What is the Dumbest Band Name?

[No Control]

Is it just me or are bands names just getting terrible?? Its like "Flames from the Sides on Friday Night drives with Thorns every Day I go to the New York Skyline.."

I mean they are just all THE SAME and terrible.

for me I think
"A Thorn For Every Heart" is just terrible. So typical.

[_astheruinfalls]

I hate band names with XpenisX. Like, I respect straightedge kids ( if they know what it even mean, ) but come one now. They just annoy me.

[shrguy]

hmmmm dumbest... its probably not the 'dumbest' band name but i think hoobastank is extremely different. a band ending in 'stank' is gonna be funny.

[Shoes]

randy,good band but just such a shit name. "what you listening to?" "randy"nice

[MaybeOneDay]

A Thorn For Every Heart
Fear Before the March of Flames

[Lets Deja Vu]

way to many to list at this moment

[The Dove Song]

Ashlee Simpson

...wait

Smile Empty Soul

[KarolaBloch]

hmmm..

hmm... thats it for now.

[gmc14]

saosin... only cuz its in such big letters right above this post and because I can't pronounce it and dunno what the hell it means, feel free to enlighten me

[_astheruinfalls]

It's like Japanese, I don't remember exactly what it means, though.

[Tyler Revolution]

It's a chinese proverb, and it's pronounced "Say-Ocean". And it means "Love with Caution".

[gmc14]

I retract that statement

[The Bled 13]

A Thorn For Every Heart
Fear Before the March of Flames

Yup, I agree. Two dumb fucking band names.

And it's prounounced Say-Ocean? Damn I said it wrong all the time, I have never ever heard a single song from this band..but judging by the name they seem dark..melodic..good.


HAHA.

[Chemical Love]

i think death metal bands have some of the dumbest names ever.

[Tyler Revolution]

Yup, I agree. Two dumb fucking band names.

And it's prounounced Say-Ocean? Damn I said it wrong all the time, I have never ever heard a single song from this band..but judging by the name they seem dark..melodic..good.


HAHA.

You definitely need to check them out then. And even though its pronounced "Say-Ocean" I always say "Say-O-Sin" just because I like it better.

[Speyside]

It's a chinese proverb, and it's pronounced "Say-Ocean". And it means "Love with Caution".

Oh man, I don't know why, but I always thought it was "Sai-O-Sin" and it was a city in Jersey. Again, I don't know why, but I really thought that. Haha oh well, pretty good band though.

[burntheaction]

Oh man, I don't know why, but I always thought it was "Sai-O-Sin" and it was a city in Jersey. Again, I don't know why, but I really thought that. Haha oh well, pretty good band though.

[sunrisehighway]

Agreed with all the bands above. I love Death Cab, but sometimes I wonder about that name. To be perfectly honest I have no idea what it means though, i have never looked into it.

[KarolaBloch]

dude pat do yourself a huge favor and listen to a song from saosin. please. i am looking out for you buddy.

haste the day is pretty dumb.. but i love thier music.

[Tyler Revolution]

I like the name Death Cab for Cutie.

[Speyside]

I have to agree, I'm a fan of the name "Death Cab for Cutie."

[nards228]

It's a chinese proverb, and it's pronounced "Say-Ocean". And it means "Love with Caution".
I've always said "sow"-"sin." And the meaning behind that name is cool as hell.

Most Precious Blood? Really? I like that name, I mean it has the typical Blood in it but it actually has deeper meaning and can mean more than one thing and Death Cab isnt that bad. But the rest I do agree with, I just cant get over A Thorn for Every Heart, that name is just so rediculously terrible.

[venus/bacchus]

I think my opinion of MPB's band name is influenced by their music a bit. They've always given me that "tough guy" bullshit vibe, and the more disdain for their music, the more I tend to believe their name probably doesn't have a much deeper meaning and was just them sitting around saying "dude, most precious blood, we're sooo hxc!"

I could understand how you get that feeling, alot of bands like them have asshole fans but they really do have a deeper meaning, at least I know their older stuff did. I mean I could tell you without a doubt in my mind that their band under the name Indecision (my fav. hardcore band next to old VOD) had so much deeper meaning. The members of the old Indecision were the same members who founded Most Precious Blood. Most Precious Blood was actually a release they put out. It's suppost to mean the Blood of Chirst as well as the Blood in which is spilt in vain by acts of violence. Whats funny is the majority of the people who listen to them are actually mocked in an Indecision song called "Reconsider". I highly recomend it.

