2*Sweet.. worst band name ever?

[swoshe]

Just sayin. Can you think of anything worse?

[wewascontenders]

Too many to name.

[amysaurus]

Oh, absolutely. 2*Sweet is pretty horrible though.

[Carlo Marx]

b*witched

[MADSTA]

What is this band even like? Whenever I see news about them I just picture a group of girls like Miley Cyrus and Hilary Duff.

[Lacrimosa]

Hoobastank.

I mean, seriously what were you thinking?

[Tyler Revolution]

It's pretty awful, yes.

[thespearkid]

I've never even bothered to check this band out because their name leads me to believe they suck. Them, and 3OH!3.

[prettyinpinky89]

Did you guys ever hear of those brit one hit wonders named Five* in the late 90s...awful

[Chris Fallon]

It's not good, but chill out on the threads man.

[swoshe]

my bad. i'm just concerned with the usage of *'s

[Tyler Revolution]

man

[musicfiend]

I like it and the band is pretty cool.

[Regards]

Good thread...SYKE!

[whatwewant]

yeah. pretty bad. every time i see/hear it, i just imagine sped-up songs by the higher, coordinated dancing and plastic-coated quilted vests.

the name thing that bothers me most though is the underscore in the out_circuit. i have no good reason for it, though. just don't like it.

[entrepy]

Did you guys ever hear of those brit one hit wonders named Five* in the late 90s...awful

To make it worse, it was 5ive

How do you even pronounce that? Five-ive

[OdeToTheSun]

Hoobastank.

I mean, seriously what were you thinking?

lol, what the hell is that even supposed to mean???

[notoaststereo]

its pretty much the reason i havent given them a chance or tried to listen to them.

[Yes. And?]

What is this band even like? Whenever I see news about them I just picture a group of girls like Miley Cyrus and Hilary Duff.
Agreed, I totally thought that's what they were.

[hockeyguitar99]

it's a pretty shitty name

but there are worse

hoobastank was mentioned, and that ones worse.

I also dislike paramore, it bugs to that they just misspelled a word. its paramour.

[Until The Bombs]

*2Sweet...worst band name ever?....worst thread ever?

[Whimsikill]

I hate really boring band names, like Thursday or Thrice.

[Ouch]

Cute Is What We Aim For is a worse band name than 2 sweet.

[LV03]

i've seen them play before...theyre not that bad.

[PadraicPrincess]

Death cab for cutie.

I love this band but c'mon...

I was going to comment how I hate this band's name until this was posted.

4 LIFE.

[AlternateToLife]

This bores me.

[AlternateToLife]

Death cab for cutie.

I love this band but c'mon...

It's a reference to The Bonzo Dog Band. A strange choice, but I like the way Gibbard did that.

[Angylion Gefell]

!!!

[tomakebelieve]

What an original thought on their band name. -_-

[Miss Heartcore]

Good band, bad name.

I don't like VHS vs BETA...and I'm a Radio/TV grad.

[Genuma]

N*e*r*d*

[Lacrimosa]

Good band, bad name.

I don't like VHS vs BETA...and I'm a Radio/TV grad.

It's VHS or Beta.

[yoyoninjagirl]

I've never even bothered to check this band out because their name leads me to believe they suck. Them, and 3OH!3.
Yeah, 3OH!3 is just a turn off. I never even bothered to check them out simply because of their name.

[reissgoespunk]

I've never even bothered to check this band out because their name leads me to believe they suck. Them, and 3OH!3.

Same.

[Miss Heartcore]

It's VHS or Beta.
Touche. Still doesn't make me a fan.

[Lacrimosa]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

[kissmegoodbye]

it's a pretty shitty name

but there are worse

hoobastank was mentioned, and that ones worse.

I also dislike paramore, it bugs to that they just misspelled a word. its paramour.
Um, whoa buddy.
Paramore didn't just misspell a word. There's a meaning behind their name.

Anyways, I think Family Force 5, Horse The Band, and The Number Twelve Looks Like You are all pretty dumb band names.

[Pluto.]

I'm going to have to say.... Vaginal Discharge.

[hockeyguitar99]

Um, whoa buddy.
Paramore didn't just misspell a word. There's a meaning behind their name.

then tell me the meaning behind it, I'm sorry that I haven't researched this, I just know that the actual word is paramour.

