Hi all
Well we started out, as a joke calling ourselves "Subject To Change" because we couldn't decide on a name. Well we finally decided. Drum roll please................................................... My Bands Name is ........................................................................................................................................................................
GUIDED BY MONKEYS

Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

I like it.

Its playful, and teases the brain a bit. But you know all your closest associates are going to say "I dont get it" :shock:

It's unlikely you'll find ANY band name that isn't pretty similar to another, or already used.

GUIDED BY MONKEYS
Close! It should be:
The "GUIDED BY MONKEYS" Project
or:
The "GUIDED BY MONKEYS" Company

Too bad you didn't let us know you were looking for a Band name.
We could have held a contest here.
We would have some fun and you might have come up with a better name.
(not that yours is that bad . . . I'm just saying)
I love brainstorming . . . I don't have a lot to work with but . . .
. . . . that has never stopped me.

For instance, Varigated Planaria
(I bet no rock group has that name)

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

Jim LOL, I misread it too.
Seriously, we've been going round and round for about 3 months trying to come up with a name that we could all agree on.
We went through a list of over 50 names before we finally agreed. I'm just glad it's over

Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

Congrat TP, on the final band name. :)

Now a mere personal POV on 'Monkeys' -

Ladies and Gentlemen. The time has come. It has been talked over since ages. The era of monkeys has once again come. Infact in today's show we will be 'Guided by Monkeys'.

By the way, I used the MF Random Band Name Generator (put the word 'monkey') and got these results :

Neat Monkey
Corn of the Monkey
Pretty Platter of the Macro Monkey
Monkey Stone
Monkey Neck
Rapid Monkey
Rewetting Monkey
Monkey of the Wine
Failing Monkey
Monkey Stick
Monkey Shadow
Monkey Goose
Monkey Moose
Monkey Sermon
Monkey of the Evolving
Maroon Hamburger of the Monkey Beaver
Monkey Gory
Grape of the Monkey
Monkey Tax
Dumping Monkey
Monkey Widow
Juice Legacy
Monkey Thursday
Monkey Gonad
Monkey of the Reactor

So, we may see that so many other bandnames are there with 'monkey' as the central concept. This proves that monkeys are slowly gaining their worthy position of ruling the planet earth. Indeed the day is not far off, when the human race will be overpowered by monkeys and world peace shall truely be restored. And I am sure 'Arctic Monkeys' will agree with me.

Note - I am not a sales agent of monkeys.

Which would lead to the
Era of the Monkeys (also referred to as Planet of the Apes)
World Peace?
I believe it evolved into
Monkey Wars
But then again, there were so many sequels because of its success.
You might say it was good
Monkey Business

OK, I'm through (Monkeying Around)

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

I like it.
I know how hard it is to get a group of people to agree on something so I can empethize with you. If you raise the idea of changing the name, it will take another 3-4 months.

That said, don't monkey around with the name. (You had to know that was coming)

Teamwork- A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction.