I never knew that. Thanks. It really doesn't change much in my mind about the band name (I know it has the deeper meaning, but it still comes across the wrong way), but that's good to know.

[KarolaBloch]

wait are you saying they are christan? i am confused.

[WakingTheMisery]

he is legend is a confusing name...
the hurt process is cheesy.

[No Control]

Well they arent "Christian Hardcore" like Zao, but they do have beliefs not only for Christians but for others, preventing the blood shed of the Innocent we all in the world no matter what faith should look for and follow.

yeah the name Scraps and Heart Attacks is pretty lame though I did like them. They broke up not too long ago and the singer started This Is Hell. Check it out, its pretty sweet, though some of the lyrics are lame.

[venus/bacchus]

Did you ever get the This is Hell demo? I sent out to them for it, but it never came.

Yeah, they live in the town next to me so its easier for me to get it than out of state haha. Its pretty good, if I was home, I'd send it to you but I'm up at school. But I'm gonna be home next weekend, if it doesnt show by then I'll let you know and send it to you.

A Thorn For Every Heart
Fear Before the March of Flames



i like both of those bands and i think they names a creative for possibly the name of an album but a little long for a band name

[MaybeOneDay]

I think they're fucking ridiculous. Every band following these damn trends out there tries to pick a name that sounds emo. For example:

I bet I could start a band and name it "Autums Mist Falling Through My Cold, Black, Empty Heart Against Fire That Blows Wind Into Friday" and you kids would eat that shit right up.

funny how i can agree with you...

most the people who post here would definately listen to stuff with those names.

I agree too, it's almost like some bands sit down and go through a dictionary and pick out words to put together and make it seem as if they are intelligent and deep. Haha, what a joke.

i like bands named after books.

[MaybeOneDay]

Real Big Fish is the dumbest band name ever.
1. they spell it REEL big fish. not real. hence REEL as in like a fishing reel to go with the fish theme.
2. they're a ska band. how many ska bands out there amazing names ? i can't think of too many.

[WakingTheMisery]

I don't know if I'm the only one getting this vibe from you, but you seem like a jack ass. I mean you actually take the time to point out that you wouldn't listen to a band with a "bad" name and to top it off you make yourself seem like you have perfect taste in music. Like it actually makes a difference.
you hit the nail on the head. i am perfect.

[sleepygrlgreen]

hmmmm dumbest... its probably not the 'dumbest' band name but i think hoobastank is extremely different. a band ending in 'stank' is gonna be funny.


what does hoobastank mean anyway?

[selftitled85]

i really dont like the names:
a thorn for every heart
your envious demise
the julianna theory
bleed the dream

names i like:
mxpx (magnified plaid)
a static lullaby

[MrChainsaw389]

See, to me, a good band name is a name that means something to you personally. Something that you didn't just make up for no reason. Taking Back Sunday, Coheed and Cambria, Streetlight Manifesto, Less Than Jake, even Good Charlotte is a rather decent name. Stupid names that just come from dumb ass generic emo words like, Every Time I Die, Bright Eyes, The Starting Line are just dumb.

[HeArTBroKe_]

Worst band name ever:

Funeral For a Friend

i say that on pure principal
you should read their lyrics...

A Thorn For Every Heart

I don't know if anyone ever repilied to this but, you were right about the first one and oh so wrong about the second. By far the worst band I know of as of right now is bedlights for blueyes or whatnot, or whatever it's called, I don't recall cuz it's just the most horrible horrible typical-emo based name ever.

[Scott Weber]

It's a chinese proverb, and it's pronounced "Say-Ocean". And it means "Love with Caution".
it means tiny heart...straight from anthony's mouth back in the day.

[Throwback]

I think the name A Wilhelm Scream is awesome because of what it means, being that scream they often use in movies that you hear (i.e. when Boba Fett falls into the Sarlacc Pit in Return of the Jedi).

Apparently its the name of a kids book. i swear thats breaking some kind of copyright law.

but i think Pretty Girls Make Graves is an excellent name. Besides their fantastic music too.

