Best/Most Creative Band Name

[mcr_fob_aarx3]

Basically, what is the best, or most creative band name you've heard, even if you dont like or listen to them. Mine would be Drop Dead, Gorgeous. I think its an alltogether creative name, though I dont listen to them, I saw them on a line up for an upcoming tour...

[AP_Punk]

No. They have a lame band name.

[MyDenverMax]

Plot broke up and they were jazz infused hardcore.... not noise in anyway. I miss them.

This must have been recently because I remember seeing they were coming to Houston last fall, when did it happen? I haven't seen them live in a couple years, but I always keep them in mind.

And i'm not one to argue over genres, it just doesn't matter enough to me.

it makes me picture a rad muscle car/spaceship.The name of Irvine Welsh's book is "Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance". They got the idea from the book, but they didn't steal it. Plenty of bands take inspiration from books, movies, pop culture, etc. It's not stealing or ripping off.

Anyways, The Grateful Dead, NoFx, Thursday(I kinda like the simplicity of it), Pig Destroyer.

never heard of him/them, but aahhhhh... it's still clever, even though not original.

[inertiatic]

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, The Receiving End Of Sirens, Maylene and The Sons Of Disaster, He Is Legend, Death From Above 1979 just because they kick ass and they got that name from Apocalypse Now. Least creative goes to bands like The Devil Wears Prada which is a pretty good band but did probably just saw the commercials for that movie like a year ago. Least DFA1979 had to use some ingenuity to come out with a name used for a helicopter in a late 1970's Vietnam Movie.

[underthetalking]

Isn't Scary Kids Scaring Kids a Cap'n Jazz song? That would make that name unoriginal.

[Dan CiTi]

What's sad is that I'm willing to bet that you don't even know where that comes from.

Oh, and I'm surprised Anal Cunt hasn't been said yet. Haha.

[Praetor]

Yes, but unfortunately, most people who listen to SKSK have never even eard of Cap'n Jazz.

That site is pretty funny. Some of the things are just ridiculous. An explanation for 182 in Blink 182 is that there are 364 days in the year and half is 182.

dude, there are 365 days in a year.
and although the members of blink had always changed their reasons for the "182" i.e. the number of times "fuck" is said in scarface, the number of sexual partners, etc. it was actually just a random number.

broken social scene
explosions inthe sky
planes mistaken for stars

Did everyone completely disregard my first 2 sentences? I said, "That site has some pretty ridiculous things." Then I proceeded to describe one such ridiculous thing. Not a complicated process.

[CellarGhosts]

Cold War Kids is a pretty cool name.
Good band too.

[Sleepaway]

I think As Tall As Lions is cool.

Oh and Drive Like I Do

[Sleepaway]

how this kid thinks Dallas leads Alexisonfire is beyond me. Definitely an assett but not the main picture.

[funkel]

Bono Must Die is just my fave band name.
Ha, that one's pretty sweet. Even though I love U2.

[fghtffyrpls]

Basically, what is the best, or most creative band name you've heard, even if you dont like or listen to them. Mine would be Drop Dead, Gorgeous. I think its an alltogether creative name, though I dont listen to them, I saw them on a line up for an upcoming tour...
How is that creative? They stole the name of a Kirsten Dunst movie.

[im.so.scene]

I thought Death Cab For Cutie was cool...until I learnt they just stole it from a song....like so many before them.

[duhpunk]

rufio.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

rufio.

love the band, but where did they get the name from. don't tell me the peter pan movie...

[duhpunk]

:shrug: i just like the name. if they stole it from that, then props to the Peter Pan creator dude or whoever.

[USA_Underdog]

I think the most creative is The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus I still don't know what that means. :-|

[xglassjawx]

The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza.

[mcr_fob_aarx3]

How is that creative? They stole the name of a Kirsten Dunst movie.

I've never heard of that movie, therefore I had no idea that was even a movie title, so I found it to be a creative band name.

[Luke629]

Bring Me The Horizon!

&

I Killed The Prom Queen




i have always liked these names

[Luke629]

I think the most creative is The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus I still don't know what that means. :-|

their myspace gives an explaination but it makes no sense really.....

[KStump1023]

Fallen Dreams
The Judged
The Eyes have Slain
Dreaming is Dead
Faces of Hell

These aren't the most creative,but i like Dreaming is Dead and The Eyes have slain