[Bd_fallen]

then tell me the meaning behind it, I'm sorry that I haven't researched this, I just know that the actual word is paramour.


Middle English, from par amour for the sake of love, willingly, from Anglo-French par amur
: an illicit lover

[Bd_fallen]

i think Paramour is a beautiful word
i like the meaning behind it
idk why Paramore decided to spell it wrong
but i think it's a good band name

[hockeyguitar99]

i think Paramour is a beautiful word

I don't have an isssue with the word, just the fact that they mispelled it. And why is your colored and centered, its sort of obnoxious.

[AlternateToLife]

... Are you writing a poem?

[cornfieldlova]

Yeah, 3OH!3 is just a turn off. I never even bothered to check them out simply because of their name.

303 is Denver's area code, 3oh3 are from Denver... It was actually kind of smart on their part because they became fairly big locally fairly quickly.

I really dislike 2*sweet though, I saw them with Set Your Goals and eww.

[kissmegoodbye]

then tell me the meaning behind it, I'm sorry that I haven't researched this, I just know that the actual word is paramour.
They chose the name because one of their friend's mom's maiden name was Paramore.

I know it's a stupid reason to choose a name, but that's the story behind it.

[Angylion Gefell]

A Fire Inside.

[stfu_man]

Ok, if you have a big avatar, I deserve one too.

[GuitarR0cker1]

Well now that we have gotten the extremely shitty band names out, I have to admit I hate all of these post-grunge/cock rock names. Fuel, Staind, Live, Creed, Disturbed, come on is that all they could think of?

[hockeyguitar99]

They chose the name because one of their friend's mom's maiden name was Paramore.

I know it's a stupid reason to choose a name, but that's the story behind it.

alright we at least there is a story behind it

also I hate the name care bears on fire

[OdeToTheSun]

What do you expect from a trio of 12 year olds?

[hockeyguitar99]

What do you expect from a trio of 12 year olds?

thats true

I just got their CD today. It's alright, better than the name at least.

[OdeToTheSun]

really, I saw them in the new issue of AP magazine. good enough to check out?

[hockeyguitar99]

if you like be your own pet then yes, and if you don't know BYOP think of an edgier paramore

[Yes. And?]

... Are you writing a poem?
But of course. And what poem is complete without obnoxious coloring and italics?

Ladies and gentlemen, our next Poet Laureate! :appl:

[OdeToTheSun]

if you like be your own pet then yes, and if you don't know BYOP think of an edgier paramore

Heck yeah I know BYOP. I will check them out then for sure.

[Kid Defender]

I feel like a douche when I refuse to listen to a band because of their name, but I'll make an exception with this one. I could never bring myself to listen to these guys entirely because of the name.

[Angylion Gefell]

Again, A Fire Inside.

[EchoPark]

Boys Like Girls is a pretty fucking awful band name.

but my vote for the worst band name is The Number 12 Looks Like You.

The Twilight Zone episode was cool, but to name your band that is just stupid.

[chipdip18]

I agree, i think that would be a tight song name though.

[Hamlet]

Even by boy band standards, 2*Sweet is just way too cheesy.

But there are worse ones:

!!!
The The
Hoobastank
Limp Bizkit

Please refer to:

http://www.cracked.com/article_15118_25-most-ridiculous-band-names-in-rock-history.html

Also:
Uh Huh Her
Panic! At the Disco (at least they removed the !, so it now makes more sense)
Family Force 5 (sounds like a shitty sitcom)

I feel like a douche when I refuse to listen to a band because of their name, but I'll make an exception with this one. I could never bring myself to listen to these guys entirely because of the name.

Don't worry, they suck anyway, so you don't have to feel like a douche.

I was going to stereotype, but I remember seeing pre-teen boys do the same thing. Which is scarier.

I liked the "!". It was a reference to "Panic!", a song by Name Taken. I think there is more to the story, but that's as much as I know.

[positive hearts]

The Crazy Dogggz, although to be fair it was just a fictional band in the last Flight of the Conchords episode. Still, almost so bad it's good, but not quite.

Also, DCFC is one of my favorite band names, shame on anyone considering it to be one of the worst.

[Yes. And?]

Again, A Fire Inside.
I've heard worse.

[kevinrocks409]

they're fucking terrible too

[Angylion Gefell]

MxPx. They're a great band, but they put X's in their name. That's inexcusable.