[AvengeAuthority]

definitely Give Up the Ghost, without a doubt, is the stupidest band name ever. Or The Secretions or Amazing Transparent Man, or Mars Volta, ahhh, too many to name. All those names suck though. :drunk: (HaHa)

[turbonium]

underoath... gayest name ever.

[-whisp-]

but i think Pretty Girls Make Graves is an excellent name. Besides their fantastic music too.

it is a good name, it's just way too long. any name that is more then 2 words just ruins it, in my opinion.

[darkhawk456]

[MkDoTe]

Jerry Has No Skates and 7 $ Sox are the dumbest band names i can think of.

[eraserfairy]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Dogs Die in Hot Cars in this thread...

I have to agree with some previous posts... Hoobastank, meWithoutYou (however you write it...though I do like them), Alexisonfire (Alex is on fire? Alexis on fire? I had no idea when I first heard of them), I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business (for the ridiculous length), Thursday (and other bands with names of months/days), etc.

Oh, and there's a ska band from Spartanburg, SC (currently in Columbia) called Rudy who were once "The Sparklecity Allstars" (Sparklecity=Spartanburg). That sounded like a little league team to me. And also...someone sent me a link of "Worst Band Names" once... The only one I remember is Cap'n Crunch and the Cereal Killers. Wow.

Sex Positions is the worst band name. Period.

[butIfellFORher]

missing since yesterday has to be the lamest name in the world

[Sing to Me]

I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business

one of the shittiest band names I have ever seen. on the same level as Crap Basket

[NickBam]

anything the words Fear, Death, Suicide etc...

[eraserfairy]

any nu-metal band who intentionally spells their name wrong

Hmm...or any band period who intentionally spells their name wrong, particularly when they put a z where an s should be. And especially if that s was at the end of the word "boys"

[charly horse]

i think once you get into havinig more than three words the name of the band gets dumb. I don't know why, i just like one word band names. Two max.

[HailTheHartBrak]

hoobastank. i mean what the fuck is a hoobastank

[atticus_4132]

nobody can beat my name that i found out
its a new local band called

BLITE:lol2:

[WakingTheMisery]

x's are gay.

x we eat feces x - my new band... who's in!?

[MidniteVulture]

Bowling For Soup.

Disregarding the fact that their music is awful, that is a terrible band name.

[soreloser]

Local band - Richard is Bleeding.

[Signals Corrupted]

saliva

[BrAndNew619]

Ashlee Simpson

...wait

Smile Empty Soul


Ashlee Simpson isnt a band

[Signals Corrupted]

Ashlee Simpson isnt a band


well if it was, that would be a terrible band name cos they would get sued by ashlee simpson

[level4loser]

you have the x'es. you loser.

[dumbcorey]

the worst band name is my friends band name

Asleep For Dreaming

trying to hard to be emo, huge poseurs

[OnLegendary21]

I hate those indie band names where they have the word "The" and then a single word following it. Like The Shins or The Unicorns. Even though I like The Shins, you just see way too much of that now. Could you be any more unimaginative? I can't stand most metal band names either like Cannibal Corpse or Velvet Acid Christ or some shit. It's all so dumb that they go out of their way like that to sound like a bunch of evil fucks.

[mOvielife99]

A Thorn For Every Heart
Fear Before the March of Flames
exactly

otep or whatever the hell there called...

^^ dude i totally agree. like those guys who name their bands with stereotypical 'death metal anger' words are all about the image

the best examples of these are Hatebreed and Cannibal Corpse

and Megadeth doesn't count cuz not only r they awesome but megadeth doesnt seem like an evil thing to me. the word "Megadeath" means "a holocaust of 10 million" or 1 million. i forget

and the same with emo bands like "My chemical romance" or "A thorn for every ehart"

worst of these is My Bloody Valentine

[Ambien]

It's a chinese proverb, and it's pronounced "Say-Ocean". And it means "Love with Caution".


That may be how the band pronounces it but technically it's pronounced, Sow-seen.

[MayoDeftinwolf]

ok we get it..its "say-oh-seen"

wait just because a band might have a dumb name does that mean it sucks/ cuz yea i dont like the name Funeral For A Friend but i still like THEM.

