Members capnbringdown Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 All those band names suck.You need something that's obvious and can sound kind of dirty, maybe even a double etendre. Something like...The Crap Shooters.Think about it. It sounds vaguely dirty, and I think it is, but if anyone asks, you can always just play innocent.You'll thank me later.

Members capnbringdown Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Originally posted by Northstar Any name will do. The name will not make the band. The band will make the name (if you put enough time and effort behind it)... Read the following names and imagine you're in that band at a time when the name has not been agreed upon yet: Alice Cooper Steely Dan By themselves, these band names mean nothing. But the history and our perception of these bands is what infuses the names with meaning... These two have meaning. One's an old spirit and one's a dildo. I agree that band names don't really make a difference, unles syou blow it and pick something completely {censored}ing stupid, but there's a lot of bands out there with names that probably should sound stupid or lame but don't.

Members iodine74 Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 'Riding Giants' is a freakin great film BTW (documetary about Big Wave riders by Stacy Perelta). I always get caught up watching it when it comes on cable. Makes me want to take up surfing again even on our teeny northeast florida waves And to be on topic... I like "city" as part of a name, but I just don't like what it's paired with there. The other two don't do anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members orourke Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 How about SAVAGE ANIMAL Just kidding of course. After 50 years of rock, naming a band is getting difficult. As you see there have been lots of really dumb suggestions here. So like this guy said: Originally posted by Northstar ......Electric Light OrchestraBlue Oyster CultDuran DuranAlice CooperSteely DanBy themselves, these band names mean nothing. But the history and our perception of these bands is what infuses the names with meaning... You can add The Beatles to that list.So I'd go for City Scan, it's not bad.

I like "city" as part of a name, but I just don't like what it's paired with there. The other two don't do anything for me. That's where I got the name from. I was scanning through the On Demand movies and saw "Riding Giants". I originally assumed it meant literally riding the mythological creatures known as giants, though. I never actually watched the film. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JDandCoke Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 i think that the name wont have much meaning until people can assosiate it with your music. for me the only limit to the band name is, will i feel embarressed telling people? think about that when someone asks, so whats your band called? are you gonna be proud to answer??

It's an interesting point, a few names of that list "mean something"That's not to say that it's 'needed for success' or even of particular interest, but a lot of those names aren't really just arbitraryDuran Duran is the baddie in Barbarella - sort of sophisticated and sexy and mildly subversive while not afraid of a little campiness [seems the band fits that]ELO is a literal description of the band!! -- an Electric (as in amps and such) Light Orchestra As Cap'n mentioned...Steely Dan a ref to Burroughs kind of showing that "we're hip litterati" vibeNot that choosing these names was instrumental to any sort of success nor even that audiences neccessarilly "get it"-- just that those folks migh have chosen their names for expressive reasons.Will it help? dunno (I never, personally, give a sht myself) - don't agonize -- but have fun with it!