Also, there's a grind band called Preschool Tea-Party Massacre, that I keep on my iPod just so people see the name when they're looking through it.

[hockeyguitar99]

I think people just like it because of how it abbreviates.

[Bd_fallen]

and i get a kick out of people who have nothing better to do than bash on people they dont even know and start shit on the internet

Your posts give people headaches. So I'd say you're starting the shit. All you have to do is not type like that, and no one will bother you. Unless you say something stupid.

[Bd_fallen]

whats wrong with purple??

[Ouch]

my eyes.

if it pleases you all i shall write in black
but i see no problem with purple

They were called 5ive...which is essentially worse.

[sandra92]

Bush ..

[chaosB4storm]

korn....ugh

[fly_guy]

You forgot to center it and enlarge it. What a shame.....

[thefinestline.]

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and The All-American Rejects are just ugly.

[SSLYBY]

A girl, A gun, A ghost.

[Anthony Lutz]

Thanks for typing normal for once.

I think a really bad band name is Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza

[elenar011]

as i lay dying is a pretty terrible name

[pand75]

so is every time i die. but they rock

[elenar011]

or a life once lost

[pand75]

a girl, a gun, a ghost is still the worst.

[elenar011]

HEY!! it's not Safari Nuissance, but it's good.

[elenar011]

teehee

[pand75]

geemee

i like the band A LOT, but something about hearing "weezer" said always makes my lungs hurt.

[thingschange]

GrimSkunk

wtf

[Master Shake]

so is every time i die. but they rock
i'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one. the bad name part, that is.

[pand75]

!!! (Chk Chck Chick) whatever the hell it is

[thingschange]

haha, yeah i forgot about !!!
hahahaha.
wow thats dumb.

how about the Ting Tings.

[sandra92]

haha, yeah i forgot about !!!
hahahaha.

Ahah . Never heard about Ting Tings .. But that's really bad :P
I find Yellowcard a stupid name .. And I don't like the band that much .

[mynameiscarterr]

It's pretty bad.
I just think of the nWo Wolfpack every time I see it.

[chazjobro]

Right now I'm thinking of...

The Academy Is...
The Devil Wears Prada
Kyuss
Alexisonfire
Gym Class Heroes
America
I Am Ghost
Voodoo Glow Skulls
and speaking of Vooodoo we can throw Monster Voodoo Machine and Big Bad Vooodoo Daddy in there too.

[DisenShaanted]

I'm a fan of the band name 2*sweet solely for the fact that it obviously stems from the NWO Wolfpack. Kevin Nash was and still is the shit. And the Wolfpack theme...so badass.

[tD77]

First time I told a friend about this band and told them the name, their reaction was "...is what?"

You can't hate on America without hating on other similar single name bands with geological references (if that was what you were going for.)

[chazjobro]

I like your friends reaction to The Academy Is... I've been wondering the same thing.

Okay I'll add Kansas, Boston, Alabama, Sparta, and Asia to the list. I know there are more geographically named bands out there, but these are the first ones I thought of.

[Chris Fallon]

So I made an attempt to listen to the new 2*Sweet album today.

The vocals ruined it for me. It sounds like half the time, their singer is having a panic attack while constipated. He's trying to be Daryl Palumbo but fails miserably.

[Pluto.]

Anal Cunt.

[cereal4life]

It IS a pretty shite name, I have to say. Mind you, as other people have said, there are crappier out there! OH!3! or whatever it is is pretty crap too. Or the old verb-the-noun format like Escape the Fate.

interesting comparison.
haha.

[xxMelissaMarie]

then tell me the meaning behind it, I'm sorry that I haven't researched this, I just know that the actual word is paramour.
Paramore got their name from their friends mom's maiden name i'm pretty sure.

[thingschange]

thats a friggin sweet last name if what you said is true.

[pcyph]

anyone say the butthole surfers yet?

everytime someone says it my butt hurts.

[elenar011]

gorguts

[crushlustcrash]

i hate it.fuck.
its weird and it sounds hannah montanna-ish.
did i spell that correctly?
fuck who cares?xDD

[thingschange]

Cute Is What We Aim For = wtf name?
i read the story in AP how they came up with it.
... kinda fucked.

[chazjobro]

The Yeah Yeah Yeah's. The name of that band is like nails on a chalkboard to me.


Heres another one: Question Mark and the Mysterians. They did that song "96 Tears" from the early sixties. Terrible band name.