[Robots1Humans0]

Between the buried and me. That's just a pinched Counting Crows lyric. also those formulaic emo band names that involve a colour or a day of the week, or a month, and consist of three words. eg. The early November or Taking back sunday or small brown bike. (I do like the first 2 bands though.) :)

[Ambien]

ok we get it..its "say-oh-seen"

Was that sarcasm?

In chinese it's only two syllables. "Sao" is pronounced "Sow" and "Sin" is pronounced "Seen"

kind of. jsut that this thread started off as dumb band names and its turned into how to pronounce saosin. get back to the topic

im not trying to be a dick about it or anything but sparta isnt supposed to mean those ppl form Greece. sparta is japanese for something like "well-trained"

[Ambien]

kind of. jsut that this thread started off as dumb band names and its turned into how to pronounce saosin. get back to the topic

Hypocrit, you didn't comment on band names, you replied on the topic of how to prnounce SaoSiN, I'll get back on topic if you do.

[bkweller]

any band name with more than 5 words is usually garbage.

[xglassjawx]

Gay For Johnny Depp is a crappy band name haha

[LiLxb0yxbLuE]

i hate to rag on them, cuz they're from right up the street here. but Fear Before the March of Flames is about as gay as band names get. Now, BAD names are the generic ones that are really vague and have something to do with music, like The Sounds, The Music, Muse. How about BADASS names for SHITTY BANDS? i think i'll start a thread on that, like Vendetta Red? great name, shitty ass worthless band. oh, and i also think Letter Kills is a dumb name.

[apoemtothedead]

A Reason to Kill Yourself.

[LiLxb0yxbLuE]

oh hey wait, let me hate on another garbage band. ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. too long, too stupid, and way too ambitious starting it with elipses

[shotgunsinners]

Kk, just to clear things up.

I'm chinese.

Saosin pronounced "say-oh-sin" or "say-ocean" means absolutely nothing, especially not a Chinese proverb "love with caution."

Now, the pronounciation "sow-sin" is a bit closer to the meaning "tiny heart". But it's actually pronounced "Shiao-shing". That has two meanings actually - tiny heart. Shiao means tiny and shing means heart. (I feel like I'm giving you guys a lesson! ^^) Both words put together can also mean "Caution" which is probably where things got mixed up, and people thought it means "love with caution".

Chinese is a super hard language!

I agree. They're just too emo.

[NewAesthetic]

jimmy eat world- good band.. bad name..

the band name's actually a lot funnier if you know the story behind it. someone correct me if im wrong but jim's little brother came home with a picture he did in class one day, the drawing looking like the guy was attempting to eat earth. written above it in huge letters was just JIMMY EAT WORLD. the great story made the name stick.

looking back it's still dumb, but not necessarily bad, just funny. not everything music should be serious.

By the way PunkDrums182, are you Travis Barker? your company ownnzzzzzz and you're the best drummer ever and i'd reallllly like some of those new travis barker shoes and and and and and omgzzzzzz! (Your credibility went down the shitter when I saw your name)

[Scott Weber]

Acceptance, Tolerance and This Providence
What a bunch of shitty names.
Do you have any idea what This Providence stands for? Do you know the definition of the word Providence? Then take a look at the band and what they stand for, and their lyrics. It's far from a terrible band name. Acceptance is kinda a lame name.

All band names with numbers in it are retarded. Blink 182. Sum 41. SR-71.

ooooo someone dissing this providence? even if i did think their name was stupid (which i don't) one can't deny the fact that their music is grand.

acceptance -- yeah, kinda lame, but once again -- good music.

now, as for bands with numbers -- notice something .. all those bands listed make/made pretty horrible music (at least in my opinion.)

[PomonaForEmpusa]

My American Heart annoys me the most.. though i do like their music

other band names:
Bleed the Dream
A Thorn For Every Heart
Plans For Revenge
Roses Are Red
any band that misspells their name to make it seem cooler
Matchbook Romance
My Chemical Romance

and pretty much any other band name that's cliche without reason where they just name themselves a name cause it sounds cool or makes em sound tough.

[paperw1ngs]

Finch is a pretty bad name. even though i love them.
and Bane. so so bad.

[ummmmmmmmm182]

Only because of Ben Gibbard. Anyone else who tried to pull off the name Death Cab For Cutie would end up looking like a loser. But Ben Gibbard is a magic man.
