Members Renfield Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 Fudge Tunnel gets my vote. That is indeed a good one. It's late, my mind is drawing a blank at the moment, I know I'll have a few good ones to add though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chris-dax Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 when discussing this topic among real people one of my friends mentioned the name "Fresh Wind" as a name suggested by the guitard:facepalm: whats funny, the guitard is quite insistent on using this name. A name that was seriously proposed and vigorously lobbied for in one of my bands was "Whiz Band"....you heard right...Whiz Band From The 25 Most Ridiculous Band Names in Rock The The The story: A British act decided to come up with a band name even more ironically detached than the Band, just to make Robbie Robertson feel like an asshole. Why it's ridiculous: A band name this overtly meta is bound to either leave most people reenacting an annoying version of the Abbott and Costello routine or presuming you have a stutter. It also displays a level of pretentiousness that triggers an innate defense mechanism in most human beings to avoid your smug little dip{censored} band at all costs. (It's also not terribly smart to choose a name guaranteed to make it impossible for people to Google you.) and Mister Mister The story: The band's name references a record by another band called the Weather Report, which had the line "Mister Fister" in it. Why it's ridiculous: Mr. Mister manages a one-two punch of mediocrity: They've plagiarized an idea another band had, then changed it around just enough to obliterate all the wit and substance from the idea. We're not suggesting the band still wouldn't be on this list if it'd gone with Mister Fister instead. But at least that sounds like the kind of dumb, filthy joke you and your friends might come up with. Mr. Mister sounds like the kind of joke a five-year-old would tell to one of his toys.

Another (the one in my sig) was briefly named "The New #2" before settling on a better one in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 We even played live once with it until we could settle on a proper name. You need a name to play live, I was the local promoter. So if my band couldn't settle on a name, then I'd have no choice but to make up something to stick on the posters. It's actually an Iron Maiden/movie reference (The Prisoner). But yes, also rather funny for the name of my new band, on the side of my already signed main band.

Members Thrashterpiece Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 I was just watching a TV show the other day (NCIS maybe?) and there was a scene in a bar.

Members Thrashterpiece Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 Fudge Tunnel gets my vote. I hate to quote myself on this but the reason why I mentioned it is because it was actually a signed thrash band out of the U.K. in the early to mid 90's. The only reason I have ever heard of them is because the lead singer went to form Nailbomb with Max Cavalera of Sepultura/Soulfly fame. Nailbomb was pretty damn good and I still listen to it today....Fudge Tunnel....not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SunofNothing Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 why isnt metallica on that list? I think that is way worse then the beatles. i think most band names are pretty bad you just get used to hearing them and accept it. {censored} my last band was named neimoidian. Three i's, creature from star wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
