember the name if they heard it in passing...
On a side note, "Twisted Sister" has got to be about the best band name ever. Something of that flavor, a "wild" reference, is always a good fit for a hard rock or metal band.
Since it's a Metal band how about Scrap Iron?
Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

If I should eveer venture into a band, I'd call it Csar Chasm (well, that's the only idea I can put on GN, anyway!!!).
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

I recall my favorite punk band name of all time,
"The F*cks"
but for the more metal approach, it's gonna need something not quite so absurd.
hmmm, I wonder if you guys are even looking at this forum, that gives me more freedom, so here's the name I suggest as if you weren't even going to galnce at it.
Fingersnap, wait, that's actually a little catchy, so there's the cool one.
but for the real one, Snatchrocket.
I don't follow my dreams, I just ask em' where they're going and catch up with them later.
